  1. How about the guys that spend all day in front of a computer ignoring their wives, is she going off to see the Thai Husband whilst the MOG's (Miserable Old Gits) are busy slagging Thais and Thailand off on anonymous internet forums ?

    Nonsense.

    She's off to see Buddha at the wat.

    Normally Wat Pok Daeng (excuse spelling).

  2. Khao Mun Gai shop on Rat U Thid road in Patong opposite the main SCB bank still the best. Another on the road from Kathu to Lotus just after the 90 degree bend on the left as you travel towards Kathu also good. It is all about the sauce and the soup - yummy.

    I am a definite lover of this food and any other suggestions much appreciated.

  3. Thanks Mario but is there a requirement to actually contact the parents and I am also hearing about some form of "physcological" testing required for the granmother concerned. She is trying to organise this testing but apparently the earliest appointment is in August and this was told over 3 months ago - seems a bit strange to me.

  4. Can anyone enlighten me here. A Thai grandmother I know is trying to adopt her own grandson who has been effectively abandoned by the parents and into her care. She has been looking after the boy for some 4 years now with no contact from his parents. She is not married but has some income from rental property left her by previous boyfriend who died. Can she legally adopt the boy without consent fron the boys parents?

  5. My "estate" has 42 houses - 12 are either up for sale or rent. We usually get a lot go up for rent through the low season but never seen it like this before and we bought off the plan quite a few years ago.

  6. Quick question here. How does it appply to kids born overseas and one parent is not an Aussie? Just interested as we have a 2 year old and another on the way and never thought this would apply to us.

    You won't be eligible unless you return to live in Australia within 28 weeks of the child's birth.

    Oh well not much chance of that - thanks anyway.

  7. Lose face are for thai but..he is not Thai, he looks more than Nepali or Burmese.

    I'm going there with my girfriend, and the one who told me to be careful is a good friend from burma who works in a bucket in KSR....that's why I don't know what to do.

    Maybe I will go there alone and not let the police go with me, but if he says no...and run away, then what ? I don't want to start a fight in the street 10 vs 1

    How on earth do you work in a bucket??

  8. Just to be clear, there are three different methods that I know of:

    1 - lay insulation on the floor of the roof void (common but not cheap).

    2 - spray an expansive mix against the inside of the roof tiles (less common but most effective)

    3 - shoot insulation into the roof void (never heard of that in Thailand, only in the UK).

    1. used to be ~80 Baht/m², if properly installed quite effective.

    2. spraying tiles not effective at all. it will only delay but not prevent that the attic heats up and heat is transferred to the rooms below.

    3. best choice but unfortunately...

    4. a must is ventilation of the attic!

    Hey Naam would there be any advantage in insulating the roof in the attic in an area above a particular room/rooms only?
