Perhaps my memory is bad, but I feel this year has been a lot less crazy than I remember from before covid. I've been able to go for walks in the morning all the way up to early afternoon without getting wet. I have avoided the main water throwing areas in the afternoon and evening of course. One example is the beer bar complex at the bottom of Soi 8 on Beach Road. I remember that going pretty much 24/7, but in the mornings nothing was happening. Yesterday I walked down Soi 6 at about 11 am and nary a drop of water was thrown.

Does anyone have any experience with going to a government hospital (such as Queen Sirikit near the Pattaya Airport) for a crown. I know that for general medical things, prices are much lower but I'm wondering if I could save money when I get a bridge replaced at some point. The bridge is 3 crowns so can be quite pricey.

Where to park the 800,000 THB?
opporna replied to Hanaguma's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Does anyone have direct experience with using a fixed term deposit for their 800,000 to extend their visa with Udon immigration? I have a friend who says they would not allow such a thing. Thanks in advance. -
Kirkland vitamins on Shopee and Lazada are almost the same price as in the US right now. They used to be much more expensive but have come way down in price.

I started with a dynavap, then got a crafty+. I noticed what was left after using the crafty+ was a lot less 'used' looking than the dynavap. To me you can get the same results, just 'respect the click' more. This means it takes less time using the dynavap as well. If I had known this, I might not have bought the crafty+, though it's nice not having to use a torch/lighter. May I ask where you got your bubbler?

I own a condo in Jomtien. I rented it out to a foreigner a few years ago, and when I went to do the TM30, they refused as I didn't have a work permit. I ended up not renting the place out. Well, I'm thinking about renting again, and as things change all the time, I was wondering if anyone has experience specifically with Jomtien doing TM30s as a foreign owner renting to another foreigner. Is it possible for me to do the TM30 and if so what documents will they require of me? Thanks in advance.

Government public health insurance 750B per month
opporna replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in Insurance in Thailand
After you stop work, you have 6 months to apply to continue. You apply at any Social Security office. -
More details would be appreciated, how did you do this?

Mr. DIY sells only the single flame as far as I know. It has worked great for me for over a month now. Sorry you've had so many torch problems. On the Dynavap, the click is variable in sound, sometimes loud, sometimes soft. The Dynavap definitely has a learning curve which I enjoy. You don't, so maybe one of those more expensive electric ones is best for you.

I'm hoping someone can help point me to good motorized wheelchair for a friend who lost her legs. Something that is good value as well as good quality would be great. Thanks in advance.

It has almost all blue flame. The refills are sold at MR DIY, little bottles for 5 baht. They are available at the Avenue Mr DIY, didn't see those cheap refills at Royal Garden. Other refills are available for a higher price as well (17 baht?), but the 5 baht ones work fine. There is no adapter for anything, the nozzle of the refill thingie goes in the bottom of the torch. Edit: Forgot, here's a Chinese knockoff heater for only 2,000. https://vi.aliexpress.com/i/1005005178875101.html

Mr DIY single flame is 62 baht and refills are 5 baht. Works great.

It was the opposite--more THC was removed causing it to be more unhealthy as it requires you to ingest more tars/etc. I just read it in passing so I don't claim that it's accurate. However sometimes things that make sense, like putting weed smoke through water is better, turn out to be inaccurate.
-
I was looking at bongs because of this thread, and I read that putting the smoke through water actually takes quite a bit of THC out of the smoke so you need to smoke more to get the same high, defeating the purpose. I'm no expert, just reporting something I read.

There are positives and negatives to the 'half' bowl option. It's very good as a way to learn the dynavap. It takes a bit of playing around and research to figure everything out, but not burning and just vaporizing is a very interesting thing at the least. And as you said, can go through a bong. Look on reddit for opinions on the 'half' bowl.
-
The entry-level one I bought link is here, and that's the best price I've seen as well.

Dynavap vaporizers are legal, cheap and good. You can get one for less than 2000 baht.

Hi, I'd like to get a grinder. I assume a metal one will last longer? I see some plastic once for like 40 baht on Lazada, but I'm skeptical so I thought I'd ask for people who have gotten good ones. Thanks in advance.

What's a fair price per hour for online teaching?
opporna replied to Irrumator's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
You missed the point. If an electrician was asked to do plumbing, he most likely would defer to a trained plumber. Just because the electrician says 'I can fit my style to include pipes and such' doesn't mean they have the qualifications to do so. -
Pinto beans available cheapish at the Indian groceries--50 baht for half a kilo I believe.

Here is a picture as requested. However, foreign brands would most likely be prohibitively expensive--I'm wondering about a local, reasonably priced solution. The option of not sealing is possible if they sealant solution is too expensive.

I'm looking for a product to seal grout. There are a couple of archived threads on AseanNow that mention Weber grout sealant, but I haven't been able to locate it anywhere so far. I found one but it seems quite expensive: https://shopee.co.th/เอชจี-เคลือบยาแนว--HG-SUPER-PROTECTOR-FOR-WALL-AND-FLOOR-GROUT--ขนาด-250-มล--i.95049753.2263028219 Any tips on a reasonable alternative would be appreciated.
