  1. Zenni optical online, $60 (Inc delivery )for progressive lens in titanium frames. Arrive in 10-14 days. Or you can pay 8,000bht in a local shop.
  2. Cooler in Chiang Mai as well, afternoon barely making 35c, and all the pollution gone.
  3. Only 10bh/gm for outdoor. I paid 300bht for this 30gm bag.
  4. Why not just buy another 5kw hybrid and run upstairs on one, and downstairs on the other. Then no worries about different strings on different PV voltages
  5. My 12yo son is as white as can be, with reddish brown hair. Thai people all assumed his Thai mom was the nanny for a western couple. Type O blood, same as me.
  6. Yeah, I managed 3 nights at the family home of 2 different women, and that was hard. Won't even go for 1 night now, she can visit her relly's alone.
  7. Most of the boats have toilets that flush straight onto the coral.
  8. Most places provide suitable clothing ........ usually what looks to me like a karate/judo outfit.
  9. VISA valid until end date, extension valid until reason for extension ends or end date if first.
  10. Would point out 66% of the Thai population don't speak Central Thai as a first language. https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/what-language-is-spoken-in-thailand#:~:text=Thai is the official language,51 of which are indigenous.
  11. I like the PI, been all over SEA and China, can't say I've seen one place that wasn't 'grungy'. It's what Asia does! Compared to the way I would be living now if back in the UK, and was previously living as a middle class white guy, all paradise. PI has particularly nice beaches compared to Thailand, and much cheaper alcohol. Not to mention almost everyone in PI speaks English.
  12. 30bht on the Green San Sai songtaw from the fruit market by the river, up past the bus station through San Sai Noi then on to MaeJo.
  13. Z Library is much better ............ Currently reading 'the Gray Man' thriller series by Matt Greaney Thanks Tim, I'll give The Wager a look.
  14. I have solar electricity ....... fans on cost me nothing. I just felt it was important to become acclimatised to the area/climate in which I live, so I don't use air-con if it's under 36c. I understand a lot of people get used to air-con 24/7, but it's just making you uncomfortable in the long run. My electricity bill is always 200-300bht/month for my 3 bedroom house.
  15. I'm actually fine here, just turned a fan on for the first time today 32c, not too bad at all.
  16. You can't be a blood donor in Thailand if you're over 60yo!
  17. You might be, but I wasn't! Old guys over 65 living in a tropical climate with enough money for beer and a shag are lifes winners. Lets face facts, you only post in this forum to call other white guys losers, where I only see successful retirees....... always look on the bright side of life!
  18. The air pollution has almost gone now. A couple more days of rain and that will be it until next year.
  19. Can't say hospital care is on my list of important life considerations. If it were, I'd still be living in the UK. I'm more interested in unlimited access to sex, alcohol and drugs. Which is why I'm living in Thailand.
  20. The male genetic imperative is to dump your load in as many different women as possible. Pattaya allows men that ability. (Doesn't count if you've had the snip or use condoms)
  21. What makes an alpha is the ability to fight and defeat all others and instill fear in the other males. Equality, fairness, caring is for soft lads who'll never have sex with anyone.
  22. Sounds great, my retired pals back in the UK can't afford to go to bars, and spend all day sitting alone in their shed on allotments. Maybe it's different for old guys in California.
