Color me surprised. Don't they all? This is part of the Thai underground sex-scene for Thai patrons which the farangs who clamor about those awful "Sex-Pats" don't grasp because they have never lived in predominately Thai community doing the stuff that Thai men do. Got to get out of your gated communities and go slumming Thai-style. It's an interesting sub-culture and rather fun - well, back in the day. Too old to really care now. Been there, done that.

Thanks for the replies!

I figured it out. It's a Quick Charger/Power Adapter 5V/2A. I use it for charging an old Oppo A37 that I keep around as a spare as well as charging a couple of Bluetooth speakers and headphones that I have. USB Type A to USB micro. I've found a couple on Lazada. @OneMoreFarang Lots of cheap fakes out there claiming to be original VOOC brand. Actually I may just go to an Oppo kiosk the next time I'm at Big C and just buy on original. But I need to replace my wife's which is getting hot (cheap knock-off). Wife doesn't grasp safety over price so I've got to do this myself.

I'm searching on "adapter 220v to 12v usb type a" and coming up with nothing on Lazada and Shopee. My wife is using one that is getting too hot for my comfort. It is cheap. I want to buy a couple of these but I'm having zero luck at finding them online. What do you call this:

Which is why they have advisors. JFK pretty much proved that a guy in his 40s can be solid presidential material. Once over 70 (like myself) I personally would prefer to see that individual relegate themselves to an advisory role in the administration. Leader should project strength, vitality, and clear-headed decisiveness. Even Obama did that well (and I'm not an Obama fan but he did project solid leadership skills). Biden? Trump? Nope and nope. The former projects infirmity and the latter arrogance.

He who counts the votes calls the election. Biden 2024! Four More Years - Goooooooooooooo Brandon!

Front - and rotate the old ones to the rear if they still have tread life.

Well, in California they mandate kids learn how to put a condom on a cucumber when the attend mandatory sex education classes which are graphic. US States can do as they please. Don't like it? Don't live in that State. Ya got 49 others to choose from.

I've had ear buzzing since a Humble Pie concert at the Paramount Theater in Seattle 50 years ago.

Find a different doctor who doesn't treat you like livestock.

Try a doctor.

Honestly - you people who wear bling in public to satisfy advertising your status (or how in indebted you are) pretty much deserved to be mugged if it happens. There - said it. That's how safe. While your at it, hang two or three ounces of gold around your neck and a diamond pinky ring like Mr. "I Borrowed The Watches From A Dead Friend" who probably got mugged while wearing his bling. As they say in Thailand - "Up to you!"

You forgot the key word - "Over-priced."

And that 👆

None of the above which is why I don't drink beer anymore. And the beer monopolies have the government by the cajones so that craft-beer is made close to impossible to brew. I refuse to drink this monopolized tiger-swill in Thailand anymore - I'd rather go without. And I do.

You could spend the money to have a lens replacement with an artificial lens that corrects for far-sightedness, but honestly, do you really want to undergo that type of invasive surgery and the cost associated with it when the condition you have can be corrected with prescription eye-glasses? Personally, I wouldn't. But that's just me.

I paid an agent to do my passport pictures and they thoroughly fbar'ed them. I'll pass on the agent. Hell - I have an assertive Thai wife (one of the few in Thailand). Honestly - I let her know what we need to do prior to going to immigration and let her do the talking. She is pretty much buddies with one of the IOs and now working on the new gal with her charm (yeah - she is assertive and charming as well). That keeps me from opening my mouth because after about 10 minutes of stupidity......well, you get the picture. Anyway, the Mrs does the footwork (and has been for years) and she is effective. I'll have her talk with the IO next week and get a list of what they want so there are no surprises - well - unless there ARE surprises. You never know from one week to the next. Play the game and let the wife do the talking.

Just got my today three weeks after it was mailed out (Jun 6). They must of hired practical jokers in the mail room as my mail-in envelope was sealed like someone licked it and pressed it closed. I'll have to open it with a knife and reseal it with tape. Very funny!

For "express mail, Fedx, etc." Letter envelopes go to the PO 7162.

Bye bye petit roi Macron. According to Macron the "Far-Left" and "Far-Right" will create a civil war. BS Le Pen's National Rally and the NFP-Left will form a coalition and will bring about some sort of change which will not be to the liking of the Neo-liberal clowns, like Macron and his handlers, as they all get shoved out of power in the near future. Hopefully together they can address the interests of the public and the people of France. Macron is done. Resign and go back to your banking cartel and devise ways to bring pain and suffering the the masses whom you despise. https://twitter.com/EuropeElects/status/1807475379608895634

The DNC made their bed with a Biden/Harris ticket in 2020. I often accuse Thais of (rightly) being short-sighted but I personally could see the train-wreak back in 2020. I personally have a bias toward having younger people at the helm of governance. Geriatric Boomers have had their run and should be put out to pasture instead of holding on to power at any cost as they experience age-related declines in cognition and health - like Joe Biden who is on the cusp of ending up like Dianne Feinstein while in office. Personally - that poses a danger to the United State's national security. The DNC should have seen this coming and positioned themselves back in 2020 with a younger candidate for president - a Gen-X or Millennial. But? Now they are in a panic that was avoidable. Make your bed, don't complain if the sheets and cover stink with age.

..and sniff bar-girls.

Joe Biden - Four More Years - Goooooooooooo Brandon! Just give Joe some of Hunter's Peruvian Marching Power and he'll be fit as a fiddle! Joe Biden - Four More Years, Four More Years - Goooooooooooo Brandon! Personally I want him on the ticket in November! Goooooooooooo Brandon!

That sucks. 🙏
