Welcome to SE Asia. Bear in mind these figures from the WHO are from 2011. So presumably, more than 10 years later, things are much worse now.

GG, you can get cancer shopping at Big-C? Prove it! -
Wow, the colors and the formation of that fuzzy flower are very beautiful. Congratulations. For those of us who don’t grow our own it would also be interesting to see how the plant looks after it’s been dried and then maybe to see it again after all the buds have been snipped off and are ready to be consumed. Normally I only ever see a large quantity of buds in bags and jars from a supplier. But I never see the stages of how it gets from point A to point B. Seeing that flower dried and then separated into buds would be good fun. 👍🏼

High-Protein Meal Delivery Services In Bangkok
Hokeus replied to Hokeus's topic in Western Food in Thailand
I've compiled a list below (together with their Instagram links) of 26 other meal delivery services in Bangkok. So there are quite a few options for people who want to have fresh meals delivered for multiple days in advance and don't want to cook or go to restaurants. Many of them are offering mostly Asian and Thai food and some have a mix of Asian and Western. You can look through them to see what they offer. 1. @getfreshth - [instagram.com/getfreshth](https://www.instagram.com/getfreshth) 2. @eatcleananddiet - [instagram.com/eatcleananddiet](https://www.instagram.com/eatcleananddiet) 3. @lemon8_thailand - [instagram.com/lemon8_thailand](https://www.instagram.com/lemon8_thailand) 4. @goat.bangkok - [instagram.com/goat.bangkok](https://www.instagram.com/goat.bangkok) 5. @saladstop.th - [instagram.com/saladstop.th](https://www.instagram.com/saladstop.th) 6. @orgboxthailand - [instagram.com/orgboxthailand](https://www.instagram.com/orgboxthailand) 7. @paleorobbie - [instagram.com/paleorobbie](https://www.instagram.com/paleorobbie) 8. @homiecleanfood - [instagram.com/homiecleanfood](https://www.instagram.com/homiecleanfood) 9. @amhealthyfood - [instagram.com/amhealthyfood](https://www.instagram.com/amhealthyfood) 10. @healthy_deliciousss - [instagram.com/healthy_deliciousss](https://www.instagram.com/healthy_deliciousss) 11. @cleanfood_by_ps - [instagram.com/cleanfood_by_ps](https://www.instagram.com/cleanfood_by_ps) 12. @habitfoodsco - [instagram.com/habitfoodsco](https://www.instagram.com/habitfoodsco) 13. @brunchbowl - [instagram.com/brunchbowl](https://www.instagram.com/brunchbowl) 14. @goodrootsbkk - [instagram.com/goodrootsbkk](https://www.instagram.com/goodrootsbkk) 15. @cleanfitdelivery - [instagram.com/cleanfitdelivery](https://www.instagram.com/cleanfitdelivery) 16. @dailyset_cleanfood - [instagram.com/dailyset_cleanfood](https://www.instagram.com/dailyset_cleanfood) 17. @fit2go_th - [instagram.com/fit2go_th](https://www.instagram.com/fit2go_th) 18. @leanlicious.official - [instagram.com/leanlicious.official](https://www.instagram.com/leanlicious.official) 19. @absolutefitfood - [instagram.com/absolutefitfood](https://www.instagram.com/absolutefitfood) 20. @purelite_by_pureorganicfarm - [instagram.com/purelite_by_pureorganicfarm](https://www.instagram.com/purelite_by_pureorganicfarm) 21. @dailycleanfoodbkk - [instagram.com/dailycleanfoodbkk](https://www.instagram.com/dailycleanfoodbkk) 22. @mommy_clean_food - [instagram.com/mommy_clean_food](https://www.instagram.com/mommy_clean_food) 23. @calories_killer - [instagram.com/calories_killer](https://www.instagram.com/calories_killer) 24. @fitmealfoods - [instagram.com/fitmealfoods](https://www.instagram.com/fitmealfoods) 25. @salad.smith.th - [instagram.com/salad.smith.th](https://www.instagram.com/salad.smith.th) 26. @dmindcleanclean - [instagram.com/dmindcleanclean](https://www.instagram.com/dmindcleanclean) -
Since you mentioned that you are a giraffe, a donkey and an elephant, you should be perfectly fine in the heat without air-conditioning. By the way, have you met my friend GG?

