A regular thai meal I get (which is reasonably spicy) always comes with a little packet of extra chilli.
Today I added that chilli.

Hi, I need to visit a dentist soon to check for an operation.

I've been doing a bit of research on escooters in Thailand. Specifically in Bangkok and wonder how likely it will be to ride or see others ride daily and for what reason. Would you ride for daily commutes? Just for fun? Or just not at all?

Me and my wife are going to bangkok for the first time next week. Was looking for a local guide to spend the day with us and help us navigate the city and show us around. I found an app called withlocals which was super expensive (220 euros for 1 day). Can you recommend a cheaper alternative?
I've got some persistent pains that have been bothering me for years. I've never tried acupuncture, but I'm interested in giving it a try. Would prefer someone with good English skills so I can accurately describe my problem. Any recommendations?
A friend is passing through town and needs to store his car for a few weeks. He's looking for a safe spot to park it.
He's also planning on driving the car through many countries with some rough terrain. He wants to upgrade tyres and other accessories.
No comments needed on feasibility. He's doing it and already has a plan for the entire journey thanks.
TIA

Hello ya’ll. Will be arriving today into BKK and have a few questions in regard to taking the public metro between the airport and city. As shown in the picture it looks like I’ll need to take two lines, will I need to buy two different tickets (one for each train line)? Also, I’ll be traveling with one heavy suitcase so are there elevators or escalators available at the stations to avoid hauling my large back up and down stairs? Is there a transportation card that I could buy to allow me to use the public metro in Bangkok or is it better off to buy individually. Lastly, how does the public bus work within the city and does one pay for the fare onboard? Thanks.

How is your pm2.5 level inside when the level outside is high?
Right now outdoor airpolution is not great today. the AQI is 112 and the pm2.5 is 37.
Inside my room pm2.5 varies from 25 to 33, is this normal?
This building has central ac with proper duct work with a chiller on the roof. The problem is I assume it is constantly taking the polluted air from the outside and bringing it in.
I added an air purifier and if I turn off the aircon I can get the pm2.5 levels down to < 8 however as soon as the aircon is on pm2.5 rises again.
Are building aircon systems supposed to filter the air they bring in? Is this normal? I see a lot or people mentioning to stay inside when the air outside is bad but aircon just brings it inside as well. How do you deal with the situation?

Intermediate player here. Looking for regular pool leagues in Bangkok, by city center. Friendly but serious competition, don’t know my Fargo but I’m guessing low 600s.
I'm contemplating renting an office with Spaces and they are requesting 2 months of deposit and 1 month of advanced rental. Assuming I were to sign the contract to commence on the 1st of January 2025, when is the next time I have to make the rental payment again? Would it be the 1st of February or the 1st of March?
I need to send a parcel to Canada urgently. I was planning to use Thailand Post's EMS service, but due to the postal strike in Canada, that’s not possible.
Is it still possible to send it with FedEx, DHL, or Fastship?

Thank you very much, and have a great day, everyone!

Looking for a well recommended vet for cats.
We’ve been frustrated that each vet we go to - and anything “specialist” isn’t available and we need to wait a week or two weeks until the ultrasound specialist or the cat specialist is in.
Any recommendations for a top notch vet where all this is in-house as a regular service?
