  1. Almost any type of water heater device will use a lot of electricity. Regular water heaters in the shower actually use more electricity than an air conditioner. Fortunately people don't use them all night like an air conditioner. My wife and daughters tend to take long hot showers. I envy the people who have properly installed solar power.
  2. No, Don't disclose your heart condition. Can you get travel insurance here in Thailand before you leave. There a lot less thorough. Travel insurance is hard to claim even in the best circumstances.
  3. Doesn't work that way in Thailand. If its slow he'll be stocking, cleaning, or clocking out.
  4. Drunk driving and a shooting. He'll probably lose 4 to 5 points out of 12. Better stay out of trouble the next 11 months or he may lose his license.
  5. That'll make the trip there more relaxing. Enjoy your trip! I miss those little weekend trips to Laos for a change of scenery. I'm hoping the new bridge in Bueng Kan is open sooner than later.
  6. Hopefully dual pricing also. Love to hear them complain about that.
  7. Was that recently? Terrible for the airlines bottom line. Great for a passenger on a long haul flight.
  8. That's for 1 year. Reviewers say its really slow. True has very good packages. Just look at their promotions on there website. They change often. You can always add extra Gigabytes for cheap if you find that on a certain month you use more than often or use your phone as a Hotspot. Lots of areas with 5G.
  9. Has anyone actually stolen your plants? In California it would never fail. Just a few days before harvest they'd be torn out. Just a few but it was heartbreaking. I thought Thai Teens had more scruples!
  10. That's the best, quickest, and safest method. If you don't know how just go to the branch and have them explain it to you. Bring your partner to smooth out the language barrier. After your first few transfers you'll wonder why you haven't been doing this for years! Bangkok Bank is in the process of closing many branches so it might be wise to learn now instead of later.
  11. เฮงทวีค้าไม้ หัวมุมสามแยกพิขัย 210 /7 9 Amnuay Songkhram Rd, Thanon Nakhon Chai Si, Dusit District, Bangkok 10300 02 241 2622 https://g.co/kgs/DoPpmV
  12. Manually open and closing doors. That's would be difficult under any circumstances. These old busses have got to be replaced. Good thing nobody was killed.
  13. Great location across from the beach. Filthy dump. The apartments behind look like some slum village from the 18th century. No love lost on these turds.
  14. The malls and PTT gas stations are fine. I'm in Issan and in the large open air markets theres usually no soap. Hygiene protocols in Issan are lacking for sure. Nothing compares to Terminal 21 bathrooms though!
  15. Definitely not many available if Thailand has a small stockpile. "DMS says 4 decades old smallpox vaccine in storage still effective against monkeypox" https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG220725115419927 Many older people have already been vaccinated In the US it was mandatory to attend school and smallpox vaccination were used until 1972.
  16. Monkey Pox vaccines aren't available in Thailand at the moment. Are they available in your country yet?
  17. I don't think anyone's afraid. It's not as deadly as COVID. So far. Just stay away from Turkish baths in the meantime.
  18. There isn't since its easily spreadable. What may seem mild to you could be hospitalizations for the multiple people you spread it to you.
  19. Mi Box S 4K. Really good value and upgrades OTA. Download KODI from Google Playstore. Install the "Crew app" in KODI you'll get options for any Sports, Movies, TV shows that you want. You won't even need a VPN. KODI Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.kodi Even pay per views. Here's a link to Troy point. Com instructions for installing to Kodi. https://troypoint.com/crew-kodi-addon/ Trypoints website has plenty of simple steps for add on's to your Android box or Amazon Stick. You'll need descent WiFi. All free.
  20. I can't add words to quoted articles.
  21. Usually because theres never any soap in the bathrooms. No use just running your hands under filthy tap water.
  22. Unfortunately in Thailand Washing hands has never been very important. New Zealand and other Western countries definitely have higher hygiene protocols.
  23. That'll probably hinder tourists numbers. Who wants to go to a country that may or may not subject you to a random drug test. However before COVID there were busts at late night bars in Pattaya that everyone was subject to drug tests. 50,000 baht and 3 days in a rotten Malaysian jail. Nightmare!
  24. The promotion I got for the pre-order was two years. Usually its one year. Your right. Warranty work is only in the country you purchased it in. I was wrong. I had to mail my Samsung watch to the US for warranty work from Thailand. It was quite expensive because of the watch battery. The pre order promotions can be very good. Two years warranty and screen replacement. Samsung are premium phones and hopefully one will unlikely ever need to use the warranty or at least live within the country if they do. They may already be taking pre -orders for the Galaxy S23 series. Check the website, perhaps they'll have similar promotions. Good luck!