High-Protein Meal Delivery Services In Bangkok
Hokeus replied to Hokeus's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Forgot to mention, on the above Canva link I provided there are 6 different photos showing their full weekly menu. Just click to the right side on each photo (or swipe left on your phone) to advance to the next menu page. Also, meals average between 100-130 Baht per chicken meal and more for the fish. I only order the chicken meals and the price is quite fair I think for what you get. The meals arrive chilled and can be kept fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days and then just reheat in the microwave in 2 minutes when you want to eat them. -
Bank printout must show every transaction?
Hokeus replied to chrischronic's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, most Thai banks won't stamp, sign, or certify and document that was not printed by their own systems. I don't blame them in a way. Extra liability they don't need. -

Hokeus replied to chrischronic's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I do the same at present, but with a passbook savings account. The account has no ATM card. Occasionally I login and check the balance using the mobile banking app to make sure the money is still there and in the app I have also disabled all withdrawals on the account. So no money can actually be withdrawn intentionally or accidentally and there is no ATM card which would render any charges to the account. So it's fine. I also keep 815K in the account just to be sure there are no accidents on the balance amount. It's probably a bit more than I need, but it's OK. -
Another good option and half the price of the same one I suggested on Shopee. The only difference is that one is from overseas, which means it could take 10 days or so to get it. I tend to buy from local suppliers on Shopee and Lazada and pay a bit more if I want to get it quickly.

Though ask and though shall receive: https://shp.ee/vrf1ahs Just go on Shoppe though and do a search for ashtray. Lots of other options with lids, water chambers, etc. This one looks good too: https://shp.ee/yph8qss

That is good information. I always wondered how you would be able to switch bank accounts if you ever wanted to and without falling below the threshold in the process. I guess the easiest thing to do, assuming you have all your money in one account at the moment, would be to withdraw everything except 805,000 Baht from the account and then start a second account to use for your daily purchases. This way the balance in the original account never falls below the 800K and you don't have to do any fancy financial moves to maintain the threshold. TBH, I never saw much value though in tying up the money in a FD account for the 800K Baht. I guess for some people who really want the interest it is OK, but it only pays around 2.25% interest and then minus the 15% withholding tax for foreigners and it doesn't leave you with that much, maybe around 15,000 Baht per year in interest after taxes. Meanwhile, a regular savings account will give you 1.5% interest, minus the 15% withholding tax which is a net of about 10,000 Baht after tax. So it is a difference of only around 5,000 Baht a year between a savings and a FD account. Maybe enough of a difference for some, but I rather not have it tied up in an FD for a difference of only 5,000 Baht. -

I think I have a marijuana plant growing in my garden?
Hokeus replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Why anyone is wasting their time getting into a pis*ing contest with this troll is beyond me. From his original post he claims to only have seen cannabis in magazines and then he asks if he should dry it and smoke it. That tells you he doesn't smoke to begin with so why would he suddenly be willing to smoke some unknown plant growing in his backyard? Certainly nobody with any common sense would do that. I feel like a fool even explaining any of this because this is exactly the type of wasted energy he wants from people. It is what he lives for; A long confusing whirlwind diatribe of meaningless posts going down roads that lead to nowhere and eventually fall of a cliff. Hopefully everyone here will start ignoring this troll sooner than later since the admins on this site seem reluctant to shut him down. It appears that as long as you don't insult anyone here on AN you can waylay people as much as you like without any consequence. -

Just to reiterate, if you don't even want the website you are uploading your photo to have the metadata then just take a screenshot of the photo on your phone first and upload the screen shot. It will contain zero metadata after that. Not even the make and model of your phone. -
I was wondering if many people here use a meal delivery service? I recently started using one called Power Daily and I am very pleased with it. The food is excellent quality, beautifully prepared, nicely seasoned recipes, and very hygenic. Most recipes are Western food, but they do have a few Thai meals too. All meals are made with either Chicken or Fish. Their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/powerdaily.bkk/ I actually had many of these types of meal delivery service offers come up in my Instagram feed, but I chose this one because they offer some high-protein low-carb meals, which is what I was looking for. They change their menu every Friday so the meal selection changes once a week. If you order 600 Baht worth of food then there is no delivery fee and you can schedule a delivery for morning or afternoon on any day of the week except Sunday. Meals are delivered by LaLaMove and they provide a real time tracking link once the delivery is sent out to you so that you know when to expect the delivery. Orders are placed with them via a message on the LINE app and payment is made in advance by bank transfer. If you are interested you can see their this week's menu selection here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAF9hJUUw2k/Npc7KRPDwYLzFcR3ezxwhw/view I also saw another one that looks good called Homie Clean Food, but I haven't tried it yet: https://www.instagram.com/homiecleanfood/ Has anyone found any other good meal delivery services like this offering high-protein meals delivered in Bangkok?

