Ummm, ran across this piece a while back while working the face of an-early-Vietnam-war rabbit hole. TLDR - you can operate a submarine, even a nuke, in the Gulf of Thailand. But you should be prepared to walk the fine line between a Naval Unit Citation and a court martial for reckless endangerment if you happen to be the skipper... https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2008/february/sculpins-lost-mission-nuclear-submarine-vietnam-war

Or maybe an end run? There is an article in Nature Biotechnology July 2023 about a recently discovered protein compound which is 3000 times as sweet as sugar and 'super-tasters' can't distinguish it from sugar. See the attached pdf. supersweet.pdf

Apple has a relatively decent trade-in program, might want to check that... Plus it's getting close to the US Black Friday if you can wait that long... Good luck!

If you live in bkk maybe contact a grand piano retailer. They will most likely point you to a crane company. They do this sort of oversize-whatever delivery in San Francisco etc. frequently. No idea about the cost here... Good luck!

Journeyed to Savannakhet Laos the day before my permission to stay expired, via minivan. Got stamped out of Thailand with the officer warning I was out of visa and should hit up the consulate. Got a Lao visa on arrival, $40USD, paid in baht the equivalent - seemed to be correct amount based on current exchange rate. Then hit up the farmer's market for a few items, drove around, etc. Stamped out of Laos no issues. On the Thai side of the river was asked if I had a visa, said no, was sent to the other side of the road, was handed a TM6 to fill out (!!). Then back to the main booth, handed in passport + TM6. I thought maybe I had won a somtam door prize or something based on the mad pounding/stamping which ensued. Yep, the Thai folks who had arrived in the meantime were not amused... But all in, no issues or surprises - except the TM6. Has the W30 stamp on it and stapled in my passport mostly covering the expiring 'stay' stamp.
