Yep ... why I'm glad I'm here, and hope the Dems win 2024 Do you really think I care what goes on 14,000 kms away ... ... ME ME ME You elect idiots, you get failed policies ... Som nam na

Any responsible person can indulge whenever they want, by just using a little common sense. That the harsh criminality of smoking a doobie has been removed, makes things easier for everyone. Nothing has really changed, except the price, depending how ignorant you are. It's simply cheaper now. Was easy enough to find and smoke before declassified. Not much has changed in the 55 yrs of me indulging, except the legality and quality of it. The last thing an 'honest' police officer wants to do, is waste his time processing a ganga smoker

Yes, COLA is BS, but good if needing some type of reference, how the administration affect everyday living for the working stiff. In the USA anyway, not so much here if one is retired, or even married, as 800k or 400k to live here/TH, is easy enough, if not having health issues and you know how to say 'NO'. The economy is what's on most people's mind. Is the administration's policies "making things worse or better for me.' That's all people really care about ... folks tire of being 'working class heroes'

Must be both 😂 not sure, but rarely had, have a problem finding like minded people, when out on the prowl. If the chickie initiates the 'hello', then makes things easy. When on the prowl myself, easy to tell after saying hello, if they also are on the prowl. It's what we do at night time. Daytime may require a bit more thinking & effort. Woman aren't that much different from men, no matter how much TV or media tries to tell you they are. Once you realize that as a youngin, does make things easier. Life is easy, people make it difficult.

I've never had a woman ask for anything, except provide a good time. YMMV

Gun hugger that I am, that statement is quite accurate. (for the record, I'm anti-NRA) You are faced with a bad guy with a gun ... how would you stop he/she/it ? Apparently all the police, laws and prison sentences aren't stopping bad people from getting firearms. A total ban on firearm sales & ownership in the USA wouldn't stop criminals from having firearms. You can't stop drug trafficking, you can't stop human trafficking, so how are you going to stop the firearms from being available to criminals. Police rarely stop crime, and simply take a report after the fact. You wake up in your house, and realize there is someone in your house with a gun ... now what ? Don't know about you, but I'd be grabbing my firearm.

How to stay in TH illegally ... more quality tourist. Inspiration for others to arrive and stay illegally. Travel insurance ?

That's a long piece of string. Most hotels will consider a 10 yr, an adult. Some may or may not charge adult fee for extra bed. August is a bit too far away to give an accurate price, unless you actually want to book something. Booking.com will take booking for August. I'm not a fan of paying in advance. You can at least get some ballpark ideas of price from booking.com for August. Which is still off / rainy / low season, so surf will probably be red flagged.

I can tell you almost exactly how much, since I owned both the MG ZS EV & ICE. Local driving of 360 kms, kWh & petrol cost: MG ZS EV / ICE ฿231 / ฿925 per 360 kms EV using 46.3kwh @ ฿5 per kWh ... high #, as nobody pays that much ... ฿347 if have to use CS @ ฿7.5 per kWh ICE using 25.71 L of 91 @ ฿36 per Liter ... less than yesterday's price

Even better, get one of the DECO E-MC, <30K baht, and charging no problem, as the battery is removable with the 1000w motors, and can charge in your condo/apartment. Perfect for knocking around locally. I don't even need a car locally, except if raining.

Mirage (entry level POS) is way out classed by the Atto 3, not even close. Mirage: ,,, maxi output of 78 horsepower at 6,000 rpm ... peak torque of 100 NM at 4,000 rpm Atto 3 ,,, 201 hp ... torque of 310Nm. Compare the Atto 3 to something at least close to the performance, or even the same size (dimensions). Mirage ... H 1345mm, W 1585mm, L 3790mm Atto 3 ... H 1615mm, W 1875mm, L 4455mm

