Easy answer, take cans not bottles to the pool, not difficult, and no hassles (if alcohol is allowed at the pool).

Not allowed and I think it may have to do with diving into the pool drunk into the shallow end opens them up for litigation. I think the thermos bottle is the best solution so far

Olive oil is a very healthy choice. Ignore the part that says vegetable oil. It is nonsense. Otherwise the chart is fine, except it ignores sunflower oil, which is readily available here, and rice bran oil, which is very hard to find outside of Thailand. 

Olive oil a higher smoke point than lard and coconut oil? doesn't look right

Did anybody see any details of what the man was upset about?

Pretty sure one of  the thousands of expats that speak perfect Thai will be along any minute to translate 

Nothing there but there is a huge branch at soi 11 2nd rd a few minutes past mikes mall on the way to central. Or get the baht bus soi buakhao and walk down soi 11 to second rd

Police did a shit job,endangered themselves and others around too.....the guys were obviously drugged out of there heads and you cant have a drug fueled idiot(s) with a massive knife running around,he swiped a bit at the cop already,the cop was defending himself with his baton..huh!!....if that guy decided to really attack which he could of then the 2 cops would be dead and then members of the public after ,they were lucky he was not intent on murder but they didnt know that so was stupid the way they responded..the knife guy should have been told straight away to drop his weapon at gunpoint and shot in the body if didnt listen. He even went up to the cops partner at one stage very closely and could of stabbed him very easily......the cops were not trained properly and played it by ear which by a bit of luck worked out this time..i certainly wouldnt rely on luck in that situation....why take the guy down with no knife first leaving the man with a knife to still be acting nuts......they should have focused on him/his knife hand and possibly whack his knife hand with there sticks but i would have preferably had my gun pointed at him at first sight of a 12 inch bladed knife and the man jumping around acting nuts with it on arrival at  the scene. They were lucky this time!!!

 

This vid should be a training VID on what NOT to do when confronted by a lunatic with a large knife 

Unfortunately my digestive system can no longer handle red meat.  Don't think I don't miss it.  Even if I had a lean 125g steak I would be rolling on the floor in pain the next day.  The stuff takes at least 3 days before it exits the other end, and in my case it will not be a fun time.  My main source of protein is poultry and seafood.  I have the perverse fantasy of if a doctor told me I had ten days to live I would survive them on bbq ribs, any kind of meats and desserts I want, and opioids to ease the pain.  Oh, and Cialis!  [emoji3]
 
When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had to learn how to control it, within those first six months I probably ate more vegetables than I had in all the previous years of my adult life.
For you guys who are able to eat meat (bas-tards all!) my advice is to learn about adding fiber to your intake.  Hint: a few digestive biscuits with the morning coffee doesn't cut it.  The old saying about an apple a day is more valid than you might think; at Tesco I've bought some good ones imported from Oz, NZ and S. Africa.  The US apples seem to be improving from their "tree-grown potatoes" reputation, just avoid the "Delicious" variety.

Don't need milk and fruit. We are not designed to drink cows milk and fruit is just a whole lot of sugar. calcium and vit C are available in good quality vitamin pills.

That's good to know. Where did our ancestors buy their vitamin pills, from the Fred Flintstone pharmacy?

They suffered terribly with lactose intolerance but they were also hunters and gatherers so they were burning massive amounts of calories and the sugar burst from fruit helped a lot.

Now lets talk about fat arsed farang eating 3 bananas and on the PC all day and then a glass of milk and then nice little nap eh??

They still make 1 pixel phone cameras?

The guy obviously was all bluster for he had many opportunities to stab the cops and didn't but they didn't know that. Amazing restraint shown imo, mental illness or yaba comes to mind. Would of been dead in North America unless someone was lucky with a taser. 

They don't use Taser when the person is charging with a knife or gun, Tasers don't always work especially if the guy is pumping with adrenaline or high on Meth

They were lucky they were not stabbed only because he didn't want . Could have easily taken the many staff within a few feet away hostage but he didn't want to. Shoot him dead! stop playing games

There is a vid on you tube showing the same scenario and when the disturbed knife man finally went on the attack a BIB tripped and was stabbed to death..Shoot to kill!!

Yes, and that will keep you a healthy straight male I guess, according to your logic lol...

 

Thats where your wrong. Meat has zero carbs and will put you quickly into a state of ketosis where your body switches from burning carbs to burning fat. Its the fastest way to lose while eating until your no longer hungry. Fruit is banned as its just sugar , but you can get your vitamin c form a pill

I'm sure most condos wouldn't mind, so long as you're quiet, respectful of other residents, and tidy up your empty bottles.

Ours bans food and alcohol. This is all a result of thails have a picnic of fermented fish and somtam etc and then leaving litter there. A broken glass in the pool is chaos, not easy to locate all the shards. Easy work arounds for booze especially vodka or wine based but beer is a bit tougher if you plan drinking several large bottles

It becomes easier if one gets reasonably proficient in Thai.

I frequently have discussions with my Thai GF on various matters. She's  not one to bottle up her feelings. As far as banter goes, I can send her into hysterics by donning certain items of clothing.

Oh for sure I should have mention that I didn't mean all married couples

Just a few vegans looking deficient and struggling from lack of protein and looking "weak and sickly".

 

 

 

 

I didn't know vegansim made you gay????. Think I will stick with meat of the cow variety 

The thing I miss most about western Women is the witty banter and true belly laughs and also the ability to discuss problems and not put a lid on it like Thais do . Always felt better getting an issue off my chest even if it ends up an argument and the makeup sex was always great. For me mental stimulation is extremely important and probably why I will never marry a thai because better to be alone than to feel lonely when in a relationship and I see those couples everywhere , sitting in a bar or restaurant both staring off into the distance not saying a single word.. now thats sad

How far ahead of your current extension expiry?

 

Around 5 months

Just did an oz stat dec at BKK and no problems at all.

Walk into view Talay 2b , as you enter take a hard right and first real estate office on the left ask for Lynn. She will have plenty rooms this time of the year usually 10k/month for a good one.

I would say taxes are a big part of it, and probably why a large number of condo landlords are not filing tm 30's..

555 correction if I may .... Vegetables in America has no taste ;-) .... they just look great ! .... Oh ... and I am no veggie ... Right now I long for a 5 Guys ... or a In and out Burger ....

Ugly looking organically grown vegetables ... have great taste ... :-)
