????????????

Bon Cafe beans are decent, and they offer a decaf version. Never tried decaf myself.

Me ... tending to the dog and ... cooking (experimenting) ... photography, mainly birding ... drones & RC boat & cars, not so much any more ... searching interesting places to eat at or visit ... actually going to those places, whether local or requiring overnights stays while out & about Wife ... ... gardening/farming/greenhouse ... sewing, make all our clothes ... bit of a photo bug also ... cooking (experimenting) Oh yea, me again ... trolling AN ????

Transport, I wish ... mine sits on my lap, requiring constant massage while there. No wonder she loves riding in the car. Refused to sit in the back. After an hour or so, she move over to the wife's lap w/bed and take a nap. Until she hears the GPS say turn left into the charging station, then she's wide awake and crying to go out for a P ???? Yes, also love the graphs, as puts things in perspective. Why I like our 'short' SUV (ZS), and after @Yellowtail reply, I peeked, and the 'tuna' is only <5cm wider than our ZS, though almost a 1/2 meter longer. Another interesting graph would be prices of 'made in TH' entry level ICE vehicles vs entry level BEVs vs entry level Japanese entry level imports. My comparisons have noticed the NETA V being cheaper than most entry level Japanese badged ICE cars 'made in TH', the MG EP being same price as top end versions of the same. Then the Japanese imports, being almost 2X the price of the MG EP. Quite the contrast, considering operating & maintenance cost of EVs. Aside from performance. When the incentives disappear, only adding 150k baht to most EVs, as only the MG ZS & EP got that 240k ish baht incentive, rest all in the 150k baht range, I really don't think it will affect the sales #s. No need for any performance graphs, as Google and fastest or most powerful cars (for a price) and EVs will top those lists. Only advantage now of ICE cars, is range, and that comes at a price, petrol vs electric.

I must be living on the edge. Though most things don't last long in frig before eaten, I have eaten things, mainly meats, up to a week after cooked. Veggies do turn too quick, 2 or 3 days, and they'll start sprouting something. Fruits never last long before eaten, since snacked on while watching movies. Sauces, soups/stews used to be a problem, as wife seems to make enough for 10 people, instead of 2. Though finally got in the habit of freezing excess within a day or so.

I'm not ... ????

You did reply to me ... and yes, been in TH a long time, relative, and yet to see or been on a balcony I'd be able to fall over, unless as Sheryl stated, doing something really stupid. Which ins co. have a escape clause for that also. You can't fix stupid. Millions of tourist every year, don't fall off balconies ... wonder why that is ?

If & when I start falling over 900mm walls, I'll start having a bit of empathy for those folks falling off balconies. Seriously, how do you fall off a balcony ? Medical episode ? Who's guessing now ? And alcohol is a drug.

Yes, but I can't be bothered, as I thought my reply was self explanatory. Since I neither pay taxes nor have a student loan, anything that happens over there doesn't really concern me with exception of COLA & exchange rate. 2024 BIDEN 2024 OK, I'll answer a wee bit. They took on the debt voluntarily, not different than someone buying a car or house. Why should their debt be forgiven, and not others. Thought that was easily explained before. Everyone is living in the same economic times, deal with it. Enough with the hand outs. Apparently the SCOTUS agrees with that sentiment. Just accept it.

Shy of 1/2 meter, that's long to me when trying to park. TR - 5600 (?) wheelbase of 2585mm

If they did already, must have worked ???? just has a heavy thunderstorm pass through ... nice light show with it. Windy.com estimating about an 1"/2.5cm of rain of late, 10 ish days, which makes sense as we have 2 tank almost full up, shy of 4000L. That's about right for about 150m² of roof.

That's one of things I like about the ZS, only 4323mm long. Really looks short when parked next to a Fortuna ???? About the only thing I didn't care for with the EP, as 4544mm long. Aside from that, they had similar specs and EP being ฿180k cheaper. What a bargain ????

Spec (charging) not much different from MGs (EP, ES, MG4, ZS), so should accept any universal charging cable. Got to be cheaper than ฿25k On LAZ from ฿9k & up

Every large metro is an assembly of neighborhoods, with the good and bad. Most good thankfully with few exception. GreekTown was cool in the Detroit Metro. I lived in Wayne for a long winter, a real sh!thole, but minutes from the airport where I worked. Used to go to Ann Arbor / Uni town, for fun, and a great place. Hard to beat the Uni neighborhoods for fun nights out.

IMHO ... also the 14th Amendment for mandating covid vaccines.

I appreciate negative reviews, as a heads up, and taken with a grain of salt. Usually read the negative ones, mostly, after a few glaring ... "OMG-must try" reviews. Photos are more important, and # of reviews. Most times LAZ & TA reviews are totally useless...IMHO. Gmap being my main research tool.

A reply last Saturday from newnative put the thought back in my mind. I think the only 3 or 4 provinces I haven't visited yet. Every time I think about it, I talk myself out of it. Such as last month, while on Phuket ???? I like 'less travelled' and all the photos I see of, look nice. We easily self entertain ... and finding a good beef massaman & roti shop would simply be a plus. A few snaps of birds that don't get much further N would be real nice. Add to my collection.

for those curious, balcony height: ... 900mm (TH), average male ht: 171.61cm ... 1100mm (UK). average male ht: 178.21cm So not to get deleted ... IMHO (actually the regulation, feel free to Google) male ht

That's a case by case scenario. I'm buying a house, car, motorcycle & other toys whether in a relationship of not, and had before current wife. Always had before my relationships, with 1 exception. If we get along and 'I want to share these', then fine. If not, there's plenty others that will or I'll stay single, as makes not difference to me. I don't do P4P, in any aspect of it. I'll share with a like minded person though. Don't know what that has to do with tourist going to the same ol'. You might want to read the thread topic.

One solution ... stop harboring the terrorist and report them to the police/army Come together and stop living in fear. Help the army rid the terrorist. No quarter, no place to hide, make it dangerous to be terrorist. They are extremist, and don't only attack military targets, or non Muslims. They kill anyone, any religion, Muslims included, school kids, teachers, doctors, vendors/store owners (if doing business on Friday) as I read about that one, and just silly, religious fanatics. Spoils of war, history, get over it. It's part of TH, accept or leave, rather go back to Malaysia.

I have, and simply need to word it correctly. You could even make it comical ... with praise. ... thank you for not supplying toiletries, as we travel with our own. ... thank you not changing the soiled sheets/bed covering, as we travel with a top sheet. ... thank you not providing water to drink. ... so glad your restaurant had very small portions, as my spouse is overweight. ... thank you for not providing a lift. ... as all these keep your overhead low, and we didn't mind paying just a bit more than the other hotel that do provide those extras, as we only like walking up the 5 floors of steps, instead of using the elevator, for needed exercise.

Obviously, if you're falling off a balcony, your judgement was impaired. Simply using A/B levels for a DUI, would be sufficient to deny...IMHO As they are set, for the limit of judgement and or reaction time while driving. Above the limit, and you'd be considered 'impaired.' And that limit isn't very high, so yea, if you sip a few on holiday, skip the travel ins.

hmm ... maybe I'll wait till next year/rainy season to go south. See how the withdraw of military plays out vs increased terrorist activity.

too many variables, not enough info, to access the situation and give advise. Assuming some major property damage done and on vid. And you/friend think if not arrested/jailed/deported, offender could become very violent toward you/friend and cause serious, bodily harm. Can't see complaint about property damage getting someone immediately jailed without bail or deported without court date, so they would be out, and free to retaliate if wanting. Are you prepared for that ? That's your answer, a question only you can answer.
