That could be uncomfortable ????

Yeah - you're at least medium well....

I went with Lazada for my home gym ..... It's built well & no problems 2 years in....There were multiple choices..... Everywhere I looked locally was 2-4x grossly overpriced.....

QR Jacking - potential issue here......

That is currently taking place....My wife warned me 1st - then I read an article where this was taking place.... There have been some instances in Thailand.... -
To bad they don't have those money for orphans, dogs, causes, etc on the counter like they do in the US....The cashier could've just dropped it in there.... Some of the antics of others can just take a smile away.....

It did cast a pall for a short time on our last half day, visiting local markets.... It made everything look & feel a little different.....

I don't really remember, she might have....I was starting to get <deleted> off because of the treatment.....More for how she was feeling wounded..... I kind of think she might have..... It was all strewn across the table....

On a trip to Paris, my wife & I stopped at a nice outdoor / indoor cafe like they have for lunch....The waiters we're almost stereotypical in dress and manner.....The meal was nice and we were getting ready to leave..... I'd already paid & given a nice tip, however my wife didn't want the coin change as we were flying out and counted, stacked it nicely at the center of our table as a nice gesture to leave for our waiter..... He came to our table, looked at the change, picked it up and flung it across the table.....He then took his stereotypical movie like poofy waiter self, turned on his heals and stalked away..... My (Thai) wife was wide eyed astonished as I was half laughing & half ticked off....She looked at me and all she could think of to say was "that's perfectly good money"..... I laughed, but felt bad for her at the same time as she genuinely thought she was doing something very nice for this other person.... She does not tip in Thailand (very rarely if a birthday or celebration).... I can still envision the shock & look on her face....

Affordable camper van coming to Thailand
pgrahmm replied to CLW's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Really not much more than a rolling bed with small cabinet space....No galley, fridge, bathroom or shower....A/C needs 30-50 amp set up.... No infrastructure to support FHU vehicles here..... Nothing to see here.... I've seen a couple of TTs/caravans for sale here = no A/C.... Imagine sleeping in that..... -
I get cotton t-shirts from Lazada that I wear around the house for comfort ....Their international size chart is accurate....
-
Basically, if there doesn't seem to be any implied threat or active unpleasantness, I just go on being myself.....If I glance & someone is "looking" at me, I'll smile then go back to what I'm doing..... Why let their problem project any power at me..... I'm not doing anything wrong, I dress approptiately & am not slovenly or overweight ..... If they don't like me on sight = fk'em....

I have 2 here & 2 in the US plus CC accounts with 2 banks.... One time my US bank had a security breach on one account & issued a replacement card - new requirements were a 6 digit versus the 4 digit I'd had....The only problem = they only send the "new" pin code by separate snail mail....If I'd only had the one account I would have been high & dry for about 6 weeks waiting for the pin number to get here - thankfully it did.... The 2nd account + online banking allowed me to move funds around and not miss a beat.... Food for thought....

Our Toyota SUV was about 3500.....I heard of another place at 2000....This was Chiang Mai two years ago.... Not new info, but ballpark....

Does the song & lyric choice come across a little pervy to anybody else? There were a lot of hopeful songs & lyrics from that era....

Bingo - works almost all the time.....

Crime Update: 7 dead in Half Moon Bay mass shooting; Suspect in custody
pgrahmm replied to Scott's topic in World News
Ouch, close to home..... That's my old stomping grounds..... Anytime I wanted to just drive, the coast was about 40 minutes away over the hill on 92 to highway 1..... Never tired of it......Always a cool vibe..... RIP to the victims..... -
Most maskless places in Thailand or ASEAN?

Can't tell you = we avoid them..... -
Lazada has many....If you are going to start from zero then you just dig to match.....?

Looking for good SAFE cycling runs 10-40 km from Hang Dong
pgrahmm replied to nglodnig's topic in Chiang Mai
It only took a couple of bicycle rides to convince me that I don't want to share the road with Thai drivers.... Especially on narrow streets....Not only do the car drivers seem to not care about bicyclists, the motorcy riders squeeze your space - some passing so close they rock you with their airstream.....A a difference in speed of 30+kph there's no doubt of the outcome should the two meet while sharing the minimal space.... I put it at 50/50 on road/traffic conditions & some just want to buzz the tower & intimidate the farang rider.....
