  1. A Different sort of Pontiac. 1969 Pontiac Beaumont, made for the Canadian market, it's a Chevelle with a different grill and some bits inside. Mine had a 350ci/350hp stock engine Worst decision I ever made, in 1980 I had the chance to buy a 1969 Camaro factory stock 427CI 4 speed for 8,000 dollars. It still had the dealer stickers in the back window. I said no way and bought a new Harley Davidson Sturgis twin belt.
  2. Was working on the Yadana Pipeline for PTT in 97, getting paid in USD so our money effectively doubled. Was some worry about banks collapsing but our advice was to use the purple bank, I was told it was at that time majority owned by the King and that the country would have to be in flames before that bank would go under. Looking at condos in Pattaya for my boss, Royal Cliff had some amazing fire sale prices Food was cheap, living was cheap, life was good.
  3. The PEA noticed evidence of electricity meter manipulation, with readings showing lower power usage than the actual amount consumed. That's what's illegal
  4. https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/opinion-medicine-use-outside-EU/human/mosquirix Mosquirix is a vaccine that is given to children aged 6 weeks to 17 months to help protect against malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. 25.9% in infants 6–12 weeks of age, and 36.3% efficacy over median 48 months in children 5–17 months of age. Limited in the age range and not that effective in the target group, so useless for the AN crowd
  5. For all those that think the US is delivering cash to a bank account in Ukraine
  6. Since your not capable of using Google but rely on the old, "I'm Republican and I'm outraged", here's a link What Zelensky wears on a day to day basis ranks right up there with Obamas tan suit, but yeah, your outraged https://www.aei.org/op-eds/most-of-the-money-in-the-foreign-aid-bill-would-stay-in-the-u-s/
  7. Longer range ATACMS is what they needed last year, better late than never. Add F 16 to be coming later this summer
  8. 14 meticulously crafted contracts, Said with a straight face
  9. I've done this when I lived in Udon Thani PM level of say 150 outside, very visible Air conditioner has to be set on recirculation mode, not fresh air intake PM level of 5 - 10 driving a Ford WT model, I was quite surprised
  10. You wouldn't drink and drive in Canada, so don't drink and drive in Thailand, or anywhere -Taxis and win moto taxi are dirt cheap and everywhere -you don't want the hassle of thai police at dark thirty and drunk -court cases are expensive as are lawyers, see point one -time in the lock up, this alone should alarm you
  11. Like this temp? Jan 12 Edmonton doing the school run, airport temp was -45.9C I lived with the high temps in Thailand and middle east and honestly I prefer the cold. Not the - 40s, but just winter in general Also the extreme lows like this generally only last a couple of days as opposed to Thailand's weeks or months of 37c or higher
  12. January 6 Insurrection BLM protest There, fixed that for you How any sane person can view the thousands of hours of January 6 and say it was just folks sightseeing is absolutely ludacris
  13. My housekeeper kept all my son's old schoolbooks with the "poor people can use them" When moving house there were about 5 grades of old school books and worksheets, bagged them up and threw them out.
  14. I've used Wise for smaller transfers, something like this I like the security of dealing with real banks. If a mistake is made with some details and it can't be sent it will come back to your sending account automatically. ( ask me how I know this) Having done this from CIBC, and HSBC to Thailand. You'll need your SWIFT ID for your Bangkok Bank account, google it. You'll need your IBAN number, (International Bank Account Number), also from Bangkok Bank, should be on your e-statement Go to your Canadian Bank with these details, don't know about the free amount transfers offered, I'd be skeptical, nothing is 'free' Bank will send in CDN funds and BB will deposit into your account in Thai Baht I would send it all in one go, cheaper than multiple transfers, And make sure you note on the transfer's purpose that it is to be used for a condo purchase, this will help get your FET from Bangkok Bank Buy condo Just FWIW when I sold my condo in Jomtien pre covid sending Bank didn't care about the FET, just the tax paid on the selling amount, supplied by the land office
  15. https://solectrac.com/about/ This is one, can't find a price but it not going to be cheap This Farmall/Case looks more like a real working tractor but again no price https://www.caseih.com/en-us/unitedstates/products/tractors/farmall-series/farmall-electric-tractor#0
  16. Thai driving philosophy If you don't look you won't see If you don't see, there is nothing there
