Re: The AI (artificial intelligence) thread
Well, considering how long the spell check function has been around, and how infuriating it can be at times, is AI really going to improve things all that much?

Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?
I was under the impression that any passport needed to have a minimum of six months validity remaining before travel? The airlines might not even let you get on a plane if you have an expired passport.

Re: Thailand plans to decriminalize cannabis
The genie is out of the bottle and they are going to have a hard time getting it back in, if ever. And what about the other elephant in the room, the kratom plant? Everyone has a plant or three in their garden (of both) and it is not going to die a sudden death.. Or be put to bed, so to speak.

Re: Phone charger destroys car
Looks like one of those Hyundai people mover vans popular with hisos. I very much doubt a phone charger would start a fire; most vehicles will have a USB port somewhere to plug your cable into. Many of these will be customized and have additional wiring and/or systems. Hyundai also did have a recall...

Re: Fluoride in drinking water
Fluoride is a highly toxic waste product of certain manufacturing processes including the nuclear industry. They had a problem of how to dispose of this waste until they convinced the public that fluoride is actually good for you. Not. I always look for toothpaste with zero fluoride content and avoi...

Re: Hua Hin Then and Now Comparison
Unlike most of you, I'd fit into the Bangkok weekender crowd.. Got my first car circa 1992 and remember parking it at the Melia. The furthest out of town we stayed was that the Dusit, but I did like the Hin Suay Nam Sai place, the kids and extended family spent at lot of time at the pool. Closer int...

Re: House Bricks
Unfortunately, Nereus is right. You cannot get what we consider a 'standard' brick here, and I do understand your inference to a Mars bar for what is available as it is not far from the truth. Nobody uses bricks any more given that there are more viable construction methods these days. Though my old...

Re: FB Brand Car Battery
The 70mai jump starter I have in the back of the car uses lithium polymer batteries so will definitely outlast the lead acid lump you have in the car..

Re: FB Brand Car Battery
If you drive an auto, get a jump start battery just in case. I have jumper cables and 70mai jump starter pack in my car all the time.

Typically in the tropics, 2-3 years before you stand the risk of a no-start situation.

Re: FB Brand Car Battery
It depends on the type of battery. Most unsealed lead acid batteries come with that kind of warranty as they are not built to last. It's the heat that kills the batteries. When I had the Saab the battery location was less than ideal (at least for the tropics) as it was in the engine bay right next t...
