  1. That's very easy. If it is colder then usual, its the weather. Newspaper and TV Stations do not inform about that, because it would just confuse you. If it's hotter then usual, it's climate change. Actually its a climat catastrophe already. Newspaper will report about it using bright red in weather maps, together with TV Stations. They like to cut month short if it gets a cold spell towards the end. Fun fact. Human race was two times near extinction because of cold weather. Veggies just don't grow very much in ice. Heat, at least till now, did not endanger human race. Not till Gretta came and told us all how wrong we have been .........
  2. Maybe another institution would be better suited for you instead of a gym.

    The heat

    Its unusuall windy too. If I open my balcony door and condo entrace door my Condo is self cleaning. Everything is blowing into the hallway, incl. the stuff I would like to keep. So I just close everything, put the aircon on 26 C and relax.
  4. Get a resting face like a bulldog, they will be afraid to aproach you.
  5. Instead you should have walked the other way. Just past Soi 1 BeachRd. Jomtien, you see a newish red Building. Ground floor has a Gym with Aircon. Its not freezing cold and its not too expensive, you even get free cold water (but bring your own bottle). Btw. does Tonys still sell lifetime Memberships for 6k baht, or was it 10K? Anyway, In that case the mentioned Gym may be too expensive for you. I do not want that you can't afford the aircon in your shoebox and then it will be as hot in your shoebox as the shoebox of the other Gents you complain about.
  6. I guess somethimes poster forget to put a smiley or two on a post. So its easier to understand.
  7. That sounds like a good price to me. Many dentist do put prices on the websites. So its not a problem to compare. In the end its the quality that counts and if you are happy with the result.
  8. When you drive on the wrong side of the road, it does not matter what you drive. That pic shows a typical Tourist not used to drive on the left side. Most probably without any bike experiance either. To the OP, I would not bother with manual or semi. Get youself an automatic. Much motr relaxing, specially in haevy traffic. That little bit of exra it needs will not be noticed anyway. If that would financially consern you, then you better go back home or buy a pushbike.
  9. Do you mean he toght the seat shoud have bent over backwards? Usually you do get a lie flat seat, some old seats have lie flat at an angle.
  10. I try to set up a gocoolfundme page. But it's just too hot, I cant think of any horror story to get the money flowing.

  12. First Electric Songtaew, next English Breakfast without baked beans.
  13. I see 2 Girls with masks (Covid still rampant in South Korea?) and a sign. One wants her dignity respected. How is her dignity disrespected? She got caught working without permit. Now she gets deported. Again, what has this to do with a disrespected dignity. The other one asks that labor rights of immigrant workers are guaranteed. Well little sunshine, I am sure thouse rights are held upright for legal immigrant workers. However you are in the Country illigal. You have been lying to immigration. You wanted to earn money without paying taxes.the only right you have is to be deported without harm. Imho a double nothingburger.
  14. I would advice you to rent each one for some days. Forza 350, ADV 350 and the xmax 300. Forza is great for longer rides and has good weather protection, electric windscreen. I had one back home and thought suspension was <deleted>e with the back suspension way to hard. Xmax much more fun to ride, better suspension but not much weather protection, wind screen only adjustable using tools. ADV 350 good suspension, easy adjustable wind screen. Power wise, they are, more or less, on the same level. Connectivity to your smart phone. Yamaha way better as the Honda System is useless. Yamaha will show you routing, so you can keep your phone in a pocket, beside of many other informations. Honda will guide only verbal from your phone to your earphone, something you can do directly. So, as I said, completely useless. You can improve suspension on all 3 bikes with after market stuff. However the basic set up with xmax and ADV is better. Improvements with the Forza is more limited imho.
  15. Invite him to Thailand and gift him a night in Boystown. Or if you want to celebrate together, go down to Soi 6 and he can use the same Bar just the "backentrace" from 6/1. Now for real. I think its no big deal nowadays. However, like you I find it sad if he waited for a long time to do it.
  16. You coud try Dentist at the Beach in Central 4. Floor. I did use them many years and had never a long wait. No recent experience as I now stay further away.
  17. If you have clogged up ears, go to Pattaya International. Ear Doc will go in with a suction device and clean your ear out. He will clean it out properly. After you can maintain it with hydrogen peroxide from a pharmacy (I think 3% solution). Buy some siringes too, so you can apply it to your ear. Keep it for some minutes till the bubbling quiets down, then flush it with (clean) warm water out. How do I know? I have several 1000 dives under my belt. Along the way you get all sorts of ear problems, in Pattaya waters anyway. Don't use ear sticks in your ear. You may push ear wax towards your ear drum and it will clogg up your ear. Never stick anything smaller then your ellbow into your ear. Candle are a total scam. They will show you after how much ear wax was removed. Truth is, its just the leftover wax from the candle itself. If there is a suction force at all, it ist way to weak to move ear wax.
  18. My Landlord was talking to TOT and what a surprise this morning. Much improved speed. I just hope it lasts. Maybe you lot are still comatose in bed from last nights shenanigans 😇 and I am the only one using Internet, who knows 😁 We will see.
  19. Why don't you open a thread "Thai real motorbike tales"? First answer and you are totally beside the thread. Then, if I want something hot between my legs, the last thing I think about is a hot motorbike engine in an already very hot country. Now go and open your own tales thread and let us talk about scooters, would you please? Thank you.
  20. Yesterday from Central to Jomtien 96 Baht (Bolt Car). That was not more then I paid in November last year. Maybe there was no cheaper option available? After all there are different Car categories to choose from (or not if that categorie is not around).
  21. I wanted the newest Information, not some outdated Info from month ago. The problem could also have been local. Would not be the first time in Thailand. Thanks to many helpful members we got the newest Info, witch I am very thankful for.
  22. Thank you. A search did not bring up anything. Next step: pester my Landlord.
  23. I moved into a Condo in Jomtien (VT5). Internet I guess its TOT. Yesterday afternoon I could easely stream TV from Switzerland. In the evening it got nearly impossible tu even open a website. Asean now too slowed down to a crawl. Pictures came uo line by line like in the good old dial up time. Since then it stayed that way. Speed to Bangkok is fine, but to Switzerland its a joke. Restarting the modem did not help btw. Similiar happend in 2006 when some underwater cable broke. Is it TIT, TOT, Comrade Putin or the Mullahs cutting the cable?
