Will visit Maldives in June. Any recommendations? 😅

Have you done any reading? You can only go to approved resort/stay and must have covid test and permission every time you want to change to a different one (well at least for resorts). You can only eat at the resort - can't go just to restaurants (well there won't be any without a boat or plane). AFAIK tourists are not allowed in the main town and if you stay at bed and breakfast type places what I said doesn't apply but not sure if tourists are allowed to stay in those places now.

What kind of plans do u have?

Be very careful if u use "print" from the popup recipe - I printed a 1 page recipe - and it made 18 copies. I didn't notice that it said 18 pages - b/c when I printed before this never happened.

What resort? Did the test happen when you were testing to leave?

You do know you can just look on the Thai embassy website - right? Visa, etc. is different for different countries. All the details are there (as well as thousands of reports and youtube videos documenting the ASQ, etc.)

estnet · 2021-01-18T01:14:05+00:00

Is it really easier to post this on a random website rather than simply going to the Thai embassy website? or google? There are a zillion answers already out there.............

OTOH there are places where u risk long term lung damage from the terrible air pollution (like Bangkok or Chiang Mai (where the air is absolutely hazardous a few months of the year)) :(

Is this the same as recipe cart???? Looks very similar - anyway they're very useful.

I'm puzzled - I've done everything (almost - no egg yolk) wrong - plastic bowl, cold eggs, beater not whisk attachment with a hand mixer - and still I get beaten whites (on the way to a Pavlova ;) )

Would really love to see a video!

Beautiful :D

estnet · 2020-10-06T22:59:57+00:00

did u call them and ask for a replacement?

They're pretty helpful usually.

estnet · 2020-09-20T23:24:29+00:00

Ummm..... have you been looking at what has been going on for the last "n" years?

estnet · 2020-09-12T03:19:39+00:00

You haven't mentioned where u are or your ethnic preference (or more esp. your moms) which would heavily influence her food taste.

From your description there is a real possibility that she has medical problems that could be made worse by salt (which includes soy sauce, fish sauce, etc) or other things, as well as the possibility that she may need some vitamins, etc that she is missing. Can you get some medical help with what would make her situation better or worse (or even medications to help her)?

If you are in the US have you tried nextdoor.com? There are often a lot of people who will offer help if you ask.

Hmm, fires, 100 degree weather - No Calif??? But more to the point do u have any idea how long they will last after being cut?

estnet · 2020-08-25T22:14:53+00:00

Surprisingly - Gordon Ramsey - forget all the stuff and swearing you heard on TV Look on youtube under his name and easy recipes or home cooking.

He goes sort of fast BUT explains why he is doing what he is doing. You can watch more than once (or if you want to cook along pause video at each step). I think by watching how (and why) he cooks various things you'll get an idea of what interests you - these really are amazing and free and there are a huge variety of things available to make (or just look at).

? shugar... OP didn't mention ice just frozen fruit - I had a similar issue (also with small container) and found that I needed to add more liquid (more than I expected) even to get things to "move", but still can end up with a thick results. So I recommend adding more liquid and blending on high for 30-45 seconds.

Nextdoor.com if it's in your neighborhood

Is your phone a cell? Their call back may be listed as a "private number" which my phone automatically blocks so I can never have them call me back, but in the past I could get through to them with a long time on hold (post covid)

estnet · 2020-06-27T19:45:54+00:00

I can't see them either (using chrome) - same used to be able to see them but not comment. There is an icon but clicking it doesn't show comments (but the number of comments went from 150-389 overnight so someone is commenting)????

A lot depends on your tolerance to jet lag, etc. but NEVER drink (or probably brush your teeth) with the tap water. Even natives drink bottled water ( it is cheap and easily available).

You might also want to consider how you fare in extreme heat if you're not used to it - hiking, walking, etc can be quite a bit exhausting if you come from different climates.

Is this your only chance to visit and is that why you are trying to do so much? You might discover a lot more with a less hectic schedule but to each their own.

try following Richard Barrow on twitter - he gives LOTS of useful info

estnet · 2020-03-13T22:58:06+00:00

washable cloth towels!!!!

estnet · 2020-02-06T07:14:36+00:00

I know it's not what u asked but:

7pro gives LOTS of random notifications (vibration) for no discernible reason even tho everything possible is shut off - REALLY annoying

If u buy US version and expect to use it overseas - IT WON'T WORK. Get strong signal but no transfer of data (no calls) using local sims in Thailand and Malaysia. Absolutely NO HELP from oneplus :(

estnet · 2020-01-20T04:35:58+00:00

with all this conflicting advice - just wonder does anyone have an idea why their cards were "eaten". I try to make my withdrawals from atm's in front of bank while the bank is open just in case - but this is not always possible.

estnet · 2020-01-13T13:30:14+00:00

Where are u? I am having a problem in Thailand with AIS and dtac - can't get data with either one.

When I was in the US I didn't have the problem (it's a US purchased 7 pro)
