  1. When I lived in Loei, a woman down the street would sit on her front porch topless during hot weather. ... That was in 1978 and she was probably 75 years old.
  2. Here you go, some tips for getting around quickly if you want to be at the head of the pack. Not sure if it scales down to 125/150 cc bikes or not.
  3. I guess one of those would be OK, IF you lived where there were lots of Chinese replacement parts and mechanics who would replace them for virtually nothing. Buy two and rotate them to the shop every other month. There may be certain models of certain brands that are generally OK, but you need to know before you spend $$$.
  4. In my case I had an aortic aneurism about 10 years ago. Would have killed me if I hadn't had it operated on. Since it runs in the family, my Mother paid for my brother and I to get an ultrasound screening. Sure enough I had a pretty big one. They can rupture and kill you in minutes. They are usually asymptomatic until they get really big or rupture.
  5. There's a song about that. Priceless.
  6. Let me guess ... "Evening in a Cat House" ? (My uncle used to say he used Evening in a Barn Yard aftershave.)
  7. My wife's siblings have done well for the most part, but they work at it. A couple are/were self-employed. My younger bro-in-law had a little motorcycle repair shop. We got him into the U.S. where for years he was a cook at a Thai restaurant. Last year he wandered into a Honda motorcycle dealership and walked out with a job. He's now their most experienced mechanic except for the computer diagnostics. (Disclaimer: I don't get paid for this endorsement. But he does fix our cars, mows the lawn, cleans the gutters, rakes leaves and trims trees for free. Nice "kid" - I've known him since he was about 12 years old. )
  8. My wife grew up in Loei. She's been told by a Lao lady that she speaks with a Luang Prabang accent, as does her friend from Petchabun. Apparently there are a couple different Lao accents in Loei. Maybe ages ago people got drunk up in Luang Prabang, fell into the Mekong and washed up on the bank in Loei where the river turns east.
  9. All I have is a lowly iPhone 6s+. And it's a free hand-me-down from my wife's niece who had to have something newer and fancier. Oh, the shame. I'm the third owner of my iPad Air 2 which is an upgrade from an even older one ... I was the 4th owner of that one.
  10. Yes, he had humble beginnings. Still full of it ...
  11. Buy a motorbike and hang out in the Motorcycles in Thailand forum.
  12. https://www.suzukimotosales.co.th/en/bikes/raider-j/
  13. Son of the Northeast ... Prayut Son-o-kwai.
  14. Cleaned up my bike and ready to ride.
  15. Oh, it's a "police action". Pull your country to the side, get out and lay on the ground!
  16. Mama wants one that doesn't leak.
  17. Last fall I spent 2 months in Loei. No GF, not much in the way of bars. So I was pretty much stuck at home with my wife at our house. ????
  18. Perhaps they could hire Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Scrutinizer.
  19. Apparently there dogs that can detect termites! Aren't beagles somewhat stinky dogs? Or maybe I'm thinking of some other kind. ... Ah, found at random: Beagles have a higher concentration of odor-producing microbes which love damp and wet environments. Their coat absorbs moisture and releases an unpleasant smell through oily secretions of their sebaceous glands (hair follicles). Although most dogs will have that typical 'wet dog' smell, beagles tend to have it worse.
  20. So, go there and ask for the 1,980 Baht price. Smile, talk nice. Bargain. Or is this some subsidized price?
  21. Looking at the NASA fire map shows fewer fires in the last day or two. Go back a week or two or three (cumulative) and it looks like everything was on fire. Looks like a lot of the burning has already been done. https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:24hrs;@104.3,17.1,6z
  22. No, you don't understand. As it goes up the ladder, it's more like "One for you, two for thee and 3 for me." 6 way split.
  23. " ... According to the police chief, most officers handled the curious teenagers well and were able to answer every question correctly. .." Q: "Does your wife do threesomes? " 555 Come on, the boss was around and they all know heat is coming down. No surprises.
