  1. And here I thought that the minimum wage was raised to 500 Baht when Mr Thaksin was the PM years ago as part of his election promises. But maybe that was only in Isaan.... Silly me...
  2. Outside humidity does not affect the temperature inside the car. And if you think it's all desert there, try 42 deg C and 90% RH. Quite common in the coastal regions around Aug-Sep. You'll get wet within 2 minutes just walking from your house to the car.
  3. I spent quite a few years in Saudi Arabia. The heat there is much more extreme than here, reaching 45-50 deg C on some days during summer. Same thing, full blast on A/C, open widows for a minute, and good to go. Even on a black car.
  4. To quote from a song: "Black cars look better in shade..." Some years ago, a European car magazine (sorry, don't remember which one) tested white vs black cars for how hot they were staying outside in the sun. They discovered that the difference was negligible, and what made the biggest difference was the color of the upholstery. They also suggested that the insulation in modern cars played a big role in how hot it got inside. And, just like the quarter mile man suggested, the A/C is very good on modern cars. I have a black car, with black interior, and a black cat to go with it. If the car has been standing in the sun the whole day, open the A/C on full blast, open the windows for a minute to flush the hot air out and you're good to go. Applies to any color, so just chose the color you like.
  5. My understanding is that this happened in the occupied West Bank, not Gaza. Where do people move to from a refugee camp. Do pray tell!
  6. So you do live in Thailand Bob! And I thought you were Burmese re you post saying you worked as a hospital cleaner with some other friends of yours... Or was it just general BS? Well, well, wha'do'ya'know. Fiction posts every day.
  7. Well advice Sheryl, but IMO the OP should definitely seek a cardiologist advice on the drug and dosage. Self medicating heart drugs can be dangerous, as you know.
  8. Get off it Bob, it's dinner time now... Mind you, in some places this would be regarded as dinner. Protein overload, yeah bring it on babe!
  9. 55555! Good try Kannika Well, individual tastes do actually vary.....
  10. Actually it's areal dish.... https://www.masterclass.com/articles/amuse-bouche-guide
  11. That meal cost me $50,000, sir... one of the kind and not prepared very often.
  12. It's not very often I go extravagant like that, but what the heck... have to splash out occasionally..
  13. Here's what I've just finished: Starters: Amuse Bouche First course: The Island Second Course: Breadless Bread Plate Third Course: Chicken Tacos With Scissors In It Palate Cleanser: Wild Bergamot and Red Clover Tea Last Course: Dungeness Crab, Umeboshi, Yogurt Whey, Kelp Desert: S'Mores All washed down with finest quality Vodka, whale testicle Beer, and ant Gin. Oh, I feel so full and satisfied now.... yum.....
  14. Every time I hear that the government is gonna develop an APP for anything, I get this icy sensation along my spine.....
  15. Shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops are only for the beach. And even then, I wouldn't be caught dead in that attire after dark. There are loose cotton trousers available, and that's what I wear outside the house, short socks and trainers. Loose t-shirt or cotton shirt. Never owned sandals and never will. There are even jeans ( like Mc brand or Levi's) that are loose fitting and cool in this climate. However, Gen Z think that jeans have to be this stretchy stuff that clings to your legs. Thais don't pay attention to their footgear, thinking that feet are the lowest part of the body (literally), so yes, I have seen men in business attire with lime Crocks
  16. So you must be Burmese, right? Or you just bait posting from somewhere else.... Where do you get this stuff from (I did white <deleted>, but they censored it, this forum is rated PG9)? Perhaps you should stop smoking what you smoke.... not good to you.
  17. Yeah! Another way for Big Uncle China to get more information about their future subjects.
  18. Very comprehensive, and very accurate. I admit that I did compress and simplify the historical events somewhat, just for brevity.
  19. I think you should revisit your history. Israel did not exist before 1948. Biblical and archeological evidence indicate that the Jews conquered and began to settle the land of Canaan (as this area was known then) during the thirteenth century BCE. It took them several decades to establish some degree of dominance over what they then called Eretz Yisrael. The land that was promised to them by their God, they claim. In fact the roots to the current conflict started as recent as the time of WW1. Before then, Arabs and Jews were living together in a relatively peaceful coexistence for several hundreds of years. At the beginning of the WW1 there was even talks between Arabs and Jews to establish a coalition to protect the country (known as Palestine by that time) from the impact of the coming war. And then, after the end of WW2, it was the geopolitical greed of the colonial powers to meddle and create the mess we are in now. It was the Allied powers that just couldn't keep their sticky fingers from telling everyone how the Middle East should be divided to suit their political interests. If someone invades your house, tells you that you can live in the garage and <deleted> in a bucket, you'll eventually get fed up and rise... And here we are...
  20. They made their choice. There are many more safe places. If you chose a well known troubled spot, don't come back and cry to mamma. Expat low educated labor is cheap and expendable. Learned that in Saudi Arabia.
  21. You're underestimating the GenX. They grew up glued to their telephone touch screen. And they will decide what the consumers want now. I suggest you stick to no electronics ICE. Nissan Bluebird from 1970's would fit you nicely.
  22. What I'm trying to convey here, is that some posters call all Palestinians terrorists, but will justify all terrorist actions by IDF.
