A lot of them get commissions.  That's why they often go up to the register with you and scan their company badge.

I would say throwing buckets of water or spraying motorbikes with a hose can be quite dangerous.  I've seen some get doused with large amounts of water.

A lot of Thai bank debit cards are blocked for international payments by default nowadays.  You have to go into the bank app and change it.

Could that be the problem?

Chombueng, Ratchaburi.  About an hours drive to the Myanmar border though.  Immigration office in Ratchaburi is 90% for Burmese.

I eliminated all 'added' sugar, and don't even put it in my bread.   Knowing I get plenty with my pastries or ice cream.  I prefer a little honey as a sweetener anyway.

Allulose is a natural sugar that our bodies can't break down.  It's a lot more expensive than cane sugar though.  Not quite as sweet as cane sugar either, about 70% as sweet.

There is also Monk fruit sugar, expensive too.

You can find both on lazada.

I can't go all keto, but was surprised when peeking at what is Keto-ish foods, and most I like and are available.  List of for me, as I omitted the one's I don't eat, or not really available in TH, or where I live.

You might want to take fish sauce off that list.  I started looking at labels for fish sauce.  The lowest I found was 1% sugar.   All the way up to 6% sugar.

 

I just try to avoid sugar, rice, bread, potatoes as much as possible.  Also Sriracha sauce is like 17% sugar. Try not to eat highly processed foods.

[One of the most epic crash videos I've seen so far]

What's amazing is when the big rig went across the median no hit him on the other side.

 

I've had people driving like that around me.  I swear 4-5 times they missed hitting me by about 5cm or less.  Fortunately it is a small percentage of drivers that drive like that otherwise the death tolls here would be astronomical.
