      Introducing western voodoo, through "christianity", should be avoided at all costs. I guess you would leave out the horrors of the old testament and the killer, venegeful "god' within it or would you like them to get that "message" as well? Buddhism, far more compassion and the reality of life, with no gods, although plenty of mixed in voodoo, NOT part of it's teachings.

    Hi Ryan.Glad you are thinking about demolishing your new property and to do a new build.When i first saw it,it was pretty obvious that the finished floor level was miles too low.Building new will save you a lot of heartache in the future.Good luck.

    "It's a bit Thai style"
    Nailed it.
    Just when I think I'm getting it (Thai style) sussed, something like the discount knocks it back to starting my theory on the given subject again.
    Always humbling and good mental exercise.

    I put my vote in for 7-11 coffee. CJs tend to be a bit sweet no matter how much I tell them to add less sweetener. My village is about four city blocks downtown. One year, we got another 7-11 (now have two), a CJs, and a Hokie Express. All with coffee shops. I mostly still go to Amazon, the large hot cappuccino is 60 baht and is better and cheaper than buying 2 35 or 40 baht small ones at most shops.

    Wow, I'M in Chiang Mai and I'd never heard of CJ Express. Found their website, hopped on it and navigated to their store locator to see the country covered in stores, probably at least a couple of thousand, but the entire North 9 provinces not a single store......seems bizarre.

    I gave up coffee 3 years ago, never felt better. I had a hot chocolate at Heathrow before travelling to Thailand last week and it obviously had caffeine in it, I thought I was going to have a heart attack my heart was racing so much. I couldn't sleep for the 11 hour flight either 😂 It's good to get off it if you can.

    Kinda scammy on the discount thing. Gas stations do the same thing here in California. Nothing is priced so when you get to the counter and find it more expensive than you expected, some people are to embarrassed to say no and purchase it anyway.

    CJs is great, one not far from me. They have promotions and put a stall outside with loud speakers. Look for the yellow labels, sometimes it’s buy 1 get 1 free. Washing detergent, fabric softener and nappies is what I look out for. Fruit juice also is a bargain. Beers are average nothing special.

    I sank into the bottom of your words, like cream drifts into coffee. A slow swirl, a devoted Sufi spinning, word for word, down...down...down. I laid there in the bottom of the cup, the warmth wrapped around me, caffeinated blanket. Stir me with the demitasse spoon, till I am deemed sweet enough, and you have drank every last drop. Including Sprite as it's really does taste different everywhere! That's like a fact. Because of certain regulations, you can only put so many sugars and giving body more energy strength too continuing what am I doing...
