  1. It is very difficult to eat out in Thailand without getting some sugar. Thai's love sweet stuff. I have cut way back on eating rice, bread, potatoes, sugar, etc.. (also do intermittent fasting). I wouldn't say I am on a strict Keto diet. Before I was taking 1000Mg of metformim a day and my A1C was around 6.2 to 6.5. After a couple of months on the new diet and stopping all my medications my A1C is now 5.4.
  2. I mistakenly bought a whole house RO system. I used it for less than a month. To fill one tank of water you had to throw about 7 tanks of water down the drain.
  3. My Wife does LOL. My wife too. Way more than I would. But she lived in America for over 40 years too.
  4. He did post in the Chiang Mai forum though.
  5. I put some of the bird spikes on top of the beams in my carport. The birds do make nests in them. I need to put a ceiling on it to keep the birds from nesting/pooping over the cars.
  6. It seems they can't even afford a 10 baht bulb for their rear lights let alone a helmet.
  7. Taking probiotics can help. My wife has bad gerd. They helped her to be able to stop taking medication. You need stomache acid you shouldn't stop it. She also drinks curmamax as needed. You can find it on Lazada.
  8. Some Wats have markets. Close to shopping. Even if you don't live close to the wat lots of them put speakers a few kilometers away to make sure everyone knows something is going on at the wat. I don't mind the chanting. But when they are blaring music for festivals with overly distorted bass that rattles walls for kilometers around it gets really annoying.
  9. I wonder if the police checked when they had bought their alcohol?
  10. The free policy they give you with a new vehicle are the more expensive ones. Depending on the vehicle you get can cost you over 20K to renew the next year. The dealers have people that will call you when it is time to renew to sell you a new policy.
  11. His story does not make sense. He says the loan shark approached him but he was the one that went to the loan sharks house. Sounds pretty premeditated to me.
  12. Always have your finger on the trigger when unloading a gun. Safety first.
  13. My wife flew back into Thailand from the US on 8 Aug. She went to the Thai nationals lines but mistakenly handed them her US passport instead of Thai passport and the officer stamped her in with a 30 day visa exempt entry. So last weekend we flew to Laos with her exiting with her US passport and using her Thai passport the rest of the way. Upon reentry at Don Muang the officer was giving her some hassle for not having an exit stamp in her Thai passport. She explained what happened but the officer still seemed confused. Finally another officer(supervisor?) came over and said there was no problem with that. So she stamped my wifes Thai passport but put a little handwritten note below it that she had left using a US passport.
  14. The small town I live in the PEA office's sign says they have an EV charging station. Perhaps look and see if your local office has one too.
  15. I am seeing more people not masking where I live but I would still say it is around 80% that are. In Laos last weekend hardly anyone was wearing masks.
  16. check out the latest research on Taurine and also K2.
  17. Non O-A has the health insurance requirement too. Also the insurance requirements you listed in your original post are the old requirement. It is now 3 million baht policy with no mention of outpatient being required. This is a list of the companies you can use. You can select visa type at the top. Longstay health insurance Some people use LMG with the highest deductible to get a cheaper policy which basically covers you for nothing just to meet the requirement.
  18. I was wondering how they disquised the drugs as a tourist.
  19. So it is not to pay your yearly registration fee but just to reserve a 'lucky' license plate number when you purchase a vehicle.
