  1. A few problem with your post. Why not try to drink water boiling at 100∘𝐶 or inhaling steam at 180∘𝐶? Did you not read the word "joints"? Were dry herb vaporizers around thirty years ago? Teenagers.
  2. Though in all seriousness, don't do it. What is the temperature of the burning material? Shall I tell you? The temperature of a burning joint can range from around 600∘𝐶 to 900∘𝐶 Why would you choose to suck meltingly hot tar into your mouth, throat and lungs? If you eat food that is too hot, a mere 90∘𝐶 you can lose layers of cells until your mouth feels raw inside. So what do you think burning hot tars are doing? Very occasionally and your body may repair itself. But if regularly, you can imagine what is happening. For friends who insisted on smoking, I devised a cooling and filtration system. Not really rocket science. A cool, relatively clean smoke is going to be a lot less harmful. That means, no joints. As the distance from the tip to your mouth is not much. Christmas is coming up, so I need to show goodwill to you raggedy bunch. Sort yourselves out. Find a better way.

    I guess I should include something from Big C(Marina). So we have Carrefour Sensation Stylesse Natural Cereal 500 gr for 25 baht. https://www.carrefour.be/fr/sensation-stylesse-nature-500-g/06831339.html FOX'S Chocolately Milk Chocolate Rounds 130 g Half priced at 65 baht. FOX'S Half Coated Milk Chocolate Cookies 175 g 65 baht CADBURY Chocolate Fudge 110 g. 45 baht For those of you with young ones or who are still big babies themselves there are Shokuhako Kurata Shokuhin Baby Noodles 2 cm. https://www.bigc.co.th/en/product/kurata-shokuhako-muen-nyumen-somen-noodles-120-g.4984951 21 baht https://www.bigc.co.th/en/product/kurata-shokuhako-muen-san-shoku-yasai-somen-noodles-mixed-vegetable-flavor-120-g.4984952 27 baht Soumen, or somen, is a very thin Japanese wheat flour noodle, typically served cold during the summer, often with a dipping sauce and various toppings like cucumber, egg, or scallions. They are made by stretching oil-coated dough into thin strands and are known for their light, refreshing taste, making them a popular way to cool down in hot weather.

    I sent a scout out this morning to gather up bargain prices for your Christmas treats. Don't say I don't look after you. Friendship Supermarket today. They still have Westgold Butter, Salted and Unsalted at 80 baht for 250 grams. Heinz's new (Made In Italy) pasta sauce range with all natural ingredients. No artificial additives and no sugar added: Sun Ripened Cherry Tomato 350 gr, Tomato, Mascarpone & Grana Padano Pasta Sauce 350g, Bolognese Pasta Sauce 350g. Half priced at 69 baht. Some decent quality pasta Armando brand, purportedly from Italy, to go with that. All types for 49 baht. The pièce de résistance today is Mainland Cheese. Buy One Get One Free. Mild and Creamy Edam 2 x 500gr for 259 baht. Sharper Than Most Tasty 2 x 500gr 279 baht. A relatively good brand of cheese for 259 to 279 baht per kg. Stock up for Christmas. Have a good one!
  5. Nice attitude. You need a side of luck to go with that. As an aside, I am writing from experience and had to go through the same treatment. But you do you.
  6. We, implies that you have a partner. Get her to do it. You just need iodine/povidine mixed with a saline solution and a new dressing. There is no special skill needed. Go for a check up at the end of the week. How did you manage to get bitten?
  7. There are also various 'lock up and leave' options that mostly you would only find by word of mouth or per chance. 5k for a partly furnished apartment, of say 40 sq.m/430 sq.ft in a good location. At 60k per annum, you just keep it. Always there waiting for you. But for those options, you need friends who could open it up every now and again for fresh air when you aren't there and to freshen it up prior to your arrival. Of course you can get the staff to do it for a small stipend. I guess when the OP makes friends he may find those options.
  8. Someone needs to remind that guy that he doesn't need to reply at all. No one is forcing his hand. He's doing it to himself.
  9. Just so you know; Dairy Home does sell 'Jersey Milk' with the cream on the top. Their version of the Gold Top milk mentioned earlier by @connda Not cheap mind you. 47 baht for 300ml. https://www.dairyhome.co.th/product-page/jersey-milk-cream-top
  10. The name of a central character in Star Trek.
  11. What's with the Troll? What has the bickering above to do with the girls at the market? I thought we were here for the girls.
  12. Wasn't it America who put the restrictions on them in the first place?
  13. I beg to differ: https://www.bigc.co.th/en/product/carnation-plus-sweetened-condensed-milk-380-g.34446 They call it Sweetened Condensed Milk, but it contains Palm Oil, amongst other things. You cannot find the real thing here, unless specially imported.
  14. It seems you are confirming what I alluded to earlier. Any condo that goes for 12-15k in the high season, I would consider a second tier property at best. I have friends in exactly that business and can ask if they have anything in that price range currently for short term rent. But since this person is a complete stranger, I have little incentive to put myself nor anyone else out. I'm sure many of the people you state that are struggling to rent their places out, can make offers to the OP for a three month stay. Alternatively, Diamond City Place has been mentioned by @mordothailand. I think they have a goldfish bowl on the roof as a pool(humour). It's a lot better than not having access to one at all. Personally I think I would like to look at more than just traffic when I wake up in the morning, but perhaps that is just me. https://www.diamondcitypattaya.com/
  15. Not quite 70 baht. From 78 baht. 700x23/28 FV48/60/80mm are the options to choose. The mm figure is the length of the valve. Measure the one you have now. https://shopee.co.th/product/222574838/5181659049 https://shopee.co.th/ยางในจักรยาน-CHAOYANG-BICYCLE-INNER-TUBE-ขนาด-20-24-26-700c-29-คุณภาพดี-i.222574838.5181659049 Name brands: https://shopee.co.th/product/12686044/8355928479 http://www.bangnabicycle.com/product/299/ยางใน-schwalbe-700c-x-18-28-จุ๊บเล็กยาวพิเศษ-60mm https://www.lazada.co.th/products/bontrager-700c-x-28-32-bike-inner-tube-presta-48mm-i4425424579-s17700725094.html

