Reading comprehension, already pointed out, but thanks for repeating. Sorry cannot resist ???? 'we're ... were' Proofread before posting ????

As stated ... the 'law' ???? Really, you have to ask ? Think before posting. Have a nice day #8 https://www.tourismthailand.org/Articles/10-things-tourists-need-to-know-about-cannabis-in-thailand

1st mistake, violating law in foreign country 2nd mistake, accepting unknown drugs from stranger ... ... som nam naa I suspect it wasn't, or a bit more than just weed ... IMHO

1. Everyone spies on everyone, and you certainly wouldn't use balloons to do that...IMHO 2. Not in CH's interest, since they hold part of the public debt*** 3. mute subject, 'One China', neither the USA nor UN recognizes Taiwan as an independent country. Just something to rattle the sabers at for increased defense contractor budgets...

The food 'pyramid' seems to change with every new study. Along with every year's new study of some food, that was good, is now bad, or now good, after being bad. Uncommon common sense would dictate eating a balanced diet, and in moderation of all the stuff they imply is bad. The obvious, processed, trans fats, excess sugar, excess salt if already having high BP. Think all agree no alcohol is better than a wee bit, so ease up on that, or simply stop. Family history, genetics of possible food related issues; diabetes or heart disease, as two easy ones to know about. You need carbs, simple & complex, protein & fats. They all compliment each other with the absorption of nutrients they all supply. Naturally, there are better versions of each. If you don't burn off the excess intake of any, then all should know, that will be a problem as you age. Diets simply don't work, why people gain weight when dieting stopped. Eating lifestyles work, with some moderate cheating, works for me anyway. All diets recommend exercise, big surprise, and why most people lose weight, and may not be from the diet. Lose more weight of course, if exercising a bit of will power with your eating habits. If wanting to lose weight, simply, burn more than you take in. Nobody disagrees with that. Some hints; ... stop watching fast food commercials ... learn how to cook ... tea spoon of sugar in your coffee isn't going to give you diabetes. A liter a day of corn syrup soda pop probably will. ... any oil instead of palm oil, and I think all agree, Olive is excellent (we only use olive & peanut) ... good dark chocolate vs that Snickers bar ... roasted veggies instead of tempura ... ease up whole milk & other dairies/cheese (mozzarella & parmesan ????) They should all be common sense by now. If you don't do a balance diet, (I lack proper intake of fruits & veggies) take a multivitamin. Kirkland (tested) has what the label states it does, our preference. LEARN HOW TO COOK, it's fun, (failures of funny) easy (YT), taste better and healthier, as you control the ingredients. Don't want sugar in your bread, don't add it, it's not needed to make. Eating healthy is easy, stop overthinking & complicating it. Enjoy your treats in moderation.

ICEs with extremely flammable fuel might be the reason. Worldwide issue, not just TH. USA as an example (ins. stats kept): ICE vehicles caught fire substantially less often, at 1,530 incidents per 100,000 vehicles. https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/are-electric-vehicles-more-likely-to-catch-on-fire/#:~:text=ICE vehicles caught fire substantially,a 1%2C000 will catch fire.

You'd think looking in the mirror or seeing those group photos would be enough motivation.

It's only a cleanse, not an eating lifestyle. Probably better than induced by other, pharmaceutics methods. Tourist subject themselves to 'cleanses' all the time, unknowingly. 'OMG this fruit, lets get a bunch more' .... then wonder why they're stuck on the toilet the next day and scared to fart. Agree, a balance diet makes so much more sense, than OD'ing on one 1 food group. Not sure your body was designed for that. Know mine isn't.

Could always try just 'eating' more protein in your food intake, damn tasty also. Some of my favorite sources, just happen to have higher contents of: Protein foods: lean meats – beef, pork poultry – chicken & eggs fish and seafood – fish, prawns, crab, lobster, mussels, scallops dairy products – milk, yoghurt (especially Greek yoghurt), cheese (especially cottage cheese)

OP posted why I was typing, so OP can disregard, as obviously, you are just being scammed. Maybe others can find the info useful if found this thread and made it this far down. _______________________ Unless serious symptoms, just go buy some Amoxy & SARA (paracetamol) or flavored liquid version if available, as that's all a clinic is going to give you, if that. Tiffy if stuffy nose, but that also has paramedical in it. And a lot, so watch dosage. You're just treating symptoms for comfort, and the Amoxy may be a waste, if not bacterial. Or it may help clear things up in a day or 2. If so, then it was bacterial, then continue taking for about 10 days. They'll also tell you to come back in 2 weeks, if symptoms don't go away. Why .... because most bacterial & viral symptoms will go away by themselves in 2 weeks. DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, just a parent of a little one, that came home once a month sick from school (kindergarten), until I took her out of, as other parents kept sending their kid to school sick.

Guilty as charged ... but after having solar & EVs, it really does expose the reality of how silly, the concept of using fossil fuel has been for at least the last 50 yrs. There really is no reason, that we, well, you are still dependent on it today, in most cases, except for the control the industry has exerted on politicians & govts. Yes, it just like that, religion. Some Christian thumping wacko telling you there is a God. Then it happens and you're now a believer, and think to yourself, how could I not see that before. So ... install solar, get an EV, and join the cult, and you'll wonder ... W T F, my eyes are open now, how could I have been so blinded & ignorant. Get back to us when you do, or not. Just keep giving your money away to those guys, as they'll keep taking it. Ignorance is Bliss ... for them.

