Unfortunately it's that time of year again. Time to turn on my air purifier.

I suspect the reason for no cheese dates back to September when the authorities started clamping down on places that would sell food products that were packaged in non-FDA approved facilities. Siamburi’s had to temporarily close for that reason. The cheese they were selling was bought in bulk and then repackaged into smaller packages for sale, thus the reason the Thai FDA got involved.

A few selected stills from the drone video of Mabprachan.

A few weeks ago Mabprachan was looking low for this time of year, the end of rainy season. Today levels looked normal for this time of year.

I have my own story tell about an incompetent swim teacher, but one that ended up listening to reason. A few years later after I ended my teenage career as a swim instructor the roles were reversed and I was the one in the pool with my 6 month old. I was gobsmacked when the instructor told the parents he wanted them to pass their babies back and forth with the stranger next to them. I told my wife, no way we're doing that, the babies are going to go in full panic mode when they're handed off to a stranger. We then quietly moved to the side of the pool and started doing what I used to teac

I'm puzzled as to why you disagree as what I taught for drownproofing was for situations unlike the one you described. And even in the case of falling into water with a current, if you fell out of a boat you'll have time to turn around and grab the boat before drifting away. Just as we learn to crawl before we walk, teaching basic drownproofing skills is step 1 on the path of learning to swim.

Big yes on that. I used to teach swimming from 6 months up to adults. From 6 months to 2 years it was about the children, and their parents being comfortable in the water. 2 years on up the first lesson was on drownproofing. All that entailed was to teach the toddler if he/she fell into the water to immediately turn around and grab whatever it was they fell out of or off of.

I can see that as well, after all the red dot in the middle of an orange disc is just screaming "hit me". Motorists are annoyed enough with bicyclists, don't see why one would want to annoy them more by sticking a horizontal pole on their bike. Until now I never saw this type of thing in my years of riding here and in the US. I would never put that type of pole on my bike as it would hinder my ability to maneuver past stalled or slow moving traffic. I would also be annoyed if I was stuck in traffic behind that guy that had to stop because the silly pole sticking out prevents him fr

If you're on two wheels, keep an eye out on Soi 15 for the major cracks and holes in the concrete that was put down only a few months ago. I'm not so sure this guy's idea of a safety feature for his bike is a good idea. I understand he probably thinks its a good warning device for passing traffic to steer clear of him, but he's also increasing the chance a passing vehicle will hit him via the pole sticking out into their lane.

I caught the drone bug back in June and purchased my first drone, the Potensic ATOM during my trip back to the States. For those interested in an entry level drone, the ATOM is a great drone that sells for around $380 USD. A few C&P posts about my experience flying the ATOM. June 28 Had fun flying my new Potensic Atom drone today. I've never flown a drone before, so let my son give me a quick demo flight with him at the controls on how it works. Much faster and easier learning to pilot a drone having him doing a demo flight first. After that quick demo I did a couple of prac

For those interested, I resurrected the drone topic below with a reply.

I had the drone out for a couple of training/test flights this morning. It was a breezy morning and I was impressed with how stable the drone was, even at 50m high. I did notice though on reviewing the video the pan shots were a bit jerky in spots, probably because of the drone moving slightly to compensate for a wind gust. Another feature I tested out was focus track using both the POI auto follow me mode and tracking using a predescribed flight path around the object of interest. Again the onboard collision avoidance system worked great. The only negative I would give it is the bak

I'll C&P a couple of other posts I made on another forum on the subject of drones. Thought I'd add to this topic with my own experience as a new drone pilot. Back in May I bought my first drone, the Potensic ATOM. At only $380 USD it's a great entry level drone with some cool subject tracking features. What it lacks though is any kind of collision avoidance system which I really could have used about a month ago when I backed the drone into a tree branch. Fortunately the drone survived the fall to earth largely unscathed. What did get damaged though is the underside sensor

Found an already existing topic to post a reply to your question in. And the answer is yes, you are supposed to have insurance and register your drone to legally fly in Thailand. Many don't, but I decided to get legal. This is a C&P of a post I made last Monday (28 Oct) on another forum. Drone insurance now sorted. Took about an hour to scan, complete, sign and scan again signed copies of the following. 1. Provide a clear photo of the drone and a photograph of the drone's serial number. 2. Provide photos of remote control and serial number. 3. The drone's receipt 4. Attach a s
