Hot continues, hotter likely

My electric bill generally arrives on the 21st of the month. 

Bill for March through April is 3,500฿ (US$102).  

Don't expect any less during the Month of May. May has been the highest electric use in my home for years. Highest May bill was over 5,000 ฿ some years ago. 

Considering purchasing a solar generated air conditioner and pool pump system. It would pay for itself in three to four years. Unfortunately most warranties only last a year

Papaya Meat Tenderizer

Use papaya (ripe or unripe) on tough cuts of red meat and the enzymes in the fruit will help break down the collagen, leaving you with a tender steak. papaya as a meat tenderizer/ Turns out you can also use the leaves as tenderizer. Adding a bit of vinegar to the papaya paste may speed up the process  I like to preserve most ripe fruit in a few shots of vodka and blend into a  puree and consume as a cocktail.

The Postmaster U.S.A. vs Thailand, who is the real 'MASTER of the POST'

🇺🇸 Mailed a letter to a major bank in U.S.A. It was a check for a $5 tax refund.

•  Listed the street name, but forgot to list the direction like S.W. or N.E. 
• Over a month later the letter was returned to me "ADDRESS DOES NOT EXISTS." 
• the situation could have been resolved by referencing the bank name

🇹🇭 Discovered a photo of an envelope with my name and address in English in online messenger.

• Man did I freak out and immediately requested to know from the sender  the "1. who, and 2. why."
• The reply: 1, postal employee. 2. Unable to translate the English text  address.
• I sent him a photo of the address on a  thai utility bill.  The envelope (income statement for tax purposes) was in my mailbox the next day
