  1. The video is in this article- as shown in the pics above, they had no warning at all: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/hungarian-couple-injured-due-to-hole-on-chiang-mai-road
  2. The new PetPaw shop (which I believe is related to the new CMU animal hospital next door) is pretty good- it's on the Middle Ring Road not far from the Super Highway. https://maps.app.goo.gl/TLcwWtgV8k2RHenA8?g_st=ic
  3. At least the chick who cut it was pretty hot...
  4. I grew this plant (and several others) using a cheap 1000W light from Lazada:
  5. Yup- they even have a separate waiting room for 'exotic' animals (basically anything other than a dog or cat).
  6. Shopee is way better than Lazada as far as selection goes- simpler is usually better as they're easier to clean. The usual words you'd use to search for them may not work, but you can enter 'แก้วน้ําเก็บความเย็น' (it translates to 'cold water glass') which will come up with things like insulated cups as well as what your looking for.
  7. Thank you- I'm going to try one out.
  8. Can you post the specific type of NIR devices you're using, please?
  9. He was drunk, stopped to take a whiz, and fell over the barrier, falling 40 meters. Hey, we've all been there.????
  10. BBC article on the discovery of Nong Pong's body- I don't think anyone expected this to end on a positive note: https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/woramet-ben-taota-girl-lured-death-thailand-body-found/
  11. Yup- I grow a couple plants at a time indoors, and I don't want to spend weeks/months (depending on how long I let it veg and how long it takes to show whether it's male or female) wasting resources/nutrients only to find out it's a male. Occasionally, a supplement shop will toss a few free 'mystery' seeds into an order, and I'll just give them away to someone who doesn't mind taking a chance. You can get a feminized seed from a good source for ~200 baht (maybe less, though definitely more depending on the strain), or a clone for ~400 baht (maybe less these days as there are several places selling them) where you know you're going to get a female.
  12. When I looked at the Kham Thiang Market a month ago, all I saw were CBD (as opposed to THC) strains. You're also taking a chance buying a young plant grown from a non-feminized seed (as some of the sellers may have done) before it flowers as you might get a male. Better to buy seeds or clones from a legit source, imho.
  13. It hasn't gotten any better (I was there a couple months before the closure)- walking to the edge near the outside stairwell feels like you're tempting the floor to open up and drop you a couple stories.;)
  14. It kinda did in some spots even before then- the old ice skating rink upstairs past the bowling alley would have made a good post-apocalyptic setting.
  15. Contacting Johnson Fitness or Irontec might be helpful- they sell treadmills (though maybe not your brand) and no doubt set up and maintain them, or at least can make a tech recommendation.
  16. If you can't source one locally, if 750 baht for a model capable of handling 500w is a decent price, there's one on Lazada from a shop in Samui Prakan with a delivery estimate to Chiang Mai of Jan 22nd-25th (if ordered today): https://s.lazada.co.th/s.iwXax
  17. With the advent of legal cannabis growing, there are a load of options via the usual suspects like Shopee and Lazada. There are also a few shops at the Kham Thiang Garden Market that make their own special mixes. Bulk will be an issue, though.
  18. These are sold at a LINE shop- no idea of their efficacy: https://shop.line.me/@weedmaster/product/1002998563?utm_source=LS_Share&utm_medium=Storefront-Productend&utm_keyword=79e89ff26fe1c1cd3e4db31d610b65471672566655896
  19. You're gonna have to try The Smithsonian, I'm afraid...;)
  20. They have their own cheese at 'The Hideaway' (kinda behind Lotus HD). I know they have mozzarella and a few others- I wouldn't be surprised if they have Parmesan. https://www.facebook.com/Thehideaway.chiangmai
  21. This is a good example of why it's generally best to stay with your car if you're lost and/or stranded in the wilderness- it's usually the first thing rescuers find.
  22. Yeah, the Kham Thieng plant market has everything- several shops have employees that speak some English as well (though it's always helpful to have someone along to translate). https://www.google.com/maps?q=RX4X+895+Kham+Thiang+Garden+Market,+Tambon+Pa+Tan,+Mueang+Chiang+Mai+District,+Chiang+Mai+50300&ftid=0x30da3ac145ee9135:0x8e970a8523886d2f&hl=en-TH&gl=th&entry=gps&g_ep=CAISBjYuNDQuNBgBINeCAw%3D%3D&g_st=ic&g_st=ic
  23. It would be across the street from JJ, on the Lotus side- Kham Thiang Garden Market.
  24. One major weak link is that every food delivery person (that I've seen) is on a bike- when it's raining like a MF'er and someone on a bike has the choice to say, 'I'm gonna let this one go and wait for the next one,' they're generally gonna do it.
  25. It's the nature of 'gig work'- riders can work when they want to, and (more importantly for them) not work when they don't want to. When conditions are good (say, a nice day in the late-morning after rush hour), there are a hundred riders willing to take the job- when they're <deleted> (like torrential rain and flooded roads) there aren't as many. These riders are on a schedule as well- if their 10-minute ride in good conditions becomes a 20+ minute ride in poor conditions, they get paid the same, so their effective 'salary per hour worked' is halved. Sometimes when it's raining hard, the wife will say, 'Call Grab'- I tell her to wait a bit for the rain to stop, because they probably aren't coming and the order will be cancelled- it's the nature of the process, and I don't get upset about it.