That was only for the first month, first week of April 2020, I think, when everything was suppose to be shut down. We went O&A anyway, as there was no enforcement, that we noticed where we are or went. Just looked at my timeline, and we went to Chumphon April 9, 2020. Hotels were a bit hard to find open, so we didn't go far the first month. After that, most place ignored the 'no travel/stay closed' advise, except for the major inter'l tourist areas. Local surfside shops all closed, and stayed closed, as they catered to vacationers, mostly Thai actually, but they were obeying the 'no travel advise'. One street over, running parallel, and all normal, after first week, as that's where the locals shop & ate. Too funny actually, as remember others on formal complaining what's closed in there area, or crying about others being out and not shuttering in. And I was thinking after the first week, all was normal. That said, I wouldn't know where to get a haircut anyway, as been cutting my own for about 15 yrs. Yep, back on topic.

Quite a few more; ... stock market test crash ... stock market crash ... Korea ... Vietnam ... my lifetime now ... no oil / shortages ... classic, rinse & repeat ... WMD ... economic collapse (bail outs) ... MMCD, melting ice caps (still waiting) ... rising seas (elite & politician live where ? ) ... now WW III, evil RU & CH Hook Line & Sinker I may never get a haircut ... always on topic

There was a pandemic ? That's why the beaches were empty during high season.

Hell yea ... loved being single here. And it has nothing to do with the income disparity, OK, maybe a little. OK, maybe a lot more now, as I'm older. But I smiled a lot back in the USA also, so not really that much of a difference. Except there, I usually had to initiate saying 'Hello' first. I think a lot has to do with being foreigner also (away from tourist areas), as same in the USA, an gals would go 'ga ga' over guys with accents. Before that wee bit of salt & pepper, turned into a lot salt, less pepper, here/TH, and I always looked 5-10 yrs younger anyway, it's was fun being single. Advantage of not being an Alky, chain smoker or sun worshiper. Others my age always seemed to look old. Don't know why anyone wants to, or needs to, go the P4P route. I do, but I'll be kind, and give y'all the benefit of the doubt. Only reason would be to pay, is for them to leave in the morning, which I never wanted them to. Some of the best fun is after waking up.

Some things, I'd rather just buy at 7-11. Although has a better Pandan flavor, a PITA to make, and now have about 10X of what a serving is at 7-11 (weight wise), and really don't need to have this sitting here. Guess I could freeze half till next month.

HEY ... you been peeking in the window ... I look smokin' hot in that red chiffon number, as it just clings and shows all those curves. Work it girlfriend ... 🤣

The news blip wasn't about thunderstorms or 'rough seas' in the NE. Let that part sink in

Throw an insect into the web and watch it do its thing. Pretty cool

You could actually read the link: "The southern region, facing the east coast, can anticipate thunderstorms in 20% of the area, predominantly impacting provinces including Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat. The eastern seaboard from Surat Thani upwards will face northeast winds of 20-35 km/h with 2-metre high waves, increasing beyond 2 metres during thunderstorms. Conversely, the southern region facing the west coast is forecasted to have thunderstorms in 10% of the area, mainly affecting provinces like Ranong, Phang Nga, Phuket, and Krabi, with daytime temperatures heating up."

Why would one apologize for such an accurate statement .. IMHO ... oh wait, I know, so in income is stopped when you get cancelled

The wife of course, especially since I've been exploring my non-binary cross dressing, black Asian identity. I feel so free, now that I'm woke. I'll let her carry that white cis male guilt around for a while ...

Only 48 ... the year is starting off slow. Yearly event during every celebration of a 'Championship' win, along with a riot and looting usually. What better way to celebrate than the gift free sh!t

I have not, as I'm usually just sitting on a park bench away from people (ELGWBI) Booster shot #8, masked up & social distancing, all recommended by the AN paranoid health experts, and thankfully has kept me alive... IMHO Occasionally I sit curbside, if park benches are full of fellow social distancing folks. I figure sucking in diesel exhaust will kill any of the virus that has made it past my mask. EVs will be the ruin of mankind, no exhaust to kill the viruses we breathe in ... IMHO
