Yea, it probably was, you just didn't notice it, or use the info available to know it. I was quite ignorant myself, and didn't realize how bad the air was at Udon Thani for years. Had a few reality checks, top level of parking garage @ Central Plaza different times of the year. Almost a 360° view, and rainy season can see all the hills, vs smog season, when you wouldn't even know they were there. Same with 2nd house build, having a 2nd story, and could see the ridges of the hills to the west toward Nong Bua LamPhu, during rainy season, and again, non existent during smog season. Most people at street level, can't tell, or if not at higher vistas, during both seasons. IGNORANCE IS BLISS ... then the reality kicked in, and I couldn't wait to leave, and go south for cleaner air. Still get the 75-100 AQI a couple months. Even when not that bad, the PM2.5 still is, as now, and air purifiers are on in the house. Outside locally and AQI is 62, but PM2.5 is 19 µg/m³ ... ... "PM2.5 concentration is currently 3.8 times the World Health Organization annual PM2.5 guideline value" ... XiaoMi to the rescue ...

Kudos to the PoPo ... well done 👍

Love how someone who can't deal with his demons / reality, dictates how his failures to cope, and need to escape, has anything to do with other's ability. Marijuana is not addicting. Habit forming, maybe, as so many, non stimulating things in life are also. Also not an entry drug to stronger. Alcohol was for me, and everyone I know, as first drug any of us used. That one really impairs your judgement if you let it, then you may experiment with others. I don't know anyone who started with marijuana, as an entry drug. Many, never decided to go further into stimulants after marijuana, knowing they were addictive, if abused.

Yes, sitting there trying to figure out all the different species of vehicles ... and all the different looking parasites inside 😎

Main reason I took my daughter out of nursery / kindergarten school, and home schooled her till 2nd semester of 1st grade. Too many snakes, and nobody paying attention. That and the cycle of being sick, stay home a week, return, get sick again, and repeat. Other parents not keeping kids home when sick. NO THANKS She learned more in 1 hour at home, than a week at school.

I did an 'unscientific' test of kWh per minute, and simply timed the % upticks by minute, and very consistent, up to 90+%, then at ~95%, drops off significantly. The ZS agreeing as the estimated finish time keeps moving, longer. That last 5% can take 15-20 minutes. We are also sitting in the car with the AC on, at the finishing up point. AC is usually on the whole time at CS, as wife, dog and or myself are in the car almost all the time. Rare the AC is every off, and only if using PEA and there's a provided AC sitting area. I am surprised the site is so far off, on the kWh / 100 kms rating. As rarely do we exceed 14kWh / 100 kms. Even @ 14, that's 330 kms range per charge, using 46.3kWh as useable capacity, and exceeds WLTP's 320 rating. That's highway speeds, 90 kph when possible. 110 ish when allowed, and balanced by stopping for cross traffic and slow traffic. On longer journeys, if we average 80 kph, over 3+ hrs, then we're happy.

Smart folks, as I don't know any LGB folks that agree with the rest of the alphabet soup. More simply embarrassed by them. Nobody is transitioning to anything, except mental illness. You got 2 versions, M & F, and you don't get to pick. How you enjoy either is UP2U, but try not to tell people you're something else, as all you'll be then, is quite foolish.

With any luck, if he kills the trees, they'll now hang out on or above is vehicle 😎

On my experience of nor following that, pyramid advice, and how my body feels better, have more energy, and my blood work numbers are markedly improved. Blood work simply verifies how I feel, since basically doing almost complete opposite of the food pyramid. High protein & fat, and very low starchy carbs & sugar. Cheeses as snacks instead of high sugar fruits. As I've stated many times, a Keto ish diet now.

Nothing new about it, but does seem to be getting a bit of press, with more enforcement and scrutiny now. Aside from the businesses that do that, for foreigners to have, more than a few folks do the same, when building, buying a home. Personally never understood the logic of a large investment, made illegally, and risk of losing if & when caught. Along with, not even having full control of that asset, as only allowed to own 49% of said company. as a foreigner, in most cases.

If taking a break along the Gulf of Thailand, looking at, instead of playing in, may be a safer experience. This is locally, PKK municipality, 100 kms south of Hua Hin, 170 kms north of Thung Wua Laen beach, Chumphon. BE SAFE

That's not our experience. Their range chart is way off also. When we can do 90 kph, rare, but 2 stretches, we can do it consistently, PKK - Pranburi & Pkk - Chumphon. We average about 14kWh/100kms +/-, nothing like 18kWh/100kms

HomePro has a bed & bed selection/vendor, and probably where I'd start if looking for a new mattress. Medium price range ??? I would expect to pay ฿30k +/- for a new mattress, as that was the ballpark of last mattress we bought. Think that was about 15 yrs ago, if not longer, and still in fine shape. Worth every baht.

BEV ... range range range ... best answer

Yes ... time, not sure about now, but I think it only took one payment cycle/month, and it showed up my my account. That was a few years ago, before 2020, I think.

No, we will always be 'guests', and have to ask permission to stay, every year. I doubt if that will every change, and a good think ... for TH.

That depends on how many international (family) tourist actually return. If told & sold as a family friendly beach resort town, I'd be really disappointed ... actually P'd off big time. If told/sold as adult playground, then fairly spot on, as impossible to miss, and you don't need to go looking for it.

I like it, and hopefully that will become a standard thing. Would eliminate people not unplugging when done, rare. Hopefully, they stop charging @ 95%, as the last 5% simply takes too long. Instead of 5 ish mins, as <95% goes in at, it could be 20 mins, for that last 5% min of top up. Charging cable & Make/model dependent. Really is rude now to go to 100% is someone is waiting. Depending how far our next leg of the journey is, if not last stop, well leave anywhere from 80% and up, if someone is waiting.

Not really. Google nutritional facts for 100gr of.. ... AP flour ... Bread flour ... whole wheat flour ... & rye flour The rest is personal choice, (sugar & salt), if wanting to add and how much. My homemade bread has; flour, water, salt, yeast / 500g / 350g / 10g / 10-15g. Mixed flour usually, 50/50 bread/whole wheat, and occasionally, might add 10gr of sugar, depending on flour used & mix of. That's 10gr of sugar, for about a 825gr loaf of bread. So fairly irrelevant.

Fibrous veggies, and if needing a carb, I'm partial to egg noodles. Think stroganoff 😎

Yep, same same, though BP was only in the 140 ish range. Took all my higher end blood work numbers and made them excellent now.

Keep believing that ... Diets are unhealthy. Eating lifestyle, Keto for me, is very healthy. Y'all been told so many lies for so long, you believe them, food pyramid included .... IMHO

Neither ... Rye bread w/whole wheat flour 😎 If you must have bread. I still eat, homemade, and very sparingly. 1 loaf over 2 weeks (freezer) instead of 3 days

Yep ... perfect example is San Fran's $1.7 million public toilet. Emphasis on toilet (1), not toilets. A bit of outrage, and supposedly getting more, in that budget ... BUT, is there any left over ? The toilet and construction, though silly priced, wasn't the problem. The proposal, study, approval, regulation process, and all the BS, was the cost drivers. Some more silliness
