Is Ikea an option?

Make my own....Crispy crust with Italian pepper salami, ham, mushrooms, & onions....I make 2 or 3 at a time.....

I can make 3 very large for the price of one large dining out..... There's 4 of us so the 10-12" local pizzas don't cut it.....

77 now.....When I was in my 30's I worked for about a year in downtown L.A.....It was a zoo then....Crowded, predators doing their hustle everywhere, people loitering everywhere you looked,  people defecating in parking lots was pretty common.....Mostly Hispanic.....My office was at a corner "storefront" location....I could watch the parade every day....

EXCEPT

When Immigration was making sweeps.....Then, the streets were empty, businesses shuttered, &  parking was available....

There was a huge illegal problem then....

IMO, if anything, the numbers are understated now....

Part of the PI versus TH debate....

Why do Thais not have a built-in oven 

Because many use outside cooking techniques .....

Dishwashers are few also....I doubt there's any trash compactors around either.....

It mostly missed me, just rain off and on.

The Khlong next to our MuBaan has breached into a expanse of rice fields....

There's a banana plantation at the end of our Soi....Their reservoir is about 8ft deep & a 1/4  - 1/3 acre in area....It was bone dry with no in flowing water source..... It's now full.....

We're on the SPT-HD border.....

A LOT of water coming down...

Parts of San PaTong are flooding.....

Thank you very much 🙂from THailand?

Lazada has it available.....

I'm unsure about Lotus/Big C type stores.....

I've used this with success on devices around the globe.....

It will allow use of 110 & match what you need for your phone & other accessories...

The 7-11 that's within 200 meters of my Daughters high school has higher prices on small snacks versus the 7-11 6k further down the road on the way home.....Chips & other packaged items seem the same....They also carry more of the larger sized snack items....Eliminating some choices.....

Makes me thankful that my wife is 180' degrees different than your gal....

I "vetted" her for 3+ years before seriously commiting.....

Driving in CM yesterday about 85-90% had helmets......

Once heading back home to a more rural area I'd estimate that number around 65-75% wearing helmets.....

They don't have pursuit vehicles & they have to set up sporatic roadblocks to net the the non helmet offenders.....

Unknown if they fine via traffic cameras.....Which are not everywhere....

Without pursuit vehicles there will never be compliance + the wide open spaces of rural Thailand would be almost impossible to patrol & enforce....

OK, OK, we understand, but who's the bearded guy standing next to you?

Laughing out loud.....

The company that built it was already in bankruptcy before it was built....

There's not much hope for reclamation....

It didn't draw in many shoppers....Even on it's best days....

I really dislike apps.

the small screen makes it difficult to browse.

I've not found any problem using it....

The search function makes it easy.....

That's really sad, among the food delivery services, Foodpanda was the one that gave me the best experience.

 

Do Line Man or Grab now have a website to order from ?

Line Man has it's own app.... It's worked well for us....

I use it mostly for shopping Big C....

My wife uses it for takeout delivery.....

They've used for a taxi service twice & it went smoothly....

Been there too.

I actually like that park more.....The way it's  built into the hill + exploring the outlying temples on the river.....

Plus, the huge bats, unlike any I've seen before - or after.....

Been there. Great little town. Kamphaeng Phet is good too. Hated Phimai though. They key for me is nice restaurants and good hotel options.

. Additionally, Si Satchanalai Historical Park deserves a look.....About 20-30k from Sukhothai.....More charm than Sukhothai & about the same size....

Ayuttaya to Sukothai is a 5 hour drive.

True, that's why I suggested it for another trip.....

When I did border jumps in Mae Sai back in the day.....

There were markets across the river & boats ferrying people back and forth from one side to the other....

All you'd have to do is take a boat across & not come back.....
