Smart move on his part to test over water. Much softer landing if something fails than if he were over land. Glad they didn't overlay the soundtrack with music. Interesting to hear just how loud those spinning props are.

^^^ You're right about that. There is a positive though, the temps are considerably cooler from a couple of days ago.

^^^ The DNSO puts on some amazing performances. Think I posted this one before, but it's so good it's worthy of a repost.

Hope it's the real deal and not a Chinese copy from Lazada.

^^^ You're right we tend to get complacent living here and that the goings on in Pattaya become the new normal. Good to be reminded every now and then we're lucky to be living in the world's best adult Disneyland. -

Perfect light rain shower for the garden. Smells a lot better than the polluted air too. -

I thought you were traveling alone. Didn't realize you were traveling with a party of six. Safe travels. -
Is it raining in Pattaya? (Threads Merged)

My lady was on her way back from BKK yesterday when she got caught in the heavy rains around Sri Racha. In a call she mentioned flooding on Hwy 7, but don't think it was as bad as in the pictures below. Just slowed traffic down to a crawl. https://www.facebook.com/Thepattayanews/posts/1347855202649724 -
That would be a first. I've done one visa transfer and no passbook was asked for, nor have others I know that have gone through the process been asked.

I just remembered another option for solar heating and that is a simple solar pool cover. I used one when I had a pool back in the US and it worked reasonably well, even in the cooler climate of Wisconsin. I expect it work even better here as it would help retain the heat in the water during the cool nights, as well as provide increased solar heating during the day. Two other benefits would be reduced water loss due to evaporation and keeping the wind born crap out of the water.

Some interesting points about rental EV's made in this article. Hertz CEO out following electric car ‘horror show’ ... But the problem for Hertz wasn’t necessarily that the cars were electric, and customers simply do not want to drive electric cars. The problem was how Hertz handled the fleet in general, according to industry analysts. “The execution and marketing of EV’s [by Hertz] was a horror show across the board,” said Daniel Ives, an analyst with Wedbush Securities who follows the EV market. “It’s a black eye they couldn’t recover from.” Part of the problem for Hertz was that even people who might want to buy an EV wouldn’t necessarily want to rent one while on the road, when they don’t necessarily have the ability to plug them in to charge them as they would at a private home. There might not be a charging station, or enough time, for a rental car customer to charge an EV, Ives said. By hewing to charging rules the way Hertz has enforced refueling rules, it may have dissuaded customers from wanting to rent an electric car. Without building any charging infrastructure at its rental locations, Hertz may have hurt its own business. “They don’t want to go 20 minutes out of their way at five in the morning to find a charging station,” Ives said. ... Even without the drop in value of the cars it bought, Hertz struggled with collision and damage repairs on an EV running about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle, Scherr told investors on a 2023 call. ...

I was curious as to how one would contact a PA mod if you couldn't log on, but I see there's a pop up message when you go to the PA website with a "contact us" link. Using that link you should be able to message the mods with your board name and email address so they can help with getting you logged back on to PA.

Sure would like to know who took the gun out of the holster, and when.

Do you miss the snow? Truth be told, I do. -
I've occasionally used TeamViewer on my son's computer back in the States to avoid having my Thai IP address logged.

I was wondering too if perhaps they were fearful of their own lives to do what they did. Might be more to this story than what's being made public.

I'm always on the lookout for different types of gifts to bring back to the States on my annual visits. Those sauce and curry packets would make for a great gift and wouldn't take up much luggage space. -

When the pool is full have you ever tried the quick access method to the pool from that window?
