Where I live in the US you can buy a "cattle prod" which is basically a long stun gun that does not stun cows. They are about a meter long and very effective against dogs. I don't know if you can get one in thailand. If you modify a stun gun and move the contacts to the end of a stick or plastic pipe I think you would have an effective tool to protect yourself.
Do whatever is necessary because a dog attack can be very brutal and even cause death.
I always found that cheap electronic mosquito zapping bats had more than one use!

The first question I was asked when renewing my license on Wednesday was ''Do you have a yearly visa'' I posted the attached on Wednesday which was given to me by the Land Transport Office. It does not mention tourist visas. Of course this is Thailand and maybe open to interpretation. It is also for a license renewal rather than issuing a new temporary license. May I suggest that before you waste time and money obtaining proof of residency and the medical required for a license that you go to the Land Transport Office on the Hangdong Road, on the left just before Big C leaving town, and go upstairs and ask. They will then tell you yes or no and what The requirements are, you can also get the form to fill in.

The British Consulate now charges 2530B for a ''certificate'', been in there this morning

If this has been mentioned before my apologies:
Just met Dr. Sudhee in the Chiang Mai Ram a couple of hours ago and he informs that he has sold his clinic and that he currently works through the Ram a couple of days a week. (Mondays & Thursday?) and that this is him on the run down towards complete retirement.
-
I got the attached from the road transport office the other day, she ringed the requirements.

Drove up from Ubon yesterday and there is hardly 0.5B difference across that region. You might find it costs slightly more on the highway to Lampang just leaving town. More a case of which brand your prefer or trust.

I find a quick, cheap and easy way is to simply use a hand towel from home
You can use it dry or if the mood takes you, wander into a 7/11 or Mom and Pop shop and but a small bottle of cold water.
Drink some water and pour the rest over the towel. It is also handy when walking around.
People laugh at me as I look stupid but I am the one who is cool.
That was my usual method (or a folded sarong) but I was looking for something a bit handier. I still pour the water over myself before I start to ride. The evaporation is almost chilling!
Have you tried a cooling vest or a cooling neck wrap?
Cooling Vests are becoming
the must have item for summer or whenever heat stress is an
issue.
Retail Price from $220.00
Will stay cold for up to 2 hours.
Total about 6,380 baht plus postage.
Towel 50 baht. cold water 6 baht. More cold water 6 baht.
Ebay from 40$, Joe Rockets available from $30, most expensive from Ebay $119 for up to 8 hours. God knows where you get your information from.

The bit about no more accidents clinched it............April the 1st.............. You could have suggested cars change on one day and trucks and buses the next..................

I have had a few things shipped in recently from Europe and Hong kong/China, mostly from Ebay. These are one offs for personal use. Everything that was under (about)150USD had no import duty attached. Only one item that was around 175USD attracted any import tax.
How much did you pay for the item that was 175? Im thinking about importing some clothes and sports nutrition that I cant find in thailand.
About 1500B

Yes thank you, close enough. See you Friday week.

Good to see it is back. Can you pass along the name of the school, (just like to know where I am going) and what age group is at the school. Ta.

Just checked, the government are considering a proposal to ban the new registration of LPG vehicles. To discourage its use they are also increasing the price. They apparently want people to move to CNG instead.
-
But didn't I read the other day (in an unmentionable paper) that due to the number of accidents and the shortage of LPG that they would no longer permit any new cars from using it?

Before people get too carried away, the other side of the story

And the Hangdong Relief road that has been rumoured for years.
The 'Relief Road' is actually the dual carriageway extension of Canal Road and it is being constructed at it's Southern most end at the moment, but I would think it will be some time before the project is completed as progress seems incredibly slow.
Nope not that one, the one that went around Wang Tan (area) that raised its head about 6 (?) years ago.

Try using a battery optimiser/maintainer whilst you are away. These are designed to supply a small amount of current but designed to be left connected for extended periods of time. You can check the names Optimate or Ctek and find out their capabilities. The Ctek 0.8 Amp version is available in town and I would think this would be large enough for your needs.

I will agree with the others on Sudhee after he carried out 2 spine operations allowing me to walk and work again. It took him 5 minutes to spot the problem on Scans and X-rays that I had been carrying around for 4 months trying to find answers. The last time I went to his clinic his consultation fee was 500B. If I remember correctly, he opens 3 evenings a week from around 1700 and Sunday mornings. Get there early or take a book, he gets busy!

Dr. Sudhee has sold his clinic. He has reduced his work to 2 days a week at the Ram, this before complete retirement.
