  1. Membership numbers is the gain. Forum with millions of posters is worth millions of Baht. Forum with 100 posters is worth nothing.
  2. Change you name to 'somebody', then they'll need to change the notifications again.
  3. Wasn't that hot in Chiang Mai this year, about normal IMHO. Only turned aircon on once. My Electricity bill for July = 43 units 176bht.
  4. 80% of Thai people don't pay income tax. Everyone in Thailand pays VAT on purchases. What taxes were you thinking of?
  5. My UK state pension brings in 10,500GBP/year (40kbht/month). Don't know why you say it's worth <deleted>.
  6. Doesn't block, it just turns them off, and you can just switch wifi back on.
  7. All the bars I drink in have prices advertised on the wall.
  8. But the Thai price isn't for locals, it's for all Thais. In Chiang Mai I'm a local and a Thai from Bangkok isn't.
  9. Name one of those countries? Mauritius is the only one I can think of.
  10. They sell Blue Fire @ 2,500bht for 50g OG BKK sell Blue Fire popcorn @ 1,000bht for 50g
  11. My advice is the same as my last advice. Stop chatting to the locals, they know nothing about anything and left school age 12.
  12. I only watched it 'cos my cousin reportedly banged Claudia Cardinale, then allegedly hurt his ankles jumping out of her bedroom window when her bf returned unexpectedly at that time. The best bit about the movie was her sweating a lot. How the west was won, The Searchers, Wild Bunch, Unforgiven, Outlaw Josey Wales, the Hunting party, Ballard of Cable Hogue and many others all far better.
  13. Watched 'Lioness' (2 eps) and enjoyed it despite bad reviews and unrealistic portrayals of women in the military. Watched 'Justified' (2 eps) and also enjoyed it.
  14. Woke new age snake oil. Meditation, vegan, massage, yoga, homeopathy, natural food supplements. I avoid anywhere advertising wellness.
  15. IPCC report AR6 (2022) doesn't seem that alarming. No dire predictions at all.
  16. Found them! How many would you like to see? Letter to Pres Nixon from 42 investigators ....... Bit fuzzy so text here https://www.thestreet.com/economonitor/us/an-important-letter-sent-to-the-president-about-the-danger-of-climate-change Confirmed by satellites .......... Backed up by American scientists ......... The link I gave at the top had links to nearly 47 pages on scientific cooling/warming predictions in the past 150 years ..... nearly all the Ice age predictions have had their pages deleted in a fairly thorough rewriting of the history of climate change science.
  17. Welfare, free health care, state pensions are all left wing. Unless they remove these, the government is left wing.
  18. Most drownings happen between age 1 and 4, so learning to swim not really applicable. Twice as many men can swim than women, yet most adult drownings are men. I'm not convinced learning to swim makes that much difference. Swimmers put themselves in more danger than those sitting on the side watching. Avoiding all water is safer than learning to swim, if you ain't in it, you can't drown in it.
  19. I'd say Anyone with a shred of common sense. Anyone that wants a modicum of personal choices. Anyone that believes in freedom. Anyone that wants a reliable grid.
  20. Did you forget he used violence to overthrow the previous democratically elected government?
  21. You are selling electricity back to the PEA, or are trying to sell? The PEA don't want to buy your electricity, usually they just give their customers the run around.
