What do you buy online mostly ?
I don't understand how they correlate. I love music, always have, many styles, and collect the best of those. I can go to my collection and take a box of cd's I'd like to hear while driving somewhere, which is the main place where I listen to them. I do also collect Dvd's, fishing equipment and hunting gear for the same reason. Part time entertainment. -

My advice to alter your medication has helped a little but not 100%. Keep trying until you get it right. -

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Don't worry Toyota's revolutionary new engines and EV batteries (always just around the corner in anti-EV videos/articles) will make Toyota worldwide sales soar in the near future (another always just around corner). 😜😁 And I just love how that Toyota Europe Newsroom release refers to Toyota "hybrid" models as "electrified" sales/models although most of these models just have a small traction battery & small electric motor to "assist" in some driving scenarios the primarily combustion engine. Kinda like being a mixed breed of 90% combustion and 10% electric. Using "electrified" terminology might imply to some the Toyota hybrids are true EVs and Toyota is pressing full speed ahead in transitioning to fully electric vehicles. But hey, it's good salesman language for selling hybrids. -

Expats in Pattaya nasty ?
Georgia - given your recently threads its as if you are developing (or already have) a strong anti-farang bias.... (there are a couple of others on this forum who can't help themselves denigrate other westerners at any opportunity). Thai said: on the stinky thing... Yep - 'People' can often stink... Family and I were in a lift the other day a Westerner and his Wife were in there, one of them (I assume the other foreigner) was stinking of body odour... no excuses there, he could surely afford laundered clothes and to take a shower, & use deodorant. Then just yesterday we had some work men over.... by the end of the day one of them was reeking of body odour, foul enough to smell it outside, meanwhile the other two seemed 'ok'. I think some people just stink more than others - but showering at least twice per day and always wearing freshly laundered clothes is an absolute must IMO - if I've so much as 'drawn a sweat' I always change my clothes when given a chance. ------------ On another note... a few weeks ago in hospital I was getting some 'pre-treatment checks'... (getting some blood taken)... One nurse (slightly older) says to the other (in Thai)... "he smells so nice"... ... the other nurse (younger).. comes and sits next to me... then responds... (in Thai again)... "Yes, he does smell so nice, really, really".... I smile and say thank-you in Thai... they then erupt in giggles, ask me if I can understand Thai, to which I reply in Thai, "Yes, I understand and speak a little"... we then have a conversation in Thai as they both get closer "smelling me" !!!... the older nurse then asks, "do you have a Thai Wife ?".... I answer yes... she then giggled... "don't tell her about this !!!"... A similar event happened again (after staying over night - minor surgery), I was able to shower... When a different nurse came in to see to give me my medication... (my was was present)... the nurse asked my wife... "he smells so nice, what is he wearing"... Wife and I laughing because this seemed to be an on going thing over a few days.... ...Meanwhile... I remember threads on here with Westerners stating how they get offended by women's strong perfume burning the nostrils, how Thai's hate strong smells of perfume and aftershave etc... ... ... Clearly Thai's like a 'pleasantly smelling' (not overpowering) odour of another person.. ... Clearly some 'miserly stinkers' are offending people with their 'I just use a bit of aluminium stick'.... they probably don't know they still have 'body odour'... ... Then there are the blatant stinkers !!!.... Personally, I think the biggest cause of stinkers is poorly laundered clothes... where antibacterial washing powder is not used and the 'stinky bacteria' are never quite fully washed away. I've had this in other countries... whereby I get my clothes laundered, then come back dry and smelling ok, but as soon as I start to sweat or 'get moist' the smell from the clothes is not pleasant and I'm forced to change.... (some hotels / laundries - use detergent that just does not do the job of ensuring bacteria is removed from clothes)... -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Let` s say you want to steal elections. Your competitor can have 60 70 or even 90% of votes. What will you do? You will steal as little votes as possible to minimize risks. So the results of all the stolen elections around the world looks very similar - like 50.0001% / 49.99999%. Therefore, it is not surprising that the result in Molodova does not inspire confidence. -

Positive stroke for moving to Chiang Mai
If you are talking about avoiding the pollution, you are years too late. Our oceans are super polluted, NASA has a satellite showing active "open" fires and during the CM burning season just look at the SEA part - is almost totally red as ASIANs from SEA, north to CHINA and west to INDIA plus to the south also, the red inidicative of forest fires or sugar cane field burning, or corn fieds b urning or rice fields burning and of course the mushroom hunters and their forest fires. There is no escape here. Yeah I came from the US, but pollution is not on my list of why I am here instead of there. I don't plan to change my mind about returning there...With weather changing around the world who really knows where any place is the best. To each their own. -

Thai Officials Face Probe Over Fatal School Bus Inferno
What about all the other officers in other districts responsible for similar misdeeds? Many other buses were found to be faulty in the first round of inspections, not all from this one office. Unfortunately with the endemic corruption in many government agencies, I am sure this will be contained to blame a few lowly officials if any. My children will never be allowed to travel on a CNG/LPG powered bus and I advise all other parents to make the same decision. Hopefully this will stop this hazardous practice. -

Samsung repairs / after sales service
They don't make them like they used too ! I go with Sony for TV's nowadays. Panasonic if I could find one. I always assumed that a warranty period was the guarantee to repair free of charge during that time period, however, last week I watched a YouTube video about consumer rights and found out that the majority of electronics companies will repair free of charge after this period if you pay for shipping. A threat of court action normally initiates this free repair. Food for thought but then again it is Thailand !
