Scam Threat Grows in Thailand: Expats and Locals at Risk
Scams are easy to avoid. Not on my contact list, I cancel the call. Hard to believe some of the silliness people fall for.

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?
USA interfered with Korea & Vietnam's peace process. Cheney's administration and the invasion of Iraq & Afghanistan ... the worse USAid / CIA regime changes, too many, and most simply rushed the normal process of change. Aside from that, USA bought most of it's expansion, from Spain, France & Russia. Even the Virgin Islands. Not sure about Micronesia + area. As far as the 'natives' living there before the New World was discovered, well, they were pretty brutal to each other, had their little conflicts going, rape, pillage & slavery. Them spoils of war. An OK history, especially compared to other oppressive 'empires'.

The double yolks continue, from previous tray of eggs. Hard boiled the last 7 or so, and 2 doubles so far, with 3 left. 20+ double yolks from that tray of 30. Present new tray of 30, and only 7 left, and not 1 double yolk. This egg wasn't even average weight, 70 gr- Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)

We hit Swensen's yesterday (2 for 1 Tuesday), and that's at the Lotus's mall, which is pretty much the last stop for anything heading south. This an hour / 100 kms pass and south of Hua Hin, with Chomphon, a few more hours pass us, at Muang, PKK. Very rural till hitting Chumphon, shy of 200 kms away, with exception of a few small beach towns. Almost nothing but trucks on Hwy 4, heading south. Still the normal mix of trucks & cars in northbound lanes. Also yesterday and today, much less traffic in town. Local PTT on Hwy 4 still out of 91/95. Guessing the PTT in town is out also, as Q'd up yesterday. Expect a very slow, BKK'ers weekend at surfside, as get more than a few, that tire of Hua Hin's congestion & pricing. Happy Days for us 🙄- What are you cooking today? (2025)
Stir fry veggies, which we always have in the fridge, along with some kind of stew / slow cooked meat. Don't want y'all all the think all we eat is eggs, animal protein & wraps. Far from any strict carnivore or keto diet. No way we could stick to those. But don't stray too far or too long from, as healthy eating as possible.- Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?
I obviously bash the USA enough myself, but not ashamed of being a citizen of. As most people are down to earth, just living everyday, and keep to themselves. Stop watching MSM, as most citizens, even illegal immigrants are nothing like portrayed. Or ashamed to call themselves Yanks. We simply don't have any birthright 'royals' living off their subjects because they think they are entitled to. Or established something as oppressive as the East India Company, to rape the world of free market living existence.- Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?
USA history is bad enough, I certainly wouldn't want centuries of oppressing so many other cultures / countries. Bad enough the New World had to tolerate it for ~100+ yrs. British Empire nothing to be proud of ... IMHO Sadly, not alone in that aspect.- Fake protein powders in Thailand
Last and first time I bought Creatine, it was only 20% off. For me, it last a long time, as only take ~1 tsp / 3gr a day.- Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?
The last thing I would want, is the Crown's 'Code of Arms' on anything, as simply represent their elitist birthright oppression they've exercised for centuries over their subjects. Not much different than Thai emblem on PP. USA represents 'Peace & Strength', Olive branch & Eagle w/arrows. Although there may be a change in the future ...- Bus Crash in Cha-Am Injures Dozens of Passengers
Geez people ... maybe at the time he went to the right, there was slower traffic in the left lane. And before he could get back over, sometimes not an easy task for a bus, some idiot passed him too close. I'm guessing many of you have never driven larger vehicles, and don't realize how stupid & inconsiderate some 4 wheelers are. Very few yield when a bus or truck is trying to change lanes, as 15 or 30 seconds out of their day is just too much to sacrifice to be courteous.- Fake protein powders in Thailand
Buy from iHerb, and they should be authentic supplements. I only buy from iHerb for that reason. Order 1400 thb worth, and shipping is free, though still a VAT & duty due, and prepaid. My problem is, I only take / order a couple, and only when 20% or more discount, and with their 2 pcs max of any product per order, I sometimes have a hard time hitting 1400, if out of the larger quantity container. I think a lot of shoppers have same mindset, as larger sizes seem to sell out fast.- Fake protein powders in Thailand

Yea, that could be a problem, although, with the 1 TBH increase in price overnight, (91 / 95), I'm curious if the PTT (on Hwy 4) that said the didn't have any yesterday, will be pumping today. The other, much smaller station, surprising was still pumping yesterday ... hmm- Phuket Motorists Rush to Gasoline Stations Over Fuel Price Surge

When talking E-scooter, you need to be very specific about what you mean. As that means 3 different things to me. If meaning E Motorcycle, need to state that. Even though MB / MC with a foot platform are called scooters. Many wil confuse it with already mentioned Xiaomi Elite scooter, or and E-bike, with or without foot pedals, as so many models now. If looking for Motorbike/ Motorcycle, then take a peek at DECO line, as they offer 1000w, 2000w & 3000w motor sizes. A few AN members already own (inclusive) and seem happy with them. Govt EV incentive (voucher) applies to them also, last time I peeked. https://decogreenenergy.com/index.php/en/- Best cookware -
On topic and informative to someone interested in cookware, the I'd yes. Surely not as helpful as your trolling though. I'd say, keep up the good work, but know I don't need to.- Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)

That's for another fine contribution to the forum. That really should help people choose what cookware would be best for them.- What's your Status on Fuel (petrol, diesel) in your area?
