do you mean here -

Daeng Klon Pratou Mahidol

Seems right....?....I first found it & use the Ricoh sign for my landmark & have watched them expand over the years..... It's about a 10 minute walk away from Airport Plaza....

I've only heard it referred to as Daeng's.....

He is supposed to have a 2nd shop somewhere else, but I'm just familiar with this one .... 

Check Daeng's off Mahidol Rd....Turn in at the red & white Ricoh sign....

It's a shop that handles, mods, welds, fabricates, everything automotive....Up to, and including custom built big motorcycles....

They have racks in stock + can order for you...Or build as needed....

It's a great resource once you learn/see all that they do....Most things can be done while you wait...

At least one gal at the desk speaks English as do some head techs....

Not ONE decent punch thrown.....

There's one form available outside under the canopied area.....You have to make copies of your old passport - all pages....My US passport came with a letter to present to immigration asking that they transfer the necessary stamps.....There is a copy place at the back should they need anything else....

I got there close to opening & it still took about 3 hours.....

Whoever did the video work has a huge set of balls.....

And got to keep them....

13 degrees here....After researching online & shopping a few places being shown the +/- by sales staff we went the Pansonic brand....The sales person did point out that if the flow is low the water temp can fluctuate - and it does toward the hot side if I turn down the volume...So far we haven't needed to go beyond 1/2 and still have a nice, warm shower.....Have not had a reason to try a hotter setting....

There was a thread/topic on here a few years back about heaters for use in the mountains with colder temps & that's where I was initially pointed towards the Pansonic recommendations....

Our daughter was up showering & washing her hair early this morning & no yelps from her bathroom.....

Happy "in" the Garden = as in has no trees?

No plowing the furrowed ground - just a taste?

We have a few, All rescues, some do - some don't - some quietly, some loudly.....Even if from the same litter 4 - MMMF purr, 1 doesn't - F..... Don't know why.....

Try the Asia Books app.....

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us
Another start
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive

Where are you now?

Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?
Where are you now?

Atlantis?
Under the sea?
Where are you now?
Another dream....
The monsters running wild inside of me

I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded

These shallow waters, never met
What I needed
I'm letting go
A deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing
Alive

Where are you now?

Money,Money,Money....

To quote Chuck Berry....

Drop the coin right into the slot....

Planning on the US the last 6 months of the year.....

Of course, we also were for the last 2 years.....

....The only certain thing is the uncertainty....

I have no idea how women can move like that.

 

Practice, practice, practice... 

Always have had a car & cannot see an upside to not having one....

I like having the armor around me + the A/C is a must, along with not breathing everyone else's diesel/exhaust fumes, the heat and rain.....

We have 2 cars, an SUV, and a small 4 door sedan....

We do not have a motorcycle, although our uni daughter does....

The only time we hire a taxi is to & from an airport....

The upkeep and operational cost of owning one is minimal compared to the inconvenience of not having one....

I'm not big on trading armor for mobility, either as a driver or passenger (especially as a passenger).....

Typically for me that could happen within a "broad" inner circle (sports competition their wives would too).... Competing over the years kind of earned that comraderie....

In the OP's example it would be an unwanted & unwelcome gesture beyond a handshake.... Especially in a bar/tavern/restaurant scene....

That's before the Covid pandemic changed all the rules.....

One thing that goes along with the looks is the feminine soft feel, aura, & appeal of a Thai woman....

Not to be overlooked/dismissed as weak - they are like ants in that regard = small, but mighty....

I've found Japanese women to be that way also, but to a lesser degree....

The old blame McDonald's b.s.  Take a bike ride out into the mountains or sticks where you will find many, even mostly, overweight people living hours away from any McD, KFC, etc which they couldn't afford anyway.  But they do have coca cola, fanta, and smoothies with incredible amounts of sugar. Plenty of fattening foods to make them look like UK or OZ girls, too. 

Chances are there's a 7/11 within reach.... That's where I'd center the "McDonalds" blame game....Those 5 baht goodies readily available for young kids right up through the now conditioned, almost daily, coffee/coke & snack stop....

The problem with an elevated tank is that most times the mains water pressure is too low to fill the tank.
In my housing estate we have many houses with water tanks at ground level, these tanks rarely fill. 
I have an underground tank, even when the water pressure is just a drip my tank fills overnight. 
 

So it acts as a reservoir...Is it a standard tank that has been buried? Or a cement cistern....

2 Pfizer = booster after 6 months...

Our water supply/system/district has been off for one day a week over the past few weeks & were notified today it will be again tomorrow....

TIT - it's pretty much how it is....We have a tank and it really hasn't been an issue since we installed the pump and tank....

We do have well water so my wife's garden will be attended to....

Want to see an angry Thai wife = accidentally step on one of my wife's plants....