    Deals from memory over the past few days: Carrefour Crunchy Chocolate Caramel Cereal Muesli 500gr 65 baht, down from 219. Hahne Bircher Muesli Traditional 375gr 83 baht CARREFOUR EXTRA Huile D'olive Vierge Extra 500 ml. 249 baht or thereabouts, down from 449. Fiamma Black Beans 400gr 38 baht. Carrefour Classic Cereal bars Cacahuètes - Pindas 125gr 6 bars. 30 baht Carrefour Classic Cereal bars Chocolat Noix de Coco 125gr 6 bars. 38 baht There were others, but were mostly already sold out. The ones listed are likely still available, if you know where to look. Worth noting that, other than the EVOO, all of these prices are cheaper than they are in Europe and beyond. So grab 'em whilst you can.
  17. I think people aren't taking into account the time of year. No one is going to let their condo out cheaply at this time of year and in the most profitable months. So expect second tier properties. Sounds like what people here are describing anyway. Also the idea of losing two month's deposit might be okay for something cheap in the middle of nowhere, but losing up to 40k means that the budget is down to 6k per month. Who was it that came up with that idea? I know places, but I prefer to keep them for personal friends at this time of year.
  18. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
  19. They been building condos for them in London for a while now. High rise blocks not too far from the American Embassy.
  20. Anyone who tries to split us into Left and Right is the enemy. Remember that. Keep an eye on all of them.
  21. Should i stand back and allow Trolls to spread filthy lies about my country? There is good reason why 'drugs' in in apostrophe. Because no one who has even a modicum of intelligence, believes this has anything to do with drugs. It's just a cover. When you follow what Marco Rubio and Mike Pompei were doing in South America, you might get a clue as to what this is all about. Follow the money. They aren't the good guys. They rig elections to get the result that they want.
  22. China needed that year to get their systems in place. I think anyone with at least half a brain realises that Trump doesn't know his arse from his elbow. He is just a 'snake oil' salesman. A successful one as far as the American people go. To anyone outside, he hasn't got any clothes on. But half the American population don't seem to realise that. The guys running the show are people behind the scenes, such as Scott Bessent. Evidence of this is when he runs off the mouth at drug prices being lowered by a 1000%, Who would swallow that? Half the American public by the looks of it. He is paid to lie. Just the front man. A brand.
