  1. When you attend Army, the first things you drill is to make your bed, cleaning, and dress yourself in time! What a waste? Or? History meaningless? Every subject have its role in forming our brain to connect new neurons and how we progress in life to be well educated individuals. No doubt our education system is better than Thailands. I would moved straight back to homeland. Not a chance in hell my kid(s) would grow up in Thailand. I'm normally positive and pretty laid back, but,,,,, I rest my case.
  2. I have to rely on myself for this one, same as my aeropress ???? I can show her, but she will do it her way as soon I turn my back to it
  3. I'm not sure my wife accept 2k more since she is the one who insist to make my coffee every morning. I'm she is happy spending those money elsewhere ????
  4. My parents teached me to be polite against the older generation.
  5. There is door and window makers in every city and villages who build and design sulutions for you as you want. Talk with some construction companies who might know.
  6. I actually googled a little bit, and want to try drip coffe, or pour coffe through filter. Now after caffe machines, french press, moka pot, aero press (still love that one while travelling) Im going for a simple drip coffe maker. So I ordered this set for now https://s.lazada.co.th/s.kB4K0 Science healthiest coffe https://twochimpscoffee.com/blogs/what-is-the-healthiest-way-to-brew-coffee/
  7. Where you making this up? Smoking, started drinking to early, or just in bad mood? Some people are more creative, logic and have better memory as well gifted to be good preachers and speaker's. Not to forget charismatic, and used their gifts to learn something, and for then teach others, who again make progress of others work, and hopefully improve, and make a new direction. Bitterness hurt's for those who is striked out of the game and can not nor willing to contribute
  8. What is your real problem? Can you say it with words?
  9. Obviously you are the one who got it right, without providing anything else than dowgrading a respected scholar and a quite intelligent one to. Loud applaus for you
  10. When it comes to conspiracy, it is a bit more complicated than it is a complete order controlling everything. Of course something and someone trying, but again, it is a huge chessboard, with to many players to controll everything and everyone involved. To many make a move at same time, cheat, don't make the expected move, and change ge the rules as it goes. Completely fixed and organized chaos. Interesting how our free media, speech and behavior back stabbing us through media, heavy Influenced by the right to express yourself. We need a wake up call against what is really happening towards us, and controlled by surprisingly Tik Tok and other social media who is feeding us with absolutely crap make us more divided than ever. You have to agree, if we face another more severe pandemic, it is necessary for all of us to pull in same direction, to save life and also economic? I do not say covid was a great example of great leadership, but something could had been learned and made it easier to make better solution for the next one, but here we are, still in the trenches and shooting at each other with just Bull pie. I really believe human kind is to stupid to survive their own stupidity. Every great empire grow and create wealth because there are benefits for most in the other end, and that means it is not democratic forced, but greed and strong leadership behind it, who is willing to make sacrifices on behalf of other people. Now, everyone have their heads up where the sun never shine!
  11. Great minds comes with weakness to, and he for sure have his demons to. Check out what he have been through for his beliefs and opinions as well well documented statistically researches when it comes to human relations, politics, belief systems and social behaviors and the psychology involved. He also had physically health challenges as well mentally severe depression since he was 13 and also abuse of benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome. He is one of the big thinkers who dare to say what he believe is right, and also have some science backed with his views. How he see religion, is not that controversial either and more pragmatic in my opinion. Have to remember Peterson also a person who gets older, with everything that involves. I sure many here have noticed a change emmotionally the older you get. Some is more angry, some more easily emmotionally touched, and some both. What about you? Emmotionally strong as ever?
  12. Of course Thailand. Riding around Thailand on motorbikes since 2005 on my own, alot have changed during that time with great speed.
