1 baht street water machines - do they have filters?
black tabby12345 replied to scubascuba3's topic in General Topics
Yes, you are right. I have bought water from such machines for ages. And have never fallen ill, from it. I always boil it(to make my tea). So no hygienical problems. The only issue is, they sometimes eat coins for nothing; not dispensing any water while taking money. And it happened yesterday... -
It simply doesn't function in the first place; it rejects me usage. And when I reported it at CNX immigration office, they said that they couldn't find out why. They told me to go to BKK immigration to know Why. I am reluctant to spend extra time and cost(to travel 800km), so I simply do 90day report in person.

Yes, they do. However, frequency of the filter change is not consistent. In some places, it is replaced once every 3 months though. -

The lack of helmets, and a general dislike of tans
black tabby12345 replied to Krillin's topic in Isaan
a desire for bright, youthful, unblemished faces without wrinkles. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I presume it is pretty much like the western(especially American) influence. They always value youthfulness, and looking young. I have even heard that all of the female federal/state politicians in US over 40, get some form of facelift Regarding their "obsession" with fair skin, it is the reflection of their vague psychological admiration of the west. Also linked to their social class definition(perception). Being whiter, regarded "brain workers" who do their jobs in A/C comfort. Being tanned deemed "manual workers". Inside their mind: Whiter, better educated and better paid(wealthier). Darker, less educated, lowly paid(poorer). A kind of childish silly prejudice though. This world is supported by the people who engage in manual works(food production, and infrastructure building/maintenance). -

City are being swallowed by illegally parked cars and motorbikes. Pretty common phenomenon in this kingdom. Not limited to Pattaya. When police crack down on that, they only target shiny brand new/high brand cars. Highly unlikely to spot any old battered vehicles. I know one such car(the latter) parked on the same spot of the road in my neighborhood for ages.. Have never seen any cops put a parking violation sticker on that...

Speedboat Explosion Near Phuket Leaves Six Injured, Sparks Panic
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Especially in case of the small tour operation firms. Often Safety 2nd, or 3rd. Reminds me of another incident reported in January this year. Sightseeing boat started to sink in the middle of the sea near Phuket. Fortunately, those on board were rescued before the worst though. 33 tourists safely rescued as catamaran sinks off Phuket coast -

This news reminds me of the those 2 Ass*oles who made worldwide headlines weeks ago. Demons in white. Just like the murderer become a cop. Australian nurses fired after allegedly saying in video they'd kill Israelis Health workers condemn video showing NSW Health nurses bragging about killing Israeli patients - ABC News Australian hospital examines patient records after nurse claims to have killed Israelis | AP News Sydney nurse charged over alleged threats to Israeli patients to argue video can’t be used in evidence | New South Wales | The Guardian

Probably knowing better than you, at least. Lists of the phenomenon that can cause sea surge: Eruption of the undersea volcanos. Undersea quake(cause of the Tsunami on Dec.26, 04). Crustal movement on the ocean floor. Very rarely, mass landslide from the mountain can also make it happen(just like the case of Lituya Bay, in Alaska). And the max speed of Tsunami travel is 800km. Deeper the ocean, faster they become. It will travel as fast as 800km max. Often several waves hit the coastal regions, not just once. So stay alerted after the first one, it's not the end.
