2nd hand ... Lucky Home, Samrong LH camera ... different PH#

Not needed @ Amphur Muang, Udon Thani. Didn't even get married there, but divorce was too easy, <15 mins, simply show up with Marriage Cert & IDs.

Keep telling yourself that, what ever works for you. We know exactly what you were implying. No doubt there.

@SiSePuede419You couldn't of picked a worse place to be in the 'south'. IMHO Been to Samui, long week, around the whole island ... hated it. That was a long time ago. Can't imagine it getter better. I don't know anyone that has liked it. So much more to the south than Samui, and where we go most often. Soon to pop down that way again, before end of the month.

My father use say something like that all the time ... ... "Do as I say, not as I do" ... when I pointed out his hypocrisy at times

Restored faith in human intelligence ... fool me once ... fool me twice

Don't know why anyone would, or MB taxi. Definitely not putting my life in someone else's hands, in/on a vehicle that can't take a hit or provide some margin of protection. Aside from sucking in all the lovely diesel exhaust. Don't even like walking street level next to some roads.

For the home owners, or even the renters, it really doesn't take much to compost. As pointed out in the vid, if home cook a lot, it does make up a huge part of you waste. Photo of about 4 months of our trash, and basically plastic packaging the didn't or did get reused (as trash bag). That amount, vs on of those converted tires, full up, when renting, twice a week, or a standard roadside trash bin, full up once a week, almost. If most things home cooked, few processed foods/packaging, then you won't generate much trash. We wait for low to no air pollution day, no wind, the burn our trash, hence the 4 months' worth. Pretty sure the municipality does the same, since no landfills around, or worse, gets dumped in the sea. So we take the latter option away from them. If you have any yard or garden of any size, then you'll use your compost. If not, just give to someone who will or spread roadside somewhere, and the plants will be happy you did.

Seriously ... oh I see, it's just a coincidence, that statement is just before the news-blip. No implication there. How could we misconstrue that one

They closed that plant, but they are far from out of the solar game ... wiki: Certainly not being incognito about it:

Oh crap ... don't believe everything you read. I'm wearing rose tinted shades. OMG, everything is beautiful ... I LIED .. the water comes out brown and smells, when and if it does. And we have solar, because the power is so inconsistent, fluctuates, and we're on our 3rd TV in one year because of the surges. I'm in town now, using an internet shop, as no service at the house. Pollution is horrendous, and if thugs don't mug you, the soi dogs attack. On my 3rd set of rabies shots, but at least they are 'safe & effective' The kicker ... no nightlife or hookers that part is true

60 baht for a scooter taxi, and hope it wasn't one of those short rides down a long soi, so you don't have walk it. That's only a 20 baht fare, if that. Tipping 40 on a 60 baht fare (66%) ... oh well. Could ride in AC comfort for that, unless avoiding rush hour traffic.

Noticed that also. Guess it might be reserved for AI or ChaiGPT generated news, as seems all that's posted lately. Some of the 'dramatization' of it is a bit ridiculous. Definitely not written by humans, especially Thais.

Yea, first three airlines / 3 years, I was on the customer service end (ticket & gate). All of NWA, 13 yrs, was ground operation, and never, very rare, talked to customers. Customer do try to get under your skin, but fail miserably when it comes to me. Also best not to piss off the guy that controls where you're sitting. I'll stick you A$$ in front of exit row, where seat doesn't recline, or the bulkhead, with no leg room. Next to the toilet is always a choice seat. You have connecting flight, let me put you in the very back of the plane, in between those 2 fat people, or that screaming kid ...

Did I quote the OP, and state 'he' was complaining. Just a general reference to those that do, and the forum is full of them. Some might think, if they weren't complaining, they wouldn't be posting. OP, new member, new troll ??? All of 4 posts, 2 consisting of a title & photo. One might suspect click bait to boost traffic & postings You are correct though, some people are unable to tell the difference.

Have you forgiven NATO countries for their invade & occupy for 10-15 yrs in Iraq & Afghanistan ? Still have some military in Iraq & Syria today.

Rural is subjective, as I consider ourselves living 'rural', as closest neighbor is 100+ meters away, and if not for the building 'boom' the past year of so, then the 'village' is one small intersection, with about 5 buildings (house & vendor). BUT ... we're 3.2 kms from Makro, and a real town (1 square km), just beyond that has everything, except the congestion of metro area. Not like we have to travel far to go shopping. Have good water pressure and PEA rarely, almost never, cuts out. No nightlife, no real bars that depend on alcohol sales. Just restaurants that serve alcohol. Just the way we like it. Unlike living rural at Udon Thani, as both houses were 15+ kms from town & school for the kid, with a car being almost mandatory to stock up, and rainy days. No neighbors when built, but now both houses have neighbors, after 10 yrs from our build. NO, I couldn't live in the many places we drive through when O&A, where they are isolated at least 25 kms away for anything, all directions, if not much further. You would need a truck to stock up every month.

As stated earlier, nothing in that new-blip states panels were from China. But feel free to write the news for us. No anti China hate here WARNING: some of us know how to read More CH Hater will spread the word ... The brainwashing continues Facebook haters not to be out done, although 1 got it correct... Thinking out loud ... would the govt really contract an Aussie company to install solar system using solar panels from China, when AU is a leading manufacturer of. And some key player names at that;

Chinese ... nothing in the blip states that ... "all the solar panels on the roof" caught fire." Not exactly all, or even close: Maybe AU could catch up to the rest of the real world when installing large solar systems. "User / install error" Below paraphrased from here: "In solar, rapid shutdown is a safety feature that quickly turns off or reduces the current of a rooftop PV system in case of an accident or emergency. It does this to stop an electrical arc from forming that can cause fires or deliver a lethal electric shock. James Sturch, a technical director at inverter and energy storage giant SolarEdge says Australia lags behind the rest of the world on basic solar system safety measures like these. “Many countries around the world, such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Poland, Thailand, and others have already successively introduced rapid shutdown regulations to solve the safety issues associated with uncontrollable DC in solar PV systems,” “Currently in Australia there is nothing in place, or even being considered within the Standards process, or by safety or electrical regulators, which is as backwards as it sounds.”

I guess she really wanted that parking spot. I would have picked one closer to the entrance door myself. Amazing nobody got hurt on the ground.

Big oil & auto manufacturer will do anything to keep their keep their profits, and why China is the leader in BEVs and the solar industry. https://thedriven.io/2024/05/14/nearly-all-major-car-companies-are-sabotaging-ev-transition-and-japan-is-worst-study-finds/

Another reason why I don't fly anywhere. 3 hr for international flights and 2 hrs for domestic flights.

16 years of working for airlines (gate agent/ramp agent), and I've never seen one placed in the cabin. Or allowed one to be taken in. And I was the guy that checked it at the door and put in the cargo bay, and took it out and brought it up to the door when aircrafts arrived at destination. Unless something has changed, they don't go in the cabin. Quick Google, and things may have changed, but I've never seen one in the cabin. Take note, required to take '1' Along with I've never seen one that would fold up to go in the overheard or under the seat From USA Dept of Transport:

No place to store in cabin of plane, and you can't use on the aircraft anyway. Think you missed the point, that they simply take when you board the aircraft, and give it back to you when you land, as you leave the aircraft..
