Chiang Mai's Choking Haze: You Won't BELIEVE What's Killing This Paradise
mania replied to george's topic in Chiang Mai News
Sadly I think those that claim "oh its nothing I have a filter & mask" Just have no option so they put a heavy coat of lipstick on this pig. Sadly once lung cancer among other health problems is realized they will truly have no options. The recent death of the young doctor Dr Krittai Tanasombatkul in Chiang Mai of lung cancer although having never smoked is sadly telling. -
Chiang Mai's Choking Haze: You Won't BELIEVE What's Killing This Paradise
mania replied to george's topic in Chiang Mai News
I cycle mainly further north & the burning is always at night. Early mornings we come thru & see the work done yet still smoldering. -

That you were a smoker from the age of 12 may explain your current tolerance for smoke π Trust me your comfort does not bother me at all. I only mentioned your filter picture to point out to those that do value their health that your filter is a good visual of what the inside of lungs likely look like. I need not argue the obvious π I maintain it is totally up 2 you enjoy !

Not sure when the last time was that you tried this but it no longer works (even for services/money to family etc) The reason is Wise now uses yet another service called PLAID Plaid is a financial services company based in San Francisco, California. The company builds a data transfer network that powers fintech and digital finance products. Plaid's product, a technology platform, enables applications to connect with usersβ bank accounts So it depends on if your bank even allows plaid in the first place. If it does you now need to allow yet another app to access your info & make the transfer to Wise. Wise then does there usual thing & yes in seconds can be done If your bank does not allow PLAID or you don't want yet another possible data leak your trans will take 3-5 days

As well it should as those who smoke of course should not complain. But everything else you mentioned makes zero sense & is just justifying some form of ignoring a problem At a restaurant if a cigar smoker sat next to you & started puffing away & blowing it in your face you would say...oh that is nothing I use to live in a snowy climate? Again UP2U it is your life your lungs your health spend it as you wish π

Road accident scenario, what would happen?
mania replied to NorthernRyland's topic in General Topics
Recently read about a long time cyclist...I think he was originally from Austria? Lived in Prachuap Khiri Khan killed recently by a woman who said he swerved...This being a 30+ years road cyclist I doubt very much he randomly swerved or if so surely not into traffic unless she flat out hit him. Sadly his side of the story will not be heard Same in your case I know your worried about the kid but truth is as I'm sure you know getting hit from behind by any kind o vehicle doing any speed over 5mph with weight is going to seriously damage or kill you. I had a friend in the early morning hours in Chiang Mai get hit from behind while stopped by a drunk on a full sized motorcycle. Luckily it was not a center hit but still his injuries took months for him to recover. We also cycle 3 months a year in Thailand but further in the country where it is pretty good on the roads with vehicles often times moving too far over that I sometimes worry for the oncoming ....Take Care -
That is basically what they sent me years ago...a pic of me speeding? in my truck & you could see my face clearly. Fine was not bad 500 baht I thought it would be funny to send them a pic of 500 baht but thought they may not get the joke π So paid up π Comparing to home country fine + rise in insurance premiums 500 baht was a good deal I guess

True that method will also remove what is in the air. It may burn up fan motors sooner but in any case works....... But a bigger concern is just seeing these used filters & imagining what is going in your lungs, because yes your fan sucks but so do you. This is basically a mirror of what your lung is also filtering INSIDE your home no less. Always amazing why folks tolerate such bad air. The world is a big place with clean air readily available. Yes of course not everyone can afford to leave but many can & don't......Famous Thai proverb....Up2U π

Selective minimum wage increases in 10 provinces
mania replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Classic Thailand.....Only Make others pay π That anyone other than a Thai ever invests in Thailand is beyond me π To add insult to injury those 4 Star hotels are employing at least 50 Thai citizens each 555 EDIT: Note I am not saying minimum wages are fair in Thailand I am saying this policy is yet just another racist BS move -
I have enjoyed my time in Thailand, but...

A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss π You just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don't need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free π Kidding aside we did back leave in 2016...It was great in Thailand while we lived there ..... we got tired of the things you mentioned & others we left.....now it is great where we live. Perhaps some day we will tire of this but actually so far so good. No worries....Life is usually more than one place π Good Luck to you in your new spot! -
Actually that bike is quite a porker.... *WEIGHT 10.4 kg in size M, without pedals - 23.4 LB That is going to sting going up Doi Suthep π That aside Van Rysel is making some good but expensive nice bikes now RCR & have sponsored a Pro World Tour Team AG2R OP you should do as another poster suggested & look at used especially in CM there are many Try a aluminum road bike with rim brakes for light weight & a great deal....Like a Trek ALR or even carbon like Giant TCR etc

Unlike Thailand USA sells homes to many countries citizens so the market is not dependent on just them. (then again US allows even folks on a green card to get a SS# & work. Because the US is not stupid enough to ignore the possibility of taxing immigrants & citizens alike π ) As a retired General Contractor I can tell you Prices on homes rarely decrease...They can go sideways for even quite awhile but as labor & materials continue to increase so does everything else. Of course prices do decrease in areas that have become ghettos but that is not for most

Kiwi brothers deny all charges, their parents speak out - March 19
mania replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well that is the problem isn't it...Did they assault a cop or just disarm a situation that may have ended much worse? Old saying that of course will not be valid in Thailand though is.... βIt's better to be tried by 12 than carried by sixβ On a not so funny side note ....imagine how the parents feel hearing this story & then the news today that Thailands two top ranking cops have been suspended/switched off due to corrupt activities accusations..... The Joe Ferrari's of Thailand are alive & well. Thailand Thailand π -
This probably means all their customer data security has been breached. Because if they have a name/account number etc etc for these scam bills that means they have access. If not then those who just scan & pay are pretty gullible

Agree with Tim that banning import of Maize from neighboring burning countries does Zero to help Thailand. In fact it is little more than the pot calling the kettle black. The PM should consider cleaning up his own house before sanctioning others. If this is a tit for tat then all those countries should also ban any imports from Thailand due to their burning

Well I don't think you would have heard of it unless the guy is caught. But that cops in Thailand are often unhinged is not unheard of Thailand massacre: ex-cop kills 24 children in knife and gun rampage That Phuket cops are some of the worse in Thailand is not unheard of Phuket officer gets 25 years for drunken Bangla shooting Both of those examples are recent...do you think they are the only examples? They do not include the unheard π
