Typical...It is like the none option they give us every four years. You want to vote for this or that? Which is worse? Never really a smart choice like none of the above allowed Now with this cut SS & Medicare vs raise the budget? How about we take some off the insane military budget? How about we stop giving billions to places like Israel year after year? The list is long but we never consider or are allowed "Those" options Just threaten to cut what we have already paid for or raise the budget again I pity the future children as we are definitely not leaving them a country/world as nice as the one we inherited & trashed

Work-from-home order issued as Thai city tops world pollution table
mania replied to ozimoron's topic in Chiang Mai
To be fair if he is doing this he should also let Embassies know to warn any potential Chiang Mai Tourist that if they come to please stay indoors/ Hotel rooms etc to protect themselves .....or better yet don't come -
How high is your blood pressure that you take medication
mania replied to steveb5's topic in Health and Medicine
I never cease to be amazed at how few people even try to lower it themselves Instead take a pill & get good enough numbers yet never changed the cause Same with cholesterol meds so many take them & continue to eat what caused it in the first place And yes before anyone says it I am aware there are folks that cannot change things thru diet or exercise....but truth is few try, Same for doctors who never suggest alternatives FIRST -
It is BIG here in the USA as are most of the people ???? Don't get me wrong I use it a lot to buy things that are not available in this State for my hobbies etc But now what seems insane to me is for instance Target parking lot All the front rows of parking is reserved for drive thru order pickups Folks are actually ordering all their groceries & have Target workers go with a wagon & pick their items You give them X amount of time then go park in one of those spaces let them know order#xxx is here in space xxx & they come out & get this....they put it in your eco bags in your trunk etc. The drivers usually large women never get out of the dang car So for folks like us that do our own shopping now in the store is not crowded with customers much but always crowded with Target workers with their Giant red wagons speeding around doing multiple orders picking which their software consolidates etc. So if 10 shoppers want bananas they grab 10 bunches etc Restaurants? Same took my wife & daughter to a lunch yesterday at a Chinese restaurant...Ony one other table had people...While there at least 4-5 grab type drivers come in & pick up orders. Exceot here they use cars not scooters Stopped at a Starbucks same things...a wall with ready to pickup coffee cups segregated by sections for the phone in folks....I mean where is the pleasure in that? So yeah I do buy things online that I can't get locally or even used things from Ebay etc but this new wave of online everything is taking some already fat lazy people & turning them into real Jabba the Hun's

Funny you ask because on Thai social media the big joke is... The reason there is so much more smoke this year is because Anutin legalized Marijuana ???? -

Thailand's extreme air pollution: 'I feel sorry for my daughter'
mania replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sorry you have to move but IMHO your the smart one I mean it will not change anytime soon & health is the greatest wealth we have. For those that stay & perhaps develop a respiratory illness or worse will they be kicking themselves or just say oh well I knew the risk when I rolled the dice & now I pay the price Not an easy choice & not everyone can even make the choice. But good on you for being honest with yourself -

Sadly there is only one way out for you & your wife. If not then sadly accumulation of years of seasonal inhalation of this muck & its result Because truthfully anyone who thinks this will end anytime soon is hopeful at best -

I always swam in Chiang Mai My price was 60 baht per Thai price was 20 baht per Always talked with a nice older Thai man as we waited for pool to open in morning for laps We talked about it once & he was surprised by it. But yeah as others have said...None ever accused Thailand of being fair in these matters & if you have thin skin about these things best just vote with your feet Folks don't really realize it but, if ever something really goes south in Thailand ....Your last if in line at all. Look back at the fairly small example at the start of Covid when many restaurants would not even allow foreigners in Or Anutins comments back then Banks? Good luck if ever they did collapse & the Thai insurance of 1 million baht was called on Imagine the line & where foreigners would be in those lines Not saying it is a deal killer but eyes wide open & decide...don't complain like this now or then as this is about how it always was

Thailand's extreme air pollution: 'I feel sorry for my daughter'
mania replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Actually no I do not believe most anything any government says but.......... Using reported numbers as a general baseline for comparison is ok & that is what I find A number for reported covid related deaths & a number for reported air pollution related deaths Remember your knife cuts both ways. Other countries over reported covid deaths because of funding options available based on how many recorded "covid related" deaths they could tally Truth is many were "covid related" deaths ....even if actually killed by many other things but patient "had" covid at some point Lastly what is your point anyway? Your saying what? Thailand has no air pollution related deaths? Try to concentrate your drifting...???? -
Thailand's extreme air pollution: 'I feel sorry for my daughter'
mania replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What is amazing is Thailand closed its doors & wrecked its economy over Covid which had a total of 33k deaths. Yet this bad air has in just a year been liable for 29,000 deaths across 31 Thai provinces in 2021— Greenpeace -
Intoxicated Danish Man in Pattaya Allegedly Refuses to Pay for Kebabs
mania replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
From the article.... 210 baht bill caused him to be outraged? He had been drinking all night for who knows how much baht & probably buying lady drinks that cost more Sometimes one has to wonder what is wrong with some of these guys Then to again assault her in front of the cops? First plane out in the morning should be the punishment with a ban of years to return This would be a true use of good guys in bad guys out He has zero benefit to Thailand -
