Install Dashcam
Amnuay Motor Air 2 just off the superhighway will do it for you but I've no idea how much they charge just for installation. I recently purchased a mirror dash camera there and installation was "included" in the price. Also, there is a girl who works there who speaks fluent English. I believe she is the daughter of the owner. You could send them a message on Google maps to inquire about their installation costs. The responded promptly to my inquirys recently.

Fatal Accident in Chiang Mai Claims Five Lives Including Pregnant Woman
No that can't possibly be true because the driver is never at fault. The official investigation will be based solely on how much money changes hand.

When the well runs dry
Who's Evian and is she available for hire? Joking aside, Evian is naive spelt backwards which pretty much sums up the people who buy it.

That heatwave isn't normal
I've lived outside of Chiang Mai for 15 years now. Pretty much every one of those years has had a 6-8 week period between the end of March and the middle of May where the temperatures have regularly hit 40+C. But is it a hotter than previous years? Perhaps a little but in my opinion not enough to constantly moan about it. It's called the hot season for a reason. Something that you just have to endure every year. Soon the summer storms will kick in causing wide spread destruction, flooding and potential injuries. So out of the frying pan, into the fire...

Retrieve data from broken phone?
You should be able to "clone" a new Android phone from your Google account. It should then precede to download all apps from your account along with passwords and login details onto the new phone. It may take awhile so be patient.

Wise. I tried to use Wise today .
I transferred some money from the UK earlier today using Wise and it went through as normal in seconds. I'm slightly confused about why you would be sent an SMS. That has never been any part of the process that I've come across when using Wise.

Do you drive wifey around on motorbike with side cart (saleng) ?
My wife owns one, as does pretty much everybody else that lives out in the country. It's her go to vehicle when she goes off down the dirt tracks and across the fields foraging. And yes, I have been on it as a passenger on short trips around the village. I've never driven it myself but then again I've never ridden any kind of motorcycle. And I never will.

This heat is brutal and my Electricity bill is also brutal.....
We have a well maintained 12000 BTU inverter air conditioner in our bedroom. The room is 16 square meters. It is set to 25°C and runs every night from about 7:00pm to 5:30am. Our electric bill in April was 1,186 baht. If my wife didn't use the well pump to water her longan orchard our bill would have been under 1000 baht. I'm estimating that May's bill may be a little higher but not by much more than say 200 baht. What I will say is we live out in the sticks so we pay the standard PEA rate. We don't get ripped off by some unscrupulous condo landlord.

Elderly Swiss man in coma after scooter struck by car in Pattaya – VIDEO
The other car had already stopped so I'm presuming that the driver of the white SUV didn't have right of way and should also have stopped. If that is the case he should be held accountable.... However, in Thailand whether you have right of way or not you should always approach any intersection with extreme caution. The elderly Swiss guy clearly didn't do that.

Swiss tourist saved from the heat as survey shows 72.6% of Thai people worry about weather
Alcohol, including beer dehydrates you. It has the complete opposite affect to drinking good old H2O.

If you are lonely and desperate why not find a gf at the local hardware store?
Are you suggesting that if you walk into a hardware store and say to a female assistant "I need a screw, can you help?" you wlll get more than you bargained for? And what happens if you ask for wood...

Fighting overweight and obesity
Exercise is total BS? In about a year I went from 83 kilos to 70 kilos purely by walking a minimum of 10,000 steps everyday. In all that time I have never changed my diet simply because it was fairly healthy anyway. It was just that as I got older my metabolism slowed down and before I knew where I was I was sporting a paunch. By walking I can allow myself to consume naughty things such as beer, in moderation when ever I please. I have never counted calories. What I will say is, joining expensive gyms is really rather pointless, unless for some reason you want to be a meatheaded, muscle bound superhero wannabe.

Thailand braces for summer storm in 60 provinces
I agree to a point. These summer storms can be extremely destructive and can cause widespread damage to people's property and lively hoods. Bring on the rain yes, but not the gale force winds and lightning.

Thai Officials Announce "Innovative" Expat Health Measure
A couple of posters including with myself suggested that this was an April fool's joke very early on after this topic was first published. However, our posts were mysteriously removed...thus proving hands down it was all a wind up.

Age-old Question: Would you rather have been born a girl?
It's no longer that simple. There are now officially 72 genders amongst the world's human population. Personally, and I know that in this day and age that this is incredibley boring but I 100% identify as a man. And because of this I like actual 100% proper ladies. Sooooo....in answer to the OP's question, no I couldn't imagine or indeed want to be anything other than a proper bloke.

So that's were all the Hot women hang out!
Exactly what sort of workout did you have in mind when you joined? Because it might be more of a walk out than a workout once they get to know you.

Chiang Mai Immigration Requiring Your Monthly Income?
The OP clearly states that his agent had requested this, not CM immigration directly. If this was an actual new requirement at CM immigration then there would be numerous reports of this from expats who have renewed their extensions recently. Particularly those who don't use agents. I live in Chiang Mai and I've not heard anything relating to this, not even on the Chiang Mai Facebook expats page. Personally, I think that the OP's agent is just fishing for information. Trying to find out how much money their clients are bringing into the country each month. And using immigration as an excuse to ask personal money related questions. They are probably looking partnering up with a financial advisor and moving into the taxation game. We all know this is going to happen.

Foreigners Assault Phuket Policeman After Being Chased Over Traffic Violation
Non because in the real world, away from the drunken expat bar stool talk things are very different. They can't and never will refuse someone's extension of stay based purely on what other people are doing.

Where, in CM, can I buy many more pots like this one?
Baan Tawai village? Particularly the road leading towards it.
