Jo's bakery have been delivering less to Nim City Rimping and I have not seen their bread at Ping river branch for some time. Sad as I really like their Rye and Pumpernickel. Their shop in Hang Dong would be the place to go. Nana bakery has certain days for certain bread; Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for their multi grain loaf, for example. If you call they will reserve for you. I used to have the small Nana shop reserve a multi grain for me. Now I go to the bigger Nana bakery down the road at 89 plaza. Tops at C. Festival always have whole grain and dark breads in stock.

02 gyms are pretty cheap. I would check the current state of the Duangtawan facilities before you buy anything long term. As always up 2U, but you are warned.

I doubt they will get any money, but likely, even americans <deleted>), understand they were almost killed. First westerner I knew personally, who died in LOS, was electrocuted at his new koi pond. Older Euro. Call it 'death by Non-Nany state', as he had just hired a person to put in lighting. Zap. Likely most have forgotten about the Indian couple found dead in a pool in Koh Tao. So many die there, this flew under the radar. However, one news article mentioned the pool was having work done. Bingo. Like anything else on that island, we will never know for sure, but yes electrocuted, fits with all the evidence we have. It is a problem here for sure. If you want to whinge about it, fine, pop a Leo, swill & have at it. Cheers

More censorship ... YouTube's algorism hiding info

Dr Berg ... a Chiropractor Sorry for breaking out in laughter. You need tissue? -
Laos Luang Prabang Indonesia, likely not Bali I judge a country by its street food. Cambodia is out on that alone. After that, not in SEA; Greece, Guatemala or Colombia. I like the idea of Montevideo, but know nothing about it. Moot point though as likely I will add to the thai ball and chain, with the purchase of a house.

Is there a Chiang Mai Forum? & wet markets for vegetables
Dcheech replied to cubism001's topic in Chiang Mai
They are all over town, check your local area. South, SE quadrant; Chiang Mai Gate market in the morning, Kad Kom, in the evening. As this is Wednesday there will be a afternoon market at Plaza 89 on the CM Lamphun RD. A happening place. You can stop at Bakemart coop on the way down, Nana Bakery when there, shop for veggees, & have a meal at one of the restaurants. Like the plaza 89 market described above ; open Monday & Wednesday, the Sailomjoy mrkt by the Mengrai Anuson bridge is open Tuesday and Thursday.. Get out and support your local small markets. -
Say what you will about the hokey video. It gives our keyboard warrior caste, a chance to crawl out from under a rock, & engage in one of their deeper cultural needs. The sheer joy in finding fault. Reckon they will celebrate a successful morning's work by digging out a frozen meat pie to toss in the microwave for lunch, and who can blame them?!

If it is a Falango. If it's a foreigner, they do not mention the country as China is sensitve about their image. -
How To Avoid The 'Wham Bam, Thank You' Scam
Dcheech replied to Brewster67's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
My condo is a two bedroom, locks for both. That & I'm a lefty. Still, it amazes me, how many arrive fresh from a disaster in country of origin and immediately jump in, up to their ear lobes here. No real sympathy, any more for these types. They knew, someone had told them, they just did not believe, want to believe. Lucky they are still alive, if skint. -
How To Avoid The 'Wham Bam, Thank You' Scam
Dcheech replied to Brewster67's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
"happens in every country in the world. " However it takes a special type of dumb, to come here and immediately find yourself a wife on the rebound as it were. So many divorcee’s who have failed miserably at their first attempt at marriage, come to Thailand and double down. Losing their house, getting that restraining order, was so much fun they want a repeat on a new continent, in a different country. Woohoo! What these numbnuts want is a maid/cook with a vagina. You can rent both in Thailand, no need to buy. -
Parrot heads of the Carribean, move to Cancun. Gen X prefer Mexico?! Ones, location has a lot to do with what one sees though. From what I see here, we are already in an ‘US expat wave’. A lot of X’ers, but all through the age spectrum, including young millennial bots. They use other social media, easy to miss just how many there are. I can't say I'm overjoyed about it. When my idiot step brother turns up here, I'll know it is time to move on. The much talked about 'Chinese wave', post Wuhan flu, never materialized, much to the shock/dismay of the local real estate industry, boohoo.

Thailand's ex-PM Thaksin to serve 8 years in jail - court statement

Does he rest for a couple days at the medical facility, recover from jet lag, before the royal pardon comes through? -
Thaksin will be “escorted from plane to prison” when he arrives Tuesday
Dcheech replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
According to Thai media, he is here. Private jet just landed at Don Mueang. -
A small minority? Must live in the tourist zones, or more likely deliberate porkies pies, so common these days. Chiang Mai gate market this morning, easily 80 % + of people had masks on. As this is shopping day I'll be at Rimping Ping river branch in an hour. Expect only 60-70 % there, because of the non thai customers.

Yank Woman Wants Free Drinks In Melbourne
Dcheech replied to LaosLover's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
She could hang out in meat market/pickup bars with Steve Stunning types. Still it's a big stretch to assume these places represent mainstream bar culture in the US, let alone a foreign country. Used to be in the work hard, party hard, set during the 90's. This was most definitely not the norm. You ply them with alcohol, scuse, buy them a drink, after you are chatting them up, and believe the odds in your favor. However as this is from a UK tabloid article, via a TikToker VID, it has to have a hook, (clickbait) in it or you wouldn't bother. Plus it's an article they feel will dovetail to their target audiences deeply held beliefs & prejudices. Gnarf. -
Where to find whole cooked roast/rotisserie chicken?
Dcheech replied to TaiMaiTai's topic in Chiang Mai
Tops, Central Airport. They have them out by 1130 at the latest, everyday. Central Festival market has had them. Do not know if it is everyday. They do have large section cut ups everyday for sure; half a chicken or leg & thigh, if not a full roasted bird. "Tops Food Hall Central Festival" -

Brat dogs are a stand by in CM; Fourth of July and Football. The easy option, when not sure about other 'dogs'. Rimping, for the Brats & a can of Hengstenberg Kraut. Bread from Nana bakery. Assorted condiments and let the guests DIY. BTW thanks to the above posters, I now have an idea of other dogs to buy, . 'Toffee nosed yanks, hard at work crafting Brat dogs for the bon vivant set.'
