Loi Krathong - Sky Lanterns
Terrible, even dangerous omen. That basically means the bad karma will work against the family, rather then being released. Even worse, the father's sins will work against the children. -

Is that a legal taxi stand? I've always gotten a ticket from the machine and walked over to a numbered taxi so there has never been an argument over who got there first. -

Trying to find a bicycle that is comfortable to ride
I chose the model I wanted and then looked for a shop that had my size in stock. Took a bit of time and a few decision changes as not all models are available here, but I finally got what I wanted. The shop staff were very professional. I see that you are in the North. 888Bike Shop in Chiangrai have a wide range (888bike.net). Maybe worth checking out unless they are underwater at the moment. Run through their website to see if there is anything that takes your fancy. One of the biggest problems I have found is size. Many shops do not stock large frame sizes as they do not sell so well so I eneded up going down to Bangkok to buy my. However, if you don't have to long an inseam, you should be fine. -

Thai Consumers Shift to Essential Goods Amid Economic Concerns
In the face of growing economic uncertainty, Thai consumers are adjusting their spending habits significantly, as revealed by PricewaterhouseCoopers' (PwC) latest survey. With 54% of respondents expressing significant concern over macroeconomic volatility, a cautionary trend towards essentials spending is evident. The "Voice of the Consumer Survey 2024: Asia Pacific – Thailand Snapshot" presented the findings, showing that economic uncertainty surpasses worries about inflation (53%) and cyber risks (41%). Pisit Thangtanagul, CEO of PwC Thailand, noted that Thais now seek value for money more than ever. Conducted with 504 participants between January and February 2024, the survey shows a shift in intent to increase spending on groceries (69%), health and beauty products (60%), and electronic devices (52%) over the next six months. Additionally, 40% of consumers are willing to switch to cheaper brands for better value. Social media has emerged as a leading shopping platform, with 73% of Thai consumers having made purchases through these channels, surpassing both regional (56%) and global (34%) averages. However, concerns about privacy and data security remain high, with 77% of consumers wary about data sharing on these platforms. Environmental sustainability also plays a crucial role in consumer choices. An overwhelming 95% of respondents acknowledged the impact of climate change on their lives, and over half are ready to pay an average of 11.7% more for sustainable products. The preference for eco-friendly options such as waste reduction, recycling, and sustainable packaging is on the rise. The survey also highlights substantial interest in electric and hybrid vehicles, with 79% of respondents showing interest in owning an EV or HEV. In light of these insights, Pisit stressed the importance of integrating data protection measures and sustainability initiatives to align with consumer expectations. He recommended the use of advanced technologies, including GenAI, and a balance between online and offline marketing strategies to boost customer engagement and trust. Thai consumers’ evolving spending patterns and concerns amid economic challenges call for businesses to adapt strategically, catering to both practical needs and eco-friendly preferences.

KFC in decline?
Trump likes KFC so I'll never eat KFC again!!! And the store has MAGA red and white colors! Ewwwwww! <just kidding> Personally I just don't like KFC fast-food, or fast-food in general. Too many better choices in Thailand.
