  1. I just used it there 15 minutes ago. "How to go cashless at 7-11 Thailand" https://thethaiger.com/guides/best-of/lifestyle/how-to-go-cashless-at-7-11-thailand#google_vignette
  2. Oh please, get out of the lunatic "Trumpers" cult. "Trump Ranks Dead Last (Again) in Poll of Presidential Greatness" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-ranks-dead-last-poll-presidential-greatness-1234970893/ The 10 Worst U.S. Presidents Not all U.S. presidents are missed once they leave the White House. By U.S. News Staff Feb. 23, 2024 https://www.usnews.com/news/special-reports/the-worst-presidents/slideshows/the-10-worst-presidents "|In historians' Presidents Day survey, Biden vs. Trump is not a close call" https://www.npr.org/2024/02/19/1232447088/historians-presidents-survey-trump-last-biden-14th
  3. All 7-11's have that option to scan you're bank app from your phone. They'll be happy to help you.
  4. Perhaps they don't understand you? Regarding laundry, maybe it's time you "manned" up and bought a laundry machine. The public machines are filthy!
  5. There isn't much room to expand the airport. When it's open its a nice flight from Udon Thani.
  6. Not many tourists come for that. Beaches,girls,nightlife, good food. That's what 99% of tourists want. Local traditions,culture,and temples gets boring fast.
  7. All Thai bank apps have a scan feature. Just scan the merchants QR code and enter the amount. It's available everywhere,even tiny little village markets in rural areas. QR codes are posted to scan for each particular merchant.
  8. I guess it's better than <deleted>ty pot and getting a headache. Either way, get the conservatives out of politics. It's the only way Thailand will move beyond the stone age.
  9. I doubt many people know or care. Much more on theatre in Pattaya than orange turds.
  10. "Compared with flu, COVID-19 can cause more severe illness in some people. Compared to people with flu, people infected with COVID-19 may take longer to show symptoms and may be contagious for longer periods of time." https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm#:~:text=Compared with flu%2C COVID-19,for longer periods of time.
  11. Next time don't rent a place with restaurant on your doorstep. A
  12. Myanmar's strategic location, vast minerals, and natural gas deposits make it an obvious choice. Russia and China have been buddying up with the Junta since they over-threw the elected government. Thailand just goes wherever the the winds blow.
  13. Total pain to repair,clean,etc.
  14. Trying to capitalize on the upcoming juntas collapse in Myanmar. Smart enough to get in early while the current and pass Thai "governments" still back the horrific Junta.
  15. Legalizing marijuana, that was the only accomplishment that bafoon Anutin achieved.
  16. Most anywherebesides Phukett in Thailand. That's my experience at least. Of course you can find cheap accomodation anywhere but I'm referring to within the ancient city walls and high end resorts. I enjoy the place, my wife thinks it's boring.
  17. .......and Indonesia,Malaysia,etc. In reality the burning of fields, while bad is a very small percentage. It's not a new phenomenon. I remember very bad smoggy days 30 years ago. Being in a mountain valley exasperates the situation. "The city's location in a mountain valley exacerbates pollution due to the interplay between mountain meteorology and synoptic weather conditions, leading to high concentrations of air pollutants like particulate matter (PM) [1]. Additionally, Chiang Mai's geographical setting with mountains surrounding the city traps pollutants from various anthropogenic activities, especially during the dry season when there is low precipitation, calm winds, and temperature inversions." https://typeset.io/questions/how-does-chiang-mai-geographical-feature-make-air-pollution-56atx6642q Rainy season will bring relief throughout Southeast Asia and Chiang Mai.
  18. I couldn't imagine why anyone would visit now! Pollution levels at these levels are not only bad health wise but are physically debilitating. On top of that it's overpriced.
  19. CC much easier. Especially if you like to get out of the house and not have to worry about paying the guy. If I'm not there they'll just drop it at the neighbors.
  20. Miserable weather none-the-less. Hopefully lose a few kilos at least. Enjoy the weather.
  21. It has. "More than three dozen districts across Thailand’s 77 provinces have seen record temperatures in April, generally the hottest month of the year, with new highs beating records held as far back as 1958, according to data from the Thai Meteorological Department." https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3260883/southeast-heatwave-thailands-heat-index-tops-52-degrees-philippines-risks-overloaded-power-systems "Punishing heatwave breaks ‘hundreds of records’ all over Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people/thailand-heatwave-asia-el-nino-climate-change-weather/ 20 years in Thailand and this has been the hottest I can remember. Ambient temps of 44-46 Celsius daily. Not much better at night. Lots of people will get a shock when they get there electric bills!
  22. In your case, open the rear end.
  23. Yes. WiFi was essential 10 years ago. If you get a router make sure it's compatible with WiFi 6. "WiFi 6 increases the number of streams to a new high of 12 across the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, whereas WiFi 5 has a limit of 8 in a dual band configuration." https://www.netgear.com/hub/wifi/routers/5-reasons-you-should-consider-upgrading-to-a-wifi-6-router/#:~:text=WiFi 6 increases the number,communicate with your WiFi router.
