Travel blogger heaps praise on Cambodian police after Phnom Penh theft
Its already happening. I had a young dude complain to me that Siem is starting to look like an old age home. If you dont have a Thai wife, and if you are too old for round the clock fleshpots, and you need a change of scene, and you like the old timier Asian city vibe, and you dont want to hassle with all the BS the Thai govt lays on you, you just come on over be 55, pay their $300 and come and go as you please. Horny? $27 bus to Bangkok. You can even get to Buriram and Surin quickly for a change of scene. Ive met 5 guys here (Americans) who ditched their retirement Visas in Thailand because of tax uncertainty. One of them rents a (nice) $100 studio here and has a condo in BKK. He follows the air, the seasons, the hormones. Hes younger than me though. I wish this place would have been livable 15 years ago. -

How do you fit in a plane seat ?
In that case my Wife should get a huge discount, as she's half my weight (makes up for it with baggage though)... So now not only would you see fat people paying more, you'd see athletes penalised too ? See what kind of daft rabbit hole this discussion can enter. If you want to 'economise further' make people 'pee before take off' (or charge for onflight urination: Ryan Air) which seemed ridiculous until we realise ANA did this in 2009. All Nippon Airways (ANA) suggested that passengers use the restroom before boarding as part of an initiative to reduce weight and save fuel costs. The idea was that lighter passengers mean a lighter aircraft, leading to fuel savings. While the exact cost savings depend on multiple factors, such as passenger weight, aircraft type, and flight duration: Estimations are: The average weight of urine per person is around 300-500ml (~0.3-0.5kg). ANA carries about 42 million passengers per year. If every passenger pees before boarding, it could reduce total aircraft weight by 12,600 to 21,000 kg per day (assuming full compliance). Fuel savings are typically 3-5% per 1000 kg of weight reduced. Jet fuel costs around $3 per gallon (~$0.79 per litre), and fuel burn rate varies by aircraft. Rough Calculation: A Boeing 787 burns ~ 0.08 kg of fuel per kg of weight per hour. For a 3-hour flight, the reduction could mean ~3.8 to 6.3 kg of fuel saved per flight. With ~2000 daily ANA flights, that equates to 7,600 to 12,600 kg of fuel saved daily. At $0.79 per litre (~$3 per gallon), this could mean daily savings of $6,000 to $10,000+. Annually, that’s up to $3.65 million in fuel savings. -

Condo plumber recommendations
Hi all, We're looking for a plumber with expertise in fixing water pump and pipe vibration problems in a condo building (not a house). Water hammer from the pump and also excessive vibration in the pipes into/near our unit. Some English communication skills would help as it's not a topic my Thai-language skills are up to. We also have a problem with septic tank smells coming into the unit at certain times of day, so need someone who can investigate which part of the septic tank ventilation system is at fault. Just to note, the condo Juristic Person and the construction company seem unwilling to sort out these issues, so we may have to deal with them ourselves. Thanks for any plumber suggestions. -

Solar - 8kW Hybrid Inverter w/10kWh (upgraded to 20kWh in Sept. 2022) ESS/battery (not DIY)
Are you by any chance on a temporary supply? If not then I would take those low voltage readings to PEA. When we were on a temporary/construction supply we had similar problems with low voltage. It was even worse if anyone decided to do a bit of welding in the village 1km away where our supply came from. It was this that caused me to go solar. We had to wait a few years until there was sufficient customer demand for a transformer to be installed for supplying five houses. -
