Yer, my wife gets a bit jumpy when I go and sit out in the gazebo. It is made of aluminum so I'm convinced it will act as a Faraday cage in the unlikely event of a strike. But I could just be wrong!

You're not wrong, cars also work as Faraday cage.

More coming today,

I have always wondered how all these trucks blowing clouds of black smoke when they accelerate can pass the smog/safety checks.

I never played any golf until I came to Bkk in 1976, always thought it was a stupid game - after playing  first round at the OLD Khao Yai course (armed guards for tigers and caddies wouldn't go in the woods for any balls hit there.  5 of us lost 80 balls on the 1st nine holes.  Loved it too much.  3 of us it was our first round of golf - we all three ordered clubs the following week.  I think anywhere else starting golf other than Thailand might have kept me from falling in love with the game.  I live in CM now and have had a few problems with wrists so stopped playing a couple of years ago but now am anxious to get back out there.  

This is the same as outside my condo in Pattaya.

well Lee Trevino if you know who he is, during an interview he as asked what he would do if he was playing in a thunderstorm and his reply was "I would play my 1-iron because not even GOD can hit a 1-iron!!"

If you play golf, there's a new golf simulator with aicon on Sai3, next to PKCP condominium just north of Klang 

Shutting down sai3, North of Klang because of flood 

Clears the air.

My TGF complain about me sitting on the balcony admiring the it.

Guess working on a rice field during thunderstorm is no good idea.

I'm from the Nordic countries and love it.

Guess you shouldn't play golf right now 😂

Must have died penniless then and his family cant be bothered to pay for a funeral. They ought to be ashamed of themselves begging for funeral costs

Most temple have a coffin you can donate for funeral costs.

Then there is the ridiculous endless roadworks. And many new developments underway. Who are going to be coming back after putting up with it. I suppose the Thais are going to fill up all this development - they seem ok with spending 1/2 a day in the car 

When I lived on Samui for 15 years, the old mayors brother had the contract to fix the roads, never got good.

New mayor ordered roads pawed instead of concrete, old mayors family was pissed off.

Shouldn't of let you get away with it, loud exhausts are juvenile, try riding with more skill instead 

95db is allowed, Testing in a garage on max trust will be 110db.

Don't make juvenile sounds, I'm 57

The monthly concert outside my condo is louder.

18 years in Thailand, driving is a survivor skill.

Mr. Subhadeep should start a diving school

What happens if they discover they dont like muay thai and stop the class. Can they still use the visa until it expires?

You must show your skills learnt by fighting an immigration officer.

Funny enough that's what i do, AC at 27⁰ (actual temperature 25-26.5⁰) and a fan, for sleeping, works well and pretty cheap

I can not sleep without the fan noice

Interesting, have you got a link for that?

 

Definitely circulates the cold air but 50% lower electric bill is a big no chance

OK up to 30%.

https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40013568

Aircon in combo with fan can lower your electric bill with up to 50%

Yes.

If you skip the re-entry permit, you get 30 days that you also can extend for 60 days.

You can get a 60 day extension on any entry.

No numberplates.

How that turns into proclamations like 'The average IQ of Americans is 102.3' is beyond my machinery's capacity to understand.

According to recent data (around 2022), the average IQ in the United States falls around 98. It's important to remember that IQ tests are designed to have an average score of 100, so a slight deviation is expected.

Also the test are diffrent from your language and age, for example, my son 12 years old score 105 IQ designad for 17-19 years old Americans and he is Thai,

I have taken IQ tests in Finland, Sweden and the US when I was 20 years old, actually same result.

Took one now same time as my son at 56 years old, fear that my  IQ dropped, actually the opposite
