Because that's the rule for 'their' country. As with every country ... ... LOVE IT or LEAVE IT ... door swings both ways Seriously ... if you can't afford, or don't have 400k in savings for emergencies, you probably shouldn't be living internationally, and stay in home country with their useless safety nets. Go bankrupt there, it's safer, as at least they'll admit you to a hospital.

Lease & usufruct are a bit useless, if they don't want you there. At lease you know your pecking order in advance ... ... Plan B

EV competitive of the 'many' manufacturers and models available is stiff in CH. Not so much here, so it's priced for the TH market. Don't think it will change much, especially since the demand for Tesla is extremely high. Surpassed everything else in the price range, I think, with just the first round of orders. Impressive.

There may be some merit to mask wearing at public toilets ... ???? Think I'll wait till I get home ... I wonder if that vendor washed their hands, though just imagine all the krap on the faucets.

Universal replacement knob ...

Just on other side of our perimeter wall ...

Whoever she designates in the will ... ... that is what they are for. If no will, goes to children ... and they can fight over it. Do you have a Plan B ... ???? NO plan, is a plan to FAIL ... why no will registered, or trustworthy kid on the chanote.

If the fossil fuel conglomerates allow it to progress as they have the other alternative solution ... ... not in ours, our children's or their grandchildren's lifetime ????

Not familiar with the 'TPBI' product, but are biodegradable really as they advertise in the real world usage of: "Biodegradable plastic bags To put it simply, something is biodegradable when living things, like fungi or bacteria, can break it down. Biodegradable bags are made from plant-based materials like corn and wheat starch rather than petroleum. However when it comes to this kind of plastic, there are certain conditions required for the bag to begin to biodegrade. Firstly, temperatures need to reach 50 degrees Celsius. Secondly, the bag needs to be exposed to UV light. In an oceanic environment, you'd be hard pressed to meet either of these criteria. Plus, if biodegradable bags are sent to landfill, they break down without oxygen to produce methane, a greenhouse gas with a warming capacity 21 times more powerful than carbon dioxide." https://www.1millionwomen.com.au/blog/plastic-bags-whats-difference-between-degradable-compostable-and-biodegradable/

They will never replenish at the same rate, non farmed trees are harvested. Farmed harvesting is fine, but there should be a worldwide moratorium/ban on any other cutting down of trees.

One of the great pluses of living in TH ... NOT celebrating Christian based holidays. If not for mentioning in news or an AN, I'd not even know when they are. BLISS

Free market & competition is a beautiful thing. Capitalisms works if you let it.

Nothing wrong with plastic, for now. How it is disposed of, along with everything else in TH is the problem. Nothing eco friendly about cutting down trees for paper or for any reason, quite the opposite IMHO

Depends on the car, if 'designed' to use, as the ZS was. I tested all 3, and got about the same kpL, and a bit more pep with E85,surprisingly, though barely noticeable. Originally 25+% cheaper than 91, back in Sept 2020.

Disgustingly dirty creatures in high numbers. Almost killed my brother with respiratory infection. He used to race them, and one specialist figured out it was the pigeons as the source of infection. Sad the others didn't as I thought it was a bit obvious. But who listens to me ... ????

Lived just outside Udon Thani. 15 ish kms (BanTad & Ban Nong Kae) for 16 ish years. Though do have to plead ignorance on your area. Been down there a few times, but nothing of interest to encourage more exploring of the area. Be Safe

More fake news from CNN ... ... Musk no longer richest person, as CNN themselves reported earlier, but hey, why not add more falsehood the their reputation. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/07/business/elon-musk-wealth/index.html

Talk about a 'wired' crowd walking around ... ???? YaBa sales down that down.

Me neither ???? edit do to mild hallucination ????

Great ... back to getting every story of some old person dying with covid, that the common cold might have pushed him toward the grim reaper. IMHO Got to sell those vaccines ... cha ching

Sam Roi Yot, though 2 days would be more than enough. PKK, mentioned, Ao Manao being the swiimmer's beach, just OK for swimming, but lovely bay. On RTAF Wing 5 base, where hotel is available, and killing a couple days there would be nice, especially if surf is cooperating. If not swimming, then PKK surfside is nice, plenty of food, nice weekend market. Thur GH was a favorite of ours before moving here. Or somewhere else along the 6 kms of surf. Assuming you have transport, as little is available out of HH.

Gun enthusiast, although, does that count if I can't own one here. Not sure how guns would even come up in a conversation here. I find if I don't talk politics (boring, never comes up here) & religion (nobody does here), I can have a conversation with anyone. But Amazon coffee ... your on your own ... ???? There's a local-ish forum, UdonMap, and I know there's a few that used to live down there, years ago. Might try joining that and see who is local & like minded.

Got to die of something, if past most of our life expectancy when born, me, 1954, think it was 76, then that's going to be 'old age' for me, as if not that old, I probably wouldn't of die from what ever aliment does me in. Cancers get most when older. Pancreas is the only one that spooks me, as usually find out too late. Only know 3 expats, personally, sort of that passed. 1 near 80, maybe older, bad ticker last 20 yrs, smoked & drank 1 over 80, got cancer, and let it go, think tired of being here 1 only 55, didn't feel good, laid down for a rest & didn't get up ???? Another one is still kickin', in his 80s. Any others are a bit younger & healthy. So only 1 shocker. My parents, 69 & 74, although I got 1 cousin on my mother's side, going strong at 83, mentally & physically. That's reassuring. Every one else, family (aunts/uncles), died of cancers, younger than my parents, and all chain smokers & alkys, which I'm neither. I'm happy with 76, if in decent health. Seems short time now, 8 ish more years, so if make to 80s, even better. Since most Yanks retire around 65 ish yrs old, and I've been for 22+ yrs, that makes my 87 already ... ???? My new math:
