If the one in vid I posted above, then just as labeled ... Asian Koel

They're joking right ... I remember it took 4 hrs, and that was 20+ years ago, and not an express train. "The recently inaugurated dual track train line, which includes the new elevated train station in Hua Hin, is a significant enhancement to the existing rail network.

It would explain a lot to a lot of people ... ... although ignorance is BLISS, or so I read/hear. With that, we probably shouldn't discuss the subject in the future, if you don't understand the basics of the economics/profits of keeping ICEVs on the road as long as possible. And who that benefits, and it certainly isn't the end customer buying the ICEVs.

Did you ever watch "Who killed the electric car?" It's eye opening. Should be mandatory viewing for anyone debating who controls, in part or whole, the auto industry.

There's sharks in the Gulf ? It's a sculpture, not a documentary. No different that that Naga everywhere, or the guy hanging on that damn Cross. If this doesn't scare them out of the surf, nothing will: All the times I've been to HH, and didn't realize there was a statue there already

Very nice ... shh ... don't tell anyone Pleasant change from 16/17 yr at Udon Thani. Never really warmed up to KK, though use to pop in when USA Embassy was visiting KK, years past for notary service/income affidavit. Was always a nice treat to stay at Sofitel, now Raja something. Lakeside area was OK, but the rest didn't do much for me. You do still have an very nice restaurant, out by the airport. Greenleaf Hydrofarm & Restaurant 👍👍

FB Marketplace would be my 1st place to peek.

I understand that distinction, but probably supply some of the parts, and get their franchise fee, so yes, profits all around.

Didn't cook anything today ... but ... ... on a Kefir kick, and first batch turned out very good, and surprisingly, I like the flavor. Fermented milk doesn't have the best ring to it, but it's quite nice. Got the grains (20gr @ ฿616) from LAZ, let it ferment for 30 hrs @ room temp, 22-27C, and wrap with towel when AC on and overnight. Can be made with milk powder, and testing that with 2nd batch. Needs to be about 12gr Carbs/Lactose content, which it is (14gr ?). Actually more than DutchMill which I used for 1st batch.

I'm way below KK, down at Amphur Muang, Prachuap Khiri Khan. You could always try making it. Like Mozzarella, it seems easy enough.

I'm neither right nor left or support any candidate. I don't vote, as find it a total waste of time. But I can think for myself. Live life for me, the way I want, and what works for me. Might be within their laws ... or not. I don't care. I live with my decisions. To quote some famous person ... "If voting influenced anything, they wouldn't allow people to vote" ... or along those lines.

All of them at the dealerships, and supplying the part. Come on, you're killing me here. I expect these kind of replies from 'transam'

Yes I know, but amazingly, I've never had a car die from the inside out, rings and or piston wear, that the abrasive 'residue' would effect. Oil did its job just fine as dirty as it was. Now they want you to replace squeaky clean for no other reason than to sell it. And if not doing yourself, charge you for the privilege. It really is silly, especially to an old hand at maintaining my cars in the past, before coming to TH. I basically did everything and almost anything one could think of, including whole engine swap outs. Almost easier than replacing that starter or alternator where the last bolt just won't line up and go in

Seriously ... we'll definitely have to agree to disagree on that. They make money on both, sale of the part, and labor to install it, above and beyond their actual cost.

I would think any larger Tops, the one at Central Plaza would have. Our Makro has, and we're not exactly full of expats here, but restaurants need, that serve any Italian fare.

Those #s only benefit the few vested in. The rest have to deal with the highest inflation that any recent administration has placed on the country with their failed policies. COLA adjustment are a great gauge of that, and what most have to live with. Biden's inflation ... BS low as they all are, but a good gauge:

Profit on labor to replace your oil, spark plugs, filters, fluids, on just regular maintenance to keep it running. That's without labor to replace worn out parts, components that don't last, batteries, starter, generator/alternator. I take the EV in @ 10k kms, they plug in, change a filter, and tell us all is good. Same @ 20k .... and onward, for almost life of the car. ICEV ... @ 10K oil change, profit, @ 20k, another, profit, and every 10k kms onward. Then @ 40 or 50k, tune up (plugs +)_, profit & so on. That's without something malfunctioning. Timing belt every 70-90k if having. Exhaust system will fail eventually, and parts, muffler, cat converter, pipe will rust, and all needing replacement with added parts & labor profit. Yea, they hate the idea of EVs being almost maintenance free in comparison. Big money out the window. Aside from the weekly petrol stop to top up the tank, with a chemical fuel, that in itself, deteriorates the components when burned. Produces moisture within the exhaust that will rust out that system. Pure genius actually. Make a product that self destructs when used. Big savings for us

Sadly, brain dead people listen to entertainment celebrities, and think they actually know what they are talking about. He, she, it, is a musical, acting, entertainment genius, so they have to be as smart about everything they state, outside of their work environment. Sadly elections & policy are won on the best PR.

No product is perfect, or they wouldn't make money maintaining them. If you watched 'Who killed the electric car?' (highly recommend), it's pointed out, just how much auto makers & fossil fuel make on the imperfections of ICEVs that keeps the lobbyist working 24/7 delaying any new modes of transport. The constant maintenance (cost/profit) of just the basics oil changes & tune-ups is billion $$$ business, as much or much more, than earned with the sale of said ICEVs. How they shifted the simple advertisement for oil changes, shows it's all about selling oil. Use to be 'buy our oil, it last longer', now it's 'change every 10k kms to protect the engine'. What a scam. When I changed the oil decades past, it was 'black'. Now, I have a hard time reading the dip stick, it's so clean, and they want me to change it at the dealer, or it voids to warranty

That's not good for the 'abortion rights' movement, giving her dismal handling of the border that she never had control of. And she's next in line, JIC, since VP, if Biden runs & gets elected Almost feel sorry for Yanks ... Som naa na UP THE REVOLUTION

I hit 100kg here, and talk about feeling uncomfortable. Been as low as 78kg, which I felt really small at. Got out of boot camp (US Army) @ 75kg. I'm comfy between 80-84kg, any bigger and I'm uncomfortable. 80kg seems to stick for past 5 years. Good to have a couple kgs extra, in case I get sick Better than too thin, in case body needs some fuel.

Looks like a pay wall to me. And NO ... I don't give my info, just to read news. I get very little spam, and want to keep it that way.

Yes, he'd do the same, and he's almost accomplished his agenda. Might of been a bit more strategic with taking out top UA gov't & military officials, and then crossed the border. Think it would have been a smarter move. Obviously got a bit more ground resistance than expected, along with being resupplied from afar. ... Oops
