I don't deal in silly 'what if s' ... especially when they've never happened in 67 yrs of me living. Exercising the slightest bit of uncommon common sense has kept me accident free. I look before I cross the street, and I think the car has 6 airbags & I drive the speed limit, and yet to have someone hit my vehicles while driving, and that's 22 ish yrs here. If I'm unconscious, due to any reason, losing my bag would be the least of me concerns, as nothing in there that can't almost easily be replaced. Having an accident, is 1 step below, being asked for my PP, since I don't frequent the 'tourist' ghettos, that a corrupt person would ask for it. If I show my DL & ID (pink) and they still want to see my PP ... well, nuff said. Still, my PP is safest with me, on me, or in the car, than at unoccupied house, or hotel room/safe that too many people have access to. After carrying for 10 yrs, still looks brand new.

POCCO & Wuling, but don't think they are the ones you're thinking about. And they aren't inexpensive. DECO's family line / 3 wheelers might be, as their motorcycles / scooters are.

Yep ... another empty krap 'alcohol zone' with a few more drunks on the road. Don't know why the locals tolerate some foreigners. Another reason to stay away from HH.

2019 before 2 yrs of a bad 'situation' ... ... I remember a lot, but I live in the present. It will be years before, if ever, things return to high season 2019, and shy of 40 (?) million tourist are about. Bars could justify the cost of 'extra' channels. Frankly, I like it just the way it is ... a few million a year, and double digits where I am ????

That's surprising, since footie isn't exactly a Yank thing. Actually thought they'd get spanked pretty bad.

Following thoughts are simply my opinion: So the USA regime change at UA may be paying big dividends to the USA. Add all those suggested/forced RU sanction all you NATO/UK/EU lapdogs agreed to, and the profits to USA should be rolling in for decades. Y'all didn't see that coming ... OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE Ignorance is Bliss ... for some. I think a Win Win all around for USA. Take out UA as a world arms supplier & force RU to become the boogie man ... once again ... ????

You may want to lead with that next time.

... why ?

No more plans needed, now simply enjoying ... ????

The safe that is anything but ...????

Maybe not showing ... lack of interest, as probably a fairly boring game. Eng vs USA ... a bit of an uneven match.

Why not put an endoscopy on your 'to do' list, as that will tell you or eliminate any scary things. Easy to get in Udon Thani or Khon Kaen, a lot faster, easier and cheaper than going to Krung Thep for a simple exam / procedure. Definitely should have gotten 2nd opinion, and seems easily diagnosed & possibly treated. Some of the things you tried may have disrupted her normal stomach activity, possibly prolonging symptoms. Take a peek at this, if not already researched it: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/h-pylori/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20356177 This post from a local forum may interest you, especially 'drunk monkey''s suggestion of Tabo, Nong Khai hospital & doc. Get good reviews. https://www.udonmap.com/udonthaniforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=52602&p=605250&hilit=Nong+Khai+Dr+Wattana&sid=8a5e6c769d8a534f6cff34437c4df4a2#p605250 That whole thread may interest, as Army Hosp. mention, and I've used them before. Abet waiting list. BkkHosp Udon is silly priced, but will negotiate, even match other prices, as I've done that with them. I've also used BkkHosp, and doc who performed the surgery suggested next time to contact him directly, as he does the same at Gov't Hosp/Udon for much less. I simply wanted it done right away, and a private AC'd room. Cost 10X the gov't hosp price, but they didn't have a private room available.

Headliner to stir the pot. USA a few CSGs (Carrier Strike Group) in the area already, I think. A base would simply be convenient, and prop up PI's economy, till it hits the fan again, and they are told to leave .... AGAIN.

I carry mine, almost always, except locally on my scooter, AND, if wife is in the house. If she's out, then 'bag' goes with me, or just small wallet on the scooter. Since my most important document, it's in my cross body bag, with; phone, DL, bank book, yellow book, billfold w/plastic, specs, blade. All neat & tidy, with pocket for my 'wallet', which actually holds; DL, cash, important plastic. Wallet goes with me on scooter. And no, rarely, if ever asked for PP the past 20ish years. It is the law though.

I also had a 1980 Coup DeVille ... roomy ???? Now, everything is 'cookie cutters', no styling at all. Take the badges off, and you wouldn't be able to tell the make & model of most cars now, if lined up together.

'witness saw her driving in the rain' Was it an EV, did the battery get wet ... ???? Maybe she went over a speed bump. We all know EVs can't handle speed bumps.

Wow ... a whole 2.9% change. If people can't adjust to minor fluctuations, then need to worry about more than a cup of tea. The exchange rate here alone has gone down 25+% at times, after I arrived. From ฿45 down to ฿29 against $1 USD. Not even mention the inflation. Maybe the fatties could cut 25% of their food intake down, so they could afford a proper cup of tea.

Since OP can't be place on Ignore List, then obviously part of the money making machine. Prime 'price' ... not sure about 'prime' burger. 'ground Aussie beef' Burger King's claim also, for half the price ????

Far from space age, but my 1950 Buick Special was like sitting on the living room sofa while driving ... along with other activities. Those cars where made for teens losing their virginity.

Cool plane, and I've photographed my share of them, since seeing almost on a daily basis.

Hope poster doesn't mean 'Natura Cafe' on the other side of the river. Not exactly near S/A intersection area. Lovely place though if out & about exploring: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Natura+Cafe/@13.6913836,100.4667066,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipMv0eTKCmso5kdrCYgVZJ_FFbp51owArVGOm_if!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMv0eTKCmso5kdrCYgVZJ_FFbp51owArVGOm_if%3Dw114-h86-k-no!7i4080!8i3060!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0xe71a36dc6dbb47f6!2sNatura+Cafe!8m2!3d13.6913836!4d100.4667066!3m4!1s0x0:0xe71a36dc6dbb47f6!8m2!3d13.6913836!4d100.4667066

You can add the Anti Gun folks, (Dems) to that also. Immediately using and pushing more gun control. As if there aren't enough already. If they'd simply enforce the laws on the books, they wouldn't need new ones that keep guns from legal folks. The Dem run city / prosecutor decided not to charge the shooter in an earlier incident, where it's on record, that he threatened his family with a 'bomb'...yea, a bomb. That force his neighbors to evacuate and police intervention to talk him into surrendering. Not only did they not charge him, they failed to impose Colorado’s red-flag laws, which would have banned him from purchasing a firearm. Failed system once again. I guess charging a non binary black man would have appeared too oppressive to the 'special interests' folks. So not a right wing motivated hate crime, or lax gun law shooting.

"At least 262,908,216 people or 79% of the population have received at least one dose. Overall, 224,113,439 people or 68% of the population are considered fully vaccinated. Additionally, 108,806,974 people or 33% of the population have received a booster dose." https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states IMHO, wouldn't exactly call that effective. 2/3 fully vax'd but vax'd still account for more than 1/2 the deaths