  13. You would be surprised how many Thai men also get stung by the poison of love. Last year, a woman past 40, with kids from two different men, previously local married several times, and registered at Ampur one time, got 750K. To her defense, she is a smart woman, who own several businesses, and seen as rich in the village. Meaning she brings wealth to the table, and also of course for her face and her family sake. Sin sod is also an insurance in some cases when there is something to loose. And for her to get married again, it is a risk if they get divorced. Of course if they are legally married, he also have rights to what she buy and make after they got married. Not to forget your responsibility if your better half do something stupid legally or financially. I believe many here really do not know what comes with a marriage in Thailand if something happens, and the responsibility they have. If you running a business with your wife, and she do not pay taxes, cheat on government and other legal matters, you are as deep in it as she is, even you had no clue, and even you have nothing to do with the business at all.
  14. Maybe this one suits me better, since I'm the only one who enjoy coffee here. 170ml https://s.lazada.co.th/s.kytVU
  15. Reasonable price you would say? https://s.lazada.co.th/s.kyt0H
  16. Again, as you should know, this custom is what it is, and practiced one way or the other. There is not one understanding of it, but as said practiced widely open with many variations. I guess you find your view of it quite reasonable for your family sake? Little colored by your position ???? Even we know the facts, sin sod is for girls with no previous history and well rised by their family, still all kinds of women, no matter age, family (or bride) requests sin sod, and get it against all odds. Even when the mother and father have deceased, some claim sin sod on behalf of the family. Single moms as well, get sin sod, so go figure. And this is not only the case for western men marry Thai women, but as much for Thai men who fall in love with an woman with a great history of past
  17. As one is more than right than the other, it still the bride family who organize and pay for the party! And every wedding I have been to, and those I first hand know (not only Isaan) Have practiced the brides family, organize and pay for everything. Of those who did not have sin sod, the man paid for everything, still organized by the bride family or the wife.
  18. He is the one who talk pure clear logic these days, and some would say the evil of logic! Back in the time it was fully accepted and logic to stone people out of numerous reasons, and burn witches. How far have we really come in the sense of being matures intelligent human beings? There is multiple forces pulling in all directions, and going against it, cost, just ask Petersen about that! Well, back to my own delightful reality in Isaan. Life is great, and beautiful. Have a good day
  19. Need a new Moka Pot and want good quality for good value! I have no idea of good brand for good price in Thailand, but I know where I come from this is high end for a real good one. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.kyrNC
  20. Sin sod is ment to be the pay for the party, food, drinks, dresses, music, dancers and other costs involved, and the envelope money from the guests is for the couple. And from there, there is a variety of customs giving the left overs back to the couple, keeping it for safety, donation to temple for good luck, and more. Others often make foreigner pay sin sod, party, and everything else that could come to mind, but that's a scam.
  21. In our area we cant get workers now for less than 500 a day included lunch. Last project we did with fencing, 3 people 2 not even full days work 4000,- baht without lunch and energy drinks. Electricians charge way more of course, and local skilled labor workers starts at 600 if lucky to find anyone available or who are skilled at all. Larger projects is priced by unit, not by days. How is the infrastructure in Vietnam? I'm quite impressed how progressive the government have been to build massive Infrastructure from north to south, east and west and it continues as we speak non stop.
  22. Again, I guess there is a difference from a girl who worked in the "turist industry" meeting foreigners, and a young daughter with Uni education with no previous history. Meaning not married, no kids, and no other known luggage from past. I would personal never married a Hi so out of many reasons, but that's not the point here. The point is, sin sod or dowry as it is called, is a cultural phenomen in Thailand, so, either you accept it or not! Simple as that I guess wedding is off for now when this reached the social media and world news, and can hope for next generation it will create an healthy debate about sin sod, and why it should end. For many young thais it is a disaster unfortunate, and also for couples from mixed cultures obviously.
  23. Another one Tim Sharky https://youtu.be/pBUj-wT7CkE?si=gEnyP0ifQoZ4x15m
  24. The police tried to confiscate his gold and plant drugs in his apartment? Tim Sharky https://youtu.be/it2PYzDGQNs?si=IHK_-4Bm59i7uen6
