Is a different adhesive other than cement required for larger floor and wall tiles
My condominium floor was bare concrete, previously there was parquet. They didn't do any self-leveling and they did a great job with the installation of my tiles.

If you like to learn about all of this, I can recommend this YouTube guy. He installs tiles since decades, and it seems he knows what he is doing.

Yes, but ... Self-leveling cement is a good idea, and it is wonderful if it is done correctly. Unfortunately, it might be done incorrectly and then it makes even more problems. I wouldn't ask anybody who is not familiar with that procedure to do it, because there is a good chance they will make the situation worse.

You need something like this: TILE ADHESIVE JORAKAY GREEN 20KG (homepro.co.th) And, especially for larger tiles, it is highly recommended that you use a tile leveling system. And, last but not least, make sure the gaps between the tiles are according to what is written on the tile box. Summary: You can do a lot wrong with laying tiles. And it is a lot of headache, work and money to fix it.

Was I being mean?
I have no experience with caddies, but the massage ladies are a good example. If we go to foot massage, we pay 300B for an hour massage each, and 100B each for the massage people. Personally, I think the 100B is way too much compared to the original price. 33% tip! But it seems that is the normal amount which the people who work there expect. So sure, I or we could give less tip, maybe 20B or even 50B. Would that be a good idea if we go there regularly? I don't think so. Because we would pay less than "everybody" else. Would it affect the service. I guess so. In my mind I summarized that to: The massage cost 400B including tip. It's not exactly cheap, but I can live with it because the service is good and just around the corner. I think sometimes it makes sense that we adjust to whatever is the norm (in that place).

Let her do the tipping in the local bars, restaurants, etc. She knows what makes sense - for whatever reason. You avoid conflict with this behavior. Watch and learn.

They all have in common that they are not predictable. Many people try, but nobody really knows what will happen.- New sofa which will last ?
I just had a look at them. 10 years warranty. Does anybody here have any experience with them? Products | La-Z-Boy of Thailand (lazboythailand.com) Personally, I would be looking at a 2-seater, also called Loveseats.- New sofa which will last ?
As far as I know IKEA has different quality grades for sofas, kitchen, and probably more. Some have 10 years warranty, some less.- What Lifestyle Changes Have You Made to Improve Your Health After 40?
I listen to my body. And as a consequence of that I have a little less of this or nothing or that. I still drink alcohol. But there was a time when I could drink all night and work the next day, and all was fine. Not anymore. If now I drink "a lot", then I am tired most of the next day, I don't feel bad, but also not particularly good. For that reason, I drink now less often and fewer drinks. It seems my body disagrees with some food, i.e. mayonnaise. So, I try to avoid it, most of the time. I am sure there are many other food and drink items which I found out over the years don't make me feel good when I consume them or maybe hours or a day later. So, I avoid them. I don't do any of the "this is good for you or that is bad for you" things. We are all different. Some of us like a lot of fruits, others lots of meat, whatever. Eat what you like and listen to your body. Your body will tell you what you want/need and what is not so good. And, at least IMHO, relax and don't make your life miserable. I prefer dying with a tub of ice-cream with 70 compared to eating only healthy tofu with 80.- Lazada Requesting My ATM Debit Account and PIN numbers.

There was a time, decades ago, when the USA did some good things for this world. Now they are not all bad, but bad in many ways. And it gets worse. Will it ever get better again? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on that.- Rising Temperatures Threaten Thailand's Economy, Tourism, and Future
There is always something which will supposedly happen in the near or not so near future. And we have to act, now! No, we don't have to act because some people did some research and then some others exaggerate anything they can find to support their misleading agendas. Take it easy, and don't do anything extreme based on some models which are likely incorrect.- Covid-19 destroyed millions of peoples lives with little or zero consequence whatsoever
You should have pointed that out without any connection to any robbery. Because hard times and robbery are not directly connected. And about hard times: Many of us get used to better and better living standards. Over the years we have bigger homes, faster cars, we eat better and more expensive food, maybe go on more expensive holidays, etc. And then, when we can't afford the maximum version of our lives anymore, we call it hard times. I think we should get back to the idea that some form of shelter and enough food to survive is all we really need to survive. It's nice to have luxury, but we don't need it. And from time to time, it is good that we learn to live with less. And having more does not make us automatically happier.- Why were you born?: Did you ever stop to wonder?
