....and just why do you say that?

My good buddy Elon would say Mars... 😃

Had red flags placed along the beach to inform all not to go into the water as the conditions were dangerous. Sounds just like snow skiers going under the ropes, skiing the out-of-bounds areas hoping to get into some deep fresh powder but only triggering avalanches and killing themselves and/or others. ⛷️

.....and obviously crying on a forum about the limitations and asking for an alternative....duhhh

I did. I mentioned going into a True store and topping up. Easy to find a True store, you do have a connection to the Internet, don't you? Besides, I wasn't the one that said ONLY 7-11.

Yes, when there are nice wide sidewalks they are typically cluttered with items the stores drag outside during business hours displaying their goods.

Not so surprised there's some pretty ugly mugs amongst us. Just surprised they would show themselves.

Are you for real or just real high?

I agree, but didn't you say it was the ONLY way? "As a foreigner the only way to top it up is to go to a 7/11 with cash and do it there."

Why not just walk into a True store and top it up there?

...or floods....hurricanes.....tornados....blizzards....arid areas.... LOL, are you for real? Maybe those in Japan should start migrating to the UK soon?

I understand with what you are saying and tend to agree but...... .......the location where this picture was taken is actually a pretty major street and as I said a high tourist area. The street is only one lane in each direction but the lanes are big enough to be two....and each side has large parking areas marked off so there's plenty of space to accommodate a nice fat clear sidewalk. BTW, not only is it a tourist area but that sidewalk pictured is right next to a popular temple. .......if the sidewalk was nice and wide it would probably be cluttered at times with vendors. On a positive note, they are removing many of the overhead lines and putting them underground.

Well the area I posted with all the objects impeding a nice clear sidewalk unfortunately is in a high tourist traffic area and it's difficult to maneuver around with other pedestrians. Plus I really don't like the cobwebs hitting me in the face. And as for the florescent bulb, my camera happened to lighten the area when actually it was nearly 7pm when the pic was taken and the area was darker making it harder to see it, as well as any dog chit.

The point is on the top of your head......(and the look is fitting)

......and another reason is potential hazards such as this florescent glass tube.

Who says that Thailand is pedestrian friendly? One of the reasons scooter drivers don't ride on the sidewalks. One of the reasons I generally walk carefully, with eyes wide open, on the edge of the streets.

I finished my exercise routine and got home about an hour ago. I opened up the first Full Moon IPA. I have to admit it went down rather smoothly and tasted fine. It gave me a nice pleasant buzz. Right now I'm working on number three. I'm sure I'll finish this 4 pack soon with no problems. I have to admit it pairs nicely with some of this gorilla cookie buds that I got. Although I like the Full Moon IPA I think my first choice is still the Snowy IPA with it being slightly cheaper, at least where I'm at, and it has a little bit more fruity taste to my liking. However the Full Moon IPA would definitely be on the list for a second choice. Now on my exercise walk/run tonight I went to a new 7-Eleven looking to see what they had to offer. This 7-Eleven for Full Moon had the wheat, which I've tried before and didn't like. Then it had some strawberry flavored Full Moon of some sort, but it didn't have the IPA I mentioned 7-Eleven because I was waiting to cross the road to enter the 7-Eleven and as doing so a car came down and clipped the mirror of a parked car on the side which I was on. The car that actually hit the mirror didn't even stop. It did hit the brakes and tend to slow down but didn't stop. It just continued on. Let this be a lesson, if you park your car somewhere retract the mirrors if you can, it might save them.

They didn't have cans but I did pick up this 4 pack today at my local Makro....at 258 THB it's slightly more than the Lao Dark. I never had it before and it's chilling in the fridge now. I'll report later tonight after my exercise routine what I think about it. Thanks for the suggestion... tell me, do you know, is the can product any different in taste than the bottled one?

Looked around a couple 7-11s and Makro in my 'neck of the woods' and none of the ones you mention were offered.... I'll keep looking and report if I try any. Really would like to try that Nite Hunter.

Oh, the other thing that annoys me is when I go to a petrol station such as PTT and the first thing they do is put that magnetic placard on my hood.

Do you ask them in Thai or English? Besides, even in English there's multiple words for the same thing. EX: Plasterboard, sheetrock, Gypsum board, drywall..... I find it's easiest to show them a picture on your phone. Before the use of mobile phones I used to ask (in Thai) if they speak English as my Thai is definitely limited when it comes to various items. After they hear my question in Thai they would usually all go scurrying off.

Having tons of staff follow you throughout the store is also a common practice in China. What bugs me is seeing all those standing around playing on phones, or following customers around......but yet when you go to checkout there's only one or two registers of the 10 or 12 that are open.

I only assume you are intelligent enough to know that the OP is about beer...... .....so why is it you do not see the word 'beer' in the list from the link you provided to know what IPA is representing? I'll tell you one thing, it sure in the he77 isn't about any Alphabet..... 😆

Besides Lao, Dark Snowy IPA is one of my favorites that is tasty and not so costly. I just wish my local Makro would stock it. I generally buy it at 7-11 for about 79 THB a can. .....however I will occasionally get a 12-pack of Tapper at Makro. Are you a fan of Snowy IPA? Have you ever tried it?

I think cooking times and temperatures vary too much due to different Air Fryers and personal tastes. You need to experiment around and see what gives you the best results for your liking. Since I got my Air Fryer I have been keeping notes about cooking the things I like and I have to admit the first go around didn't result the best. But after some tweaking I've gotten these things down pretty good: Grilled cheese sandwich Salmon Steak (Aussie tenderloin) Smores French Toast Veggies Banana Bread For my veggies I only put some items like the potatoes and carrots in the AF first and cook some before adding the other veggies. I will cook at a low temp (160C) and then after 10 minutes I will rotate and cook more before adding the other veggies and increasing the temperature. NOTE: I like my broccoli and cauliflower a little crispy so I'll usually crank the temperature to 200C before stopping.
