Am I suppose to list every website and or vid I watched about sugar ? Over my adult lifetime. Did I read a study, research paper ... NO, as those results end up satisfying the folks that funded the research. Then someone will fund another research study a year later, and counter the previous one. We've all seen that over & over. I did post a most informative vid about sugar, and if anyone watched that, that pretty much explains most things. I even noted many would probably want to skip through to the more pertinent stuff that might interest them. Explains all types of sugars and how used, and with that info, you can make an informed decision to eat, or not. If watched ... Explains why I pretty much stick to good ol' white table sugar. Most foods we eat are home cooked from scratch, so we get to control all the ingredients. 'L' follows (trolls) me enough to know that.

And ...SA paid a premium price: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/6/south-africa-held-to-ransom-by-big-pharma-overcharged-for-covid-vaccines

How this is a surprise to anyone, is the amazing part. Remember, so "Safe & Effective", the big pharm, companies, CDC/FDA got the definition of vaccine changed. In the USA anyway ... the "vaccines", basically a pre-exposure prophylaxis” or “PrEP”, re-classed as a vaccine, which falls under a different set of rules (liability/compensation) and in a different court, where settlements are quick, and big pharm not held 'liable'. Why I never Q'd up for the silliness, of experimental PrEP s. Vaccines every 3-6 months, that's some funny sh!t right there. Maybe in 50 yrs, you'll be able to read all the drug trial info ... they are trying so hard not to release ... ???? DISCLAIMER: These thoughts are IMHO and IMHO only. Your opinion may differ.

@Old car dealer agree with bignok, if lady coming just to see you, then pop down to see her instead, and take in Phatthalung. Experience a different TH if haven't already. Unless she's just heading to Patts to work, then as stated by other, no airport at Phatthalung, so she'll need to plan accordingly.

Actually .. I apparently eat fairly healthy, now, relative to others. Never was a deep fried food eater. Olive & peanut oil when indulging. Sugar wise, most eaten is good ol' white table sugar, or brown if cookies or brownies, and actually the best sugar, even low in calories, if one counts those. I'd rather eat a beef or pork tenderloin, giving up a bit of fat flavor, for tenderness, so a leaner, healthier cut of meat. Prefer seafood over land critters, sometime healthier. All in moderation. My weak area, since in TH, is veggies, so take a multi vit to supplement that. Pre-TH, it was the amount of food I ate compared to now, that amazes me, looking back. Still fairly healthy, though more dining out...a lot more. But burned it off also working & playing hard. Almost no alcohol, past 15 yrs, and apparently a major difference to most other expats, or so implied from reading forum. Never was a buffet fan, though did my share of, and pigged out when did, so avoid, unless extreme quality, and luckily, that's rare or expensive.

Doesn't the same happen in Thailand? With the non-chinese expats that use agents simply but can't afford to take over since they barely exist here on their pittance of their retirement that they can't even make the financials for visa.

Pence is not stranger to telling porkies himself, especially during covid:

Reading comprehension of my post would avoid you asking for research. Obviously many, most don't read or watch what I link, and I'm not going to waste time repeating myself. Re-read what I've posted slowly & carefully, as I don't think I need to add any more to be understood. I'll do me, which seems to work just fine, you do you ... ENJOY

Geez, would you all just leave already. That would be a big improvement in you life ... or not.

Again, you keep repeating the same false spin. They could service them, no problem, but unfortunately, needed to quite often.

and yet ... nuff said

Haven't a clue, sorry, can't help, never bought. Never crossed my mind to have here. You first ????

Pedal bike, 0 impact, or stationary if concerned about having an oops. Also these type seem to be the ticket for many:

Finally, someone with taste buds, and mirrors our beans at home a bit ???? Add some Tomato sauce, Siracha, bbq sauce & seasonings.

Pepsi (diet) over coke for my Rum & Coke, when I use to indulge. Now it's Mojitos or Mochitos, using Schweppes lemon/lime, when lazy, more times than not.

7/12 ? Can charge when every you want, though since having solar, we charge during daytime, such as now. No limit to when we use our car. Charging while sleeping certainly wouldn't be an inconvenience.

And overnight if on the grid (7.4kWh) @Dmitry2222

Nah ... nobody drains battery to 0% 2 hours, usually less and mine is done, 30-100% (72v/50Ah) DECO SUSU (mine) SUSU - Updated battery:

Agree, and my blood sugar level has always been extreme high end of normal. Knockin' on 69 yrs old, pastry & ice cream junkie, and so far, not diabetic ... ???? Every doc has told me to cut back. But table/white sugar, mostly used at bakeries, and some brown sugar, is the better of the sugars, relative. That might explain it, and as stated, avoid sugar drinks and alcohol. Mostly home cooking, so overly processed food intake is at a minimum. Either very lucky, or from my experience, sugar itself, in my diet, is not the demon it's made out to be. YMMV ... with your types of sugar & genetics.

@GammaGlobulin Amazon has it for 7200 baht $84+$118 (S&H&duty) but make sure it's 220v or whatever offered for UK, EU, SEA

They're a bit silly priced here, compared to US (<$100 USD), UK or EU. Saw the 3L mini Duo 7 in 1 on LAZ for 10k. Large enough for us, then they go up in price for 5 or 7L. Almost bought it, but we have so many appliances already, only advantage really for us would be the pressure cooker, for beans and meat (beef stew or Massamans). So gave it a pass. If just starting to stock kitchen with appliance, it does cut out the need for most, oven or stove top cooking. As I stated, doesn't do rice well. Instant Pot 3L other size & prices You want the 'Duo 7 in 1' as newest version I believe

The ones supplied by MG, and installed for free are more than enough for us, and considering most is done by emergency charger/cord, using solar, that's saying quite a bit. Even if one has to pay 4.5-5 baht a kWh at home, that's a bargain compared to 39+ baht a liter, at the petrol pump. 200 vs 1000 baht to go 360 kms for us, IF, we used the grid to charge. And no waiting a petrol station to fill up every week or so, no silly oil changes every 10k kms or tune-ups to concern ourselves with.
