Maybe the Health Ministry should take the 300 baht entry fee from russians and require them to take an etiquette Course prior to arrival.

Loved my Acer Swift, but too expensive I figure these days. Using an Acer Aspire 1/3 the price, Not any great HD but dam good. Starts in less than 1 minute which I love. wish I had one without the Thai/English keyboard.

You may opt for Colon Candling instead.

Ear Candling is witchcraft. Get it irrigated.

Its not just they ruined the beach in the day times but they covered the beach with those heavy duty floodlights....The same kind they use in prison yards....To say these lights are a ambiance killer is a understatement..

 

The very very very very best time at the beach is just as the sun is setting and before the bloody floodlights kick in.....Maybe 30 minutes a day....

A few comments in my ignorance. VPN?

Most russians have to first get paid in BTC, than exchange it to USD and the exchange it to THB.

Is this correct?

If so its a good thing.

Three days in hospital? Its not heat exhaustion, its very serious heat stroke. I doubt most of us would be here if Air Con had never been invented.

This is why it's crucial to choose a refrigerator freezer with extremely good insulation. 

 

The Hitachi refrigerator has excellent installation characteristics. 

 

But the new Samsung machine, which is double door, same as the Hitachi, seems to lack the same highly effective insulting characteristics of the more expensive machine. 

 

If this is true, then the Samsung machine will cost more, in the long run, due to higher consumption of electrical power. 

 

I like Samsung solid-state memory storage and Samsung phones. 

 

But I always think I a crazy if/when I buy Samsung appliances. 

 

 

Dude, same for me, my refrigerator is always insulting me.

Best to the elderly woman, but I have a hard time swallowing the age number. So many here have no idea how old they are or when they were born. So I do not believe the Post.

My March and April bills were nearly identical. It's the air conditioners working harder that ramps up bills. My hours of usage haven't changed. Setting them 1 or 2C higher when it's hotter outside is not a bad idea. It's comfortable enough and cuts back on power usage.

 

For Pattaya residents - the sun is directly overhead today (April 24) at 12:21, so it's theoretically the hottest day of the year. For Bangkok, it's on April 26. It happens again on August 19 in Pattaya and August 16 in Bangkok.

Add in, most folks are running with very short fuses. For me, the pool is too hot, and I can only get a short walk in early before I start sweating like a pig. Consider, a few weeks ago here we had a short pretty good rain. It cooled it down from 40c to 26c very quickly. Now back to unbearable, every dam day.

why do u think Russians are un educated ?

They are intelligent and very well educated in biology and math. I have met some wonderful folks from there, but dam its only such a small number. Seems like when they get loose they kind of go nuts. And maybe the runaways we deal with here are not the cream of the crop.

Arrive as a wealthy guy and leave broke.

with the general increase in wealth in the  village over the last 12  years when it went from tin shacks to concrete  houses, then they all started putting in aircon.............but they forgot one vital thing....... no insulation, poorly  fitting  doors  windows so they waste so much energy its unbelievable.

I built with double  block  walls with air  gap and 4  inch insuolation over  all ceilings, all windows air  tight you  have a job opening the doors  into rooms.

With all that I have a small house 50m2 one 12k aircon bill is 1680 in hot season on 24/7 set at 26c..........note many Thais seem to prefer 16-18c crazy.

If i did it  again I would  install  solar but now cant be arsed .

So true, they waste so many things here, from food to electric to water etc. I would guess 30% of the rice produced here is thrown away after meals.

Leave a building on a sweltering hot day and don't close the door. How many time I have walked over somewhere sitting in a bank or somewhere and repeatedly closed the door.

My condo looks great but don't look any closer than that. Every moving part, joint, socket and pipe is very poor quality. And I mean everything. Never ends, leaking this bad seals doors that don't fit, hinges that are of such poor quality they would never be sold in most countries. But its all looks good, that's all that matters.

Considering Thai's only look one way before crossing a road....well

Its already a special administrative zone. Oblast Moscow.

is this news?

We wait and see.

The civil engineering aspect of the project is slated for completion within four years, with the electric rail system construction estimated to take an additional five and a half years. The anticipated operation commencement for the train service is set for 2031.

 

Keeping in mind they have not started yet and it is now 2024, how does 4+5.5 years = 2031 ?

Skip the Italics next time please. Unreadable

The second bank transfer has been received.
