Have you ever done a 'runner' and not paid a bill?
KhunLA replied to simon43's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Once at a restaurant at the New Jersey shore (USA), with a group of us. They didn't clue me in on that was their plan at the time. We did get to spend the night in jail, though on something unrelated. One of the best overnights I ever had. Along with one of the best times at the NJ shore. Actually the time spent in lock up ... go figure. Think I was 18 yrs old at the time, maybe. -
Stupid hybrid newbie questions (new Toyota Yaris Cross)
KhunLA replied to JTXR's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
You bought a car you know nothing about, and guessing did little to no research prior. Here 'link' to owner's manual in English -
Which members do you think are Russian/Chinese/NK etc bots?

Surprised nobody suggest me ... unless I missed it -
Took that a wee bit out of context ... did you miss the first sentence On 9/7/2023 at 8:57 AM, KhunLA said: "I handle/control the money, but she pays for everything. This way, I don't tip, as I would, and usually over tip, so not to offend anyone, either way, she pays all the time." Been married 2X here, both with large extensive families & friends, so I guess I can say I know a lot of Thais. Probably knocking on 75, maybe. But hey, what do I know. That post (mine) and follow up one (also mine) pretty much explains my 'tipping' thoughts. If misquoting me fits you spin, then have at it.

Apple Withdraws Ad Amid Thai Backlash, Extends Apology
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not an Apple fan, but I thought it was well done. Maybe the locals should have a word with the authority that gave permission & approved it -
Yea, I was liking 40 when I got here in 2000, even knocked on 46 for a short while. As low as 28 also, so 30 to 35 will have to do. Arriving just after their crash, so it, the THB could only get stronger. So anything above 35 for the USD is quite nice. The spanking from the EU for Brexit screwed y'all royally. Brexit ...

Men dominating 'Women's Sports @ Paris Olympics'
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
Women are usually going to lose, as stated, if sport is based on strength & endurance. Saw this, and a bunch of 'retired' soccer player, playing against, supposedly some of the best women, in their prime. Too funny ... they get spanked, and not in a good way. -
That was too easy ... try this ... "No one likes us I don't know why We may not be perfect But heaven knows we try But all around Even our old friends put us down Let's drop the big one And see what happens"

What's behind the current THB strength?
KhunLA replied to KhunBENQ's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I never think it's about THB strength, and more about other currencies weakening. Can only speak about the USD, and govt keeps printing money and accumulating more debt. That certainly has to lower the value of the USD. -
From a different EV thread, but more appropriate to those interested about the availability of CS in TH. https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/page/258/#comment-19115356

Yea, we get out and about a wee bit. Coming up on 2 years (Oct) of owning our MG ZS. These are our O&A so far. Yet to have an issue finding and charging while out. Surprisingly, yet to need to Q up at a charger. Pulled in once, and both slots were taken, but by the time we peeked at app to find the next, one slot opened up. We just got back from Rangsit, to visit daughter, and Ratchaburi, this past 3 day weekend, traveling both Sat & Mon, and surprisingly, no Qs at CS. We live about 1.5 hrs south of Hua Hin, just outside PKK municipality. Hence the amount of 'local' exploring along the immediate area/gulf coast. No need to hotel or CS, if round trip less than 250-300 kms. Which easily gets us to Hua Hin and back. Or the top of Chumphon province. First year owning, put on just shy of 20k kms, with 11k of those, I think, away from the house, requiring charging stations. Last 9 months, and more than half were put on away from the house, though only drove about 12k kms so far. Also have an E-MC, coming up on 3 years now, and that's got about 6800 kms on it, mostly short trips around town. Daily park & surf runs with the dog, weather permitting. They are only 8-15 kms. Google timeline keeps track of our journeys, or used to. I had to add 2 dots to Ratchaburi area, as no longer can pull up a 'yearly' map.

Keep printing money and assuming debt and your money value goes down. Don't know about bombing. For USD, that would be <฿30 / $1, last seen Jan 2021 For GBP, maybe around the ฿38, last seen Jan 2020, or ฿39, just back at Jan 2023. Bit of a roller coaster. GBP been pretty comfy ฿40-45 the past 4 ish years. Wouldn't expect it to go lower or higher. Anything higher, simply enjoy while it last. Same with USD, seems happy ฿30-35. Higher is always nice, but usually doesn't last long.

Unless of course, the VPN is operated by NSA, CIA, MI5/6, Interpol or who knows by. 2024 ... there is NO privacy Unless you drive an older ICEV, don't use a phone and or internet. And pay with cash.

And here I thought this topic was about EVs. Will these ICE be put in hybrids ?

Very nice ... Wish something like that was available when we were installing solar at the house. Especially an ES model, as not been released that long ago. That one really cheap price for 51kWh of ESS. A lot less than our 20kWh of ESS 👍👍

Close enough, but here, Makro/ARO eggs ... #1 / 150 baht, #0 / 163 baht @ Hua Hin & PKK (municipality), as of yesterday. Possibly a different supplier

Have some new socks but I won't wear them in public

Permanent Sharpee black maker ... solved. -
It would be funny as all hell if they picked someone else. Although she would really have to stumble pretty far before the DNC. She's the MSM darling at the moment, and probably should be happy no debate before the DNC. They / DNC really don't have anyone to pull out of the hat at this late in the game, with the name recognition, or the progressiveness of many thinking a mixed raced woman as President, would be so cool, no matter her past failings & record.

Apparently you have the reading comprehension problem, not myself. Why debate with someone who is not the official Dem candidate. Did that once already, and his time could have been spent elsewhere. Just utilizing and managing his time responsibly. What you want in a President. Debates use to happen, after the candidate were appointed. I guess this is why.

Men dominating 'Women's Sports @ Paris Olympics'
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
Pretty sure the men competing in women's sports will dominate, most if not all that they are allowed to compete in. Any sport based on strength or endurance. No sense in really watching women's sports with men competing, or women even competing against them. As long as they keep allowing men in, women's sport is pretty much dead. Not seeing the headlines of women in men's sports .... go figure -
I go with 6L per bag ... 835gr / 165gr ratio. Rich & Creamy Yes, a bit cheaper if getting a box of 12 bags online, as local price is silly here per bag (Dairy Rich). ฿2699+170 = ฿2869 ÷ 12 ÷ 6 = ฿39.83 / Liter
