  1. Body weight and the weighing of a child is quite a significant and essential element when prescribing any medication for a minor

    I for one would be happier to knowing the doctor has as much information as possible so as to prescribe the correct dosage for the childs body mass, age etc .....I think it would be remiss of any parent OR Doctor to neglect their duty of care .

  2. We don't use any of these guys and have no problems with pests either, apart from a termite invasion in the kitchen floor just after we moved in over a year ago.

    For termites we found some baiting poison, poisoned wood that they take home to feed the family. Kills only the termites and lets other insects live.

    sent from my Android phone

    You couldn't tell me where you bought the bait poison from and it's name cheers
  3. Hello All.

    I am going to cancel my monthly termite & bugs spray contract ( not happy with their workmanship) and I am going to hopefully with your help and advice start doing it myself.

    So questions ...what is the best poison to use and where to buy it? ( I have a dog so animal friendly if there is such a thing) and any useful advice would also be appreciated.

    Thank in advance wai.gif .

    Mods:- I don't know if this is the best place to post please feel free to move to the best forum cheers.

    "We're on our second one, and may change again. Hard to find a quality one. We highly suspect the first one was not using chemicals...as bugs were still living on our plants the day after they sprayed. I sprayed it myself with some stuff I got from the weekend market and all the bugs were all dead the next day. After a few months of this, we let them go.

    I also don't like these 12 month contracts. The next time, I'm going to only do 3 months and tell them if they do a good job, I'll sign up for more. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with that."

    Much the same story with me too bah.gif ..can you remember the name of the stuff you got from the weekend market? I might invest in a pressure sprayer and start do it my self . cheers

  5. Hello All !.

    I want to changed the pest control company that I am presently using ( not that impressed)

    I want then to come monthly to spray the inside and outside areas and every 6 months too pressure spray under my house using the spray system which is pre fitted.

    Any personal recommendations and pricing would be appreciated

  6. Maybe banglay means buy a 5 million Baht house in a development?

    There, all the houses will be the same price.

    yes KarenBravo you are correct in that assumption clap2.gif...

    The same applies to the UK you live on a poor inner city council estate and the odds are you'll get the less salubrious types as neighbours buy a high end home in the suburbs and you'll hopefully get a better more educated neighbour .

    Before people complain I was brought up and raised on a poor inner city estate and through hard work I moved to the suburbs ......I know which I prefer and it ain't the inner city location

    "Live in a jungle and you'll get animals as neighbour"

  7. I had two long time relationships in the UK the first marriage producing 2 great kid (lasting13 yrs) the second long term partner (12yrs no kids ) both with properties in join names ...I thought both relationship were going to live the test of time ...I was WRONG!...even with the laws in the UK I had to fright to get a fair deal.One of the splits started off amicable and by mutual consent but once the assets started to get assessed it became a bloody battle to get my 50% ..So with my experience and with all the good intentions in the world not every relationship is going to work (THAT IS A FACT).

    And when money is involved it can and does get dirty ..Thai women are no different from any other woman on this planet ....I would protect my/yourself to the best your abilities using lots of common sense and Thailand Law .

    A quote :- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ..........( how right is that )

  8. not all water comes from the same source so you cannot really ask this question generally, some are on the city water supply some condo's get water delivered in tankers for various sources so there is no general answer

    As mentioned boiling water kills "most" bacteria/organisims but bacteria may not be everything you need to remove, I have a filter system attached to my tap, it has 3x main filters and UV and costs around 5k baht, bottled water costs say 100baht per week so will take a year or so to break even depending on household size

    ฿100 a week do you bath in it? wink.png

  9. Did mine 2 days ago

    A completed TM 7 form and one passport sized photo.

    Copies of :- the main page of your passport. A copy of every out of date Thai Visa stamp in your passport.copy of your departure card ,proof of address (I used my blue house book) A letter from your bank and/or a letter from your consulate to prove you have a income which totals ฿800.000.and a copies of your bank book pages to show you've had the funds in for 3 months prior to applying for visa

    Oh and ฿1900 fee ..

    This is what I used in and out in twenty minutes and picked up my passport the next day. no problem

  10. Hi All!...

    I am going to Re-grout my swimming pool myself 9m * 3m * 1.5 m ( that way I know I'll get the finish I want).

    Any tips & advice will be appreciated . Re:- best way to remove old grouting ..recommendation for a quality replacement grout ,best time of year to start the project .....and how long to leave the grouting to cure before refilling with water.

    I thank you in advice

    Cheers

  11. In the Bangkok Sky train when people block my way to the Exit I say " ka toht krap" because I talking to more than one person.

    In a shop I say "Pee Kap...."

    "Ka toht khurp " I am told actually means "Excuse me" so you are being polite when someone is in your way................... good on you matey clap2.gif good manners don't cost you a penny/stang

  12. My G/F and her friends and work colleagues all prefix a females name with pee out of "age" respect ...so the youngest in any given group has to pee everybody older than herself and the eldest just says there name without using Pee...so nong is not used at all within her circle of friends/colleagues .I find it funny that when ever anyone new joins as a friend or a work colleague one of the first questions that is asked is "How old are you" .'

    It seen to be used more in the higher social structured part of Thai life/society. i.e ( professional /government ect)

  13. I have noticed that when there's no Frogs, Gecko's or lizards in my garden there's usually a snake or 2 lurking around somewhere...in the last 4 year I've removed (never too return) ...................1 King Cobra. 1 Spectacled Cobra, 6 Malayan Pit Viper, 2 Green Pit viper., 4 baby Pythons and I've lost count of the Golden tree snakes ..

    I am afraid it's just a fact of life living in Thailand
