  1. They're not documentaries, they're comedies, and would probably be banned today... ... nuff said
  2. Yo kids ... Tandy / DOS only ... screeching phone conx ... ???? And damn expensive ... speeds, hold on, I'll go make coffee ... ????
  3. Excellent. Favorite Gulf beach when cooperating. Same with Thung Wua Laen (16 kms N of Chumphon). When I discovered these, and if surf cooperating, I stopped going to Phuket. If Ban Krut had a Makro, we'd be living there. Less than 1 hour S of us. Hua Hin, just over 1 hr N of us. Didn't finalize plan to live here / PKK till they opened a Makro ????
  4. Mirrors my experience with 4 purchases. 2 were in stock, as entry, no options, Vios/Udon Thani. Mazda2 / UT, told a month, and arrived early. MG / Hua Hin, told a month and arrived early.
  5. You can get nice ones for 15-20k, and good spec'd. There selling point is portability. Put 1 or 2 in the trunk, and you got knock around town transport when you arrive somewhere.
  6. Just saw your other reply, 3-7days, as I thought you were considering living in one of them. Where you coming from ? and assume you have transport, as needed, to really explore, except for the metros.
  7. With 1 exception, have only played tourist, and not one to stay long, though multiple visits to most: Ubon ... 5 OK, close to river, not too touristy/expat infected. Mukdahan ... 5 ... river town, a plus, need to self entertain That Phanom ... 8 nice river town, need to self entertain Nakhon Phanom ... 8 Same as That ... stone's throw away. Laos close by (bridge) Khon Kaen ... 4 ... been there numerous times, never warmed up to it. Udon Thani ... Lived there 16 yrs, not entirely by choice, but good mix. Best metro in crappy area to live, besides Krung Thep, for metro living. Great food town, and diverse landscape on edge of plateau, if going out to peek out. Most that live there, haven't a clue. Horrible expat community ???? Nong Khai ... 9 for NE, nice river town, more to do than others, close to Chiang Khan & Vientianne. Vientianne ... only visited, more than few times. Love it, but, visa and inter Laos relationships would make for a huge problem living there Phitsanulok ... too short of visit, nice natural area, but really can't say much Sukhothai ... 7 old - rural ... 8 new - rural with some comforts Lopburi ... NO - monkeys turn me off, never been more than 1 day ??? Khorat ... 4 been more than a few times, never warmed up to it Nakhon Sawan ... 7 liked it, and need to pop back in for visit, as long time ago Education & hospitals, are only going to be available at the metros: Udon Thani, KK, Korat, Ubon Really not a fan of anywhere, living there, N of about Hua Hin, due to the air pollution half the year. It's horrible too many months. Even HH gets it. We (PKK) get it for about 2 months, near AQI of 75-100 Go South if you can, you won't regret. Damn hot though, as no real cool season. OK overnight when rainy season, actually quite nice of late. Days can & will be brutal at times.
  8. Yea, it is. I really don't care about the past, it's gone, and nothing evolution wise interests or benefits my 'now'. Really not that interested in the future, as don't really expect to be around that long, 10 maybe, 15 or 20 more years, that's a stretch. My future references are more like, when the damn EV gettin' here, Xmas ?. What to do with the ICE, though I think that is solved. Now, where to go first, on a 2 week out & about ? Got about 4 months to plan, so plenty of time to set up new house, and that's my future till next year. That's about as far as I can, or need to think ahead. Pass New Years is a mystery, just the way like it. My fellow Christian brothers (real brothers) are hard thinking and expecting the 2nd coming or eternal afterlife. Praise Jesus. Yea, we don't talk much ... ???? At least avoid that subject. I'm busy chuckling at the folk worried about that 1°C uptick in the temp over the next 100 yrs they won't be around for, or even happen. Or the 30cm of rising tide that is a big nothing. More wasted time, and the ultimate waste ... thinking about space travel & colonization of other rocks out there. That will never .... ever happen. Can't even keep shuttles safely in the air. And at the speed of 'you're dead before you arrive' ... ????
  9. Proving the bible is the farce that it is, too easy, but, doesn't answer the query ... ... GOD ... yay or nay ? Nay if taken in the context of the bible ... creating all. Then he/she/it has a terrible sense of humor. Cancer, covid, WMD ... what an A$$hole. Yay ... been some miraculous things happen, that simply are hard to explain scientifically. If you believe in GOD, then belief in afterlife follows. I'm nay on both those. Any and all version that are preached.
  10. Deleted already, but think I got an email when shipped (and maybe payment confirmation), then simply followed the tracking service. Ordered 7th, shipped 9th, received 11th @ Prachuap Khiri Khan.
  11. Nah, don't hang out with them either ... ???? I don't do negative ... PEACE & LOVE BABY ...
  12. Guessing it would depend on what model, options, color. Time to go do some window shopping and ask.
  13. The simple fact we have to ask permission to stay, every year, yes, we ARE guests. Been hearing the same complaints for 20+ years, all passed up the 'chain of command' and have noticed absolutely no change for our benefits. Only good changes, enforcement of Imm rules, which got rid of some complainers ????
  14. Happily I've been unjudgmental of folks ever since I could think for myself, surprisingly, from about 6 yrs old ???? I think I would have answered 'Lou' in my most feminine voice ... "oh honey, we ain't all that bad" ????
  15. Depends. 2nd house, I forgot about the axis, and in Dec, plotted it out, when sun comes up due E. Then July, got a 20° N'ern angle to it, and blinding when coming out of the bedroom in the early AM. As N wall was mostly glass. Didn't really affect temp much, as tinted and AC on most of the time. Probably used a bit more electric till about 1030 hrs. Of course if build the house to block that, then Dec, setting sun would come in, and would depend where you are and which you prefer, if either. Pretty much a non issue, but something to be aware of. Again, an extended roof, would solve that. Present house has no exposure on S wall, E & W has long extended roof, with veranda on E side & might get 2 hrs in the AM, at most. W almost none, as carport on that side. Again, not that it matters, as well built & insulated w/AC on all the time.
  16. Use this for frothing, and works surprisingly well, and surprisingly, has lasted years. All of 60 baht from Daiso.
  17. 14k+ replies for a yes or no answer, of which neither answer can be proven nor disproven. Mind boggling.
  18. Yep, until they start using them computers, I don't think there is much to worry about if not paying tickets here. I await the first one that reports repercussions from not paying. Though I suspect my future driving will be a bit more legal, around that 90 kph mark. Not due to fear of being cited, but better range with an EV. 120 vs 90 kph, you really don't gain much time. Maybe 1/2 hr earlier arrival on a 4 hr trip, if lucky. Not a whole lot of interprovince roads here without intersections, if any.
  19. Depends on the building material, or you talking simply paint. Lighter colors reflect, darker absorb. Basic science. Bad to good block for exterior walls; red brick ???? - cinder - insulated ???? (super/k/q block) goes by various names. Roof (vented), I'd go with insulated rolled steel (BlueScope), then insulation 37/38 above ceiling tiles/board. Tinted glass (in glass, not film). All available here.
  20. Yes, the southern wall will have exposure all day, most months. North will get some, part of the year, due to the axis. Depending where building, you may want a little sunshine coming in during those months. If wanting to keep house cool, aside from curtains of course, then shading / extended roofs are the way to go. I found E & W need a bit more extending, though not exposed as long, than S wall, on our builds in Udon Thani & Prachuap Khiri Khan.
  21. 100 out of 183 countries, and about mid way for ending their depression - wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate
  22. Thought to myself "that's going to take awhile" ... CM via tuk tuk ???? Hollywood did the same with Hangover movie, BKK - Krabi, couple hrs by speedboat.
  23. Apparently millions of citations end up in the same place. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30356768 https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1685908/traffic-fine-defaulters-exceed-80-
  24. I can tell also, after 50 years of 'experimenting' Doing a tester last night, actually for the carbon filter, if smoother smoke if using, and any absorption of THC while using. Carbon filter failed miserably, as no additional 'smoothness' noted. On to % content ... half of a half gram doobie, and feeling fine. Percentage rating ... DAMN GOOD, after 1/4 gr ingested. Lasted a couple hours. Green Lab's Thai Stick – Tanaosri WA1 (฿79 / gr + ฿60 shipping = ฿139 gr)
