When you have addiction issues like me and @Krapow then you know why non alcoholic drinks exist.

Before I left home I was in the pub one night with friends, one of whom is a "Harley boy"; he asked me if I could pick up two XL Harley shirts from the dealer in Pattaya; he opened Google maps on his phone and showed me where the local dealer is, way out on Sukhumvit a little way past the south junction of Jomtien 2nd Rd and Sukhumvit. I told him I could get Harley-related shirts much cheaper from the market or street vendors, but oh no, he wanted the "real thing". I asked a local bike-riding expat about getting shirts at this place a couple of weeks ago and he replied "good luck with that!" so I wasn't expecting any miracles. 

Anyway, I figured I'd work a good walk into this task so I caught a baht bus to the corner of Jomtien Beach Rd and Soi Chayapreuk and then headed out on foot all the way down Chayapreuk to Sukhumvit and then along the main drag. I found the place easy enough and entered it as the only customer; the Thai staff, one female and three males in the showroom, did not even raise their eyes from their phones as I went in and headed over to the clothing section. I poked around there for a while and found a design that didn't look half bad but after going through about 25 examples of same, all they had was one shirt in XL and it was  a light grey colour, made in Nicaragua and not really impressing me with its feel. The price, you ask? 1790b, bloody ridiculous and I just shook my head and left the building.

I then walked all the way down Sukhumvit to Soi Boonkanchana with the hopes of finding a place to wet my whistle, only to find that a bar complex I had visited before Covid has been plowed and is now just another construction site. I had to walk almost all the way to 2nd Rd to find a place that was open and had a fair thirst on by that time; after taking care of that I carried on to Rompho and had a haircut and bite to eat and then home to the condo - 12.5km altogether and I did enjoy the walk. I'll look around Soi Buakhow market for a Harley shirt or two and if they are not good enough for buddy at home, I'll just give them to someone else.

Buying phone charging cables on Shopee again. No matter how many i buy i can't stem the household demand.

I bought 6 of these - colour coded and about 100 baht each.

Screenshot_20240228_200440_Shopee SG.jpg

They have a very thick, well insulated cable and the end terminations look good - very industrial. They started off great and my "Ampere" app reported fantastic charging speeds. Most are now non-functioning or lost (such bright colours how possible?)

So i bought 6 of these at about 75 baht each.

They are a more traditional design but also look good and Ampere again gave good charging figures.

Not being colour coded they are more difficult to keep track of and I'm down to only 4 already.

Managed to hunt down the one cable free for me to use.

When it comes to phone charging I only trust cables/charges that are made by the manufacturer.

I bought a few weeks ago a three pack of Apple charging cables as one that came with the phone packed up. Was around £10 for them on Amazon. About a metre long so longer than the Apple one.

When I was in TukCom buying a newer IPhone last year I spotted these lighted charge cables and picked up a couple - I've had one going almost full-time for over a year now and it's just as bright as ever - they make a  good nightlight both at home and in hotel rooms and condos:

Having an almost 30C drop in about 8 hours here, 90km/h gusts too, first power outage in many years…..enjoying the quiet honestly….Crews will have much work to do, but sun comes up in 10 hours anyway….

Still weird seeing total darkness with just few candles burning……half expect Michael Myers to jump out from a closet!
