Drinking water Ph

It's not a scientific test.  I'm using my pool test kit to test drinking water.  Ideally I should be using ph test strips.  These tests should not be that far off.   
Ideal ph levels for drinking water range from 6.5 to 8.5.  The lower number being more acidic and the higher number being more  alkaline.  7 is considered neutral and ideal drinking water.   
The first picture is Sakon Nakhon tap water. The second is drinking water delivered in 5 gallon jugs. The third is Nestle bottled drinking water.  The forth picture is boiled tap water

Facial recognition

  
I am gathering all my photographs onto Picasa and turned on the facial recognition feature.   What I found totally amazing and seriously funny is that the software correctly identified the person behind the mask

Here's an article which finally says things I had only dared to whisper about.


Thailand:  Where are the Russian tourists?
E Turbo Global tourist industry News
Increased numbers of tourists does not mirror increased revenue.  In fact it's doing the opposite. 
Large volumes of package tourists generally don't have the ability to be extravagant spenders.  Package tours tend to be a once in a lifetime event.  Most of their available cash went into paying for the tour package.  Tips are far and few in between. 
Tour agencies arranging tour packages tend to get volume discounts, translating to less money but more work and wear and tear for businesses catering to these tours.  
There's more money to be made from "people of means." They tend to expect more personal service and are willing to pay for it. 

I can speak from experience having worked as a bellhop in two hotels and a country club.  I also worked as assistant manager for a hotel meeting and convention service.  I have worked around and served a few movie stars.  Even was within a few feet of a president.
