Which coupe/sporty looking car to buy?
phetphet replied to YorkshireTyke's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The BMW 3.0 CSL is coming back for 2023. If too expensive, Honda do RS version of the Civic and even the Honda Accord can look quite sporty, but again, maybe too expensive. Of course. you could do what a lot of Thais do and just fit a really big wing on the back of your current car. ???? -
I got mine down by virtually going vegetarian for three months. Had rolled oats with almond or oat milk for breakfast. Only ate apples for fruit. Mainly had salads for both lunch and dinner, with a slice of wholemeal bread and some occasional grilled chicken breast slices added. Added Chia seeds to everything. Only drank water or green tea. I rarely drink alcohol nowadays. Boring as hell, but when I went for my next check up, the numbers had dropped drastically. Unfortunately back up again now as that diet took all the enjoyment out of my food. I exercise five hours a week and still my numbers are high, so diet is the main thing. Planning on starting a new, healthier, more balanced that diet that is more varied in the New Year.

Give it another two weeks, and this accident will be eclipsed by the number of deaths over Christmas and the New Year. Same same. Nothing changes.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)
phetphet replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Just stated watching the second season of Slow Horses. Starring Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas. The first series was very good, and this one is shaping up well too. Apparently there area whole series of books on which the tv series is based. So hopefully there will be more seasons to come. As an aside. I have just seen Avatar 2 at the cinema and the special effects are amazing. 3 hours long though. -
I once ordered what I thought was a bargain Nokia 3310 from Lazada, and was sent a fake. If it seems to be too good to be true, it normally is.

Tesla had a stand in Siam Paragon last week. It was packed, with Thais and their families all getting in the display models to try them out.

They have them on Lazada Philippines: https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/arcturus-military-wool-blanket-45-lbs-warm-thick-washable-large-64-x-88-great-for-camping-outdoors-sporting-events-and-survival-kits-i3048832632.html if you could find a way of ordering from there. Also on ebay. Most of the cloth here seems to be synthetic. Very little, if any wool or cotton. Asia's natural fibre is silk. I think you might have to settle for a substitute or accept that you will need to order from abroad.

When my K-bank branch closed, I received a letter stating that due to the closure, my account would be moved to xxx branch from a certain date, and that I would retain the same account number and all facilities as before. Funnily enough, some of the old staff moved to the new branch, which though a little less convenient to get to, made the move a little more friendly as they recognised me.

Saw some in Marks & Spencer in Bangkok last week. Wasn't cheap. I believe there is an M&S in Central in Phuket.

Crazy Traffic - Only going to get worse - Phuket going to be overrun

Not just Phuket. Most flights to Samui are full. Very busy here now and will get busier over the next two weeks. A lot of pent up demand to get away. For various reasons. -

Samui 2022 - Whats happening !
phetphet replied to khunPer's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
There is a Pink Floyd tribute band doing a concert somewhere near Chaweng Lake 27th and 28th December. They are supposed to be very good. In aid of some Muay Thai Foundation. According to the poster that I saw. Prices 300THB/person, or 8000THB/table of eight. -
OP. Looking back now. Is there anything that you wish you had done differently? Or changed? Any modifications that you plan to do? I do recall your underground air pipe collapsed through weight of soil. Did you haver to fix it?

Prince Harry says 'it's a dirty game' in new Netflix trailer
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in World News
You are right about his position being decided to a certain extent by parenthood and birth. He even followed the usual route of serving in the military. Fighting for Queen and country to the extent that he was allowed by the limiting effect of his position. I just find it hard to understand why someone with an aversion to the press, who has stated a desire for more privacy, would take the "Hollywood route". Sure. If he wants to go live in America with his family and lead a more private life, good for him. But Oprah Winfrey and Netflix to sell 'their truth' ? An interview, a documentary and a book? How many times do they need to tell us about their problems? Why not just let it go and live the quiet family life he supposedly desires? -
Prince Harry says 'it's a dirty game' in new Netflix trailer
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in World News
I'm just surprised that someone who wanted so much privacy for his family has gone so far in the opposite direction. As for his book Spare. It's not like he hasn't known all his life that as the second born to the future King, he would only be second in line until Prince William had a child. He wasn't really a spare as he like to call himself, but one of many in an hereditary monarchy. One of who would be called upon step up if he refused the Crown. We've not heard other royals look on their position in line as a curse as he seems to think it is.. As for his wife. When we see how she has treated her own father for selling a story prior to the wedding. Isn't she now doing the same thing? Just for a lot more money. The then Prince Charles even walked her down the aisle, and as King stated his love for the pair of them. We obviously don't know what has gone on behind closed doors, but it does seem like both the late Queen and King Charles have tried to build bridges. Unsuccessfully it appears. -
Bank insists I wear a mask
phetphet replied to happydays's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
i have been turned away a couple of times by staff at SCB Bank for not wearing a mask. Used to always wear one during the pandemic, but just stopped the last four or five months when everyone else did. I still keep a mask under the seat on my motorbike, but rarely carry one. Although I do when I visit BKK. It's annoying to be turned away, but its their bank, their rules. Not so strict in BKK Bank.
