Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
Typical farang arrogant thinking that they are better than Thais. It's like western countries are perfect, when they are just as backward as Thailand in many aspects. People complain about the school system in Thailand when western teaching is rubbish for the average pupil. Western countries are just as bad as LOS when it comes to violence and crime. Tell me this, if west is best, why are so many westerners wanting to live in LOS? IMO the west sucks, and Thailand, for all it's problems is way ahead of the west. in so many things. Of course the poor suffer, as they do in every country including the west, but how many hiso Thais are wanting to live in the west? If west was best all the rich Thais would be living there, but they ain't. Of course poor Thais want to live in the west, because they see western tourists and think everyone in the west gets to live like that, which is far from the truth. -

Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
For the flight data recorder that records the airspeed, etc, there is not really much reason to have an independent battery backup because if the aircraft electrical power fails, all of the various electronic sensors that provide the data will stop working, so there will be nothing to record anyway. The cockpit voice recorder is the only thing that really makes sense to have its own independent battrry backup. -

iHerb vs. Vitacost: A Recent Comparison
Many years ago, I frequently ordered products from iHerb and had them delivered to me in Thailand. At the time, they offered excellent value, charging just $10 for shipping with up to 3.5 pounds of products. However, iHerb eventually stopped shipping to Thailand, stating too many lost packages as the reason. When iHerb discontinued delivery to Thailand, I switched to Vitacost. Vitacost offered a similar fixed shipping rate, around $12–$13 for small packages weighing a few pounds. I continued ordering from Vitacost for a while, even after iHerb resumed shipping to Thailand. But by then, iHerb’s shipping fees had increased significantly, so sticking with Vitacost seemed like the better option. But then a few weeks ago, I discovered that iHerb no longer charges shipping fees to Thailand for orders of at least $45. Even for smaller orders, their shipping fees are now minimal, often just a few dollars. This is because iHerb now warehouses their products in South Korea and ships them regionally from there. Orders from iHerb are delivered to Thailand via Flash Express, also significantly improving delivery speed. For example, my last order from Vitacost took three weeks to arrive in Thailand. In contrast, orders from iHerb now arrive within a week due to their proximity in South Korea. Additionally, iHerb simplifies the VAT process by including a small fee at checkout, which eliminates the need to pay VAT upon delivery. With Vitacost, I had to pay a 63 Baht VAT fee when my package arrived. Since I wasn’t available to pay the delivery person, the package was sent back to the post office and redelivered the next day, an extra hassle iHerb effectively avoids. Another advantage of iHerb is their pricing and brand availability. While I primarily ordered Vitacost’s house-brand products because they were more affordable, they also often lacked in having high enough potency on some products. By contrast, iHerb offers lower prices and well-known brands like NOW Foods. This means I can order higher-quality products with better potencies for the same price I used to spend on Vitacost’s house brand. For instance, on my last iHerb order this week, I managed to get three comparable items for the same price it usually cost me to get only two similar items from Vitacost. That shows you how much higher some of the prices can be on Vitacost. Given the faster delivery, lower shipping costs, VAT prepayment, better product selection, and more competitive pricing, iHerb has now just become the far better choice for me compared to Vitacost on deliveries of vitamins and health supplements to Thailand. -