The redundancy of using energy, to produce hydrogen, for fuel cells, to produce energy. Along with if & when, the energy to produce hydrogen, comes from renewables. But until that happens, decades away, you once again, are catering to the fossil fuel conglomerates, for the energy, to produce a fuel, to produce energy. And then, same as fossil fuels now, the energy/fuel used to transport, store & pump it. You're not seeing the hamster wheel here, simply going around and around, with no real progress, except more profits for, yea ... those guys, again. I think the time and money, can be better spent, simply upgrading the grid to capture the renewable energy that is already available, but simply not be collected & used, since not as profitable. Hard to justify silly prices for energy, that is provided free from nature, by simply collecting it. Wind, solar, hydro, thermal, simply collect it, use it to generate electric, and send it on it's way by wire.

A fruit cleanse is fine, but anyone on a fruit diet, their body would have adjusted to the higher intake of fruit, and a cleanse probably wouldn't work that well. So you talking a cleanse & fast, or a lifestyle diet. Can't agree with the latter, as not a balanced diet IMHO Your body needs protein & fats.

Edit/deleted ... commercial use, so my reply is useless to OP. Quoted below, so may be useful for a home building project.

Just prepping for the 'sequel' and the next DC embarrassment. Sadly, never ending. Plenty of scripts to be 'inspired' by true events.

Thanks ... now you ruined the ending???????????? ????

Sugar is sugar. Granted, fruit sugar, especially if not just juice, gives a bunch more fiber & nutrients than table sugar, but in excess, a fruit diet, that's got to be too much sugar at the end the day. Heal you stomach issues .... don't know about you, but when I OD on fruit sugar, it upsets my stomach with all the acid it produces.

Diesel should be banned .... period. It's a disgusting health hazard. Hydrogen only practical for long haul, as diesel replacement. Until better batteries are available for long haul, heavy duty loads. Hydrogen is just another highly polluting fuel to produce, transport, store. No more, no less. Along with simply using too much energy to produce. Redundant, going from one krap fuel to another. Simply more profits for the fossil fuel conglomerates. I really don't think I have to explain myself. As apparently the anti EV'ers, simply don't understand it. As someone's signature states .. "I can explain it to you, but I can't make you understand it" ... Love that.

Yep, that pretty much mirrors my Udon Thani existence for 16 yrs. Made the best of it, but hindsight, and even while there, wouldn't be my first choice. Also lived 20 ish minute out of town, which provided almost everything. UT, KK, Korat or anywhere in the NE/Isan wouldn't be my first or top 100 places to live in TH. Half a year of air pollution is enough reason not to live there. If forced to live there, I'd probably leave the country, and my wife is from Nong Bua Lamphu. OP is in for a culture & lifestyle shock, coming from Phuket. Only positive, less congested traffic, if not living in the city. I don't see this ending well. Good Luck

Competition is a beautiful thing.

Never did the collar up thingy, for style, always thought it was stupid, and don't like things high up on my neck. Always wear loose clothes, and can't stand tight restricting apparel, damn annoying. I avoided the 'disco' age, and more jeans, flannels & doobies for me. Inexpensive & practical ???? All cotton for comfort. 'Grease is NOT the way' ... ????

Great....another anti EV'er, but agree, the Leaf is krap, especially in hot weather. Doesn't take much research to find which EVs are good, or bad. If people actually did a bit of research, before plopping down their ฿1 or ฿2M, then they'd be happy consumers instead of regretting their purchases. Can't fix stupid ... Importing used cars ... people would actually buy them ? Sounds high risk. Could import all the flooded cars from TH, all cleaned up and ready to sell ????

I would think during those 15ish yrs, the topic of not being an alky has been discussed. Failed, and now ready to bail. Wise choice, as why be miserable because of your partner. Not getting any younger ... enjoy life instead of waiting for someone else to change. For better or worst is fine ... if not self induced. You're on your own, if throwing you own life away. Not being an accident or health issue, leave her. And I don't agree with the sentiment, alcoholism is a disease. It's self inflicted, that's not a disease. Threw the 1st TH wife out for about the same, drank & gambled too much. Not nearly as patient as the op, less than 1 yrs and divorced. Too much living to do, to waste on other people.

Hard to equate the CH to TH price, until actually announced in TH, by the manufacturers. Hopefully ~฿1.5M is the price to start. Taking the MG ZS EV (2022) as an example, it sells for basically the same price here/TH, as it does in CH. BUT ... that includes a ฿240k baht govt incentive. Seems MG gave a huge govt incentive ฿240k & ฿247k for the ZS & EP respectfully. Making them quite the bargain, at a time with less competition, and kudos for that. That, the incentives, being passed to buyers now, seems to have been lowered to ฿150k, for other MG models, and other brands of late. MG ZS EV basically listed for ~20% more than CH price, and reduced to CH price via govt incentive. If ฿150k incentive, that would of reduced the price by only ~13% If Seal holds true to that math ฿150k incentive, then it also would be priced about the same as the CH price. Don't think we can expect anything better or much worse in pricing. So 1.5M would be a nice ballpark price to start. Again, those thinking of going EV, sooner the better, and I personally wouldn't wait for any new tech to hit the mass production line, and being available, before the incentives expire. Especially since new tech usually carries a new higher price, until the competition catches up to it. Also, considering the age of some of us retired folks here, if wanting to get some of that ROI, before the big BBQ, unless having a 20 ish yr old younger wife to pass the benefits on to.
