Why?

I do find the electricity and food costs a bit difficult to believe, unless you have 4 layers of clothing and are eating cup noodles most of the time. A pub meal with any meat is going to be $10-$15 alone, steak and lamb are as dear as poison. All I read about of Australia is skyrocketing costs of everything - electricity, petrol, rents, food. My son's house insurance premium went from $2400 to $3600 this year. What town or region of Australia, if you don't mind me asking?

Not me, already have gold and silver.

Google Translate on my laptop works for me. Free. Thai script I can show to my GF, and voiceover.

Good thinking.

Not far off it, actually. We had to use slide rules for calculations.

I've found HomePro usually has tradies lined up for installation work on almost any home fixture.

It's what one has with the whisky - peanuts, pizza, potato chips. Have it with non-diet Coke, the Coke is packed with sugar. Pepsi is even worse.

Anything that's been distilled, sugar is not distillable.

My guaranteed rate on WISE as I write is 24.21. Don't go into a career in statistical quality control, IMO you'd be terrible at it. Reacting to single data points.

I suggest trying kratom instead. AFAIK legal in Thailand. If the OP is trying to lose weight, spirits are the way to go, as another poster has said. Beer simply has too many carbs for weight loss to be effectual. I drink Sangsom and diet Coke.

East of the Ping is recognizable to anyone who knows Chiang Mai; however, you do have a point. I would suggest anywhere with ground floor massage, clean linen and curtains would be suitable. IMO Thai women aren't going to be propositioning farang women to have extras, chuk wow is for men.

Looks about 3 star to me. All I ask of a room for one night is clean, big bed, and functional aircon and plumbing. My vote for best value hotel goes to one in Mae Hong Son, 550 baht/night. Room was huge, about 60 sqm. Breakfast included, they even knew how to make perfect scrambled eggs. Le Meridien in Chiang Rai is 7000 baht/night. Too rich for my blood.

I don't see any point to inflicting unnecessary pain on myself, I have enough from other sources already. IMO having a visible tattoo is an automatic classifier of what socio-economic group I belong in, and I don't care to be pigeon-holed either. Hidden tattoos, what's the point?

No, definitely unsafe. Any bacterial contamination of the food is in suspended animation while frozen. Once thawed, the bacteria get to work producing toxins which cause gastroenteritis. Protein is particularly susceptible. Is it worth risking serious illness for a few hundred baht?

Not sure if parameters or paramour is meant. certainly one should check both.

IMO there is no doubt renewable energy, particularly solar, is effective and affordable. It's free, whereas fossil fuels have to be mined or extracted, then processed. Nuclear energy is effective; however, it requires enormous safeguards. As far as being necessary, that ship has already sailed. Ask any insurance company, they are ratcheting up their premiums as fast as they dare. The first law of thermodynamics says storms are only going to get bigger, more intense, and more destructive with global warming. Think of hurricanes packing 400 km/hr winds hitting Miami. The technologies are there, the science is there, it only requires funding to implement them. Humanity's biggest obstacle is venal politicians and the fossil fuel industry that sustains them. Trump appointed an oil industry executive as his Secretary for the Environment. Closer to home, the former Liberal government in Australia had 90% of the staffers in the Prime Minister's Department with links to the fossil fuel industries. If anyone believes that's a path to renewables, I have a bridge in Sydney Harbor I'd like to sell them.

Hand it in, there are enough lowlifes already without my help. I once found a wallet when I was picking up a takeaway in Australia. Took it home, it had business cards in it. I phoned , and asked the guy who answered whether he had lost his wallet. Dead silence for about 30 seconds. I gave him my address, he was on my doorstep in 15 minutes. He was the local Repco manager, and mightily relieved. While the wallet didn't have a great amount of cash, the corporate credit card had a limit of $50,000. He did say he would discount anything in the store back to cost if I visited.

Guaranteed rate on WISE for 21 hours now 24.31, some collapse I am seeing.

IIRC the 10-12 yo's having babies in the Latin American countries go into puberty very early because of the hormones fed to chickens to stimulate fast growth.

Everybody pays for sex, one way or another. The price tag can vary from a pack of cigarettes to a house.

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=acute+kidney+failure+death+rate+in+elderly I have had chronic lymphocytic leukemia for about 7 years. The specialist told me it is most probable I will die of something else. OTOH, if I had acute lymphocytic leukemia, my life span could be measured in months. In your eagerness to jump all over me, you are not even interested in the facts of what the terms acute and chronic mean. For questioning my veracity, and wilful ignorance, you go on my ignore list. Goodbye.

Because they know what they are doing, and possibly enjoy themselves as well. No attraction to very young girls at all, why would I want sex with a terrified starfish?

Dying of acute kidney failure is not the same as dying of CKD. Try learning the medical difference between the terms acute and chronic, OK?

The OP seems to have no problem posting his grievance on ASEAN. Actually, I am faced with the situation in reverse. iHerb in the US has lost my business because some bean counter has decided it's a good idea to scrap the call center where I could talk to a human being about my current problem with all their products appearing in Thai on their website. Lazada has taken over, selling the same products in English on their website. I have never had a problem with Lazada, buy plenty of stuff through them.
