  1. "Hills" is not enough height I agree. You original post gives me the impression you are looking for somewhere else in Thailand - if that is true, then up the mountains you need to go!
  2. For the last two years the temperature here in April and May has been up to 45C So you have answered your own question - anywhere there are hills will be cooler and if you are in Northern Thailand you won't need to go far! Not all cities even capital ones are in valleys, Chiang Mai for example, right here in Thailand, is 1,000 feet above sea level.
  3. It is the hottest month of the year everywhere in Thailand. What will you do on Doi Inthanon for a month or more? I live in Northern Thailand and in February so far, nearly every day already 34C (air temperature) - and it is going to get even hotter and may last until October - yes, including the rainy season. Keep going North until you reach somewhere you like - you might need to go 10 degrees of latitude from where you are - that means another country.
  4. From my observations of food delivery folk, they go as fast as they can (dangerously so) and the shortest route. They are obviously paid according to the greater numbers of deliveries they make. No point in going the "long way round". The above points by others also explains deviations in route - to you.
  5. I am far too modest to delve too deep into this topic.
  6. My English wife of 47 years of our marriage, neither of whom controlled the other on any matter and in all that time we NEVER had a row! Before I married my current partner, I promised her I would never lie to her about anything. I also promised I would never tell her what to do and as long as she agreed to be of similar mind with me... We each consult the other on matters of importance, as in assumed responsibilities and irregular spending. When things go wrong because of forgetfulness rather than a bad attitude, the other will back up. We are each others main support system practically and emotionally. My wife and I treat each other as equals, believing in the principle that if both of us remain unselfish, then we end up getting what we want from giving rather than taking! Both of us told the other only yesterday that we are very happy together. Control yourself - manage others. Circumstances are bound to be different with many relationships that may determine the outcome of who might be said to be wearing the TROUSERS (I am an Englishman)
  7. Was he breathing heavy after 30 years? Did he ignore the canaries? Tis a long time that! Should have read the book, "Coming Up For Air", George Orwell!
  8. This item is in the Health Forum because it is hoped to encourage others towards good health and fitness On 1st January I received an invitation from my Health App to complete, either 100,000 – 200,000 or 300,000 steps for the entire month. They were graded as “Beginner”, “Intermediate” or “Professional” I chose Professional because that required me to walk on average 10,000 steps every day to reach my goal. For me it was easy, as I had already done 150 consecutive days average of around 15,000. Sara, my wife, was persuaded to join me at the Beginner challenge (100,000 steps) that required only 3,300 steps per day – her average was about 3,000 already. Both of us would be awarded a “medal” if we succeeded. By coincidence, our separate Apps showed we would reach our goal on 17 January, a full 14 days before the deadline. Sara had “workouts” that amounted to about 15 kms walking, while the remainder was in ordinary daily activities. I walked 129 kms (workouts) in that time as well as my own moving about all day, inning and outing, upping and downing. And for good measure, I will go through 1,000 kms by month end in walking workouts over the last 5 months.
  9. The rampant corruption, caused in part, by a totally inadequate wage structure that needs supplementation by donations from motorists. It's mainly greedy people who are corrupt, not the poor!
  10. That doesn't mean it is or not required. I have my passport with me on domestic flights but my driving license offered has always been accepted. If the driving license IS accepted that won't tell Immigration about overstay!
  11. I am just as unaffected personally with this article as I was when it was announced 18 months ago as legal. I don't wish business failure on anybody arising from what appears to be a Government UTurn. These Investors were entitled to start a legitimate business based on earlier solid indications of new markets and new level of acceptance. Irrespective of the whys and wherefore of cannabis use, this situation now unfolding doesn't show the Government in a very favourable light, either here or abroad, and I would understand if many people and Business Owners protest angrily!
  12. Question is easy! Only in the minds of the gullible! Non-existent!
  13. I had a g/f who called an ice cream sandwich a "snake" .
  14. The Abbot speculated... What nonsense - so much for the "wisdom" of Buddhism!!
  15. This is what I call a songthaew! My Thai wife calls it a tuk tuk The photo in the Article is also called a songthaew - Seems to depend on where you live. Might just as well call a spade a spade - or a shovel! And the nerve to call them any of them "taxis" is laughable!
  16. An irony here is that all Drivers on the road are pedestrians when they NOT driving!
  17. Bar girls don't need energy - they just lie down, close their eyes and think of their King and Thailand!
  18. Interesting story that after only 6 months he has made that much and saved it, as well as buying new stock and normal daily living expenses. About a year ago, I decided I would keep all new Rubber B20's I received in change and put them away, Last week (I don't go looking for them), I counted them and had B4,300. I didn't miss the money; that now gives me a feeling of having about B4,300 more than I thought.
  19. Did he really need a written script to say that?
