Since most limit power banks to 10-20k mAh, it's a safe guess you ain't carrying a 36 or 48v 10-30Ah battery on any plane. And my experience working for airlines, that's considered haz mat as checked or freight. But what do I know ???? Unless you got the bargain of the century, that ebike will be a lot cheaper here than USA or EU/UK. This from someone who priced ebikes here and the USA and China and simply decided to build my own.

Not sure if there is still a Power Buy at Hua Hin, as not on any map. Good news, maybe, there is a Fit Bit vendor in the mall somewhere ... supposedly.

That's sad, as shingles should have been there first thought, especially since noticing the rash.

Possible, but rare, unless selling the vaccine, then everyone gets it again. If in TH, no prob finding kids with CP Yes, much more serious as an adult, though I would have thought that was common knowledge. DISCLAIMER: I forgot what forum I was on ????

Yikes ... with those 2 links, I think OP has to specify to us what he/she/it thinks a top end ebike is. Personally I'd just buy one here, as bringing one, with or without the battery would be quite the hassle. And getting a battery (quality) here, possibly even more hassle.

I didn't shake hands with Xi or Prayut ... ????

How much solar does our empty house use ? Not much; 2 frigs & 1 light on, 24 hours. Averages using just shy of 205 watts an hour. The extra 0.3 kWh is for the inverter, so 300 watts over 24 hrs for the inverter

Did our 1st O&A overnighter. 2 nights up at Hua Hin, only 100 kms away. Didn't drive much while there, so didn't need to top up while there. Photo is self explanatory. Stopped at a garden center just S of HH, so a snap of the odometer/info & again at home.

Do you already own it, and do you plan on living here/TH? Forget carry on (battery), not allowed. Just guessing but even as freight/excess baggage, it will probably be considered 'haz mat', and need to be certified to be shipped properly. They sell quality ebikes here, for far less than $4000 USD(?), even $4000 AUD If battery only weighs 10lbs, not very top of the line.

No, chicken pox vaccine isn't forever, and or when you get chicken pox after vaccinated, as I did, and still got a case of shingles. Which can and did last with me for about a decade. First day, if coming around your back to your chest, feels like you are having a heart attack, actually worse, depending on 'your' heart attack????. Afterwards, a week or so, and it's just annoying. Just my opinion, and what my docs told me, when I asked about the vaccine. Don't waste your money, as getting shingles a 2nd time, if very rare. If concerned, whether you had already, or not, just hang out with kids having chicken pox. No better way to boost your immune system. Much better, I was told, than an overprice vaccine, that in my doc's mind hasn't stood the test to time to be advertised as 'safe & effective', but a great money maker. The onset is very easy to spot, 'a rash, much like bad sunburn', bubbled. If have, take the meds immediately, and hopefully, will lessen the severity, and longevity of lasting discomfort. https://www.cdc.gov/shingles/about/treatment.html#:~:text=Several antiviral medicines—acyclovir%2C valacyclovir,possible after the rash appears. Dealing with the postherpetic neuralgia is a different, and good luck with that. I tried some of the stronger drugs, and none really, some lessened the discomfort. Though the experimenting process was interesting. Unless experienced, self medicating isn't for everyone, take extreme care, or go to a professional. Some of the med I took had stern warnings, since psycho drugs, some with high rates of suicide as 'side effect' ????

So she wasn't really found, just happen to find her way back to the highway ... ... begs to ask, 'how drunk was she when she left the highway?" ... ???? microsleep my A$$

Good timing, saw my first active speed trap today in a long time. PoPo sitting on the shoulder with his camera and 3 km down the road huge backup, thank you very much. I was driving with the cruise control on at 90, so all you Aholes behind me, that were cursing me, can thank me later. They only had three victims pulled over as we passed by. People want to save lives, stop complaining about the high death rate, simply drive the speed limit. Don't wait for the police to enforce the law, drive it yourself. How many on here say, "oh I can't own an EV, I need to drive 120-150 kph" Yeah, you are part of the problem.

NO coffee...that would mean I'd have to think of something else to do with that hour routine every morning; heat the water, nuke the cup, add sugar, grind, weigh, stack, pour & stir. Chill on the veranda w/dog for another great sunrise. Sun or not, I'm there, so it's great sunrise. ☕

"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.
