Wonder why only 2 fixed dates for registration at Hua Hin, but any normal working day at Takiab.

^^ Forgot - tells the time as well. [emoji16]

I've been using the Amazfit BIP (original, they're now up to version 3) and for what I paid for it, I'm pretty happy. It's a cheap and cheerful one, but does have built-in GPS and a heart rate monitor with alarm settings. It will also display messages when linked with your phone and has a 3 week ba...

Probably happen at the same time as the digital wallet. [emoji16]

Or maybe when a real political diversion is needed.

Who actually polices payment of minimum wage. I've seen all of the minimum wage for 10 provinces raising to 400฿/day propaganda. However, I still see advertisement after advertisement on Social Media offering jobs in Hua Hin for between 300 and 350฿/day. How do they get away with it? I think the mi...

Or maybe Tesla's Optimus robots are causing the job cuts. [emoji848]

And another crossing casualty in Bangkok.

There was/is a cable break somewhere west of Singapore. Cable name is SEA-ME-WE 5. This will only affect international traffic though.

^^ When I drive to and from Bangkok (admittedly not that frequently) I usually see highway patrol cars, and sometimes motorcycles, on Rama 2 Road (in Samut Songkhram mostly) having pulled over a truck or pickup. There aren't many of them, granted. But they do have the duty to make sure that trucks h...

The traffic cops here do not patrol or police the roads to make them safer as they do in most countries; they lurk under trees at roadblocks, nabbing passers-by for easy money. This is why they'll ignore obvious traffic violations as it isn't their job to give a shit about dangerous driving; they'r...

The Beer Lao IPA is much better IMO ... but double the price. Thanks. I'll try the carabao if I see it, but won't go out of my way. 60ish baht for 330ml beer lao isn't too bad. I just tried the Tawandaeng (TD) IPA side by side with the Lao IPA. The Lao is 5% and the TD is 5.5% I prefer the flavour ...

It applies to North American species.

42C in Ratchaburi yesterday. It was quite windy, but the wind just forced the heat onto us. It's hotter (imho, based on the thermometer at the front of the house, in the shade). But the kite flying season (wind) seems longer this year and, together with the heat, dries your sweat faster making you ...
