  1. Zoom in on the map to make it easy to spot Mabprachan, then click on its red dot. I also used Chrome's translate to English.
  2. Most movies I end up using FF to get through the boring bits quite a bit. Didn't FF once with this one. As you wrote, fast paced, well edited, well told story of the real event.
  3. Just finished watching Thirteen Lives. The director and actors did an outstanding job of portraying the 18 days and the efforts of thousands it took to bring the 12 children and their coach out alive. Just an amazing story.
  4. In HS we convinced one of our more gullible classmates that Asian women had vaginas that opened horizontally. Would have liked to be a fly on the wall when he found out the truth.
  5. Until the bank is notified of my demise, and I can't imagine the process being terribly efficient, she can still access and withdraw the money. The legality of doing so is something she'll have to deal with as at that point in time my interest in world affairs will be nil.
  6. In past years when we had normal rainy seasons I remember how wet Sept/Oct were, but come 1 Nov it was like a switch got thrown by the big guy in the sky and the rains all but ended.
  7. Best check with a lawyer to confirm. In my case she's on less tenuous ground as we're not married.
  8. Saw a post on another forum that according to Moulie the staff haven't been paid so they all up and left.
  9. An Asian girl in white, middle class America was a rarity. However one family had adopted a Korean girl that I was friends with in HS. Had a chance at a party to spend some alone time with her that only went as far as heavy petting, but I do have fond memories of how sensitive certain parts of her anatomy were. Ah, sweet memories of youth.
  10. We had a hash run yesterday and four of the 35 were a no shows due to the same symptoms. My co-hare had the same a week ago, but fortunately recovered in time to help set trail. Whatever it is, it is very infectious so you'll need to take appropriate precautions around your mother.
  11. It's been a wet afternoon in Pattaya with several thunderstorms moving through the area. I-Rovers cam has a live feed of the current flooding around Billabong. https://i-rovers.com/cam-sports-schedule/
  12. Something I've advised my lady on, that it would be illegal for her to withdraw funds on a joint account after my demise. Don't know if anyone would want to go through the time and expense of prosecuting her as the amounts would be relatively small. My work around to avoid probate is after my will in the US goes through probate and the funds released, my children will wire a sum to my lady to tide her over in her remaining years. Additionally I just recently had her open a bank account in her own name and she then gave me the ATM card and logon credentials for online banking. I then transferred most of my Thailand funds into that account and will transfer back to my personal accounts money as needed for month to month expenses. That way if I suddenly croak she has the bulk of my money free and clear of an legal hurdles. Doing the above has also given her peace of mind that, while not married, we'll be together for the long haul. After 10 years together she deserves that much and more.
  13. This guy is a great presenter and combines excellent engineering with 3D printing and electronics. What should appeal to our resident photo guys, @john luke, @lazarus and others into photography is the end result, a 35mm f/0.4 lens. If the engineering and build out of the lens isn't your thing, skip to 10:40 to view the end result. Amazing images he gets with the lens.
  14. It's rare to for me to see any snakes while out on jungle trail, but today while setting trail I climbed out of ravine to see a black cobra at the edge of a cassava field I was about to go into. Usually they see me, I see them, and they slither away. But not this one. Think his startle reflex kicked in as he reared up with his hood and fangs out and stayed that way while I very, very slowly backed away. After about a minute he slithered away, but paused to look back just before disappearing into the underbrush. Not my picture, but one off the internet that is about the size of the once I encountered.
  15. I got over my modesty when using the WC after my first arrival at BKK. Relieving myself was surprised to see female cleaning staff doing their thing while I was draining a flight's worth of fluids. Still draw the line at a shoulder rub while I got my willy out though.
  16. That's if they go at all. From reading posts on another board it sounds like quite a few have BF's and just hang out in the bar to socialize and pickup extra money as drink sluts.
  17. Long may the potholes live. IMHO, I like a little adversary as I stumble from drinking hole to drinking hole. Not every bar on the soi is to my liking, but there is enough diversity in the choices that there is bound to be something that suits everyone's favorite place to enjoy a drink, and more.
  18. Slutz will be easy to find with what might be the largest sign on Soi Pothole.
  19. The city council is certainly demonstrating a weird sense of aesthetics. No trees, no kites, but let's pack the vehicles in.
  20. The app uses the phone's microphone to sample the sound coming in and reports back the level in decibels, dB. I use Sound Meter. To keep this OT, I'll have to give it a try next time a thunderboomer rolls through the area.
  21. Bank repossesses the wrong house in central Thailand A woman from Pathum Thani, just north of Bangkok, couldn’t believe her eyes when she returned home to her locks changed, all her belongings seized, and a ‘for sale’ sign outside her house. Thailand’s “Government Savings Bank” (the pink one) sent bailiffs to repossess a house in Wanasiri Park View Village on September 5. The bailiffs changed all the locks and seized everything – even going as far as cutting down trees and removing the house’s awnings. To add insult to injury, the homeowner – Kanchana – later found out that a “worker” (possibly one of the bailiffs?) had been sleeping in her seized house and using her electricity and water for “three or four days.” The bailiffs put up signs saying, “for sale,” “do not trespass” and “property of the bank.” The sign stated that house number 99/44 belonged to the bank, but the sign was placed outside house number 99/38. Confused, a neighbour rang Kanchana on September 15 and asked her what was going on. ...
  22. Get married and the requirement drops to 40K/month.
  23. I have a db app on my phone and the sad thing is it registered around 86db when I tried it out in Tree Town one evening.
