Unhelpful Honda Car Dealer Service Department in Chiang Mai
My Honda was flooded at home during last floods in Chiang Mai. I contacted my insurance company who took it away for 3 weeks to be cleaned, dried and repaired where necessary. When it was returned everything seemed ok. After a short time both electric windows on passenger side stopped working and the drivers window auto function worked intermittently. The other day I went into a Honda dealer to the service department. There were 2 guys sitting at desks playing with their phones and didn't bother looking up, the cashier and a "greeter". Greeter asked me what I wanted and I asked if a service agent could speak english. She pointed to one and he just indicated to the cashier. She mumbled something and the greeter said to the guy you speak english. He reluctantly looked at me. I had a photo of car in the flood in hope it may make it easier . I showed him photo and without asking anything he just said "next year" I tried to explain had been repaired by insurance company garage and it was only 2 windows not working. "Next year". Btw this was on the 6th. I asked what no service until next year and again he said "next year". I just turned around and walked off with another "next year". So with 25 days left in the year no more service. Possible but hard to believe. There were no other customers in service department at the time. Normally this Honda dealer is very helpful but one lazy agent can ruin their reputation. -

People who support Cashless Society
"but we are losing more and more control over our own lives to governments". Very true, there will come a time when everyone will be under a sort of CCTV when nothing will be private. Think about it. -

I didn't particularly like my parents. And I know lots of people with children who "misbehave" and don't like their parents. Obviously, there are also some situations where parents and children are happy together, also later in life. Children are, especially in Thailand, a huge financial burden. I wouldn't want my children going to a cheap school. So, option 1, I would have to work mostly for the children, option 2 send them to a cheap school, or option 3 having no children. I like option 3. If I would earn a lot of money (lets say >10k USD per month) then maybe option 1 would be acceptable. -

Naked Russian Man Rescued from Sea Between Pattaya and Koh Larn
Naked Russian man rescued by speedboat hero near Pattaya by Bob Scott Picture courtesy of Expedia A naked and exhausted Russian man was dramatically rescued by a heroic speedboat driver headed to Koh Lan off the coast of Pattaya. The incident, which unfolded about six kilometres from Pattaya, grabbed headlines due to the man’s dire predicament. Pracharat Satsuk, a 34 year old speedboat operator, revealed how he stumbled upon the struggling swimmer during his regular route, ferrying around 20 foreign tourists to the beloved island hotspot of Koh Lan. The Russian was discovered adrift, visibly fatigued, in the choppy waters between Bali Hai Pier and Koh Lan. Spotting the man’s distress, Satsuk sprang into action, flinging a life buoy and carefully hauling him aboard. On the boat, Satsuk offered the man a towel and desperately-needed drinking water, attending to his immediate needs with compassion. “The bloke was knackered, absolutely wiped out. His body had cuts, probably from the salty water. Luckily, the current wasn’t strong. He wasn’t swept too far out. If he’d had worse luck, he could have been minced by the propellers.” The Russian later admitted to Satsuk and the captivated tourists that he’d ambitiously set off for a night-time swim from Pattaya with dreams of reaching Koh Lan. However, his stamina failed him, and he found himself stranded, unable to finish the swim. Picture of naked Russian man courtesy of Bangkok Post This gripping tale shines a spotlight on the perilous risks of attempting long-distance swims in open water without proper planning or support. Satsuk’s quick-thinking actions and the calm sea conditions were instrumental in averting what could have been a tragic outcome. This daring rescue serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and readiness for those navigating the bustling waters around tourist hotspots such as Pattaya and Koh Lan.

Mental exercise IMO is just as important as physical exercise. Cognitive stimulation and social interaction are very important, along with healthy diet and exercise. Genetics do play a part, both my parents died with all their marbles, so I think my chances of avoiding senility are good. Of course, there are a few on ASEAN who might disagree.
