That's what I thought until I was on their sh!t list and the target of the harassment. People haven't a clue until you're on the other side of that equation.

Hell NO @lelapin Agree, and one of the worse exercises for you back. Simple stomach cruncher much better, and counter with back 'inward & outward' stretches' to counter strength of abs. Crunches ... simple lay on padded floor and raise legs & chest off the ground at same time, hold until you can't, or do 5 second reps, until you can't. You feel it right away in the abs. back stretches ... knees bent under you and chest as far down to floor as possible (bend over bi-atch) ... then the opposite, legs extended, pelvis pushed as close to floor, with arm pushing chest upright as far as possible (concave back curve) That works the muscles that support most of your lower back discs. Lose weight if heavy, and take as much weight off your spine as possible, during daily routine, along with carrying weight. Avoid sitting at 90 degrees or less. 50 yrs experience of bad back management. Surgery in 1997, wanted to slice & dice me again in 2001. No thanks, I'll leave my job and simply stop aggravating it. 20+ yrs on, and feeling good.

8+8=16 times ???? Free speech/expression is not free. probably just a coincidence, critical emails & audits. Funny how didn't happen under any other administrations.

TH found the right role for them. People simply need to accept it, adapt, and deal with it. With any luck, we'll get some savvy politicians, encouraging (incentives) for everyone to put solar panels on their roofs. Long overdue in any tropical country. The uncommon common sense ????

Anything is better than more ICEVs, especially diesel.

Damn, got me beat. I've been audited by the IRS more than anyone I know. 8 straight years under Bush 2, and 8 straight yrs under Obama ... free speech comes with risks. Before careful what you say in emails to WH ... ???? They don't like being criticized. Most of those years, I didn't even have income ... ????

Spread some down here ... been overcast & raining most of the day.

They work just as they were designed for ... Profits

That's after every rain downpour.

I think you'll be out of luck, and I wouldn't bother. Sad they basically banned, the only thing that truly works as a good decongestant, if that's what you need it for.

Try to keep up ... there was a referendum, and it was 'voted' in: more source if needed

Got to get my 'energy' from somewhere, so might as well enjoy it. Hard part is burning off the excess ????

Find it a better place to live, than holiday, as doubt I would ever come here, strictly for holiday. Since living here, wouldn't recommend it as a holiday destination. That said, I haven't been to the places I did love, as a holiday destination in over 23 years, before TH. They may all be overpriced crap now, and I wouldn't like them. Who know ? Who cares ? ???? Living in the here & now, and quite liking it.

There's a lot missing, that I did when first got here. All along the far E, N, W borders. Still haven't made it down to far South/Gulf side. There, and always change my mind. Really isn't that much further than bottom of Phatthalung province. Just a few 100 kms to most Southern point.

And yet my Gmap timeline says I'm not hiding at home, though a great place to hide; custom build house designed by & built for us, in lovely environment & living area. Independent of the grid, and even petrol stations ???? Water if we installed more holding tanks ???? Surf 2 ish kms away, can walk there. and nice rolling hills, a few kms further the other direction. And my timeline is missing the first 14 yrs of traveling around:

I enjoy taking the city buses at Bangkok, a great way to get around and sight see, whether from the window of, snapping photos or strolling around:

And they're not even Russian ... ????

Doesn't appear to be a regular menu item: https://www.duckdonuts.com/menu/ Unless looking for a maple flavored breakfast sandwich ... kind of interesting: A few other offerings w/Maple flavoring: • French Toast – Maple Icing with Cinnamon Sugar & Powdered Sugar • Blueberry Pancake – Blueberry Icing with Maple Drizzle & Powdered Sugar • Maple Bacon – Maple Icing with Chopped Bacon • Bacon in the Sun – Maple Icing with Chopped Bacon & Salted Caramel Drizzle

'World Class' anything in TH ... is a stretch. Yet to see or visit anything, anywhere here that would fall under 'world class'. Maybe some beaches on the outer islands I haven't visited yet. Actually Phuket beaches were damn nice during covid, and as nice as any I've been on elsewhere ... so for a short time, 'world class'. Museums here, the few I visited, are just sad.

Why ... just paid for ours from savings account. Think people should wait until tax thingy is implemented. Surely if showing coming from savings, for a purchase, it won't be income and not taxes. So people assume if bring in money to buy a condo, you'll get hit with a 15 ish % income tax. People could also use Wise, which uses domestic bank transfers to keep fees low, and they show as domestic transfers. Or a simple bank transfer to the vendor. By-passing the bank account monitoring.

Had a double Whopper yesterday, damn it was good ???? Last time, Whopper was 155 baht, now 189+70 for extra meat. Has to be a double, or you can't taste the meat, if having the sauce on it.

One grumpy one leaving ... ... win win for all ????

Right in front of you and you can't see it. Daytime ... most wear helmets, night time, most don't. Evidence enough, and if you can't see that, you're blind, or too jaded to see the reality of things. After getting cited a few times for no helmet or license, then many would eventually comply. Head now protected, at least a wee bit, and better knowledge of traffic laws after licensed.
