Queue jumping seems to become the new fashion at least in Chiang Mai since about two years.
Cycling on the very left side of the highway shoulder with about 30 km/h, I often have a moron behind me using his horn to demand his "right of way". Knowing that in doubt I'ld be the weaker party sometimes I take refuge at a driveway, only to see him passing directly to the traffic light in front and then performing a blitzstart to squeeze in the normal lane.
The number of these a55holes is growing rapidly. Always men, never women, half of them minibusses.- 3

I became acquainted with a Thai/American brother and sister at a university where I worked. They are fluent in both Thai and English, having an American mother and a Thai father. They both tell me that a large percentage of Thais do not even speak their own language correctly, which leads to any number of misunderstandings. Comments?
Absolutely right! Communication Thai to Thai is an entire misunderstanding when it goes further than "aroi", "sabai" and "suai". My theorie is that they don't really listen, thinking they already know what the sender is telling them.

How is the battery life? Do you need to charge for every ride?
Depends on the functions (training, partner) and screens you use (e.g. coloured constantly moving map needs more power than the screen with black/white info).
When I'm on tour I mostly need the map, then the battery is good for about 7 to 8 hours but when you set the system on really power saving (non-)functions it lasts for 10 hours, sometimes even more.
You can find everything you need to know about this and most other issues in the Garmin Edge forums (https://www.google.de/search?source=hp&q=garmin+edge+forum&oq=garmin+edge+forum&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l2j0i22i30k1l8.935.4775.0.5326.18.14.0.0.0.0.473.2302.3-4j2.6.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..12.6.2299.0...0.-tFRdjpZQyM). -

In the article : "found 174 of the samples were contaminated with phosphate and carbamate, which are the residues from insecticide. However, 99.42% of the whole samples were safe from insecticides."
So 174 is 0,58 % ... means they have tested 30.000 samples . Mmm , sure .
"putting a QR Code to ensure the safety of the product" Oh yes that will ensure the safety !
I thought exactly the same.
And never believe this.
These two figures make the whole statement completely implausible. -
I also believe to notice similar behaviour patterns of Thailands current leader and his new american friend ...

The temple could raise money for the children by selling for example amulets... but thanks to the head monk in Bangkok (already with enough money and residing in a wealthy temple), they are banned from doing that!
Just look at Wat Yai in Phitsanulok, they lost approximated 300,000 in revenues during the 3 first days of the ban!
If you now extrapolite this figure you can estimate a sum of more than 30 million Baht/year from amulet business alone.
Not bad so far for monks ...
On the other hand: Less accidents, more lottery winners ... -
What will happen:
The company will instigate bancruptcy after quickly having pulled out everything of value.
The - if any - insurance will (after months or years) cover a rediculous maximum sum of some million baht.
Here these people, and I mean all of them, not only the influencial ones, need urgent and sufficient help from government. They don't need submarines. -
I see this news just spreading throughout all main media around the world.
In most of the reports also some further info about the current status of legislation and legislative progress in Thailand is given.
Even though I know the memory of readers not directly involved in a certain matter is short, this may put a little bit more pressure on Prayuth to keep this date if he really wants to lift TH out of a 3rd world dictatorship status. -

Maybe it's a pride for a 3rd world country.
For civilized countries taking care for its people and guests it's a matter of course. -

Chiang Rai prepares to retake defunct mine
in Chiang Rai

According to this https://wikivisually.com/lang-th/wiki/อำเภอเวียงป่าเป้า site it should be the area of Doi Mohg. (Search for the word "scheelite"
Looking at Google Earth you even find a pic what could be a mine entrance at N19 24.558 E99 33.282; the Thai description means "Mineral cave Doi Mohg, T. San Sali, A. Wiang PaPao, C. Chiangrai".
But who knows whether the location is correctly posted or not ...?
