can confirm. I order from Suk 11 or The Commons Sala Daeng. Suk 11 is slightly better and very consistent in their quality. very cheesy. they give you chilli flakes and oregano too. oh and ketchup, the super sweet local brand but that's par for the course here. I like to slather my pizzas with the chili flakes, oregano and either Tabasco Habanero or Franks Hot Sauce.
the only downside is that they seem to be out of pepperoni at both stores for the moment. not happy Jan! ????
Made me hungry....Decided to cheat make my own with crispy garlic, oregano crust....
I like big crusts I can slice & butter like hot bread rolls....

I don't like cities, but, I like the conveniences a city has to offer....
When I first started coming here I searched the city area & perimeter....
I found the Hang Dong area to be ideal for me....
I started at Doi Lo & found it too far out....Since then it's been the Hang Dong, Mai Hia, Kad Farang areas & all have been good.....

We stop at one of 2 places....
1- Kaphaeng Phet....There are rooms right on the river with places to eat within walking distance.....
2- There is a turn off for The Kings Dam....Once taken, a left turn will take you to a cute little town (not sure I ever knew the name)... There's nice, small, clean hotels there & it's a nice quiet stop....Food is more local....Bicycles available to pedal around.....
2A- We usually drive up to see/walk the dam & walk the park below the dam with the 30ft high bicycle.... There's a lodge/hotel (with dining), right there in the park....We haven't stayed there but it looks nice....With short trails, bridges, and vistas....
There are also boat excursions available - unsure on schedule/timing.....
It's always an enjoyable, relaxing stop/mini side trip...

What's truly bizarre is that despite this looming crisis of water shortage and the threat posed by the increasingly hot climate, Arizona had the 4th highest rate of population growth in the USA fueled largely by incoming residents of other states. And Utah was number 3.
Utah is a beautiful state.....Arizona is a big sandbox......
Las Vegas/Nevada is also draining the Lake.....
Sin City Outdoors has been chronicling the drop on a weekly basis on YouTube for months.... It's amazing the dramatic changes week to week.....Too many people in a historically arid land....
Meanwhile in other news - Sydney & Bangkok are flooding.....

The 3rd floor at the Airport Plaza mall is all electronics....
We found a nice Oppo phone at Banana electronics for my uni daughter.....They were cordial & ordered what we wanted.....720 Snapdragon....
We've all switched away from Samsung & Nokias to Oppo (5 in the family - 7 phones) & found them to be superior with no performance or warranty concerns (even the one I dropped in a river was fine after drying for a week).....
Their service center is also at Airport Plaza - an important consideration = just in case ....
Most other companies have the pay a deposit & we'll send it to Bangkok to be checked caveat.....

I wonder if the heat build up from the 240 plugs makes them use the power strip? Old houses & overloaded power strips are common.....
An appliance extension would be capable, but only one receptacle/plug.....
Amorn has some stout extension cords with a circular end that houses a regular heavy duty plug receptacle like your wall receptacle....We have 2 we use outside, well pump, fountain, etc..... They've worked for years & still appear like new.... Despite being outside....

I went to refill Lispril today for hypertension.....
None of the pharmacies we visited had it in stock + indicated it was not available from suppliers....The stock apparently ran out 2 months ago....The pharmacists indicated that many expats are looking for it....
Has anyone else run into this?
Has anyone found an available/reliable supply - or an alternative?
I did not check under the Zestril name....
Any helpful advice would be appreciated....
-
Anything we've had them install has been done well....
But, we are close to Chiang Mai so the installers probably stay busy + current skill wise....
I'm sure the further out you get the quality of the work diminishes....Same with auto repair options in the rural areas...

A second for ProAuto..... I'm auto industry retired.....With 3 cars I worked my way through numerous (dismal) "good name" shops until I found ProAuto.....
We've used them since they opened as a full shop.... I've made many referrals & all have come away happy....
Check out their FB page & customer ratings....

Weather cycles....
It appears they built in low places & under engineered/planned poorly to include these cycles.....
Now, it's the sky's fault....
The areas naturally did ok & drained before people encroached, overbuilt, under engineered/planned.....

Has anyone used The Colonel Company across the street from immigration?
They have hot girls....I tried them once for visa renewal...
At that one time they didn't seem very organized & very poor communication. ....However, they did get the renewal handled - but I didn't return the next year to see if better or worse.....

One reason why we passed on many beautiful houses out in the countryside when we were looking....Little villages with some having nothing to do except drink & watch to see who/what car was going by....
Like a neighborhood watch= in reverse.....

Food and cooking gas as well.
Where hasn't it......
Much less of a baseline cost here......
In the states it cost me almost $100 per month just to keep the pilot lights lit - years ago....$200+ a month for cable/internet (Comcast)....
We spend pennies to dollars here - and are lucky to do so.....
We had been spending months in the US RVing before Covid every year = and every year it was a new case of sticker shock.....
We're going back once the flights/C19/travel difficulties stabilize.....I have a feeling the sticker shock is going to be horrific.....
We live in privilege here - and - we are privileged to live here....
Don't let the noise/static/petty annoyances get to you.....
We are spoiled for good life choices here.....
That greener grass on the other side of the fence = isn't.....

Been there and done it successfully to my UK bank. Not cheap though as exchange rate is bad.
This is new... They're saying it's a low cost program.....

Bangkok Bank is currently advertising easy money transfers out of Thailand.....
You might check that out.....

It's kind of a mixed bag....Check Makro....They have a fairly extensive cooking section....
However, when I searched there for a new electric oven I couldn't find one as good as the one I had bought there before....
You will probably have to search a few stores to mix and match to complete what you need....
Bath & Beyond has a selection....Central has choices....Ikea has a store in Lazada with possibilities....
We have a nicely equipped & complete kitchen - but we didn't find any one place that had everything.....
Many go to Yok on the super highway for kitchen accessories..... I've never been, so cannot advise....
The Makro on Hang Dong Rd is more user friendly for cooking utensils, etc......

I've bought large items over 12k baht + (as well as more than 100 other items)....Never anything additional charges tacked on.....
