" for Small Cities award at the ASEAN level " That's a really low bar. Too sad to even be funny

40 25 yrs ago when I got here and up to 45, before the steady decline. Won't be seeing 40 again, definitely not in our lifetime. Be happy it stays above 30, as less than for any length of time, would be a new low. Occasional dipped <30 in the past, but very short lived.

Interesting. Hope the produce them in CN soon, for Asian market. Love to buy one, and stick on one of our lots.

CN leading the way on mass producing affordable products for alternative use of fossil fuels. Solar system components & EV has eliminated out need and use of fossil fuel, on a personal level, unless O&A. Which is the fault of the govt, still cozying up to FF industry. Slowly breaking away, or trying to, and a work in progress. Kudos to CN for that. Shame on the govts, such as USA, for blocking that availability in their countries. Consumers paying the price, and yet, they still re-elect the idiots. Ignorance is Bliss. Can't fix stupid 😎 My brothers & friends who know about our Solar & BEVs, my independence and freedom from depending on FF hate that solar systems & BEV are crap and or overpriced in the USA.

If single, I'd have to pay taxes on my SS. Married, and we're borderline already, so an additional 'deduction / tax cut' is welcome. As any COLA the next couple years, would have probably put us in the 'taxable' side of income. Over 65-66-67 pretty much includes most of SS recipients.

Then don't buy Thai beef, though I wouldn't call it low quality, unless referring to tenderness/marbling. Just not as good as import or Thai beef from imported breeds. My freezer always has Salmon in it, (imported & not farm raised), which I get from Makro, but not ARO brand, packaged, as suspect that simply to be old, thawed that they couldn't sell as 'fresh' ...

Not trying to convince myself of anything. Simply made a statement backed up by the graph & link I posted. Reading comprehension goes a long to understanding what people post. Might want to reply to my post, which was accurate, instead of what ever your trying to do, imply or state. Is there any president that hasn't dropped in the polls after elected ? He's not imposing any new taxes on the American consumer that 'buys USA', that I've read about. If anything, he's cut taxes, or so I read, about people complaining about the largest tax cut in some time. Along with cutting taxes on folks, myself included, that receive Social Security. Not that I care about taxes on American consumers, since I'm not one. Have a pleasant day

obviously depends who is asked ... https://www.activote.net/trumps-approval-holding-steady/

I avoid all puddles, and flooded walkways & road if walking. Saw a dog get zapped & killed, walking a couple meters in front of me, on the walkway. Water was pooled from a recent rain and the dog came in contact with an illuminated sign or exposed wire in water, then maybe grounded itself. Don't know exactly, but it yiped, then rolled over dead. We, daughter in hand at Karon Beach, stopped dead in our tracks and made a U-turn back to hotel I don't trust any sitting water, or touch anything metal when walking around. If I do, railing or what ever to steady myself, it's with the back of my hand or my arm against, so I'll just get knocked on my butt at worse, and not do the death grip thingy. Same with showers at hotels, turn on without grasping. Mind boggling that people walk through flooded streets and such. Not just fear of getting zapped, but usually flooded because the sewers (storm drains) are back up ... no thanks.

This little fella flew into the window, I think. I gave him some water, in case he takes too long to recover and gets dehydrated while recovering from it's headache. Didn't take too long for recovering & flew away.

That you own anything, puts you way ahead of most here, that seem to rent a cubical space and use an agent to skirt the financials of a visa. 👍

Nice ... 2022 we had to stay near the house build. That took 1.5 yrs to finally get done, what was supposed to be a 4 month build 🙄 Definitely put a dent in our O&A. Covid really was the best time to be O&A, especially South during 'high season' Phuket was Bliss

... shh 25 yrs ... got to get out of the house, village, city, amphur, province, especially when living at Udon Thani for 16 ish year. After 1st year, ain't a damn thing to see new at Udon Thani. Only 3 months a year, but school breaks were a Buddha-send 🙄 ... "Goin' places that I've never been Seein' things that I may never see again And I can't wait to get on the road again" ...

Corrected ... "Ukraine gets devastated by 660 Russian drones" Yahoo assumes correctly, people only read the headline. Putin & RU should surrender already, before they are destroyed
