How much do the average Thai person earn ?
KhunLA replied to Baron Samedi's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What's average ? You also can't judge by govt stats of medium income. Through the top 1-5-20% earnings in with the bottom 50% earners skews any results. Just like everywhere, minimum wage jobs and not careers, and should be stepping stones to bettering your financial position in the future. Flipping burgers or cashier at 7-11 aren't career moves unless going into management of. People's incomes are what the make of themselves. -

Chiang Mai Air Quality and Pollution
KhunLA replied to Cheesekraft's topic in Air Pollution in Thailand
Yes, glad they are making great headway every year in controlling it .... .... in the headlines anyway, as it seem to be getting worse & worse every year. -
They look & sound pretty cool, though my opinion of them has changed over the years, to unnecessarily loud & annoying ???? I couldn't own one, or enjoy riding them. Borrowed a buddy's (1200, unbaffled) for the day way back when, and the noise would be just too annoying to ride all day, even though behind me. It was refreshing to get back on my Honda 900, quiet and smooth ride, and upgraded performance. They really are overpriced show pieces, and now, USA, quieted down to Honda level. Same buddy bought a new full dresser, and when started, he joked "W T F, you put a HD emblem on Honda", and for him, it took the joy out of riding.

Chiang Mai Air Quality and Pollution
KhunLA replied to Cheesekraft's topic in Air Pollution in Thailand
Best of luck dealing with it. No way could I live up there, or Hua Hin or above. 16 yrs in Udon Thani was bad enough, with some horrid pollution. It's already started this year, and too damn early. Here hitting AQI of 80. Breaking 100 already in parts of TH. My only true negatives of TH, air pollution, and litter, though the latter not too bad where we are. -
Just a thrifty shopper. Vendor I used, sells TS & Gr Crack for ฿1400/100gr(฿14/gr) Just received 50g of 'red string' ? for ฿400/฿8gr, and sell 100g for ฿600, but I have too much already that I'll never be able to smoke in a few years. Just wanted to try since very good review, and 1/2 gr did the trip. Quite nice, and all 3 (RS / TS / GC) about the same. Red string being compressed about the only difference. Don't see the point of paying 5-10-20 times the amount for manicured buds of the same plant. It's a joint, not a beer, spirit or liquor, so not much difference in the smoking of. Not like it's a menthol cig vs regular.

For many, Thailand’s UN vote on Russia still a puzzle
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
... On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine ... "The overall number of estimated deaths in the War in Donbas, which started on 6 April 2014, was 14,200–14,400 through 31 December 2021, including non-combat military deaths. Most of the deaths took place in the first two years of the war between 2014 and 2015, when major combat took place before the Minsk agreements." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War#:~:text=The overall number of estimated,place before the Minsk agreements. Did Ukraine bomb the Donbas? "Radio Liberty also concluded that "Despite Denials, All Evidence For Deadly Explosion Points To Kyiv". CNN said that it was the first time that civilians had been killed in an attack by the Ukrainian air force during the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in the Donbas." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbas_(2014–2022) -
Easily smog protection, as I see it's starting even earlier this year. Usually mid Nov, now mid/late Oct ... ???? ???? Lot of 70-80-90s, with a couple breaking 100 AQI

Good, maybe they'll stay away, as playing tourist during covid was great ???? -

KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm guessing most people, including Thais, couldn't find UA on a map, let alone care about what is going on over there. I certainly don't. With that, most probably couldn't even find TH on a map, do you think anyone cares or even knows they abstained. -

That's 1 opinion ... You may want to enlighten yourself: https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/the-free-thai-movement-and-the-soe/ Have a nice day -
Same with idiots paying cash... ... Come to register ... have to search for member card, after in line waiting ... Done ringing everything up, now have to find and take money out of wallet/purse. Oh wait, I have 25 satang in the bottom of my purse somewhere ... hold on I check out of Makro, try to have all price bars facing up, and if in express lane, card out before person in front of me is done, then it's scan scan scan ding ding ding ... cash in hand already and I'm gone. Anything else is simply rude & inconsiderate. People got better thing to do, than wait for me acting like an idiot. Only been there about 1000 times, does it really take longer to figure out the process.

They had little choice, join or die. Along with their, TH's resistance that fought them, and gave great intel to the Allied force to help end the war. Don't judge another, till you walked in their shoes ???? Ignorance is Bliss ... for some -

KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's a USA-UK-NATO-EU vs RU conflict and been going on since end of WW2. Nothing has changed, and nothing will. -
Being stuck behind people using plastic for simple, inexpensive shopping takes the convenience out of 7-11 / convenient stores & fast food vendors. Use a phone app if you must. Annoying & inconsiderate

KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not puzzling at all, as TH, like myself, probably doesn't know who to believe, or even care. So instead of ignorantly voting without knowing the facts, simply gave it a pass. -
I like doing the same things everyday, and as long as the wife is 'receptive', then I won't need to do a divorce over again ????

Better research = Better life experiences No plan = Plan to fail ... your choice If you drive around with a can to put petrol in you ICE, then you may want to invest in a solar power station, then again, why bother, as you'd probably forget to charge it up before leaving anyway Just can't fix stupid ... ????
