  1. ardor n. (passion, fervor) อารมณ์ที่รุนแรง aa-rom-tîi-run-rɛɛng

  2. Back up a minute. You arrive in Thailand with an O-A visa. Then you move into a place to live. Once you have an address you need to supply Immigration with a TM28, Change of Address or Notification of Stay. This serves as your "first" 90-day report. Then (as I recall) you will get a slip of paper in your passport acknowledging receipt and giving you the date of your next 90-day report.

  3. 1. Counting the 3 children as one adult, the total comes to about 460 baht per person. More than I spend for lunch but not outrageous.

    2. If you want to eat cheaply, eat vegetarian or eat animals that can be seen and counted, like chickens and pigs. Seafood is expensive because we have already killed most of it.

    3. I was surprised to see that the "authorities" have some say in food pricing. Nothing good can come of that.

    Let´s have a Water Quality check at all beaches and pools in Thailand, like they have in most civilized countries.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Hin_District#EnvironmentThe quality of the waters of the Gulf of Thailand off central Hua Hin were rated "fair" in 2015 by the Pollution Control Department. But, the report noted that "...the main tourism areas, namely Cha–Am Beach, ... and Hua Hin Beach, ... should be consistently monitored, since enterococci [fecal] bacteria levels exceeded the standard...."

    So what is the problem here ? Wow the farangs having a problem they can't buy/ drink alcohol bc they don't want to pay respect for the Late King Bhumibol. Dombo's......

    I think you miss the larger issue. For many of us, bars are our social clubs. There we meet friends, play pool, watch sports, practice our Thai, etc. Many of us don't drink. When sales are forbidden, the bars are shut. A one-day shutdown is no big deal, but it is an irritant. 

  6. There are a couple more I know of but they are hard to find and not esp cheap: one in a restaurant on the HH train station roundabout. Another in a small shop in the rear of the  Grand Night Market (mkt closed Tu).
