Yes, I know who she was traded for.  We got a still young, dynamic BB player.  They got a used arms dealer who long ago passed his use-by date.  

A merchant of death & his network of cash, contacts, & weapons flow is a nice compliment to Putin's needs at this point in time....

Technically not quite aiding and abetting an enemy, but close....

Note to op....

All Rim Pings are not the same....You might want to invest some time exploring the ones around you....

Some have full butcher & bakery counters with good food assortment & services to match....

Others are like a mini Rim Ping+......

You might have to pick and choose through a few stores given your cooking, transport, and storage limitations....

Check out the CM FB expat groups as there's a few farang specialized food vendors....Almost everything can be delivered....

You might also want to consider a microwave, elec. oven, or other (electric) preparation options....

Because their eyesight is better during the day.....

Just a roll of the dice there....About 15 years ago I went with a sports team on a goodwill tour.....We played ball against local teams, meet up functions, school tours, & such....The Mexican sponsors had different venue sports groups come through on different weeks .... La Paz, Baja....

The next week after we left, another group came through & the their bus was raked with gun shots and 2 people died....

It doesn't have the desperation look and feel of the PI, but there is a very real danger there....

Yesterday, the Duke's posted their Christmas info on their FB page ...

Yep - EV's are going to make it easy for acts of terrorism to completely shut down  entire countries....

fbook: no hours for Xmas day feast listed. no usable map ,,, Pa Daet's a big area.

 

would the clientele likely by all English ?

Check the FB page for location...

As for the mix of patrons = unsure....Their daily specialty feature is great hamburgers, which isn't "English" to me...

However, on Sundays they do serve the traditional English stuff as well as their normal menu items....

After 10 extensions, that gets funnier year by year, many rainy years, worsening attitude on roads, more mai pen rai, more and more empty promises, I getting to my wit's end. 

To sum up, short time won't give you the real and full picture as problems will present themselves over time.

 

As they do anywhere....

Worcester is in England and that's where the sauce come from 

Well, with that being the case, it's just a matter of luck circa 1776.....

Just throwing this out there.....

I inquired to a vendor about the amount of their shipping fee.....

They responded that the shipping fees were set & collected by Lazada.....

It's reasonable to assume that this is a very lucrative revenue stream for Lazada, it's entirely possible they are now complying with some newly imposed legal requirements for taxation purposes .....

Given the international scope of their operation....

The buy/sell rate/profit on the shipping must amount to many millions of $$$$ on any given day....

I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts= 

I don't think I've ever tasted it....

What am I missing?

To be fair , I never heard an ex pat say the weather was nice here. Maybe tourists think it is but if you live here you see it for what it is. Never used to be this bad. In the old days the cool season was actually cold even in Bangkok. Jacket needed at night time. In the villages hoar frost and icy puddles in the morning. 

Nearest you can get to that these days is a frosty whore in Pattaya.

That being the case... Watch out for Snowballs....

I experienced my first need for this yesterday....I went to my local bakery store to pick up some supplies....About 300B....Gave him a 1000B = no can do....I looked around outside - no place to break the bill....Bangkok bank Visa = no go.....

My daughter used her phone bank app to make the purchase....I could've too = didn't think of it.... I've never tried..

Even though I'm not supportive of the cashless concept, it's an option  I'll have to get adept at....

I haven't touched a welder in years.... My knowledge is dated & prehistoric on the topic....

If the half shaft is hollow, there's a chance that an oversized bead/weld could hold on a lumbering, slow truck.....

If it's a solid piece, like a spindle, there's no way a weld would last - welding just the circumference... Not to mention the loss of any needed tempered strength built in during the forging/foundry & machining/milling process....

My unknowledgeable 2¢ worth....

My ex FIL from my I'll fated & I'll advised teen marriage was a heavy mechanic for a large concrete construction company....Those trucks and the heavy construction equipment took some heavy stress & abuse....The things he & his buddies could improvise, weld, and repair on those cement encrusted trucks was truly impressive.....

Yes, I've had it done in CM....The cost was 250k all included....

The Dr excellent....At that time he was in Dubai & Japan one week per month & two weeks here in Chiang Mai every month....He updates yearly at Boston University & uses USA's latest appliances....

Lazada has it...

The English are quite happy with the result, England just need to avoid a big defeat in the last game to progress through to the next stage 

555/lol rationalization is never a healthy thing....

The Settlefor's strike again....

5! You mean Office Mate next to Baan n Beyond (Bed Bath and Beyond) ????

Yep 

I've never seen one.....There is an Office Depot in the Airport Plaza Mall area behind the mall....

Whether it's true to form with self op copiers = don't know.....
