There are opinions, and there are facts. A Kia Stinger turbo has about 30% more turbo boost pressure than the comparative Mercedes 200 SLK. Anyone who has driven a Hyundai Kona N in N mode ( racetrack ) knows it sh!ts all over a Mercedes SUV in terms of performance, for about USD 15 k less.

One coffee at Starbucks was sufficient to convince me it was so weak, it should have been placed on life support.

People buy Mercs all the time, even when the Koreans are making technically superior, cheaper cars. It's about the cachet. I feel sorry for Pattaya if that's the best you have. We have plenty of good coffee shops in Chiang Rai. I think there is only one Starbucks in Chiang Rai, at Central.

Given the lean on the tree, there's really only one practical way it can go, which may not suit in terms of collateral damage. I'd agree in this case lopping from the top down is safer.

IMO the OP is a victim of what is called Dynamic Currency Conversion, which is the polite term for daylight robbery. As another poster has said, deposit into a US bank, and use WISE to transfer.

I am not on Facebook, from what I have seen it is hardly a reliable source of facts and information. A haven for every narcissist and fruitcake.

Starbucks is dishwater masquerading as coffee. IMO people go to Starbucks to be seen there, look at me, I'm in Starbucks so I must be rich/successful.

I keep up with the news via taxpayer-funded media and those outlets who support themselves with advertising. I like to know what governments are doing which may affect me. I follow sports and politics, ignore fashion, celebrities and religion. I'm unable to see the point of paying for news I can get free. Sorry, Rupert.

I am not sure how I can lose face on a faceless forum, but do carry on with your delusion. Tom Uren was principled in terms of refusing to accept a lucrative politician's pension, quitting shortly before he became eligible for it. He also had an early career as a professional boxer, challenging for the Australian heavyweight championship. Which facts serve to demonstrate how egregiously stupid some of your trolling posts can be.

My GF irons my clothes. I have never asked her to do it. If she did not, I would just leave them un-ironed. Clean is more important.

I don't need an iron to read news on my laptop. Which century is it you are living in?

You've got two strikes, want to try for a third?

I can understand the terms <deleted> and negro are offensive, although apparently the first term is used quite freely within the racial group itself. It's when the term black is no longer acceptable, and is replaced by the unwieldy African-American, I start calling BS. It's the same in Australia, Aborigine has been replaced by the term Koori. Canada, it's First Nations. Where does it end? The Normans making restitution to the Saxons, perhaps? Are there any Picts left for a Saxon apology? To me, it's the tail wagging the dog.

Plenty of statistical information on the internet comparing the sizes of various racial groups, without resorting to porn.

African men have large penises, Thais are small.

You play squash in rivers and swamps?

Gorilla Arm Pit Odour.

If older men can come to Thailand seeking much younger women, I fail to see why older women should be unable to do the same with much younger men.

Golfers don't seem to have these precedence problems. But then, we have so much more space to move in, and know etiquette.

Playing in bare feet in Asia, you are inviting any opportunistic infection such as cellulitis to invade.

Notch a big V in the trunk of the tree between waist and shoulder height with a chainsaw, in the direction you wish the tree to fall. If there is a wind blowing only attempt the task if the wind is in the same direction. The V should go in to a depth of at least one-third of the trunk diameter. Take the chainsaw to the opposite side of the tree, and make a single cut aimed at the apex of the V. When the cut starts to open, or you can see movement, walk at least fifteen metres away at a right angle to the fall direction.

No. I tend to avoid people with GAPO.

If you look at any state or country which has legislated voluntary euthanasia, you will find the fiercest opposition came from the religious entities.

Codiphen is a drowsy anti-histamine, readily available in Thailand. Ambien is a hypnotic, Xanax is a tranquilizer. WE all react differently to medications, it's best to find the most effective one with the fewest side effects as individuals. AFAIK Codiphen is not addictive, it is what I use occasionally for a good night's sleep. OTOH, Xanax can definitely be addictive.

There are some situations where one compromises, and some where a stand must be taken, otherwise the current state of affairs will continue. IMO you have reached a point where you continue to be disrespected, or decide you have had enough.
