Are there any notable exceptions? Probably if you follow the 'new money' younger crowd, as want to be in new, nicer, manicured neighborhoods. So new developments, though not priced for us poor fixed income folks. So they are too busy, 'both' working, so live the maintenance free / provided developm...

Yea......tell me about it. Xmas 2018, daughter wanted a camera, her 1st, and myself, just action cam for drones or point & shoots, though decent ones, at the time I bought and thought expensive. Did research, settled on Sony for advance AF systems, and bought in entry level, 5 yr old body, but s...

Wow........that's dangerous. I was thinking about going to Krung Thep next week also, and even staying at BangNa area, as I want to pop over to King Rama IX park. Was checking it out, as a flower festival the following week, but thought I'd rather enjoy it more when nobody there, plus, I've seen my ...

Yea........what BB said. Although, I have no desire to go to Patts. But if playing tourist or local Patts expat, then I'd self drive for peace of mind. Or well planned weather week. The gulf can be a bit finicky and it doesn't seem to take much for a cancellation. I would think, any small craft warn...

Scariest thing though is they are now carriers. If a non-infected mossie bites them, and then me, I'm likely to become infected with their blood. Yes, same as Dengue fever. Wonder how many are not actually tested, and misdiagnosed as having Dengue instead, as symptoms are about the same. Might be a...

2 new species I got snaps of. Dog takes me to the park every day, and insists I take camera with me, JIC. Along with driving by the surf and a favorite pond almost daily. Little ones, hard to spot, unless actually see flying into the tree. https://i.postimg.cc/0QBJgYx8/DSC05668.jpg https://i.postimg...

Yes, it is the 'Robin' version.

And THANKS.

Thanks....sounds like work though. I'm way too lazy. Here's 2 that stayed still long enough for a snap or more. Fairly common Magpie, though a bit skittish. The yellow one, Slender Billed Oriole, I've been trying to get a snap of forever. Someone suggested it could be a Blake Naped Oriole, though co...

85 down here (PKK municipality), which is kind of surprising, since it rained the past 2 days. Maybe the town is catching up an burning the trash and cuttings, that couldn't be burned the past few days. They / the municipality, seem to be the only ones I see burning things. Guess I have to break out...

Javan Pond Heron....I think. Colorful at different ages, but most here seem to be consistent with that snap. https://ebird.org/species/japher1 Had a bunch the other day at the water company office, as heavy rains flooded the field there, and more birds than I could fit in the lens.... https://i.post...

I've just looked on a travel website and a room in a major Hua Hin five star resort hotel for next week can be had for less than eighty pounds which is comparable with what you could pay for two people in a B & B in the UK. Is that one of them self rated 5* hotels that wouldn't get 3* in the re...

I've used Shopee quite a bit. Use Chrome browser, w/auto translate, and does a fair job. One Shopee pet peeve, (shipping) always listed as free shipping, but rarely is on check out. A few vendors use non Kerry shipping, and worth the extra few baht for Kerry as an option. 2 shipping agents they use,...

"any part of the world you will find the shabby side" Agree, except HH and most of Thailand, is the shabby side. I've only been in a few residential areas of Thailand, that I wouldn't describe as economically depressed. Most looks like, for lack of a better word, a slum area. Just a step u...
