Wouldn't Makro in Mae Rim be easier food shopping than Tesco at MeeChok? Of course, across the street from Tesco both Tops and Rimping supermarkets offer more western foods.
Anyway, will tell you that the swimming pool at MaeJo university is the best i have found in this area. Clean, usually few swimmers, 50 baht per all day, large Olympic size, and unlike all the others, totally covered by overhead roof, but open air. Love to go there and put in my kilometer of butterflies.

Say, Pedro. Do you know what is a 'wu mao'? That is a chinese shill working for the communist china govt to infiltrate world wide web sites with china fake news and anti-western blab.
The ''wu mao' refers to the half a chinese dollar (5 mao) each published 'opinion' gets for the author. It's a way to make a living in china.
Did you get you 5 mao today?

Um? Where is Green Plus Mall 3 coz gooful maps don't show it.
Not real important to me, i've got a 10 yr china visa. But, anyway, i'm not keen on going there these days.
About the only good thing in china is the huge number of nubile hoes. That and the 'ma po dou <deleted>'.

Just now read up on cardura. Lots of side effects, none good. Esp not advised in hot weather, so use caution in April.

Darwin created us to compete with the beetles.
Makes sense to me.
In fact, we may be winning. At least the chinese are far ahead.

Catlin, Kapur and Tangkamolprasert finish at -11 and after one playoff hole, 2 made bogey and Catlin made par.
A winner. Total purse US$300,000 so a nice payoff for the young American.
Congrats.

Pulling for a good finish by John Catlin. I watched this American win the CM Open in 2018 and was impressed by his play and demeanor. From what i know he is based in Bangkok and plays worldwide.

Any application deadline? I'm out of town for a few weeks.

Many folks have been hoodwinked and duped by bogus foods, including honey which turned out to be 87% white sugar; stuffed pork buns which were made of back-room processed cardboard; red wine highly adulterated with chemicals and containing only 13% grape but 12% alcohol; and very well known super-virginal olive oil, mostly soy bean oil but even the gourmet testers were fooled.
And no olive oil is grown in Thailand so all must be imported, adding to cost and probability of cheating. I suggest rice bran oil or peanut oil for all your needs, except gear lube. And, as an aside, i have found coconut oil best for sex lubrication and i will never use that crappy KY jelly stuff again.

I am not interested in the relocation of the zoo. Plz don't address that well known fact.
What i do want to know is WHY the zoo was forced to close after 81 years at the same location and the zoo director would not say why the zoo closed.
What i have learnt is that perhaps some unseen and opaque Thai force remains in power and operates at will, with no regard for the desires, or needs, of the people.
Obviously some hidden reason exists, or we would know the truth.

Lanna is the place to go. Big driving range, probably clubs for hire at golf shops, certainly hire clubs offered at Green Fee desk, three 9 hole layouts, and generally not crowded in afternoon. Can take the bus up the highway only 3km from town.
For hackers, the very best.

Went to Bangkok for a holiday, even hoping to see the zoo. Found it closed since earlier in the year.
Have asked a few folks why the zoo closed and got no reasonable response. Most simply said 'zoo authorities closed the zoo, sent all the animals to various domestic zoos'.
I mean WHY DID THE AUTHORITIES CLOSE THE ZOO?
Can anyone answer or is this a secret?

Most of those fancy drinks are loaded with sugar and some fat. A morning drink at 380 calories? Soon you might look like the average obese guy, of any nation.
But figure out for yourself

Plz you corporate haters, spare us your hate of things American. My advice: do not go to Starbux, except in an emergency.

There will be no structural engineer on my job, so it sounds like i will shop at CPAC and order 'steng 200' for my slab. Should any slab piers be stronger steng?
-
Sorry, can't reply. Too many abbreviations for me to figure out what you want/need.
Me? I have the USA SocSecAdmin send my monthly payment to my USA bank. Then, when i need that $$ i have my USA bank transfer some cash to my Bangkok Bank account in NYC. After a few days and dollars the Bangkok bank informs me that money has arrived and is now in my Thailand account.
But unlike many USA folks here, i do not need that money to support monthly retirement extension claims.
-
Good info here, thnx.
I'm not too familiar with concrete requirements for a house slab but have read that many Thais use poor technique or low quality concrete resulting in slab cracks, settling and wall cracks. Those i must avoid so if i order mPa 30 will that give me more protection against failure? Or maybe i should make the slab thicker, or use a better sub-layer of ??rocks??. Well, lots of Qs but figure it's a 'one-time' shot, so make it the best possible.
Found this:
https://www.nrmca.org/aboutconcrete/cips/35pr.pdf
Which tells me more, but no mention of cost increase when mPa increases. How much more expensive is 25 mPa compared to 20 mPa, same volume? And any negative features of higher compressive strength concrete?
-
So is 20 MPA = 20 mPa (megaPascals)? And is that considered 'strong' or average?
If i'm doing the ordering and i am not a structural engineer, what do i tell the CPAC desk? No soup, but strong plz?

How many folks reading this story are rich Thai women? How on earth can farangs, male or female, draw any lesson from these sad events?

I see many cement trucks in the city and countryside, some small but some very big. All with rotating tub on back, full of cement.
But is all that cement the same stuff? Could i order a better grade, or cement for roadway not walls, etc?
What I'm needing to know is can i get better quality cement, if any exists, from common cement vendors? And, if you know, how much more expensive is the better stuff?
thnx.

thanks, but estimate nearest 7/11 is 40 km down the road! in the dark, with old car. will bring 9 bottles.

Must donate some cash to couple, but how much? And what colour envelope to stuff the cash into?
Was told to bring whatever i like to drink and share around. That would be 6 large Tiger beers. I might drink 2/3, if night is long.
This 'wedding' out in the countryside, ever so close to Burma so i've no idea what to expect.
Should i care about anything but the cash and beer?

My advice: use the cold water. You will gain some acceptance of life.

Christmas Dinner
in Chiang Mai
Posted
Plz tell us more about McDonald's Christmas special. I know that meal will be very fresh and delicious.
And well below the 500 baht offered by some for less.
