You should keep a cat.
The cat will roll on your grave and look after you. Your doggies at best will pee on your gravestone.



Heartbroken cat misses her dead owner so much she has spent a year living on her GRAVE in Indonesia

Seems they cannot live without sugar. Like you whenever I order any food especially from their tzechar stalls or any restaurants I'll specifically tell them no sugar. You see even their curries are sweet and thats the flavour they like. I've cooked for my Thai friends our style of curry they will ask me for sugar, I at first felt not happy but then its just them their preference of their habit.

A new research, 9 year long, has undeniable proof that sugar help cancer to thrive.

It is way more than just getting obese. I wonder if the Thais will know about it and view it seriously. Processed Sugar ( not refer to natural sugar) is generally a toxic. Most sugar condiment ( krueang Proong) on the food dining table are processed sugar. This, of course, include those sugared drinks too and the sugar that is added on most Thai cookings.

Krueang Proong (condiments)

This condiments, I would say are psychological; that you can add intensely BUT cannot complain the cooking.

It's likely any visitors to Thailand have seen or even ate at a Chai See stall. Chai See ชายสี่ (ชาย4) is the biggest Baa Mee Giow franchise in Thailand (not that aroi but eatable, in my opinion).

The standard of this franchise varies. Some stalls really CMI. So far, this is one of the few Chai See stall that still worth eating.

Chai See stall


THB 40 - Baa Mee Haeng (Dry noodle) - This is not piset, I sort of regular here so Khun Paa (Auntie) give more moo daeng and vege.

Fino change engine oil at regular motosai repair shop. 120 baht. No fix schedule for changing, change everytime feel engine sound have 'something wrong'.

That would be a bit too late if you ask me. The time to change engine oil is "before something goes wrong from lack of lubrication".

Spotted this mobile gas stand on a country trunk road, between H Hin and Kaeng Krachan (national park). Saw 1 motorcyclist putting thb10 (@thb35/litre), enough to get going.
