Dear Friends of Mine:
As usual, I often think it almost criminal when some member here posts an inquiry, and then receives a lot of helpful advice, ....and...
Then cannot even take the time to provide and update concerning...
The upshot.
Under this Topic, there were many valuable suggestions.
And, if I were one with more time on my hands....
Then I might have chosen some more perfect solution.
However, the Hot Season and the Smoking Season are nigh....
Maybe only a week or so in the future, around March First.
Therefore, I needed to act fast....and...
Put my hopes for the perfect solution on hold...until...maybe...
Next years.
This is why, I opted for the material: Locally called Fiber Cement Board.
This board meets most of my requirements.
Completely opaque.
Can be installed in a jiffy.
Quite water resistant, as far as I know.
Strong as all get-out.
The minuses might include lack of sufficient ability to limit sound transmission.
However, I can just test it, first, and see if I am OK with it, as is.
Also, of course, thermal transmission might not be all that I had originally hoped for.
Yet, still, using this board will limit thermal transmission from radiation quite a bit, given that I have two layers of it.
Also, same goes for convection of heat, I think.
Sometimes, we cannot ask for the Moon, when there is not enough time to get one's duck in order.
This solution I chose, as a temporary solution is really not so terrible.
If I had had more time, I might have installed something else.
But, the Ides of March is not far off.
And, in a week or so, it's gonna get HOT, and it's gonna get SMOKY.
Using this board, I will be protected...
Thank the Lord.
(I suppose, if I really want to, I can add some outer insulation to this board...and, I am thinking of Dryvit. Have you ever heard of this product?)
They call it...OUTsulation....haha. And, I guess it works well. I once knew the guy who owned the company....

All is well that ends reasonably well....
Best regards,

Oh! there are lots of Definition of corruption
There is not any single widely accepted definition of corruption and the term has been used in variable contexts. The most prominent definitions emphasize the abuse of public power or position for personal benefit. This definition out-rules private-to-private corruption. It can be argued that leaving the private-to-private sector out is artificial,
because the effects on the economy are very much the same in spite of the actual process where corruption is taking place.
Courruption is wide spread in Thailand as is accepted as the norm the western attitude is shock and disbelieve
I have been getting my Social Security paid directly into a Bangkok Bank direct deposit account for 3-ish years. I'm slightly concerned with the DOGE purge targeting SS checks going into foreign accounts. Does anyone else feel like this might be a yellow or red flag? I like the convenience of direct deposit. I already know someone is going to tell me it's not the most cost-effective way. I don't care. I like the status quo.
