    You are deluding yourself, there are some differences in pm 10 levels but pm 2.5 is little better on higher floors. PM 10 is slightly reduced. There may be some reduction in traffic gasses, but particularly in areas where high rises are dense the street canyons could actually increase upward movement. All things considered, you aren't seeing much benefit unless you are 1000m up

    Where else would you expect to find them?

    I thought you had flounced off to friendlier tax climes

    it literally is just a drop in the ocean. As for thai being offended, I can barely leave the house without spotting some taxi driver pissing in the street. We had to put in a sensor light and a camera to stop them pissing against our front wall on a busy lower Sukhumvit soi

    it doesn't get worse year after year, it just gets more visibility as lurking netizens film ad post every indiscretion. nightlife used to be far more edgy

    Pool tables in bars in Thailand have very specific stringently applied rules. The level of play is also quite high in some venues

    <deleted>, time after time recycling has shown itself unviable except in perfect circumstances. The vast majority of household waste cannot be recycled because it is contaminated. People would need to carefully clean and process plastic paper products. The lions share of "recyclable" waste ends up in landfills.

    common sense -- give all drunks a wide berth

    loose loose indeed. Well said.

    this old bugbear again. Decades of prostitution, but protect the reputation. the headline is also misleading considering the whole article is speculation and the only wrongdoing is a local Thai attacking a tourist over a game of pool.

    arguably expats are higher visibility than regular than folks

    depends on the thai man and who the woman was. in some situations he would be burned at the stake, in others, not so much

    not been a great January for the Irish, i can think of a few that have hit the recent news and a good friend of mine passed unexpectedly while visiting home last week

    he didn't spank her, he slapped her ass. what kind of moron could claim they didn't know it was inappropriate? if you remove the sexual component, its still bad form to strike others of any gender,

    Show me where it says any of that in the news source.

    you sseem proud of that, though I'm not sure why you would be.

    So a ski lift operator owns the mountain, and a wakeboard cable operator owns the cable park. When you pick up the phone and dial ) do you get the owner of the phone company? operator does not mean owner/operator there is a reason folk specify

    certainly not to cocaine

    At current rates of 3.5 to 4k thb per gram (perhaps slightly more in tourist areas) one wonders how many times it can be cut and what the original cost was. I'm guessing over 7k GBP for 200 grams, likely more -- I was told it was around 30-35k pre coivd you have to jump all over it to make sure it was a worthwhile effort

    It is correct, but it is a much milder form of chlorine because it can be administered consistently at lower levels. This means it doesn't cause chlorine spikes caused by intermittently adding larger volumes of chlorine and results in a more pleasant experience for swimmers. It's also a more complex system and therefore more prone to breakdown.

    becaus its a rush and they can, obviously these guys have developed a taste for showing off and thrill-seeking. tourists are strapped and need exert no control over the sail. there is no need for the operator to go up with them.

    otherwise blotting with some toilet paper is the way forward

    I dont doubt it, it was inevitable really, In this instance, however, in this case its irrelevant the guy is clearly holding a disposable vape, not the pods or cartridges you would use for weed or any other drug. anyone claiming that he is vaping anything beyond nicotine is just plain silly and if it were something stronger he would not have been hitting it consistently throughout the flight without some discernable effect.
