COD for us, avoids any issues ... ... not received (never happened though) ... damaged on arrive (happened once, but not obvious, refunded) ... no wait for refund, though TBH, easy enough ... not a problem being here, as no schedule and tracking lets you know the day it will arrive ... one 'flash & kerry' driver knows us so well, that if not here, leaves parcel (s), and rings/msg the wife, to transfer funds, if she missed the initial call.

You have to ask .. ... fresh air ... blue, clear or overcast skies, anything better than polluted haze ... everything green again, instead of dusty & crunchy ... lakes & ponds have water ... maybe some good boomers & a lightshow

I never care what people think, and certainly not trying to impress strangers. Ugly ... subjective. Way too cool and looks like something from 'Lost is Space'. Me & Sniffy the Wonder Dog, cruising surfside ... oh yea. Windows down, blasting "Who Let the Dogs Out" or "Fly Like and Eagle" ... smoking a doobie ROCK ON

Too silly priced in TH.

Gelato is good, if same chain that was here / TH. Tasty stuff

Stated already, newer BEV don't need cobalt, and like ours, are using LFP chemistry. Your phone, laptop and other battery operated electronics are probably still using though. Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.

Swensen's ... nuff said

Agree, and that why we have air purifiers. Keeps it in low single digits, if not -0-. Now, AQI 49 & PM2.5 @ 19 or ~4X healthy.

I think they are doing the same here, getting in as much burning as they can. Hills in the distance are a blur, and AQI is in the 70s About a month or so ago, I thought it was all over, as a week of AQI 25-50. We even waited for a non windy day to burn all our saved up trash, and all of 1 wheel barrel full Lite rain in the forecast next week, 50% chance, but I doubt it. Amphur could use some water though, and it's a trickle coming out of the faucet during the day. Seems to be restricted from 0900 - 1800 hrs. Had to use the water tanks the past couple days, during the day.

I'm finding that hard to believe. As when my daughter had an acne problem, that the skin clinics couldn't or wouldn't clear up, actually getting worse, in a year. I put her on birth control, a couple skin ointments, and an antibody for about 6 weeks, and cleared it all up. The birth control did the complete opposite of what you are implying, and balanced her hormones. Probably the largest factor causing the acne. Do agree, some woman can't take the pill, or possible didn't try different ones. Or other non pill options. If your sex habits are high risk of pregnancy, maybe you should adapt, and ease up on the intercourse. Your body, your choice ... your choice to be responsible, or deal with the consequences.

Thanks, but not on a budget, just a thrifty shopper. Already have our silly priced, shy of ฿!M BEV. Not really a car person, so 1M for for 4 wheels is crazy. But it is what it is. And will eventually pay for itself long term. I really like the Wuling, wish it was better priced or better spec'd. Great for my very local driving. Actually like this better, but not available here.

Yep ... especially if money involved. After I threw the 1st wife out of the house, she got a silly offer to sell, and they asked me to sign off my usufruct. I said no, since not splitting with me, and would buy me out, for what I spent. Nice break even & I'd be done. I was looking over my shoulder for a while

No way could I ever live there. Udon Thani was bad enough, and at worst, was just 100-150 AQI range. Here/PKK, and only a couple months, if that, hit's or breaks 100 AQI.

Only $113k About the cost of our land, house (w/greenhouse garden). w/ solar system, and our EV. Very nice, but some of us poor folks live in the real world. Note to self: don't put Champaign class on hood. And that's the price in China. ... "Nio ET9 start preorders for 112,800 USD, deliveries set to early 2025"

Along with trucks sitting higher than most salon / hatchback cars, sub compact, compact cars

Thanks, more of a minor surgery than I thought. THANKS

A new twist to the dangers of jaywalking. Follow the rules & laws, and sh!t usually doesn't happen. Overpass walkway wasn't that far away.

Was that done at govt or private hosp ? 270k for surgery seems quite reasonable.

I don't even think he's in TH. Just another foreigner that thinks their existence, if in TH, is relevant, and supporting all Thai society

It's you ... ... If I had to deal with some the these idiot foreigners all day, I wouldn't be happy either. I receive what I project. Expect others to get the same results, so a bit of .... som nam naa

We have a 'smart' TV, only because hard to find one that wasn't. We have yet to use the direct to TV's wifi or cable, since we don't subscribe to any channels or cable services. Simply use the laptop via hdmi, and the TV is my monitor & vid viewer of torrents. Using the laptops wifi. Since basically no other way to access media, you will need some sort of wifi, or subscription service. I need a keyboard & mouse, hence via the laptop, and not going to try to negotiate the menus on TV with remote. Too frustrating. Same with phone actually, and rarely use for anything other the GPS/mapping while O&A or as knock around camera. Assuming everyone has wifi at the house, or on phone, and can 'hotspot' that if needed, though could get expensive it the phone is all you have. Wifi is a must at the house, and too inexpensive not to have. Fast internet, cable/wifi at house is only 631 baht a month via TOT, unlimited. Possibly other vendors & promotions cheaper, if not needing fast, unlimited.

I apparently drive more average miles / kms than the rest of the world drivers. You want to call that low ... UP2U

Did not agree they are low, simply 'retirement / leisure' kms. You need to work on your reading comprehension. Of course, as suspected, you are wrong, 22.5k kms a year is not low. Comparison to the world's drivers, we seem to drive HIGH mileage/kms, even more than them pesky Yanks ... big surprise Our driving, 20k + 2.5k = 22.5k kms Our miles / kms driving:

As with all travel, road, rail or air, timing is everything. We don't go to Krung Thep on Sunday, or Krung Thep to PKK on Friday night or Saturday. Let the weekenders have that gridlock to themselves. Been stuck in 'weekenders' traffic a couple times, to/from Patts & HH ... lesson learned. Nothing in either location worth that hassle. Sure as hell don't drive or even take public trans during rush hour in the metros, especially Krung Thep. Easy for us, as no work or school schedule that only affords weekends off.
