Are you crazy? Scooters can drive in any lane as long as they are not impeding traffic. That is, they can drive in the rightmost lane as long as they are traveling faster than the vehicles in the left lane. The car (SUV) was clearly at fault for making the U-turn from the wrong lane.

Your issue is with buying an HP product. I bought an HP laptop. Slow, got hot, and died 2 yrs later. I bought an HP printer while living in China. Couldn't buy ink cartridges in Thailand for it. I bought an HP camera and the power switch failed before a year. Had it repaired and within another year the camera's sensor died leaving it with a blank screen. My lesson learned: Never buy another HP product again.

Sturgis Thai style.....

Kind of like many country's double tax system, tax money you earn and tax the money you spend.

You didn't specify the model you have. Manual.pdf

Just watched the first episode of S.W.A.T season 6........ Thailand!

That has nothing to do with Thailand, it is like that everywhere.

Inside what, IEAT industrial park or some of the high tech companies? Been in both, many times, .and in more than one factory. I never said hundreds of thousands. Matter of fact I didn't imply a number to those employed, only their typical salaries. When Hoya was peaking they employed several thousands alone. I know that as the previous head of HR used to be my neighbor. And one of those factories I was inside employees today over 3k at their Lamphun location. That company also has locations in BKK, China, USA, and Cambodia. You do know that IEAT is located on both sides of the Super Hwy, don't you? And a few years back Lamphun started developing another High Tech Industrial Park. It is located southeast of the main city. Those industrial parks are an attraction for international companies as they offer tax breaks.

CM does include surrounding areas such as Lamphun doesn't it? Ever heard of IEAT, quite a few tech jobs there. Matter of fact I'm friends with several Thais that wok in that industrial park and they have recently been making Facebook posts showing numerous job openings where they work.

There are very good salaries given to all class of workers in the high tech factories. That goes for direct production operators as well as the indirect engineers & managers. Operators - 300 THB and up per day (Typically six 10 hr days). Overtime offered. Housing provided at low cost (or free). Transportation to/from work provided. Subsidized food in the canteen while at work. Many other benefits. Indirect employee - Anywhere from 30k THB to 140k THB a month depending on experience and position. Do note: I personally know quite a few couples where both spouses work at the same company.

Why couldn't he just do himself in and allow the innocent folks continue on with their lives? RIP and prayers to the families of those affected.

Better yet, put it in a large bag of rice.

Why so little? Too cold?

I prepare for the cold by: - Draining the sprinkler system and blowing it out so it doesn't freeze. - Buy salt to use on the sidewalks. - Get out all the wool sweaters and down jackets. - Cut a few cords of firewood for the wood burning stove. - Pack a spare set of clothes along with some bottles of water and energy bars in the car just in case I get stuck in a snowstorm. - Put the snow tires on the car and ensure the chains are available in the trunk ('boot' for some). - Prepare the ice fishing hut and equipment. - Make sure I buy a season pass to the Summit county ski resorts. .......oh wait, that's some of the things I did preparing for the Winter in Colorado. Here in Thailand I just turn the AC off for a month or two..... ????

I have always been successful finding the movie or TV series I want to watch on the Internet for free. Just click and stream. All quite simple if you have reliable internet connection with decent speed and use an ADBlocker.

I watched all of S1 and liked it but got sidetracked and didn't even get started with S2. I did like it and perhaps I'll start it up again but hard to say when as the football season is now upon us. NOTE: I'm talking real football, not that boing soccer <deleted>..... ????

"...........but I believe ppl have become way more stupid." (from OP) I don't think that is true. There has always been stupid people. It's just folks are more informed these days with the use of the Internet.

Many of my current favorite series are starting new seasons: Chicago PD Chicago Fire Law & Order SUV The Goldbergs Big Sky 911

Don't forget the weight gain due to continuously having the 'munchies'. And let's not forget the tired red eye look.

Many folks who haven't been living under a rock. https://www.bu.edu/wheelock/the-use-of-the-r-word-and-why-its-a-problem/ https://www.aruma.com.au/about-us/blog/two-words-you-need-to-remove-from-your-vocabulary/

I thought 'retarded' was a second grade word that was no longer acceptable to be used?

I see that a classic is soon to be shown for the first time on Netflix. I remember seeing this for the first time sneaking into the theater while still underage. I currently keep a copy in my NAS vault. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/one-of-the-most-banned-movies-of-all-time-is-about-to-be-on-netflix/ar-AA118Y1z?cvid=866ce28ba9db482aa4aa99af81b6ba04

My house new in 1990 = $66k My house's market value today $546K

Perhaps they realized they could provide the same service(s) without the need to have personal contact thus lowering operating costs. Makes no difference to me as I was able to obtain a new passport with little of my time/resources needed.

I'm guessing with all the bashing about shrooms that the majority posting has never tried any.