I think I have a marijuana plant growing in my garden?
Hokeus replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I just did a test on metadata using some photos stored on my phone and I emailed 3 images to myself from my phone. One was a screenshot, another was an image I saved from a website, and the third one was a photo actually taken with my phone's own camera. I studied the metadata and both the screen shot and the image saved from the web contained zero metadata. The photo taken with my phone contained the model of my phone and the GPS coordinates of where the photo was captured. If you don't have location data enabled in the photos or camera app of your phone then it will only show the model of the phone and no GPS data. I then captured a screenshot on my phone of that same photo that I had originally shot with my phone. I then emailed the screenshot to myself of the photo, checked the metadata, and the screenshot of the photo also contained zero metadata. I also then saved a few photos from AN that people shot and uploaded to AN and all of those photos contained zero metadata as well. This means that AN automatically strips out all metadata from a photo file when someone uploads any photo to this website. So even if you upload a photo to AN containing metadata, the metadata will be removed before it appears on this website. Anyway, GG is just trolling and attempting to lead people down another winding path of confusion and misdirection. Just the usual fanciful antics of an internet trouble maker. But I wanted to clarify the issue about the uploading photos and metadata in case anyone is interested in the facts. Thus, if you want to upload a photo taken with your phone to a website, and you want to be sure to hide your metadata, then all you need to do is screenshot the photo on your phone first and then upload the screenshot of the photo and not upload the original photo. In that case the photo will contain zero metadata for your photo and no personal information will be revealed. -
How Safe Are You - Living in Thailand?
Hokeus replied to MangoKorat's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
This is such a pathetic conversation, even just the notion of it and all the fearful, wining reactions of many (but not all) who are worrying only about their own superficial personal interests. Meanwhile, there are so many bigger and more important issues facing the world right now. But this attitude here doesn't surprise me. Most of the foreigners who live in Thailand have run away from the developed world in fear of one thing or another, either something material, spiritual, legal, financial, or otherwise. Thus, they are hiding and hoping that their newfound hangout will keep them safe from having to ever deal with reality again. Many are actually just bottom feeders. So everyone needs to grow a pair and stop only worrying about their own tiny little microcosm of life that they have now, tucked away in a developing country that is facing so many of its own challenges politically, financially and environmentally and doesn't have the luxury to worry about the well being of all the outsiders who now reside here. Thus, stop just worrying about yourselves and what you would do in a doomsday scenario that may never come. Instead, think about how maybe you can do something today to help make the world a better place for the people, animals, and environment around you who are all desperately trying to survive just like you. If you feel insulted by any of this then I am sorry, but if you do then maybe you need to take closer at yourself to see what can be improved. Rant over. -
After posting a long winded rant banging on about how one group of Asians is smarter than the other, it then tells us bashing won't be tolerated. You can't make this sh*t up. The whole post is a bash against different groups of Asians and their lack of intelligence and yet it attempts to act clever by spinning it back on the audience for potentially posting hurtful comments, when in fact nobody has said anything on the topic, nor is anyone even interested for that matter. GG's deluded and shameless posts should not be tolerated anymore.

Should we all be lying flat these days?
Hokeus replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
@GammaGlobulin - Mental illness is a treatable condition in many cases. So my kind advice to you, who has obviously mistaken his own chronic buffoonery for genius, is to wheel yourself down to the nearest sanitarium and beg the good people there for some immediate professional help. And, if by any unforeseeable reason they happen to refuse you as a case study, then I would be delighted to attest to your valid need to be immediately strapped down naked to a gurney and prodded with all sorts of sharp metal objects until they are able to conclude the nature of your disastrous condition. In the interim, for the greater good of humanity, I beg that you immediately pour a healthy dose of 100% hydrogen peroxide on top of all of your electronic device keyboards in order to help prevent your urge to continue to pollute any online communities with your insatiable drivel. Frankly, it surprises even the lowest depths of humanity that you are able to walk around upright, instead using all 4 limbs to move forward, and without plunging your vapid tongue into cow dung 100 times per hour. -

E-Bay and PayPal have gone from Bad to Worse to Horrible....
Hokeus replied to redwood1's topic in General Topics
I've had my eBay account for over 20 years. Get stuff shipped to Thailand all the time. Never a problem. They have changed security measures on my account from time to time over the years, but not by much. Making payments on eBay used to be faster when they owned PayPal, but, after they sold it off, it requires another step to pay with PayPal now because you have to log into your PayPal account separately. My PayPal account has also never had a problem, I'm sure I've had it at least 20 years as well. I've had trouble logging in a couple of times because of an overseas IP address, that's just a security measure and it's always been something that could be easily fixed with a phone call to PayPal. I have an overseas address on the PayPal account too, so no issues using it in Thailand. -
Suvarnabhumi Adds More Staff To Prevent Malfunction
Hokeus replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
What is needed isn't the question. It is how to acquire it and it seems fairly impossible in this case. If you have more intelligence/skills/proficiency you are not going to get a government job stamping dates into passports all day for hours on end. Instead you will get a more fulfilling and higher paying private sector job. Government jobs are best suited for lazy underachievers who aren't very proficient and water seeks its own level in these situations.
