"So, the paper filter doesn't necessarily block the cholesterol-raising compound, but the fine particles carrying it. Switching from a coffee maker or French press with a metal mesh filter to one with a paper filter (or adding a paper filter) can cut more than 90 percent of cafestol." https://nutritionfacts.org/2022/09/20/paper-filtered-coffee-and-cholesterol/#:~:text=So%2C the paper filter doesn,than 90 percent of cafestol. Along with the finest grounds that will make it thru my SS drip filter, so no sludge at the bottom of cup ☕

We travel with our own. When hitting shops, usually order Cappuccino, as more forgiving. More pastry run than coffee.

My dogs a lot cleaner, and leaves the room a lot nicer than many humans I've seen at hotels.

100 kms away from PKK (municipality)

Not sure how accepting they're getting, as I struggle sometimes getting a place near where I want to be. At ibis now as I type, and if all else fails, and there's an ibis, we're good. Was looking at Krung Thep earlier today, and slim pickins under ฿2000, for pet friendly & secure parking, being another issue. I don't do street parking. Lack of green space in Krung Thep is more of an issue sometimes. I really don't need ฿2000 worth of amenities, as won't use. Some are great, no or as stated ฿1-200 pet charge, others just damn silly. Can't blame them though, as if a hotel owning, I probably wouldn't allow either ????

There's no Central in HH, not even a Robinsons. I personally wouldn't buy one in PKK, as quality and authenticity would be suspect. Not your choice, but without travelling, name brand store online would be the way to go IMHO PKK not exactly heavy with tech stores

Booking.com is usually fairly accurate with their info, simply filter; pet friendly & parking. If have Thai wife then can call some of the others. Also look on Gmap for hotel options, but the 'pet friendly' filter doesn't work very good. Been a while since we stayed at Nan, so can really recommend anything. Quick peek at Booking.com and 14 options for 30 Nov. Nothing looking familiar, and a couple seem fine. Good luck This one caught my eye, not cheap though, depended if and what the pet charge is, as stating 'charges may apply' Nan Rim Nam Resort

No electric available, all the EV are charging at 1800.

So as healthy as any processed food or veggies you buy at the market ????

You are so wrong it's unbelievable. THC last about 2 yrs, at least. I bought an ounce in Udon Thani, took me about 2 yrs to smoke, and it was almost as good in the end as it was in the beginning. I did have too much though, for as much as I smoke, so gave about half to my nephew, who is really enjoying. Said it would cost about $200 un the USA, an 'ounce'. He hasn't smoked any since coming to TH, about 5 years at least. Even what I have now, about 75gr will take couple years for me to smoke. 1 doobie a month, yea. 75 months, so I'll be giving him more next time he pops down from NBLP. Quick Google, and look at that. Maybe in 2 years it may take a whole doobie for that buzz I get now on a half... ... "When stored properly (more on this later), dried cannabis keeps for 6 months to 1 year. Over time, it begins to lose its aroma and potency. According to some older research, weed loses roughly 16 percent of its THC after 1 year, and it just keeps dropping from there: 26 percent THC lost after 2 years."

Carabao band is excellent. Saw them at Tawan Daeng @ Udon Thani Thailand has more than a few excellent musical talents. Shame the format at the Hua Hin Jazz Festival changed so much. First 8 festivals, 'beer sponsored' were excellent. Down hill ever since.

Yep ... I'm Anti-Label myself Male & female works, anything else, is your personal choice, and I prefer not to know and you don't need to shout it at me. NOBODY CARES

BUT BUT BUT ... DON'T DEFLECT IMHO ... US/UK/NATO are the true terrorist in the world. With every regime change and civil war that they start. Millions die. Repeated over & over; Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghan, Vietnam, Korea, more than a few South & Central American countries & Africa. Surely you're not that ignorant, or I would hope not.

One section does get 'blocked' at high tide, during those high tide session, a couple times a year.

Granted, no surfside promenade to walk along, but there is about 6 km of beach between Centara & Big Buddha. Personally a fan of the southern beach are, if starting at Big Buddha. Head northward, till had enough, then streetside for a café, beverage and or munch. Or find a starting point a bit north of Big Buddha, and end up at PAGE Beach Bar at VERSO for that munch & sipping. Centara is so .... yester-year-decade ????

