My new Thai gf (35/f) invited me (42/m) to visit her family in Isaan after < 1 month of dating? I feel uncomfortable but agreed. What do you think?
In farangland, would you be sporting your gf and sons (who didn't need it before you knew her) after 1 month of knowing her ? RUN

Could always play a game of Russian Roulette for excitement.

Do you eat, then you are killing something. You just can't hear it scream in agony. Plants vocalize distress due to lack of water, then don't when watered. You just can't hear it, or the pain and anguish caused while harvested. Humans can't hear the frequencies, but they are there. There are no good Christians ... since born sinners.

Normal Thai woman is looking for a long term relationship with a normal farang. Where should she look for such a guy?
Barring match making, No need to 'look', just go about your everyday life, but as a loner. Situations will present themselves, though you can't be an introvert. Actually have to talk to people. At the night market/food court, see a gent having a meal, hopefully without an alcoholic beverage (though not completely a red flag), pull up the bench, seat across, ask 'If anyone sitting there?' The look & reaction will tell you everything you need to know. The conversation begins ... 'How is it, any good?' Food conversation are great, as everyone is interested. Just don't ask the same silly questions; How old, how long here, how much money you make ? ???? At the market, same opportunities present themselves, or anywhere. If at an event, then you know anyone there is already like minded, and have a topic to start the conversation. Life is easy, no need to complicate by over thinking.

Teenage girl wants motorcycle
If 'hell no' doesn't work, then teach her, and everything legal. If responsible, you may want her driving & in control vs pillion rider of someone you don't know.

buffalo - staring me down and looking aggressive~
They used to hang out next to the house also, never really bother me, even a bit timid, when approached. Another herd while grazing, and they didn't care for noisy drones. Can't blame 'em.

Quick edit; I can't beat them in a race, but evade them long enough, so they know I'm not threat. They were just keeping the calves behind them, and giving me the stare. I've seen them race, kind of fast.

Cooked Food in the Fridge.
We usually get a 30ct tray of eggs. Boil about 10-15, depending how fast we go through them. Older better as you say, for peeling. Problem is, the date on the eggs are added by Makro, a sticker, not a printed producer's label. So that date is really iffy, along with the tray of eggs itself. Some eggs will be fresh, nice stand up yolks, other will flatten out as soon as they hit the pan. So I usually crack eggs separately in a bowl, cooking the perky fresh ones for me, and the dog gets the others. Or I'm having an omelet ???? Knew about, but forgot, thanks for the reminder about floating eggs. Although when making Egg Nog, it's only the freshest from the tray.

British student’s harrowing balcony plunge leaves him fighting for life in a Thailand hospital
It's not well documented, as we only read about the ones, insurance doesn't/won't cover. And there is a standard, 900mm, I already posted. Google is your friend. If sticking to the article, nobody knows, why denied, as wasn't mentioned. But realistically, going over the balcony can only really be denied for, substances in system, which they would have access to info for, or risky behavior; sitting edge for selfie, would be anyone's best guess. What else could they possibly deny it for ? But blaming the balcony, is as unlikely a reason anyone can think of. Have a nice day

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
7 hrs is impressive, as I just put in Gmap, and came up with 686 kms, 9hr 27mins, leaving now. So if same trip kms wise, you were averaging 100kph almost. Best time leaving @ 1000 hr tomorrow, Saturday, 7hr 40mins without stops, even for petrol. (T21 Asok - CM walking street) map On a weekday, Tuesday, about the same time, 7hr 30min. So really too many variables for any real comparison. Yours vs my style of driving. I would not average 100kph, an any vehicle. I drive the speed limit, so 90kph, and on long drives, if lucky, when having ICE, I'd average 80kph, using time & distance, with stops With the EV, I'd stop to charge twice, 30mins each, and arrive with nice reserve, so add 1 hr to any actually driving time, minimum. 686kms ÷ 80kph = 8.6hr + 1 = 9.6 hours Though I'd probably stop more than 2X if saw something of interest. Reality, I'd probably overnight along the way. Somewhere after 5-6hrs on the road, depending on a few factors. For me, that wouldn't be much difference if in ICE or EV. I'm stepping 2 or 3 times on the way in the ICE, so that hour would stand anyway.

Mexico v Thailand
Living almost half my adult life here, I'd say I'm just as familiar here, as I was in USA. Maybe more so here/TH. Now, I probably wouldn't recognize the place, as I look on streetview now & then, at old haunts & neighborhoods I lived, and whoa ... what a change.

Cooked Food in the Fridge.
They way I do eggs would freak a few on here out. I like my scrambled, very loose. Sunny side up, not over easy, though I do use a fork to make sure most of the whites, is heated. Egg Nog, made with raw eggs, not cooked, not tempered in ... RAW. As fresh as possible, and may take crackin' a few to get ones I'll use. Don't know anyone, died or sick from salmonella. If remember, it's usually from outer egg shell itself, not being clean.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Transport, I wish ... mine sits on my lap, requiring constant massage while there. No wonder she loves riding in the car. Refused to sit in the back. After an hour or so, she move over to the wife's lap w/bed and take a nap. Until she hears the GPS say turn left into the charging station, then she's wide awake and crying to go out for a P ???? Yes, also love the graphs, as puts things in perspective. Why I like our 'short' SUV (ZS), and after @Yellowtail reply, I peeked, and the 'tuna' is only <5cm wider than our ZS, though almost a 1/2 meter longer. Another interesting graph would be prices of 'made in TH' entry level ICE vehicles vs entry level BEVs vs entry level Japanese entry level imports. My comparisons have noticed the NETA V being cheaper than most entry level Japanese badged ICE cars 'made in TH', the MG EP being same price as top end versions of the same. Then the Japanese imports, being almost 2X the price of the MG EP. Quite the contrast, considering operating & maintenance cost of EVs. Aside from performance. When the incentives disappear, only adding 150k baht to most EVs, as only the MG ZS & EP got that 240k ish baht incentive, rest all in the 150k baht range, I really don't think it will affect the sales #s. No need for any performance graphs, as Google and fastest or most powerful cars (for a price) and EVs will top those lists. Only advantage now of ICE cars, is range, and that comes at a price, petrol vs electric.

Cooked Food in the Fridge.
I must be living on the edge. Though most things don't last long in frig before eaten, I have eaten things, mainly meats, up to a week after cooked. Veggies do turn too quick, 2 or 3 days, and they'll start sprouting something. Fruits never last long before eaten, since snacked on while watching movies. Sauces, soups/stews used to be a problem, as wife seems to make enough for 10 people, instead of 2. Though finally got in the habit of freezing excess within a day or so.

You did reply to me ... and yes, been in TH a long time, relative, and yet to see or been on a balcony I'd be able to fall over, unless as Sheryl stated, doing something really stupid. Which ins co. have a escape clause for that also. You can't fix stupid. Millions of tourist every year, don't fall off balconies ... wonder why that is ?
