  1. No. It is smaller than the cheaper one. 24 vs 26cm
  2. The thickness seems considerably more on the higher priced one. More material, more cost.
  3. Exactly right. The only way to respond to his constant stream of lies is to continue to refute them.
  4. He certainly looks svelte in that Tux. Wait . Men can't get pregnant.....right....? Is it possible that he isn't actually ........well never mind. Just a thought the way he comes down so hard on transgender peeps.
  5. Trump still rambles on about Biden. Biden isn't running for office.
  6. Tip: Use your phone GPS to mark the location of your car. Quick,simple,foolproof. I did it once on my first rental motorcycle trip into huahin. I returned to within 6 feet of my bike before recognizing it. Much relief.
  7. Agreed. Two months ago I returned to the usa for two months to close out my affairs there and prep my house for sale. I've been here nearly 6 years since getting a retirement visa. In that time I've been with a wonderful Thai woman, bought a house, gotten a dog, and abandoned any pirsuits or ambitions other that enjoying my life. The USA is chaos unbridled, a nation so polarized and a society so different than the wonderful life I led since being born in 1949 that it is unappealing and unrecognizable. I retired and left two weeks after a lunatic was elected president in 2016, just by coincidence. It's ironic that I'm doubling down on the eve of another tumultuous election involving the same madman. Regardless of the outcome, life there is going to be tense and tortuous for months or years to come. After only 3 weeks there I knew I had to escape for good and never return. I have no plans to ever see friends or family again. The tradeoffs I've made to live here are well worth the cost I paid; I have no regrets.
  8. Very big of you.
  9. Just as China had 'no choice' except to reject the UNCLOS ruling on the Phillipines EEZ?
  10. This just an example of the 'gray zone' warfare the CCP has been waging for years. Nothing to investigate.
  11. Thanks for showing up and adding hilarity to an otherwise boring and repetitive (if truthful) thread regarding Trump's pathological need to lie. No one can question your own pathological need to pander to a madman.
  12. I believe that he got no revelation at, but has duped billions of people into believing he did. Such is the way of 'belief', the basis of all religion: Not worth the wind it's printed on.
  13. But truth be told, the guy living the short-time lifestyle might be a lot happier than the guy judging him and who feels stuck in a married position. And perhaps it's the guy who is not living the short-time lifestyle who is actually the one who's feeling sad. ========= There. I cut out the stuffing for you and now your "do as I say and not as I do" message is clearer.
  14. Joseph Smith got his 'facts' about mormanism from a hat, Mohammed from a goat. Where did you get yours? FOX NEWS?
  15. You truly have no idea how sorry you sound to sane folks. But your insight shows a vague glimmer of self-conciousness. Follow that thread and see what other devastating revelations it may hold for you.
  16. OP In your experience, are broad generalizations usually worth the breath to say?
  17. I give you credit for at trying to support your demigod. The frustration, embarrassment, and shame must be overwhelming. Most people have already had their fill of right-wing word salad though.
  18. Well. I opened this thread hoping to see some of his supporters try a disingenuous rationalization for his actions lately. But thus far they've decided to sit it out which is probably the better part of valor. Or maybe they just refuse to humiliate themselves trying to spin it. Just his detractors telling obvious truths (gasp!) about his failures. What fun is that? Where are his fist pumps and declarations of trashing Harris in the polls?
  19. The man's mind has always been a slurry and I think his mouth is just catching up with his brain.
  20. I certainly hope nobody engages the electronic parking brake before they start to park the car
  21. I recently changed from OA to O visa and had to prove my transfers from United States dollars to Thai baht to Bangkok Bank account. Bangkok Bank agreed FTT stands for foreign telegraphic transfer. They then went back 3 years and provided a printout of all of my ftt deposits for immigration office in hua hin. The immigration office concurred and I got my Visa with no problem. So though my experience is different from yours it may be because I use wise as my transfer agent and transfer is done in THB. Take it as you will but I accomplished what I needed to with immigration. In any event between the two of us we have probably helped a few people on this forum and I appreciate your help.
  22. Best way to prepare: Buy a road suit Buy a good helmet Update your medical insurance Don't drive during the day or night or on weekends or holidays Don't drive on any roads or highways. Carry a copy of your Will on your person . Carry next of kin information on your person. Avoid skids on gravel and oil slicks by deflating your tires at least 50% to maintain good road contact and fast stops. If you have a rare blood type carry several bags of it with you. Safety First! It could save your life! Carry a strong rope and grappling hook in case you need them after falling into road holes or sewer lines. Never start the engine. Be sure your lights and horn are working properly(actually forget that one. It's not important) Never approach any intersections and avoid sideroads,railroad crossings, and traffic signals. Disregard any traffic signage as it is merely suggestions and generally safely ignored. Keep your head on a swivel every second of every minute of every day. Driving through rice or peanuts spread on the road for drying is allowable though frowned on by the locals unless they are the ones doing it. Do not challenge any vehicles traveling against the traffic(it's normal and condoned by law enforcement) Avoid fixed objects along your path such as trees and hanging wires. Check your brakes often(the majority of road accidents in the Kingdom are brake failures). Never slow down or stop at zebra/pedestrian crossings. This may induce traffic behind you to fail to stop due to brake failures and it will be deemed your fault. Start with the gas tank empty and maintain that level throughout your journey of exploration. Never travel with the wheels moving Above all enjoy your trip and don't worry. Thai drivers are among the best in the world (at destroying each other and any property around them) Note: All the above precautions are strongly recommended if you are within sight of any roads/highways/sidewalks/ footpaths anywhere in the Kingdom even if you are on foot.
  23. Your dream continues unabashed. Enjoy!
