  1. Yet they go straight into a packed restaurant and they are straight off with the masks????
  2. Ever tried this? https://www.facebook.com/Bestcountrybeefofficial
  3. This isn't comparable. Australia wants to remain disease free (as far as possible). Hence it is for environmental reasons. Thailand has just about every disease under the sun. In the OPs case, it is purely to protect local fruit growing industries.
  4. cvt is about 15.5 sec for 0-100 and 80-120 is 12.37 sec. Dont know the quarter mile time. MT is 13 sec 0-100, 9.7 sec 80-120 (about the same as the current swift cvt) source: headlightmag.com
  5. I don't think they were testing the battery integrity in these tests. Was the electrical system actually running in these tests? Probably not. It would be intersting to know if these tests damaged the battery (I would expect the side imact tests would). Much less severe impacts in real life have damaged this battery beyond repair. A fire would be rare but would write the vehicle off.
  6. And stupid to rent bikes to people without a bike licence from their home country. Twits...
  7. Your results are on the low side, but are fine. My wife has similar blood pressure readings. I wish mine were as low as this! As your pressures are on the low side, don't expect too much variation. My pressures are higher and I get more variation than this. The only thing to be aware of is that your left and right arm measurements are not widely different, but yours look fine.
  8. Michelin suv+ are also available in your quoted size. I don't think you will get more comfortable and quiet than that. I've heard good things about profender. They have a number of different applications.
  9. If a Thai wants to attack you, it will often be done by multiple perpetrators. They rarely fight one-on-one. I doubt self defence classes would have any real value here.
  10. Chinese EV's are likely to dominate for the forseeable future. I read an article today stating that there is likely to be a lithium shortage in Europe that will slow production of cars from there. China doesn't have this problem..yet.
  11. You think 2006 is worse that 2023? At least that damned rail link on Changwattana may get finished. It's been over 5 years and it barely gets worked on. Ans I don't know ne of the last 5 years on ym gaduating students who would vote for Prayut. He's dead in the water, and rightly so.
  12. But that doesn't fix the overall problem. As soon as as the wind changes, the pollution changes. In theory, you could reduce pollution in Thailang by drastically reducing burning, but that's just a theory and I highly doubt anything will happen. Poor people who must work outside suffer the most. But it is not poor people making policy decisions on this (from their air filtered air conditioned rooms).
  13. In some areas it maxxed out at 500. I think that must be the limit of their pollution meters. That's horrendous and I expect a lot of people to be attending hospitals there with respiratory issues. PM 2.5 is very dangerous at these concentrations and can cause chronic illness.
  14. And buring in Laos and Cambodia? It's everywhere throughout the region. Much of the current burning in the north appears to come from Laos. Current pm2.5 map:
  15. The password can be "saved". That is given as an option, at least when you first type it in (on a computer). Not sure about on the mobile app.
  16. You can get health cover if you work at private school. It's possible, but the school has to want to do it (there is no law stating it must be done). Some teachers at my school recently got their health cover card (they need to selevt their chosen hospital from a list (some on the list were private hospitals as well). I opted out as I have better government cover via my wife (CSMBS - can use any government hospital). Not it took 20 years for the school to provide this (we have had accident cover for quite some time though).
  17. Yes the swift has a timing chain. No need to change it as one would do with a belt.
  18. For all intents and purposes, the pandemic is over in Thailand. I have noticed a small but significant decrease in masking in bKK shopping centers. Virtually noone is wearing maskes in tourist areas, without any problem evident. I haven't worn one in months, and am not wearing one while teaching now. Virtually all other asian/Thai teachers and students wear them in the classroom though. Peer group pressure seems to apply to both adults and children here alike. They are at more rish from pm2.5 pollution than anything else. They should buy masks that suit this purpose when outside.
  19. Of course. But they don't want interlopers adding to their workload. Can't blame them really.
  20. The city turbo is 1.0 3 cylinder....mileage woulf be 19km/l not 19l/km ????
