The Wild Hog pub/saloon in Pa Deat next to Hang Dong....I can't vouch for how many people are there in the evenings.....We go for the food .....
-
We've used Straight Talk purchased through Walmart..... When we go we RV, so need it for calls, reservations, etc.... Straight Talk uses all available cell towers making it useful & the RVer's choice for day to day..... If you plan on YouTubing & posting videos needing lots of data usage, you might need to go with a carrier's plan....

Recommendation for someone to replace zipper on a backpack.

Mr Bag Fix on Hang Dong Rd... A yellow & black sign - on the northbound side 1?-2? Kilometers south of the Airport Plaza Mall.... -
The Thai people like to graze.....Organized, sit down meals which might have nutritional values built into the meals - not so much..... Years ago they'd "graze" on fruits, etc. - it was their sweet treats + healthy.... Now they graze at 7/11's when the hunger strikes.....If you see a school there's a 7/11 nearby to take their money, while conditioning each new generation.... It's not going to get any better.....

Yes, I feel safe here.....We do lock & bolt the doors.... Our dog would make anyone pause that might think about coming into our yard.....Our MuBaan does not have a guarded gate, but in the years here = zero threatening incidents..... When house hunting I passed on the biggest/nicest house in small villages.....We can travel 4-6 months a year & coming home to an emptied out/plundered house was one of the reasons I passed..... I've lived in the PI.... It's definitely not safe in multiple ways.....

We have a police big wig down the street.....Harley, multiple cars....A big house & a walled property..... He has 5 aggressive Chihuahua dogs patrolling the place & they make an ungodly amount of noise when anything gets near their gate....They have a couple of larger dogs that seem to keep a distance from the the Chihuahuas which I've dubbed the Rat Patrol....

Dr Morgan seems to be very popular.... Health Care Medical Clinic in Hang Dong... Check out their FB page.... They also publish health updates & current maladies & medication/vaccine availability.....

So - Basically, anything you mount is ridden....

Local delivery off a water supply truck....Both the big 5 gal & 1 liter??? bottles that come in crates.... No idea what "name", there's about 3 services that come around & the wife decided which to use....5 crates & 6 big jugs each visit....

I'm sorry - too much to itemize & almost all of what has already mentioned.... The one day of travel that jolted/ affected me enough to give me a serious, sober pause was the Civil War battlefields where 10,000's to 100,000's of men died during a single day.....While unable to visualize the carnage each place; the heart was very heavy that day....

Did they ever find her?

My family moved from Massachusetts when I was 2 - 3 years old.... I can remember the house, the outside places around the house - the hill - the equipment parked up the street....My Mom's friends - where they lived & where she worked.....I remember my baby sitter trying to tie me to a tree because I always went wherever I wanted.... I remember the flight to SF & the fight I had with the airline employees that tried to take my basket of toys.... However, about half the time I don't remember where I last left my phone..... So, if you never hear from me again, you'll know I'm still looking for the damn thing.....

Before buying we moved 3 times over 10 years....Each time we received our money back after inspections.....The 3rd time we rightfully shouldn't have....Our lease was 3 years & we were there only 1.5 years (we bought our own place)....The owner returned about 75% of the deposit, which was 75% more than we were entitled to....

Minding your own business and................

That could leave a mark .... Fortunately, CA roadways have almost zero motocy traffic.....Here, there could have been serious carnage..... -
Bread machines can make cakes, puddings, sticky rice, jam/jellies, yogurt, or bake....The first machine had a rice wine recipe.... I have made cakes & it works....A drizzled pound cake does fine, but other cakes taste like cake but looks bread shaped..... I've tinkered with the idea of baking bread & cutting lengthwise to make bread based quick pizza.... It's easy to make & tuck a couple of loaves in the freezer for my "on demand" daughters..... Even without all the preservatives laced in commercial bread the homemade bread lasts up to a week bagged in the fridge..... For what they can do they are a fine kitchen addition.... In the future I'll always have one based on just taste & freshness alone.... We do have the mixers, air fryer, oven, food processor(s) - simple & complex, a blender that could grind down a Christmas ????....But why go through all that stuff when, in under 15 minutes I can have the bread of my choosing in process.... I personally don't want to spend hours in the kitchen doing what I can do in minutes.....I like & was raised on sourdough & I can come pretty close....

Thailand is no longer the Land of smiles.
pgrahmm replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I routinely exchange smiles & it's very rare when one isn't returned.... About the only too busy, unrelaxed, non smiling people I see are farangs..... -
It is a farang family & this is their trained family pet they have to part with....Nothing indicated anything different.... Given the tone of the listing & the accompanying pictures I would have no trouble accepting it, and the dog on face value.... It's a nice looking/presented pup & I thought briefly about checking further..... We just don't have the space to take in another....

Garlic oregano french bread is a fav + Mango Hawaiian bread seem to be the 2 front runners.....I thought the cinnamon raisin turned out ok, but response was lukewarm....Those are the 2 that seem pretty standard.....
-
The ads are popping up like crazy....It seems the timing is staggered to aid in the ad opening up... Pretty damn annoying....

If anyone is interested, around 3 weeks ago in a Chiang Mai FB group there was a family looking to re-home a 4 year old male Bangkaew.... They said people, kid, family, & cat friendly.....They were moving out of country.... It appeared to be a nice, healthy animal in the pics.... Unfortunately, I didn't save the info.....

We have a full sized oven along with the bread machine....Great to have both...I make 2 or 3 full tray pizzas at a time.....5 minutes of kneading in the bread machine makes things flow along nicely.... There's more than a few things a bread maker can be used for.... It's nice to have both on tap.... Making a family fav bread takes less than 10 minutes to compile the ingredients & turn the machine on....Then on to other things.....
