Since we rarely got out of the car when refueling, didn't realize there were that many inconsiderate people in the world ... silly me. They put the placard on your car, asking you to turn off ... nuff said I worked at gas station as a teen, bad enough you have to huff the petrol fumes, let alone the exhaust from cars. Really does make me wonder how some folks see themselves, when they interact with people every day. Are they really that consciously inconsiderate or just haven't a clue just how inconsiderate they are.

Also have sold Thai gold back to shops, at a nice profit I might add. I think first purchase (2000) was 3k or 6k/baht, now it's 30+k. Last time bought/sold, think it was 10k & 12k.

If buying, you wouldn't get much. Who would buy a used 18k ring here. Few Thais, just ignorant farangs. Only HiSo Thais bother with gemstones, and they wouldn't buy 2nd hand. You rarely see Thais with 18k ring or with stone settings. More into gold bands/rings, necklaces & bracelets. Obvious by any wall & display cases in the shops, as small part dedicated to rings w/settings. A lot of the customers, gold buying mindset is, IF I ever need to, I can always sell it for what I pay at least. Not with 18k, losing investment.

We'll take some of that down here ... ☂️

to the title ... doubtful, as almost impossible to sell.

I think that is more to avoid the sun, and looking like a outdoor laborer. Same when it's lovely outside, or headed to high temps 30C+ and they have a light jacket on.

That's 1 runoff into the gulf solved, maybe. How about all the rest of them ? If swimming at HH beach, or most of gulf beaches fronting any development, prepare for an ear infection. IMHO I no longer bother, or if so, the head stays out of the water. And that Ban Krut or Thung Wua Laen. Anywhere near HH ... hell no, even locally at Ao Manao/PKK, lesson learned.

Coffee shop is just OK, we prefer 'Srisanor Cafe' & Boutique Resort (close @ 1700 hrs) https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Srisanor+Cafe'+%26+Boutique+Resort/@11.7974553,99.8008948,3a,75y,51.3h,95.69t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6DNPsyqF1GmHF9Fbnz1WDQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m19!1m9!3m8!1s0x30fe851811d261eb:0xfb40336de353a587!2sThe+Jam+Bar!8m2!3d11.7974692!4d99.8008738!14m1!1BCgIgARICCAI!16s%2Fg%2F11qnsv5jcn!3m8!1s0x30fe8410730a5e77:0xbb6e1c1ecada64b4!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d11.7975345!4d99.8009476!16s%2Fg%2F11f3pk7_h6 Or Yai Coffee & Bread: https://www.google.com/maps/place/YAI+Coffee+%26+Bread/@11.7972192,99.7828044,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOcMaB7_22z7a6SZ8bd8-BA5t2QImSlpfhC2v4o!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOcMaB7_22z7a6SZ8bd8-BA5t2QImSlpfhC2v4o%3Dw203-h114-k-no!7i4032!8i2268!4m6!3m5!1s0x30fe855824366a97:0x96c3c5ceb04db3e0!8m2!3d11.7972192!4d99.7828044!16s%2Fg%2F11nmfykt19 Coffee shops seem to be our 'tourist attractions' ???????????? Being Wat'd, park & waterfall'd out. Same same, not different or special ???? Besides, some coffee shops have better waterfalls ????

Even if the masks work, (they don't IMHO), unless wearing complete eye protection, they are useless. Again ... IMHO

Have 2 Xiaomi s, no app required. Earlier version, can't comment on new models.

Only the most ignorant believe that. I was told that, and a stroll down Bangla road or first Songkran countered that idea. People are the same, worldwide.

At least they made it till 50+ motorcycle crash 21 2 different car crash 20 & 20 stabbed 22 shot 45 2 liver cancer 28 & 40 pancreatic cancer 45 lung caner 45 cardiac arrest 45 hit & run crossing street 48 drowned 23 AIDS 45 & 40 unknown in sleep 48 (TH) suicide 40 2 drug OD 22 & 40 I'm 68 ... every day is a gift

Hell no. Not sure what the competition is, but I'd give it a 5/10, and I may be generous. First of all, it's basically an animated/green screen cgi movie Storyline is terrible, and if didn't see the first, I wouldn't have finished watching it. Wife, who couldn't wait to see it, fell asleep...nuff said. I'll put that up there as the biggest disappointment of something I was looking forward to.

It's an OK time killer. 9.1 is way OTT.

If not going to make your own dough (quite easy), then just buy rolls, pizza sauce (if too lazy to make your own), some decent parmesan (not Cello) and Mazzella and just make pizza rolls. Damn tasty with your own toppings. This just on homemade bread, and got to be better than the frozen stuff I've seen. If you do go frozen, as stated, use oven, not microwave.

Now that the dog is usually in basket, and I don't want to dry her eyes out, I drive around 50 kph around town, as do most people. Even when by myself, I rarely hit 70 kph, as never going that far and always through a residential or business area. Might be on Phetkasem rd/hwy#4 for 500 meter at most, if at all. Days of being on a scooter, any size for more than 1 hr are way behind me.

Actually flip flops or trainers, though usually flip flops, as more than a few times, my laces on trainers got caught up on shifter. Only started wearing sandals/shower thingys since being here.

I drive the speed limit, with cruise control @ 90 kph, and many times seem like the slowest car on the road.

For those EV owners who want a frunk, but haven't found one available to buy, there is always DIY. As I searched for the ZS, not that I need one, as more than enough room. Keep the spare tire where all the cables were, and simply have them tucked away. Don't take much space Anyway, and Irish place does make one for the ZS. Nothing special, but this guy caught my eye, and simply used some basic stuff to fashion for his ZS ????

Yes, driving my 750 & 900cc back in states. I've maxed out on the Honda Sonic (125)here more than a few times 100-120k, before realizing, not the best idea. Got to mature sometime, better late than never. Wave (125) struggle to and maintaining 100 kph, without sounding like you're pushing it too hard. Weather permitting, sandals, shorts & t-shirt ????

That's all I've ever worn (weather permitting), whether TH or USA. Besides helmet of course.

I always turned the car off, as a courtesy to the workers, as if they don't have enough fumes to suck in all day, they didn't need me adding to it. Actually fire/explosion danger is fairly non existent. For car anyway.

@Ombra realized I didn't quote you, so incase you didn't see reply above.

Humans will definitely bring about their own demise. I think MMGW & Seas rising is the least of our concerns. There's a reason weaponizing (gain of function) research is illegal on US soil. You only do that for 1 reason. Drinking water will soon become the next overprice/gouged necessity in the not too distance future. It's obvious, there's too man people on the planet now ... surely 'they' are working on a solution, that will benefit 'them'. 'they & them' ... not used as pronouns for those wishing to live an alterative lifestyle, though does not exclude them from being part of those people.
