I'd perhaps consider something less aggressive to massage the back with... HomePro has wide selection... https://www.homepro.co.th/c/OUT0703

And there was me thinking that there were other reasons for the giant deception. Leap-frog the Ruskies. Distraction from the atrocities in Vietnam. Among others. 'reasons for the giant deception'.... hmmm.... The 'space race' was all about leap frogging the Russians.... after which we also discovered there was little economic benefit to going to the moon - thus, after the 6 missions (with 12 men walking on the moon) funding for moon missions was removed. The reason mankind has not been back to the Moon is extremely simple - cost.

Perhaps weight is not the issue but packaging size. Here are two examples of a 2 man tent and the packed away size (both weigh 3 kgs).

Apollo astronauts wore A7-L spacesuits which used a combination of insulation, reflective surfaces, and an ice sublimator to regulate temperature and was / is capable of protecting the astronaut from temperatures ranging from −156 °C to 121 °C. When the astronauts returned to the lunar module their suits were covered in the dust which is potentially hazardous as its made of of silicon dioxide (very fine glass fibres), fortunately the 'dust' is electronically charged and stuck to things (the suits) rather than bellow off the suits in clouds (of dust) which could be inhaled. There is no mystery... or rather, the only mystery is if you believe in a conspiracy. Nasa admits that some 200,000 tapes were degaussed (magnetically erased) and to be re-used to save money. There is still plenty of 'tape' evidence from the lunar surface. Why go again ??... for what purpose. Extreme cost for what benefit ? - the 'space race' is over, which was the original reason. Now government agencies can send craft to these area's without risking human life - this is exampled by India's landing on the 'dark side' of he moon.

Incredible... Please advise where we can buy these self ironed quality clothes.... The maid thanks you in advance !!!!

This... We have used 3rd party repair men before and for the most part they are chancers trying to wing-it - on a rare occasion we may get someone who actually knows what they are doing - I don't bother going 'local repair guy anymore'. The repairmen direct from the vendor (Electrolux) have always been excellent - its easy enough to call up electrolux and make an appointment - a guy will usually rock-up within a day or two. (the same for AC with Samsung). Costs vary of course, depending on what is repaired / replaced. Our last Tumble Drier repair cost about 2500 baht - with a replaced bearing and drive belt. I'm not sure if that price is good or not, our drier is older than 10 years, it still runs well and has only required a couple of repairs. A replacement new one would cost about 15,000 to 20,000 baht - the next time something 'big' goes on it, it may be time to get a new one.

You can't go too far wrong looking at Decathlon... https://www.decathlon.co.th/en/p/8357352/camping-tents/2-man-pop-up-tent-2-seconds-fb The same items are more expensive in Australia (so if you dont mind carrying the tent....)...

Alien's have far more interest in the USA than other area's... 92% of the worlds reported Alien sightings are in the USA.... so, for some reasons either Aliens visit the USA more than any other place has a higher proportion of conspiracists and nut-jobs than other areas... AND... why the anal probing ??? https://studyfinds.org/aliens-ufo-sightings-united-states/

There is video - your 2x playback argument is just flawed. Faster footage speed does not explain the clearly displayed effect of gravity. There are also artefacts brought back from the Moon - Basalt that has not been oxidised, the moon basalt (382kgs from 6 missions) is also different in chemical makeup (I wouldn't expect laymen conspiracists to understand this). There is plenty of evidence - the theories of the conspiracy theorists are far more readily debunked than the fact that the moon was visited by humans numerous times. The Lunar Laser Retro-Reflector is clear evidence. And, no, there is plenty of evidence out there, but conspiracists attempt to debunk all the information with semi-feasible sounding argument which is ultimately flawed or deliberately (conveniently) ignores facts. Creating the global belief that we went to the moon is actually a lot more difficult than actually, going to the moon !!!... The conspiracy more difficult than reality in this case - 400,000 people would need to be all in on the same lie. Then there is of course the Mark Twain argument... 'never argue with an idiot', this is why Nasa doesn't get seriously involved in arguing against conspiracists - why should Nasa stoop to such levels and accommodate the conspiracy theories? - Conspiracists who have made up their mind are simply a waste of time.

I think it simply comes down to the influence of education, or, in this case [that the moon landings are a conspiracy] a lack there of...

And.... Honda has announced these models... which also look quite interesting (if they are selling them in Thailand) As they are 'Honda' I'm assuming we can expect a certain level of quality. https://autostation.com/motorbike/new-motorbike-international/honda-electrifies-cub-dax-and-zoomer-classic-mopeds-for-chinese-buyers/

Also this one looks interesting... Has a bit more character that the plastic scoopy looking offerings.

These interest me... something to use on the sub-soi's. https://velociferostore.com/ https://www.facebook.com/deveradose/?locale=th_TH

Could almost be worth a coffee tour !!

This has to be a troll surely !!! Adventurer1 clearly knows how divisive opinions about Starbucks can be. Their coffee is fine, it’s no the best by a long shot. Any mass market coffee shop is naturally going to devolve in quality to average - nothing wrong with that, it’s just business. A quality barista with reasonable coffee is always going to pull a better shot than Bob or Lek with minimal training & great coffee.

Thai, as always? You really think that the rest of the worlds news outlets never get it wrong? Anyone who reads the news articles often published on here is very familiar with the absence of information, inaccuracies and flaws in the reporting... Contrary to your implication, that doesn't mean it was suggested that flaws do not exist elsewhere, just that 'as always' the Thai news gets it wrong again...

Old news. You should read the posts above you. And should read the add on comment which follows the context of the 'latests news'... Next chapter in this ??? Will he need 24 hour medical care that can only be provided at home... ???

Indeed.... Is there any accident in Thailand where the Thai person at fault puts up their hands any states that they made a mistake ?? ... They ALWAYS blame something else... something inanimate... the response is always outrageously juvenile, the people involved in these incidents have the minds of children.

Wrong title Again... (corrected below)... School bus driver crashes school bus into paddy field in Ubon Ratchathani

Latest news is that he has received clemency, his sentence is reduced to 1 year, which due to health concerns is likley to be 'hospital'.... So... next chapter in this ??? Will he needs 24 hour medical care that can only be provided at home... ???

Now that is delusional.... Stereotypes originate from observation. As they are stereotypes they are not applicable to every individual, however, they are applicable in aggregate. It is obvious by this stage that it is you who is delusional and want your belief that Covid is still a major world wide issue to be true.

Agreed... I'm highlighting the 'trigger point'... which was not outlined in the article posted on this forum, but on the linked article. I agree, particularly as the child as eight yrs old. I perhaps over egged my comment earlier trying to seek understanding as to what may trigger someone to such extreme actions. Bullying does not demand such an excessive and barbaric response. Nevertheless, I can understand that as bullying occurred, that 'some' response was called for (just not anything close to extreme as this).

A human life wasn't taken. It was assault which could possibly be stretched to attempted murder.

Agreed.... it seems there are a couple of reporters at the 'Thaiger' who's primary goal is to generate a pathetic play on words for headlines which completely ignore any standards of taste and throws empathy, consideration and common decency out of the window.

Surely the boy would have been in hospital yet he was in an accident????? Erm... no.... just one accident, after which he was in hospital for six days, then died. As is so common with the articles we read here, the standards of reporting are atrocious...
