The U.S dollar index is now under 100
KhunLA replied to SiamAndy's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
No ... Jan 21st ... ฿34 / $1 Now ... ฿33.5 / $1 Feb, Mar, Apr DD @ BBL I might get concerned IF it goes below ฿30 / $1 ... ... or not, since it's done that numerous times in the past 20 years. -
Does living in Thailand drive you to drink?
KhunLA replied to Don Giovanni's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Say what ... I drove myself, literally and figuratively to drink, and the wife drove me home. Well, almost 20 yrs ago and beyond. TH is a location. Blame your stupidity of a country, if it makes you feel better -
EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
2022 MG ZS BEV ... Now @ 40k kms, 29+ months of owning. First 20k kms put on in first year. Took quite a bit longer for second 20k kms. No issues, still 'Lovin' it'. Local driving energized with solar, so enjoying the performance & savings vs ICE version. ~฿50+k per 20k kms, potential savings if all local driving, charged with solar. ~฿40+k if using PEA/MEA @ 5 / kWh vs ICE version of ZS Unscientific battery degradation ~3.7% over that time/kms. New ... 403 NEDC range Now ... 388 NEDC range, or so the ZS is telling me. Well within what ever the 8 yr warranty is, 70 or 80% capacity. 8 X 12 = 96 months 96 ÷ 29 = 3.31 3.7% X 3.31 = 12.25% 100% - 12.25% = 87.75% My understanding is, fastest degradation is when newer. So don't expect any surprises in the future. This will be my last vehicle, I think, and probably the wife's, as kms will be added much slower after I crap out. I'm the driving force for O&As. Our mandatory local driving is less than 10 kms a week, and that's a stretch. All could be done with the E-MB, so owning a car at all is a frivolous, convenience expense. HAPPY MOTORING 😎 -
Popped into Sam Roi Yot Beach, on the way back from Hua Hin. Just a day outing, as dog needed some new sniffs, and I needed a different view of the Gulf. Nice area, though I wouldn't fly around the world to see it, especially this time of year, if you want to actually 'see' it. Nice camper van, to the left, with expanding solar panel array atop, with at least 3 panels. As we heading north from PKK to HH, the southbound traffic was backed up, very far at the major intersections (3 traffic lights), so we opted for the scenic route, returning home. Rather move slower with a view, than wait at traffic lights. Surprisingly heavy, for a Thursday.

You'd think they'd give him more than a couple months before assessing his performance. The Dow or even the S&P is not an indicator of anything, unless you are invested in, which most people are not. If their pensions are, then that's long term, and probably up since they started employment, and or will be when they retire. If the company or union they belong to doesn't screw them over before hand. Comical, that most haters, aren't even Yanks, and probably close to or already retired, and anything he or the USA does, won't affect them at all. I'm a yank, and not worried about anything they do over there, as minimal effect. THB / USD exchange rate might fluctuate 10-15%, or COLA will be -0- instead of 2-3-4 or ever 5%. Oh my ... PANIC If you can't take a 0-20% hit in your finances, you've already screwed up, all by yourself.

Sh!t happens ... ... IF, you don't break the law, enter countries illegally, sh!t usually doesn't happen. Next time, when released, maybe he'll go elsewhere. As will anyone else that reads or hears about his story. One can only hope. Needs a lot more press coverage. Let the world know, criminals are not welcome in the USA.

If he followed the law, then he wouldn't have a problem. I get wanting asylum and leaving El Salvador. He escaped El Salvador, when (assuming) he entered Guatemala. Or he could have went to Honduras, or Belize, or Nicaragua. NO, instead, after escaping El Salvador, into Guatemala, he traveled about 2500 kms to the USA border, and illegally entered the USA. Could have legally asked for asylum in 2 countries along the way, and or, at the border of the USA, like all the other legally entering asylum seekers. But he chose to be a criminal ... ... oh well, live with our choices. I didn't illegally enter TH, and if I did, I would expect to be deported

Watch What You Say - Are they are watching you too?

I actually hope it does Opinions are fine, but all the hate, stay home with that. If here, please leave -
I know one couple

With that paranoia, guess they never eat at restaurants either

A favorite of ours, if on Hwy #4, only 5 mins / 4.5 kms away. If taking scenic route, from Sam Roi Yot Beach to PKK, then you pass it on the way.

Chinese Couple Arrested in Pattaya for Lewd Public Photo Shoot
KhunLA replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
Checked that one off ... ... now, moving down that 'bucket list' 👍 Can't say I haven't done the same, though a lot more discreet than that. On a Patts walkway ... nah, not on any of my lists -
I'm low tech and can't afford that fancy mug. Drink my first cup, while 2nd cup is still filtering. Use French press, then passes through paper filter. First cup fills up fast, 2nd a bit slower, and needs a reheat in the microwave. Drink them down while catching up on the world, and trolling AN, while being entertained. Get my morning comic relief, almost all in one place, before moving over to real news and educational vid programming

Got me beat, as actually weighed my morning cup, 425ml. Rarely drink coffee after 1200 hrs. 28 oz = 828ml
