I've been prescribed it twice (0.5mg) as a sleeping pill in Thailand, including at a well-known private hospital in Bangkok a few months ago. My doctor in Australia had a similar reaction to yours when I told him.

Malaysia went down this path during Covid. I've walked out of a few restaurants there when ordering by phone was the only option. I will give the Kenny Rogers in KL a good review. I didn't have internet on my phone, so the waitress used her own phone to order for me. I like Nando's too, but in KL they lost me as a customer when phone ordering became the only option. Trying to find your way around some menus and trying to make changes like no ice with your drink is just too hard. While McDonald's has big order screens, they will still let you order at the counter so you can avoid the screen prompts wanting you to upsize or buy extra items.

Will there be anyone left at Fox News once the replacement members are installed?

Compared to Australia, specialist shops seem harder to locate, e.g., A/C, radiator, exhaust, or electrics. Most where I live are either general mechanics or tyre shops, with a battery display outside. All my auto-electrician did was to swap the factory standard bulbs for some better Philips halogen bulbs he knew would improve lighting coverage without blinding oncoming traffic. There must be some Toyota/ Toyota Vios forums on the web where others have upgraded their lights. Years ago I had a Suzuki Baleno rental. As soon as you went outside of town, the high beams were pathetic. Being only a small car, it may have been designed for city use. When you change bulbs, they should check the alignment for you.

🤣

When I needed to upgrade the headlights on a fifteen-year-old car last year, my auto electrician said to avoid any DIY LED kits, as I would blind oncoming motorists because the car was never designed for LED lights. He installed some higher wattage halogen bulbs, which were a great improvement. The downside, he said, was they had a shorter life, but it was an old car that doesn't get driven after dark much, so not an issue.

Totally left field. So unexpected. They seemed so happy together. A "nasty, so nasty" comment from Trump about Musk is due soon.

The fake owls don't work in my experience. The spikes do, but it's not always easy to get good coverage.

I went there with my wife years ago. We're outside when some Thai guy comes up and starts talking to her. My wife then turns to me to say the Palace is closed today, but there is a tour we can go on instead. I laughed, and said follow me. Sure enough, walked another fifty metres and the Palace is open. Wife wanted to go back and slap the guy 🤣

Maybe you should watch the video...

If she hasn't been able to sort it in two hours, then it's unlikely she will no matter how long they give her. Once she touches the cop, it's game over. They gave her enough time. Someone mentioned she would have been shot in the US. Unlikely, with most police there now wearing bodycams. The funny thing is there are many lengthy YouTube videos of police arrests with bodycams showing people being justifiably arrested for unruly behavior despite police initially being polite and cordial. Without video, people would be accusing the police of heavy-handedness, but so many times asking for ID ends up in confrontation and violence, all because someone refuses to identify themselves. What would likely have happened in the US is, the moment she touched the cop, she would have been thrown to the ground and cuffed. In Thailand, police generally give people surprisingly more leeway first.

I'm surprised at the size of the haul. I don't see Thai people buying avocados much in Bangkok. I love them but gave up on them in Thailand, as for every half decent one I'd get, I would throw three away, black inside despite often seeming ok by look and feel. Even the imported ones in big supermarkets that can cost a hundred baht each were often bad.

There seem to be more cars absolutely obliterated daily in crashes in Thailand than in almost any other country. Just how fast must that pickup have been going to cause that amount of damage? One of the few compliments I've ever received from my Thai MIL is that, given the choice, she will choose me driving her somewhere rather than her Thai son or Thai son-in-law, because I don't drive like I'm in the Dakar 5000. If Mat Armstrong ever needs a new challenge, he should come to Thailand and try repairing some written-off cars here for his YouTube channel.

I don't know the current situation, but I used WU for a few years, as their online exchange rate and no fees were the best deal I could find for online transfers from Australia to Thailand. The rates were very close to Wise whenever i checked. When I used SWIFT (CBA) it always worked out to at least one baht per dollar less ending up in a Thai bank account. Before Covid, transfers were almost instantaneous but now take two or three days, the same as WU. To transfer AUD costs $30 and the conversion rate by SCB at the Thai end wasn't great, but still better than transferring Thai baht from the CBA. The reason I stopped using WU was issues with their security. I never knew if my transfers would be rejected. Twice I ended up having to speak to someone in Germany to verify my transfer was legitimate. I'm only talking about a couple of thousand dollars, but it was like a police interrogation, fifteen minutes of intrusive questions. It remains the worst banking experience I have ever had.
