To put an overnight rush on it was 500B when we went.....Several people walked in to pick them up during the short time we were there.....

I was just using it for an IDP so opted for the 3 week wait/mail out....

We have/have 2 Samsung washing machines.....We out grew out first one after using for 12+ years....Passed it along to family & it's still purring along.... Our Current Samsung is about 3 years old and no problems....Our Samsung fridge is 12 years old & has been trouble free....Our Samsung A/C, water heaters, & TVs have been trouble free....

The only Samsung products we have not have good service from are their phones - which we will never buy again....

I had my Toyota SUV lift gate struts replaced at Pro Auto in Hang Dong....

The cost was minimal....

Daengs off Mahidol Rd would also be a good choice....

Bob, drinking & a balcony....

What could possibly go wrong....

I only had one Grandmother that was alive for my childhood....A wonderful lady with a French accent so thick you could cut with a knife when speaking english....She actually arrived by sailing ship....

All of the family conversations with her were primarily spoken in french.....

I'm sure she'd experienced a lot along life's path....

Unfortunately, I couldn't understand a word....

Get a helmet !!!

Riding here is contentious ....

Cars & motorcys are not shy about buzzing the tower....They drive in reverse directions so you need to be aware of danger coming from all directions - including friendly & unfriendly dogs.....I ride only side streets  (not the busy main roads) to run to the small stores, exercise, or run the dog....

I have tried going on a few busy roads but you're basically invisible to most of the Thai drivers....I live close to a canal road that's very popular with riders....But, about once a year somebody gets killed out there & it's never their fault....

I have a nice bike & bike rack, but, I'm just not enthusiastic about loading up and scouting for other places....

If you're balance impaired & cannot master it - don't try it....

Also, get a good quality bike lock.....

I did my in person after our last trip knowing it was required....Now,I  tried online & was rejected on 2 attempts for Chiang Mai.....Each came back within 24 hours, so not much time lost.....Cruised through the drive up window with no queue - then off to the Dukes where we chowed down.....

Fortunately, immigration is only about half an hour's drive....

I'll try online next time and see if it wants to go through....This is the only time I've been rejected via online.....

Check Yokohama.....There's a tarrif on imported tires that raises the price.....Get local built brands..... Yokohama makes them in Thailand..... Unless you have an odd sized tire the prices you are sharing are a lot more than the Maxxis I had put on my SUV - about 7k each for a meaty, all terrain truck sized tire.....

My wife usually has 3-4 varied,  good, and healthy dishes for breakfast Meaning, I rarely eat breakfast cereals....

If I do, it will be Shredded Wheat with brown sugar....Topped off with homemade garlic, oregano, & onion bread, served with peanut butter & jelly.....Which I will dip into the cereal milk...

One reason I store my (paid for RV & vehicle) back in the states....

I could happily explore the US & Canada state by state for a long time....

I had almost convinced myself to sell them during the last trip but decided it's a good safe harbor to keep in place.....

Yes, there are compounds to take the yellow off the plastic lenses.....Big C, Lotus, & auto supply shops should stock....

Some report that a brush & toothpaste works....

I had mine done at a car wash place that charged 300฿ to remove the yellow stain....Took them about 10-15 minutes by hand.....

Turning the rotors trues them & takes any warp out....Under normal braking conditions the rotors get polished & less responsive as the brake linings wear down.....Along with truing that glaze needs to be broken so the linings & rotors can break in together for maximum efficiency.....

Hondas are notoriously lightly constructed.... I'm surprised there's enough meat on the rotors to withstand turning..... If turned too close to minimum specs there could be problems arising such as overheating & warpage.....

I'd want to know the rotor's specs before any decisions are made ....

If he weighed a muscular 280lbs as mentioned in the "synopsis", he'd be far too slow to deal with a gang of Filipinos. That's far too heavy to be an effective street fighter. That's the weight of the biggest bodybuilders on stage.

No, about 6'2"  220/225

It looks like a copy-and-paste article from somewhere else. I agree with most of it but some of it is a bit over the top, especially the story about the 280lb martial artist who is scared of Filipinos...  but what personal experience do you have in the Philippines? How much time have you spent there? Where did you live? There's no way you'd have that much knowledge of PI unless you spent much time there.

I have spent time there & cannot disagree with this synopsis....

I have a friend, a Marine Corp Master Sergeant that is half flip & half US....Also versed & teaches martial arts + built to match....The Marine Corps did not allow him to go to the PI. - they assessed it as being too dangerous.....

I only get oil massages now & have been using the same masseuse for 10+ years = no towel....

When I was getting Thai massages they always provided loose shorts & most shirts provided were too small....

Rum & coke....

Never liked the beer taste....

Fosters & Sapporo and maybe Henry Weinharts are the 3 that I found semi enjoyable (in the US)....

I never enjoyed the taste of beer enough to explore brands or craft beer...
