Not an issue for myself, been shooting blanks for 25+ years

"Despite the injury, the tourist opted against seeking immediate medical aid, underscoring the caution needed in such encounters." If you get bit, or even scratched (skin broken) by a monkey, you DO NEED TO SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. If a test for Hepatitis is not recommended, you do need to insist on one. And another in a week later, , while taking PrEP (antivirals) immediately, until and all clear. Macaque monkeys carry (dormant to them) hepatitis.

Owning one now, I find that survey hard to believe, and can't imagine 50% being unsatisfied with their choices, along with the same 50%, not doing the slightest research to realize what they were buying. I think if you surveyed ICEV owners, you'd find many where unsatisfied with their choices. Myself owning most USA brands, and a couple brands from JP, I can't really say I would be any again. What does that say, I regretted owning them, not really, as they served their purpose at the time. But now know better than to limit my choices, not that I ever did, but wouldn't buy any brand that I've owned prior to our MGs. Value and performance at the MG price point, simply isn't available with any USA or JP brand or model. At present, would repurchase another MG, or another CH brand, is looking in the future. ON TOPIC ... got nothing since OP is looking for a truck. Depending on need, may want to see when and what the BYD truck is all about & when actually available. Would even consider that myself, as wanting an RV conversion, which would be a pick up or van, neither available just now. Well T6, but not spec'd or priced to my liking.

Don't be so lazy, just butter both sides of your homemade whole wheat bread, and toast up both sides, in your cast iron skillet. Think 'Texas Toast' ... ENJOY every buttery toasted bite

This may interest you ... some having margins of success even in stage 4. Watch the whole vid, as good info throughout:

Why I ignore western & Thai MSM. I grew up in a mixed (white/black) neighborhood, and every night watch the evening news, national & local, and if a black person was in the news, he was usually a criminal. So yes, pointed taken, but Thais that actually mingle with expats, can think for themselves, as I/we did back then and realize people are all the same, no matter what the news tries to imply. I receive what I project with the locals, and yet to have a negative experience. Rarely myself or a local, sharing our 'bad day' with each other, with much drama. Nothing like the news wants people to think. Division, doom & gloom sells, just don't buy into it.

That's obviously location dependent, and doubt if that would apply to TH, where EV purchasers in TH, seem to have more choices of quality and affordable cars, and the intelligence to purchase what's good for them. Since OP is wanting a truck, not sure how EVs even pop up in the discussion. But hey, never pass up an opportunity to bash EVs with surveys from outside of TH. Can you get any more off topic.

When they don't control the MSM ... who decides what a terrorist looks like. I would consider the Christian terrorist of the the US/NATO military war machine of invade & occupy, a far more of a threat to humanity than Muslim extremists. With a much larger death toll, from the their regime changes and causing civil wars in Muslim countries. One person's terrorist is another persons freedom fighter. Who controls MSM controls the narrative.

Not many, and even less are active posters, for obviously reasons. I avoid most threads now, even ones I have an interest in, and developed a 'why bother' attitude. I see now the 'worst joke' thread is now being censored. As if the trolls and having discussions with children or the most ignorant adults isn't enough of a turn off.

Wing 41 ... Chiang Mai. Seems the perfect purpose AC, slow & low flyer, with great great visibility capabilities, to patrol the border recon runs in support of the Army, police, and DEA. Cheaper, less operational & support cost, than say choppers, and man power to utilize.

You sure it wasn't a knock off. I'm a big Electrolux fan, and they are far superior to other brands. Usually worth the extra. But do buy from the manufacturer or an authorized reseller, linked from the manufacturers website. Electrolux Microwaves carry a 2 yr warranty ... did you contact them before the 2yr expiration ? I've never needed, but I hear/read they do honor their warranties, as noted above. I'd probably replace present one with an Electrolux ... If my toaster (Tefal) should die, doubtful, as yet to have one die, as all that were replaced were simply upgrades. Old ones passed on to someone in need of one.

Sad part is, most are suppose to be mature, in later life, but act totally irresponsible and clueless. Doing things they'd never do, or be allowed to do in home country. Embarrassing to say the least, and dangerous when things go horribly wrong. Sadly, a well deserved reputation in areas they congregate, which is best avoided by all, except those profiting by catering to them. And if people are concerned about the locals painting us all with the same brush, maybe y'all should associate with more intelligent, free thinking locals, who don't form their opinions from media reports. If you get all your info from MSM & the barstool ... well, nuff said. Misery loves company. Y'all like minded farangs and locals, will just enjoy the hated you feel for each other.

Just a typical thread started by someone who hasn't a clue what they are talking about or asking, pops back in to answer 1 irrelevant question, while providing no info for anyone to give advice. That advice ranging from useless, no experience of, hearsay to simple Thai bashing of all things. Only useful answer, once info provided (age 51), and simple solution from the get go, just put in the daughter's name to begin with. 3 pages could have been answered in 2 posts.

I think that depends on the woman, her upbringing, free thought, and location living. While hanging out at Central Plaza NST (Nakhon Si Thammarat) I was quite impressed with all the ladies. Smoking hot, free spirited, and completely opposite of MSM portrayal of. If not for the very fashionable, styling, dress, you'd never know they were Muslim. Not a burka in sight.

None of the Above ... as I've lost total respect for the Legacy auto makers. Just a thought, stop buying the same ol' high maintenance crap. At least take a peek and test drive some of the other options. Happy Shopping

Smog in north definitely keeps us away. Not just the farmers, but gov't burns their fair share. At the local park today, and this small fire will produce more smoke in 1 hour, that we do all year, burning what little trash we burn.

If anyone is considering a usufruct to protect themselves from the wife ... RENT I only had them (usufructs) to protect myself, incase the wife died. Now the daughter is adult, and wills made, so present usufruct is irrelevant.

Always good to have hands on some products. Make sure the toaster will center whatever you place in it for even toasting. Look at heating coils, make sure more than just a few, and evenly spaced on both sides. Optional selection buttons for 'timed' (30 seconds) for warming up, or 'frozen' items.

Happy with this TEFAL Express, and about the ฿1000+/-. Accepts Makro burger rolls, so normal size bagel should fit. Might have bought from HomePro, as photo is from their listing. Or Makro, and see it on LAZ also. Best I've owned so far. Tefal Express name at different locations on different models, this matches ours:

Yes, in 'Memory' Watching the above trailer, looks as if it's going to have few twists along along the way.

Don't know if anyone posted this yet. but besides making Horizon's Neta v, the PTT's subsidiary Arun Plus, will also be making 2 more brands of electric vehicles (EVs) – ZEEKR and XPENG PTT being the state owned oil company, in case you think EVs are just a fad in TH. Yea ... let that one sink in, take as long as you need PTT ... Petrol & CSs, (mini malls) battery manufacturer and 3 different makes of EVs .. so far.

booking.com shows 20+ hotels priced between ฿215 - ฿417 all in, for tomorrow 12 March. Options abound.

Every one I did cost <100 baht at the land office, and was for 'use & modify', as 2 types available. Did 6 @ Udon Thani and 2 at Prachuap Khiri Khan.

agent did everything

And EVs and things in between ...
