The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
KhunLA replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
Another informative, on topic, and why some sugars should definitely be avoided, or at best, in moderation. And that white sugar with equal parts fructose/glucose, may be a healthier choice, again in moderation, and in amounts you'll burn off, or it will turn to fat, and you will have a whole new problem. @6:10 of vid, gets past all the science & history, breaks down the important part, IMHO. Though never hurts to watch the whole vid, especially if having kids with asthma. -
Are we ? As most of that is submitted by health professional. And I believe investigated, as best as possible, I think. I believe I've post some numbers in the past, although using; IMHO, suspected or possible always helps not getting things deleted. Staggering numbers of suspected life changing side effects. Although more disturbing numbers (aside from deaths & life changing disabilities possibly caused by vaccines) were from the CDC itself, early on, when they came out and adjusted their numbers of death due to covid vs with covid. Scratching like 94% (?) of the deaths off the died from covid, and now simply 'suspected' of dying with covid. As most early deaths, were not even tested or verified to have covid. Simply have flu symptoms was enough to be listed as having covid. That info is on the CDC site, deep in it, and I've posted it a few times. The control of information on all aspects of this virus, before-during-after should disturb everyone with a thinking brain ... IMHO.

It's at a discount right now, part of the EV incentives, @ 20% of road tax. I think ours would fall in ฿260 line source

What kind of weather person are you ?
KhunLA replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
To the title, Actually prefer temperate zone, 4 seasons, if 2 aren't too brutal. Philly, PA, USA had lovely year round weather. Winter & summers not brutal. Since here/TH, prefer rainy season. Better temps, green, less air pollution. -

Just pointing out a car, is a luxury. Guess that went over your head. And can be a big chunk of some folks monthly income. Simply sitting in the carport, costs, and depreciates at the same time. Car don't do nothing for me. If fancy, upscale performance or ride, more than comfortably needed, then that cost is even higher. I don't get that much enjoyment out of owning things that depreciate. I probably spend more time than most in ours, but it's still ... just a car. Nothing I take that serious ... replying to the post that implied just that.

The Scooter that thinks it's an Electric Superbike !
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Depends if your purpose for owning is saving the planet. Me ... don't think the planet needs saving. All about saving baht for me, and performance. That it pollutes the local air a bit less, almost gives me that warm & fuzzy feeling. Especially when I'm behind smelling benzine & diesel vehicles on the scooter. Or simply walking about. Diesel owners should be ashamed of themselves, as they are directly affecting other folks' health, and in a negative way. It really does amaze me, that fuel is not banned for personal use, if not completely. -

KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
If you really wanted to save the planet, you'd be a subsistent farmer, and not even be on the internet, let alone own motorized transportation. Or at least live in a 15 minute city & walk. Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. -
That's a lone piece of string ? Doom & Gloom is always good, Look at drug companies the last few years. I started investing during the Y2K scam. Dumped just before 2000, as the scam was exposed then, and techs crashed. Had stocks doubling & splitting every 3-6 months. Then Bush2 got elected, and moved over to speculative oil stocks. I won't do defense contractors stocks ... I have some morals, though at the time, they were raking in huge profits. Cheney, go figure. I can't directly help people kill people. War & oil prices were inevitable. Didn't need to be genius to see that coming.

Not really, it's a machine, gets me from point A to B. That's all. Cars don't do much for me. Actually wish I didn't need one, but not really a metro kind of guy. It is one of my bigger money drains, and don't appreciate. Actually a silly expense, and understand why many enjoy living in metro area, and not having one. Considering the past 4 cars, easily 5-10k+/- a month luxury just to have, without out even putting petrol in it, and that entry level cars. Our Mazda 2 cost ฿515k 7 years later worth ฿100k So ฿415k÷7 yrs=฿59.28k÷12 months=฿5k a month add insurance ฿1k a month petrol about ฿3k a month Throw in some oil changes & tune-ups, and it cost about ฿10k a month over 7 years. ฿84k ÷ 135k kms = ฿0.62 per kms If you don't rack up the kms, then that per km rate goes up substantially. Not expensive, but not inexpensive, and that's if it doesn't need repairs. Entry level cars start @ ฿600k now

Why do most fail at any investing? Lack of education, planning, discipline. Why so many businesses fail the first 1 or 2 yrs, if lucky enough to last that long. For some reason, people get emotional about stocks, or simply greed. Set your sell/profit %, and you dump/loss %, and stick with it. Easy? NO, it's full time researching. Have the software to research, (info is king), and know what you are actually doing, buying, and why. Understand the trends, and most important, realize the stock market is nothing but a scam, to take advantage of ignorant newbie traders. If not simply holding long term for small gains, yearly. Once you realized that, it's very lucrative.

Yes, that thought crossed my mind, and with that, very happy we have an MG ???? We always top up on the outskirts of Krung Thep anyway, at the same MG dealer, and works out perfectly, since 280 kms away, and on the way to our usual hotel, only 19 kms away.

Danish Tony divorced his wife and married Thai transwoman Saiyan
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
People are that bored in the world, that someone announcing he's bisexual, or simply realized he's gay, actually gets follower and news-blips. Mind boggling, more so that I'm even commenting. Hey, another rainy day, just filling in time. I'm going to take a wild guess and suspect he always was, just never told or got caught by the wife ???? .
