And if that fails to give you the results you want, maybe will do best out of 5 .... and so forth.

For a mere 20 (?) baht, beats walking in the pollution, heat & humidity, if that's your only convenant transport.

If not mistaken, black smoke should never come out or any vehicle, if properly maintained. Old or misadjusted injectors. Some just need cleaning and have an easy fix, with an additive to prevent, but, that would cut into profits. What does the driver care for, the smoke is behind him. Diesel should have been banned decades ago, as a direct link to negative health issues.

They're usually the ones spewing the black smoke, diesel fueled ICEs.

And yet, most in Crimea happily left the UA behind and have no desire to return ... IMHO ... from what I've read. Crimea

Unless diesel, which many pickups are. I Patts was forward thinking, they'd simply set up a revolving looping monorail/tram route along beach road (all of) and half of 2nd Road, and limit those sections to the tram, bicycle, ebikes/scooter & walking. NO ICE vehicles. Couple large parking garages outside the main, w/ shuttle service to the tram. Obviously city planning is not their forte'.

Hat Yai World Tour seems to simply be the name of a transport company, (van & buses), with many routes, local & interprovince, and name may have no reference to the 'destination' or route of Hat Yai to/from Phuket. Van & driver could easily be base in and never leave Phuket. Funny when someone with local knowledge comments on and possibly gets it wrong.

That's a fine line. Good investigating reporter usually don't get it wrong. Don't think they exist any more, just a good headline brings in the money.

Was thinking bulbul, but not with the ring around the eye. You are correct though, probably an insect eater and not exactly young and may recover quickly. Any obvious injury ? A snap of its underside may help. The insect eater is all one needs to know. Water would be the priority for it, and maybe get some mealy worms and crush 'em up for it. May want to put some small stones/gravel down for it also, as some birds use to help with digestion. Maybe a juvenile Taiga Flycatcher.

Removing 'quotas' will be rights regained, not stripped. "All men & women are created equal" And please, name a MSM news outlet that hasn't spread false info. You might want to google, before naming. Try '(outlet name) + controversy'

Moved on long time ago. Too experienced at divorce. That was #3 or 4 marriages ???????? 4th is a charm, as they say, been living together 17+yrs, married 9 of those, I think. Obviously, I don't give out marital advice.

Thankfully the younger generation is moving away from that silliness. I only know 2 that ended in divorce, mine and a bud of mine. All the rest still going strong. Some have their problems (worldwide) but still together. Considering the divorce rate in USA is something like 50% for first timers, things are good here.

Take care of your cast iron, and they'll last forever

Well now, I feel better about my lack of proofreading. Learn something new everyday ... "wog1 noun OFFENSIVE BRITISH a person who is not white." What did he say ... "2 great nations separated by a common language"

I would have never guessed that, and still haven't a clue ????

Yes, use of A$$ will get you cancelled by your pot & kettles. It's a PC world out there and in the kitchen.

Actually cast iron (surprisingly) is not the best, as it was explained to me by a techie knowing such things. Sounded right to me, his explanation. Aside from scratching the hell out of the glass top surface. @jil Any pan with iron, which you can test w/magnet should work, and most will have a designation when buying if able to use with induction. And NO, those temps, are low, and shouldn't damage the pan or coating. Throw that thing out, as you don't want to ingest teflon coating. Which is actually supposed to be hard to do, from any half decent pan, unless coating is compromised. We have heavy bottom iron/SS pans for the induction cooker. Nice collection of cast irons, but we don't use on the induction cooker. More as they would scratch the hell out of it, but I'll take my buddy's advice about them messing with the mechanics of the cooker, also. Only have the 1 teflon pan, and only use on gas burner at low temps. Not really a fan of teflon as most are krap, unless expensive, and don't last long. Thrown too many away, unlike cast or SS, and have never needed to discard them. This does not address the issue I was told about, but if going to use cast iron, then read this: https://cookeryspace.com/does-cast-iron-work-on-induction-cooktops/ One plus about induction, you can easily control the temp, though not so easy if using cast iron.

Maybe he got a good price on a van, from company that went belly up and didn't repaint before selling. Can't imagine anyone going to/from Phuket for a Hat Yai River tour. Van, taxi drivers on Phuket, definitely rank up there as the worst. It's been out of control for so long. Their violence against any competition is well known, and 1000 baht fines aren't working. Sadly so many of these drivers tarnish the good ones. My issue with all the transport drivers, besides they reckless driving, they take up all the minimal parking that is available. Lines of taxis taking up all the parking. Because of that, we rarely left the resort last month to go along the beaches. Which was fine, though did miss visiting a couple ol' favorite restaurants. But found a couple new. Kind of kills the self drive domestic tourist market, not that they care, as stated, it does seem they want the ignorant novice tourist and no interest in repeat customers.

"The menu was put together by executive chef Francisco “Paco” Ruano, a renowned culinary figure whose own establishment, Restaurante Alcalde in Guadalajara, was named one of the 50 best restaurants in Latin America." Ojo Tacos 3 week old review: "We got the Taco Tuesday offer ( 3 tacos of your choice + 1 drink) for 690 THB. They also gave us this complimentary baby corn with cheese app which hit the spot too." Taco Tuesday

Actually I think that would make a small impact on the mass shootings....IMHO The gang bangers will still be shooting indiscriminately into crowds. Drug turf wars will persist, and they aren't buying the firearms from FFL dealers.

Nothing wrong with govt cheese, we ate quite a bit in the 60s & 70s. Lots of grilled cheese sandwiches ????

Some great roads to cycle on. I'm a firm believer of riding against traffic, with added caution, some don't expect it, so care needed at any cross traffic/driveways.. Much safer than riding with traffic, as I think, most get run down from behind. At least my way, you may see it coming and avoid.

Don't know about all that, but the simplistic reason, same sex couple simply have more disposable cash. Usual 2 incomes, and NO kids. Not having kids myself, till retired, I can relate to the extra pocket money, and how I holiday'd much more than my married co-workers, and considering we worked for an airlines, that' a bit telling. Don't know what the hell this means, and a bit irrelevant: "Most critically, LGBTQ travel spend goes to suppliers and destinations that recognize their unique buying preferences, and offer them differentiated value." What is unique about spending money ?

Crossing yes, but you can't avoid using hwy 4, and looked at their map, and definitely minimal use of. For me, it's the wrong time (smog) of year to be exercising in it. Even a slow paced ride, your suckin' to much unhealthy air. AQIs that time of year, 75-150, along with PM2.5 being 5-10X of healthy levels. Nothing major for a week+ of out and about, but also easily avoided.
