  1. Maybe to you, but I never heard expression before, and still vague. I get the quaint & homey part, but the suggestions, not so quaint or homey. Match the wide range on Gmaps that I got.
  2. Yea, and example of one that he/she liked already would have helped. I like the smaller vendors/shophouse or detached, though hard to make a profit with <10 tables at detached house. Small enough so you can chit chat to the owner if wanting. When stated 'house restaurant', I thought 'homestay' w/extended restaurant. Then I Google, and got all kinds of different versions. Oh well ...
  3. That's about as vague as one can get. Matches the OP lack of description.
  4. This one at Makro, 2L and priced 160-200, all SS. Bought a 2nd for on the road. Preferred something smaller, but most smaller aren't SS.
  5. I tend to go for best product at best price = best value for said customer. Don't about their PR/owner's opinion on life and or politics. That said, I don't think Tesla cars are that any more, especially at the price point in TH. I do like Musk though, and agree with a lot of his thoughts.
  6. Actually most lists are pretty close, and really depends if one knows what they are reading; ... population: municipality or metro area ... area; municipality or metro area
  7. One reason you should learn Thai, before replying ... English: 'language' = 'ภาษา" (Thai) transliteration: P̣hās̄ʹā
  8. That might be the preference for more than a few members here
  9. Wouldn't a 'house restaurant' be just about every ma/pa shophouse where the restaurant is on the ground floor w/tables & chairs and they probably live upstairs or behind.
  10. Not sure about #1, but # 2 & 3, agree, and have to almost feel sorry for them Yanks.
  11. How is that virtue signal long-term ? Don't think I'm saving the planet, not that it needs saving. If that's what your implying, or that EV will save the planet. Definitely not my thinking. Just not contributing to the vile exhaust I hate smelling when I'm riding the scooter around, almost daily. If wanting to breathe fresher air is virtue signaling, then guilty as charged. I did also state ... "since not contributing as much to it" ... as we still burn our trash, what little we have. Either that, or give to the municipality to possibly burn, or worse, dump in the sea. So we take the latter out of being possible.
  12. one stack is 100k, so not that bulky Honey ... I need another pillow case, one sprung a leak
  13. On quality flour, I'm going to start mixing in whole wheat flour. Before I'd use bread @ 400gr + 100gr of whole wheat. As not a fan of the grains/bran bits in whole wheat. I've enlightened myself, to Atta flour, which is still whole wheat, but without the bits & pieces. Wee less nutritious, and not as absorbent (a good thing), but a lot healthier than AP or bread flour. Now to get the ratios correct, start with 70/30%, or 60/40, then maybe 50/50, bread/atta flour. Till I run out of bread flour at the house (3.5kg), then see how 100% atta flour loaf turns out. Though 50/50 might be the max ratio. Depending on texture & rise of the bread. I'll be testing when the atta arrives, as just ordered. Also ฿60 a kg (total, if buying 5kg) vs ฿36 for bread flour.
  14. Let this batch go for 44 hrs instead of 20-30, as at 30 hr, still not looking as good as I'd like. 44 hr was a bit long, and actually had some whey separation. Whey strained out quick and really thick. Too much actually as had to 'rinse' down with milk to get it through the strainer. Good news though, my kefir grains are fine. Another batch started which will be a daily thing. Eating healthy kick, this, and a few other changes in my diet.
  15. Not a Cipro fan, and I would avoid also, as it does give me a mild headache. Amoxy & Doxy fan when needing, and rare, as I just let the body do it's thing without meds. All infections in most people, clear within 2 weeks, why docs simply give out antibodies and say, 'if not better in 2 weeks, come back in' If viral infection, they don't work anyway. If bacterial, then might clear up a bit earlier. I prefer my healthy immune system, and simply don't get sick. OP ... yea, hope he/she saw a doc.
  16. No person intelligent enough to be President would want to take the pay cut, not matter how much he/she/it loves their country. Aside from your invasion of privacy the rest of your life. A job perfectly suited for narcissist and or criminals, as that seems to be the only qualifications needed.
  17. Wow ... your PTT has a BK ... lucky you, as can't beat a double Whopper. We have an air compressor at the house, as most stations seem to not have air any more, or at least the hoses. I avoid the petrol pump area, as depression and frustration could be contagious. Too much rage in that area, and I might be a trigger while laughing at them. The larger PTT here is a special trip involving U-turns, and was extra effort to top up the ICEV when owning, aside from Q'ing up every week to hand over my 1000-1500 baht for that fuel that contributes to the self destruction of the engine & exhaust system
  18. In OP's case (last year) I'd see a doc also, as pissing blood would necessitate testing for me. But if just a tingle in the jingle, I'd go with Doxy, and if not relief in a day, then go the culture route. Apparently cipro has been found to not affect tendons, which I also believed, till googled before posting. From the link I posted:
  19. I'm more of a spiteful person, and detest monopolies. Especially when they cost my money. Big oil vs charging at home, just a no brainer for me. Big oil is the only reason EVs weren't available before in the USA. Add solar to the equation, and nothing gives me as much pleasure as driving by PTT every week, or getting our PEA bill every month. Add the savings and pure BLISS Aside from the fact, now I can complain about the low level air pollution, since not contributing as much to it.
  20. I rarely touch my brakes, as the regen, once use to, will slow me down for most of my driving. Only when coming to a complete stop, if cruise control is not engaged. Regen when timed right, will bring you down to an rolling idle. Takes a while to get used to. First week or so and I was almost stopping 20m before intersections. Now I rarely touch the brakes and all that energy goes back to the battery pack.
  21. Minimal service, compared to ICEVs. Buying in is location dependent ... in TH, Tesla is overpriced and BYD is the flavor of the day, specifically the Seal, if not wanting SUV.
  22. No additional 'fee' needed at non corrupt land offices. Usufruct fee cost <100 baht to register. I've done 8 at two different LOs (6 @ UT / 2 @ PKK).
  23. Don't think BYD owners have anything to worry about. Same as if CATL started producing cars. If you make the most expensive component of the EV yourself, you control the cost of the end product, and can price competitively.
  24. Depending how long you put off treatment. I would just buy some Doxy or Cipro for UTI. Avoid Levofloxacin as not good if you exercise/stress tendons & ligaments. By the time any culture came back, you'd be cured. Might even feel relief, while waiting to be seen at a govt hosp, is you took it early enough in the morning.
  25. You do realize, what criminal activity the whistleblowers expose. Unless you don't mind the gov't agencies spying on you without your permission, or legal processes guaranteed in the 4th Amendment. The gov't criminals have a different definition for breaking the law, and a nice loophole, by simply labeling something 'classified'. Kind of null and voids the 'whistleblower law/protection'. Just another form of censorship and control.
