That's one of the reasons we have a camera in the car. If stopped, I swivel the camera over to the cop. Amazing how smooth things go if BIB Bob is being videoed. Fyi, considering that motorcycles are prime targets for shakedowns, if I still lived in the city and drove my motorcycle (the best way to get around in Chiang Mai imho) I have a helmet mounted camera as well. For farang driving MC I'd consider a helmet and a mounted camera to be top priorities. It solves a lot of problems before they begin.

I've got a home treadmill that cost me about 24K THB. I has served me well over the years. Pacific Fitness OMA Model 1610MA. Occasionally it will give me errors when I start it, but at this point it hasn't completely failed. But.......... We may be getting to that point and use this pretty much daily. Also the push-buttons for increasing speed and incline are not functioning properly which is not big deal right now as there are alternate ways to get the speed and incline to increase and decrease. I've seen people doing maintenance and repair on treadmills like this in gyms, both in Chiang Mai and Lamphun. So there are outfits out there that can do repairs on these in our area. I just don't know who? Does anyone know or have used a company that have mechanics who can repair and service treadmills? I need an outfit that can do onsite service. Considering the price of the treadmill, I'm not adverse to paying service personally for their drive time to come to my home if the service center is in Chiang Mai.

These 3M P-100 masks do work.

Let my wife handle it.

Safe and Effective!

Chuvit is 100% Thai!

..........5x the price.

Apple! Twice as small! Twice the price!

UK economy only G7 nation to shrink in 2023 - IMF Until it's not. ????

Central Festival - Another type of parking space Personally I wouldn't know as I avoid malls like they are Covid the plague.

I try to interact as little as possible with employees of Thai banking institutions. Most of what I do can be done online easily. Thai online banking is superior to my own home country imho. However, the face-to-face experience dealing with bank employees in my home country is about 1000% better than Thailand. Each system has its pros and cons.

Reverse Osmosis with UV machines that are maintained well - yeah I trust them.

Trust me. My wife and all rural villagers know how the yaba traffic works and exactly which people, entities, and institutions are involved. Meth is big business, big money, and a huge social problem. Most average (non-Meth users) aren't happy about the drug trade nor those involved either. It doesn't end because of the nature of the stakeholders making the money. Bust the plebs for a couple of pills and the 'authorities' (I use that term loosely) are so busy busting nobodies that those actually involved in trafficking are able to skate.

Farangs tourists make good hood ornaments for Benz drivers.

You stop and they stare off into space as you hear the squeal of brakes and the smell of burnt rubber as the vehicles behind you almost rear-end you and motorcycles blow by on both side of you.

Just like the Drew Carey improvisation show Whose Line Is It Anyway where "Everything is made up and the points don't matter!"

And your scientific source? Attribution or it's hearsay.

Case of extortion of Taiwanese actress thrusts e-cigarette issues into the spotlight in Thailand Well it's obvious - e-cigarettes cause extortion.

Preferably cotton T's that are a size too small and wet!

Yep, however I think they will need to build new prisons.

That law will make traffickers out of 99.9% of the Meth-users in Thailand. If Thailand was honest and actually wanted to address the Meth problem (and they have a huge problem), they would adopt the Portugal model of handling illegal drug use. Instead? They seem to want to sweep up large amounts of the younger population of Thailand and throw them all in prison of 3+ years. It won't solve the problem - it will just destroy lives.

Fly to Guam. Safe and Effective.

Getting Covid Boosters: still a good idea? Absolutely. Safe and Effective!

We have seen hail big enough to dent cars. But it essentially is a matter of luck (or being unlucky). You can watch these storm cells develop on weather radar. These are usually 'small' localize micro-bursts that effect one area of village and yet 5 km away there is no damage. We've been lucky up to this point and when we have gotten hail it's noisy as heck but of rather 'normal' size. Anyway, good to know that they are design to be 'hail resistant' within tolerances. I didn't know that.
