  1. That's location dependent, as ours/PKK rarely stocks soft tortillas, and gone fast when they arrive. Not big on western fare offerings.
  2. If wanting to stay near Andaman Sea @ Phang-Nga, then just north of Sarasin Bridge. Think I was one of the only farangs in the area. Great for a sunset with plenty of local vendors around ... my snaps: Natai Beach Might see one of my friends, cruising for a munch:
  3. Nong Bua LamPhu
  4. El Charro is another brand w/corn tortillas If a racist gringo, they even have white corn tortillas:
  5. Never hurts to read the labels once in a while:
  6. One reason I loved FL & Keys as my playground, fresh seafood. Have a dive buddy, same thinking, all fish smells. All out for dinner, and I ordered a nice grilled blackened tuna and he was amazed it didn't smell like a can of tuna. Still wouldn't sample it though ... ???? Damn it as tasty
  7. Competition is a beautiful thing. Enough with the price gouging of EVs. When 2 of the same spec'd cars are on sale, and one is 2X the price ... competition is the only thing that stops that price gouging. CEO of the Volkswagen ... there's a trustworthy guy, as if anything he says is credible. VW wouldn't be a manufacturer of autos I would even consider. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_controversies
  8. Som tum Thai - tasty, never smells fishy, although I add my own cayenne to it. There's more than 1 variation of Som tum. som tum Agree .. Som Tum Pu Pla Ra ... that's vile stuff
  9. "Rice bran oil: This is produced from the outer brown layer of rice, known as the rice husk. Rice bran oil is highly refined and although there are some studies that suggest it provides health benefits, its ratio of polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids to omega 3 fats is 20:1, which is enough of a reason alone to avoid it. At most, omega 6 fatty acids should be at a 4:1 ratio with omega 3 (1:1 is optimal). As high levels of omega 6 fatty acids are highly inflammatory and can have huge implications on your long-term health, I suggest rice bran oil is one you avoid." oils Yes, a better choice ????
  10. Fresh fish shouldn't smell 'fishy' ... avoid if it does. I guess you don't live in TH, as fish sauce is used quite often.
  11. You better not read the labels of the items in you food cabinet containing 'natural flavoring', unless you want to be on a diet.
  12. "Throughout her visit Ms Yellen sought to persuade her Chinese hosts that under President Joe Biden, America is not fundamentally hostile to China." Sending a 2nd CSG to the Sea of China & calling Pres. Xi a dictator doesn't come off as hostile at all ???? Another Trump hit piece from the echo box, but ignoring the facts... 'new boss, same as old boss': "Biden has clung to tariffs on China. American business owners say there's a cost" Biden keeps Trumps tariffs on China goods Spinning the BS instead of reporting the news. BBC ... another joke of an entertainment news organization ... IMHO
  13. What makes you think they are poor ?
  14. I doesn't lower it, it illuminated even asking for it. Who pays extra for used, when you can rent or buy new. Then if she wants to have a kid with him, just became a family of 4, without the hanger ons... ... RUN
  15. Don't know about English or customer service, as yet to need after sales/purchase. Last laptops we bought were from; Lenovo: laptop for wife JIB: 2 ASUS laptops; me/daughter also a fan of Advice Distributors
  16. @AventurasEnMadrid can't wait till she brings up the Sin Sot, and no Thai person would pay for someone with kids already. That should really let you see things clearly. There will be a nice piece of land of hers or family you can build on, or buy something new in 'her' name. RUN
  17. Not sure about that, as I've married up 3X, (of 4) though first 2 weren't beneficial at all. 3rd beneficial, only since I can't own land here, and investing with and under her name has meant living here cost/rent free, all 23 yrs, and then some extra in the pocket.
  18. You expecting to find a virgin in this day and age, especially if you are older than 15 yrs old, and good luck with.
  19. With the regulations, they can put a damper on things. I operated them a lot more often before regulations, as I'm not and never will be legal. I actually enjoyed building more then operating them. Definitely gives your photography a different angle & perspective. Snaps I could never get without.
  20. I disagree with every USA foreign policy, and quite honestly, wish they didn't have one. Simply not needed, as quite self sufficient, and nothing but wasted lives & money playing the world's police force & corporate security agency.
  21. With one exception, we make our own sausages, and really too easy. Aside from that 1 spicy sausage, only 'processed' food we don't make, is hotdogs or spicy bologna, as simply too difficult. Really don't eat that much of either. An occasional double pork burger rom 7-11. Retired, and more time than we know what to do with, so plenty of time to source & make ourselves. Any processed foods we do eat, read the ingredients and opt for the better version.
  22. Is it everyday, daily, or day & night, or just when trying to sleep. If just when trying to sleep, it could be a hiatal hernia, which I have, and found when scoped. Ask if wanting it fixed, and seems to be an easy fix, though I did give it a pass, as just knowing it's there, is easy enough to work around it. For this with an occasion upset stomach, simple fix, 1 - 2 tsp or tbsp of baking soda, mixed with warm water, and you'll burp away your discomfort. Inexpensive & works better & quicker than anything else ... IMHO
  23. I rarely take my drones with me any more, as I usually stay at higher altitudes w/nice viewpoint. Be good for taking a selfie, or snap of the resort, but that's about it. Then I'd have to carry back & forth to the car, as can't leave in the car, too hot. Bought my present ones just for that, about 2 yrs ago for snaps of the house being built and surrounding area. Thinking about taking one with me this O&A as going to brother/family's land, about 70 rai, and might use. He wants to give the wife a rai, as he already did all the other family members. No promises, but depending when and mood we're in, on the way back, may shoot you a message, as we're 1.5 hrs S of Cha Am. So may be in the neighborhood. Also weather dependent, rain & high wind don't work.
