In general, I need Lazada as much as a dog needs a flush lavatory = never!

Therfore I don't have to deal with fake gillette razor- blades - and so on.

Don't forget (all theses promises:)

.... we a near to the next election in  May 2023 !

The junta is afraid of the election, therefore they think about  .......

Here in our village in the North you can rely on Thai Yai (borne in Myanmar) handycrafts. We don't regret having given them the different jobs to build our house.

It seems the Thai government doesn't know this.

Nearly every photo containing "top" Thai men older than 50 years shows men with black hairs.

Guess why ???? ?

What the article doesn't say is that damage to the lungs is correlated with the long-term exposure to pollution, not just with extreme but occasional values.

Chiang Mai (and others in the area) has absolutely awful values for a couple of months, but the rest of the year is quite ok. In the rainy season, PM2.5 is around 10 or less. It is 15 today at my place, without rain since 2 days. I have measured 0 at times.

A place like Bangkok might have the same yearly average as Chiang Mai, but it could be worse for long-term effects on sensitive people.

This said, CM in Feb-Apr is indeed a gas chamber and masks are advised - though it was distinctly better this last season.

The same here in our Mae Hong Son Province.

But it only depends on the rain. Nearly polution-free months from February until today because of the very wet saison. The people couldn't burn their fields and open fire in the forests.  The years before have been awful (as usual) during the months you mentioned above. One reason we have not been "forced" to leave our home for the better air in Hua Hin.

Never forget this:

for every street here in Thailand, which should  be built, the contractor has to pay a "friendly fee under the table" to the office. To win some money, the contractor has to save the volume ore quality of the "ingredients", in general cement.

Consequence: road holes nearly everywhere, esspecially in the sois. When you see them you know (by 100%) what has happened.

Do you notice a pattern?

You let it happen!

IMHO many Thais are great in adapting to different situations and different people.

And they are used to the fact that there is, in any given situation, one person who is in charge and another person who follows that person who is in charge.

If you make it clear that you are in charge, then they will do what you tell them to do.

And if you are not in charge then guess what. Then they will lead and tell you what to do.

In your case it is obvious that you are not in charge...

 

I remember one of my favorite bargirls. She was perfect for every customer - just in different ways.

I.e. when I was with her, she played the naughty schoolgirl. When she was with other guys then she looked and behaved in other ways. Other clothes, other make-up, it sees she adapted perfectly to whatever the guy was looking for. And I am pretty sure all of us customers though that the version which they saw was her true self. Like: for all those others she plays a show. Only for me she is like she really is. Yeah, sure.

 

 

 

 

You want or like hookers. Then you get what you payed for.

If you want a lady with same emotion, use HEARD and BRAIN. Very useful for longtime relationship!

Here in the North you have already problems to get XXL size for shirts. Why? Walk on the street and you will never see a "heavywight". Here is no KFC, MacDonald, and nearly no fastfood. Furthermore here are lots of hilltribes who must work hard for their own food or go/walk long ways through the mountains. They don't have a nightlife with open pubs on the mainroads, consuming a lot of beer.

But walk here through our village on the main road, you will forget all ladies in the  bars, nighhtclubs, beauty saloons etc, you will see slender young (boys and) girls. They don't need plastic surgery, they are slim, beautiful by nature. They easily can hide their bodies behind the fat bodies of the townspeaple or fat falangs!

Typical Thai situation:

Never plan in advance. Getting "active" after accidents, or when something happened not respected by planing.

Biggest safety danger: corruption!

Think about contacting a German Consulate here in Thailand or the German embassy. Talk with them about the RETURNING-PROBLEM (what would they accept to believe that she will fly back to Thailand. Young children still in school, taking care for her parents, having her own house, apartment here in Thailand, i.e.)

That was useful for me some years before.

The engines are fine, it's the software one should worry about. Boeing shelled out $2.5 billion in penalties after covering up on the 737 MAX. That did not bring any of the victims back.

3722 people have died in Boeing 747 accidents, so it's not a spotless record.

Why should I fly in a Boeing???

Airbus-tickets are a little bit more expensive, but the flight is much safer.

Every time when we go to Hua Hin we take a plane. That is not much more expensive than a bus or a train ticket, but it is at least 100x safer than sitting in a bus from Chiang Mai to Bangkok and vice versa.

And it's more relaxing. A flight CNX to BKK or DMG takes a little bit mor than 1 hour, driving by bus takes 9 hours ore more, depending on the traffic jam.

Browsed through the thread and have I overlooked some keywords?

Smoking, drinking, bars and all kinds of "entertainment"?

Think about stopping or reducing.

Seen so many guys wasting a significant part of their money for such.

 

I had the same idea: save money - no lao, no beer and no mia noi!

Instead of buying new clothes give the cash money to the police and tell them don't take now any tea money for a while ????.

Dr. Surasak in Dentalworld was excellent for me.

I prefer the smoke to the rain.

This rain is costing me money!

... and money seems to be more important for you than your health?

Problems for cash money:  counterfeit money. If you lose cash, you must be very lucky to get it back.

Problems for paying by card or mobile:

safety; card datas have been stolen on ATMs by criminals.

just a short time before, card paying has been stopped in Germany for cards of some issuers because of a data mistake/s;

What you do with cash i do with a phone as fast maybe faster.. it all depends i got people with cash who dont prepare they take as long as those with phones who dont prepare.

 

Its all about preparation and getting used to it.

No, it's all about location! Come here to the North in a remote area and try to pay by card or mobile. You will leave the shop with empty hands. Only one exception: 7/11. But there it takes longer than cash.

"NOTE: Forum rules applies. We are also doing a major overhaul of the forum rules to be announced shortly. "

Let's hope these changes include a sustained effort to drive out the anti Thai obsessives, the Thai haters, Thai bashers and generalised anti Thai racism whose constant trolling is a distraction.

It seems you are not able to differ between criticism and ANTI-THAI-xxxxx.

Cheap fuel prices in Thailand? The elections are very near !

Typical Thai military style:

what is outside of childrens head is more important than what should be inside .... in the brain ! (measurement in cm not possible 555)