Not this year, not any year ...

AFAIK ... That's one opinion ... wrong of course: "Because most of the information from Operation Desert Storm is still classified, it is difficult to make definitive judgments about the impact of attacks on electrical power, but once again electric power was a high priority target." https://media.defense.gov/2017/Dec/29/2001861964/-1/-1/0/T_GRIFFITH_STRATEGIC_ATTACK.PDF "The United States attacked al-Nasiriyya 400 kV Electrical Power Transformer Station on March 22, 2003, with a carbon fiber bomb designed to disable power. The city lost power for thirty days. © 2003 Reuben E. Brigety, II / Human Rights Watch The transformer station is the critical link between al-Nasiriyya Electrical Power Production Plant and the city of al-Nasiriyya.103 When the transformer station went off-line it removed the southern link to all power in the city, which was then totally reliant on the North Electrical Station 132. Although the carbon fiber is supposed to incapacitate temporarily, three transformers were completely destroyed by a fire from a short circuit caused by the carbon fiber. The station’s wires seemed to have been melted by the intense fire. Human Rights Watch was told that the transformers would have to be replaced and the entire facility rewired. On March 23 at 10:00 a.m., the United States attacked North Electrical Station 132. Hassan Dawud, an engineer at the station when it was attacked, said a U.S. aircraft strafed the facility, destroying three transformers, gas pipes, and the air conditioning, which brought the entire facility down as components that were not damaged by the attack overheated.104 Damage to the transformers and air conditioning were clearly visible, including large holes in the walls consistent with aircraft cannon fire. Further north in Rafi on Highway 7, Human Rights Watch found a transformer station with significant damage from air strikes, including at least one destroyed transformer. From its investigations, it is unclear to Human Rights Watch what effective contribution to Iraqi military action these facilities were making and why attacking them offered a definite military advantage to the United States, and in particular how they supported the ground operations in al-Nasiriyya. Two senior CENTCOM officials declined to comment on these attacks.105 Human Rights Watch does not understand the military necessity and rationale for these attacks and calls on the United States to explain them fully. The attacks caused significant and long-term damage, and the civilian cost was high. Dr. `Ali `Abd al-Sayyid, director of al-Nasiriyya General Hospital, told Human Rights Watch that the loss of power was a huge impediment to the proper treatment of war wounded. No one died as a direct result of the power loss, but the hospital’s generators were taxed to their limit and it had to do away with some non-critical services to ensure the wounded were given basic treatment. He also stated that the loss of power created a water crisis in the city.106 Human Rights Watch researchers saw many areas in al-Nasiriyya where people had dug up water and sewage pipes outside their homes in a vain attempt to get drinking water. Even when successful, the water was often contaminated because the power outage prevented water purification. This led to what Dr. `Abd al-Sayyid termed “water-born diarrheal infections." https://www.hrw.org/reports/2003/usa1203/4.5.htm Who do you suppose took out the Nord Stream pipeline, US or NATO, or joint operation ?

I have Pink ID & DL, didn't need either, as best to plan when to renew, during a period when you won't need it. I did just after my 90 day pulse check, and didn't need any bank services, not that I need PP for them. Never use my PP for hotels anyway. Can't remember last time someone asked me for my PP.

IF in TH, takes 2-3 weeks turn around. Did mine about 2 months ago, and got it back < 3 weeks as others have also. Simple, easy, fast.

If you read thread, instead of the last page, you find more than a few sources suggested. Buddha helps those that help themselves ...

From an investor's POV, I always looked at 'trends' and did quite well ... ???? https://www.ev-volumes.com/

More like a heath issue while walking in out going surf. Who bothers with swim trunks, cigs & condom if offing yourself. Nobody is dumb enough to think a 1 kg rock is going to sink you. Since wearing the backpack, kind of rules out foul play. Unless of course he swam out into the surf to avoid a mugging, and misjudged his ability to tread water longer than the threat. OK, I'm bored
