Haven't a clue, been years, and won't ride them again, unless a local at Krung Thep. Would think thing fairly regular, as things are getting back to normal, sort of. At least a couple a day.

Agree, if have a chance, definitely go. Also saw one over the river @ ICONSIAM, and very impressive, and I'm not easily impressed.

Does seem to be going for the 'farang' experience, so not a bad choice. May be bored with or think bkk, patts, bangla rd are OTT.

Not really, as you had a photo of someone, fit & strong, as did I, but fit & strong does NOT = healthy. Topic is about 'healthy' diets. Most, like myself, I think would rather be healthy as I've been around 10 yrs longer than Randy already, and hopefully another 10 to go.

I wouldn't meet anyone on the forum for a pissin' contest. If happy & healthy, who cares who tall or heavy one is....or how far they can walk.

and .... ... any body builder, weight lifter could be using, and looking fit & strong.

You're expecting people to be honest on an anonymous forum ????

Looks fit & strong, but that doesn't necessarily = healthy. Fit & strong .... dead at 58 yrs old / coronary

USA taller than about the 100 countries shorter on the list vs the 43 ish countries taller on the list. Not than anyone but you cares about 179 vs 175 ... 1.5" ????

To you ... 174 is short to me ???? 175 is still above average

USA being in the top half of that list differs with your 'opinion' With CH about the same height and IN a bit shorter, though bottom half of that list, I'd say that's a good portion of the world population = USA above average, not short.

RF is 185cm, I already post, and 6'1'' is not average at all I'm average @ 5'9" "Introduction. The average height in America is 5'9″ for men and 5'4″ for women. However, it may vary from state to state."

Too late to edit, but ZS, ES, MG4 have LFP. EP PLUS ? https://www.mgcars.com/th/mg-models/new-mg4-electric/price "As for the MG ES, it comes with a new generation of 8 Layer Hair Pin electric motors, providing a maximum power of 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 280 Nm, equipped with a 51 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack . 412 km per charge (NEDC standard) with 3-level adjustable KERS energy recovery system" https://www.autofun.co.th/news/2023-mg-es-vs-mg-ep-comparison-64415 LFP (already linked previous post)

Yes, ZS is LFP, so expecting a long life barring any oops: https://zecar.com/resources/what-are-lfp-nmc-nca-batteries-in-electric-cars and available for modular replacement https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/en/products/lfp-12v/#:~:text=This robust 12 V battery,in a high energy density.

@swissie "What does it all mean for US $ expats? In short and simplyfied: Over time you will get less THB for your US $" As I stated earlier, not noticing getting less, the past few US administration. 30-35 THB / 1 USD. Remaining steady past 15+ yrs, since Jan 2007. Rarely going below 30, and some nice peaks above 35. Fluctuation of ~10% from where it is now. https://tradingeconomics.com/thailand/currency

He is a tennis player, legs & arms being the priority. But agree, he's far from what many would consider buff, but also not juiced up. Looking quite healthy. I prefer a bit more upper body mass. Manual labor did that for me in my early years, and decades cycling developed my legs. Now I'm just lazy ???? so not as solid as I used to be.

Should be interesting, if not ousted via EC court, as FF party leader was, and party banned. Does show the Thais are tired of the generals ruling. Now if the can keep a non general in office long enough to matter. If ousted, the violent or not so violent protests would give the generals reason to once again, do a coup, to restore order, there excuse the last time. 2 non general administration elected since I've been here, and both coup'd. See if the 3rd time a charm. Hopefully the generals are too old and sensible to care.

Depends how tall you are, and your muscle mass. That's a good weight for him, 185cm. Normal looking muscle mass needed for a tennis playing. If this photo is 85kg, he has a wee bit extra. I'm 175cm, and OK muscle mass, which gives me a little extra, if sick, as about the same weight, @ 80-84kg. I wouldn't want to go below 75, way too small for me, and if I worked out a bit, 85 would be looking buff. Too lazy for that, so I try to stay closer to 80kg. Was 78 last year or so, and felt small. I don't mind a few extra.

Yes, my status was irrelevant, daughter having a mother figure just a plus. We'd be together whether I was single or single parent. That she accepts my daughter, simply added value to her character. Many wouldn't consider it.

Sounding a wee bit shallow to me. So if you met a person who made you laugh, and held an intelligent conversation, a best friend, you're saying you'd pass on her/him/it, if not meeting the 'trophy wife/partner' requirement. hmm ...

Depends what & where I'm eating and or sipping. In house, washing down a couple Chile Dog, just standard beer glass: Hot or Cold Coffee @ house: In house Mojito or milk glass, is homemade/cut from wine bottle. Away from house, non restaurant, then it's the Yeti:

I thought it an excellent assignment, but I'm a free thinking person. Gives the teacher, assuming at least 10+ yrs older than her class, an idea of her students' mindset, and how to discuss those issues presented in the future. Help them sort the facts from the stereotypes. Along with giving the teacher an idea, assuming, it's also English Lit/reading class also, what reading to suggest in the future assignments, to maybe counter any student's view. Help them open their mind with a different prospective. If any presentation was offensive, she could simply stop that student from continuing, and get some 1 on 1 time to discuss why she stopped him. Kudos for a teacher letting students express themselves. Can't solve problems if you don't talk about them. Dictating thinking, creates as much hate as you are trying to stop.

That would be a trip. Wouldn't suggest anyone doing that solo, and always best to have an 'experienced' mentor/chaperone with you, JIC needing a reality check.

YT has vids to replace, and actually looks easier than others, though didn't notice any in English, not really needed. Can't help with source for battery, no more than just doing Gsearch.

Well deserved, @ 5.5 on IMDB, and consider that, very generous. If not completely out of things to watch, I wouldn't have bothered.
