  1. I'm not expert on Internet but I noticed one thing; If you use VPN it robs lot of speed! VPN from overseas needs over over 100/100Mbps. In same country only 20/20.
  2. Close but not quite. The answer is Vang Vieng 😉
  3. ..and if everything else fails, or you run out of steam, do as somebody already said; Get HDMI cable (I carry 6m one with me always) and use your TV as monitor. - That way nobody's steeling your IP, signal etc
  4. Do you ever go to DMK? It's pain in the S.....
  5. Soon she has a chain like this;
  6. You must enjoy, Singapore isn't cheap neither 😉 2024 F1 prices; https://f1destinations.com/2024-f1-ticket-prices-ranked-china-cheapest-vegas-most-expensive/
  7. Maybe more fitting nick is; "lonelyanddesperate"
  8. Do you mean these; https://www.meetup.com/find/?location=th--Bangkok&source=GROUPS&distance=twentyFiveMiles https://www.meetup.com/los-angeles-hiking-group/?eventOrigin=find_page&recSource=group_search&recId=f38bc7da-547e-4468-b158-ce2a00000117&searchId=b2e7bf98-c5f1-49c3-ab9d-cef266ef6150 Various hiking clubs were my "second homes" in LA. Wonderful people!
  9. Thank you America! "Currently, it's estimated that Social Security benefits could see a 2.5% so-called COLA hike in 2025" (12 hours ago)
  10. Maybe you can get Thai ritual funeral? They put body on pile of wood logs, burn it and next morning go to pick bones which they "float" in river or lake. My gf went to two of them and showed video to me. It sounded a bit "barbaric" first but it wasn't at all. It was a beautiful old way to say goodbye. Thais believe person comes back in some shape and form so no crying. Lot of food and celebration. I wouldn't mind to go same way.
  11. I also swim on Jomtien beach. From Copacabana on toward South is fine. Around Lumpini better and the beach always empty. No raw sewage smell neither. Manhole covers are sealed. I don't get it why they can't do it on Dongtan beach as well... They call it "Millionaires Row" and smell of shxxt is strongest!
  12. USA; How school shootings so far this year compare to the same point in past years? As of September 4 – the 248th day of the year – there have been 45 school shootings in the United States in 2024. Thailand; Zero World; https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country
  13. How did you know she can drive stick? In the US only 10% can.
  14. I found it! Nuevo California for home sick Gringos.... like me (who some times miss LA / CA of '80s). The location is great, short drive from BKK. Way too expensive for me but seeing is free. I'll go and see since I plan to scout the whole beach area south of Bangkok, in Samut Prakan. Nobody knows anything about that beach, or if there is a beach? https://www.homes-thailand.com/projects/thailand/samut-prakan/bang-phli/bang-kaeo/magnolias-southern-california Looks like copy cat of fake Italian Villages which come-n-go like Sattahip Vine area or Khao Yai's "Palio". When I was there they wanted entry fee! No double pricing here... I though stupid to pay to see houses for sale and asked a local man and he told "Go back side dirt road, no fee". I did and there were nothing to see. Many shops closed and the whole place was semi run down. https://www.tourismthailand.org/Shop/palio-khao-yai
  15. They, Ultra Mobile, know who you are and SSA has access to it. Mine is $ 36/yr and no record who I am. I keep it that way. Zero junk mails or calls.
  16. "Learn to drive!. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235740222672
  17. Donald; "You reap what you sow"
  18. Finally solved; it was/is AdBlocker 🙂
  19. They did same to me..... After contacting after waiting for 60 days they informed "We have no record anything coming back to you!" They are crooks and I told them so. No answer.... They are same company as booking,com. So far no problem with them.
  20. Yes! For that reason I tried to buy 18 or 21car but no go... I also said Thai gold looks "fake", too yellow, in the West. She said; "For Thai anything but yellow looks fake..." So I bought soft 23.
  21. I've been following F1 for 50 yrs.... I went to Montreal F1 once, in '97s. I liked it and Montreal was maybe the easiest and cheapest to see, only $ 140 for 3 days. Plus hotel etc. I found out why so cheap - I sat among Quebec Nationalists waving their blue/white flags... Wasn't a problem for me and they offered excellent chicken and wine and we party together. Last year I wanted to go to Las Vegas but the cheapest package was $ 1500! Crazy... It's big circus with high ticket prices and hard to see anything more than 30 sec per lap. Now I see it on Sky F1 at home, or where ever I am, via VPN. Suits me best and moust relaxed. But be there at least once is great! Better not to plan anything, just go with the flow.
  22. Are using $3/mo plan?
  23. I always be among the first in the morning! It's cooler and no stress. Sometimes they kick me out for some stupid reason but have time to return same day.
