I have a workshop full of tools and have used almost every brand I can find.

Here is my two satang,

#2 Bosch

why is this still legal and why the dog lovers don't try to save cocks too ?

Do you actually think making it "illegal" would stop anyone in Thailand from doing it?  

A friend of mine was doing his 14 days and he had a female staff member take a pack of bottled drinking water and filled several of the bottles with vodka and repacked them to make it look un opened.  They delivered it with snacks and stuff.  Seems it worked fine for them, but not sure what they were risking by doing that.  

@ aussieexpat and his comment above,  

You're only allowed one liter if it's duty free (no tax).  You can bring in more if you pay the tax on it.  I have friends who bring in expensive wine and spirits and as long as they declare them and pay the tax they can bring in more than 1L.  

My slow cooker is the only way I will cook beef brisket or beef shanks and they turn out so amazing.  I'll get a pan with oil super hot and brown both sides of the meat and then put it in with either soup stock or water, add a can of beer or some red wine and veg or potatoes.  Sometimes I use the meat in burritos or on sandwiches.  

It also works great at parties, you can leave a cheese dip or chili or something in it and it will stay warm.  

I never ever use it on high, only on low setting.

Thank you to those who suggested an air fryer.  I've never used one and now I'm going to give it a try.  

Two people have already mentioned the thermal compound inside the laptop.  I agree it makes a huge difference.
 

I have had two laptops with overheating problems recently.  The guy I took it to said he had to check where the heat was coming from, the CPU or the hard drive.  In one laptop I installed a much newer hard drive and the thing hardly gets warm now.  The other we just had the computer guy go through it and put new thermal compound and clean very well. 

I only have 2 amusing stories to share,  I haven't golfed in years.

1),  When I first came here I went golfing with a business owner sleaze bag and he told me if my caddy tickles the inside of my palm while handing me my club or ball it means she wants to go have a <deleted> in the bushes.  I laughed it off and then during the 18 holes this guy was all over the 4 caddies like he was in a gogo bar.  He was the one with tickle hands.  The girls mostly laughed it off too but he was 100% focused on trying to get any one of them to go for a romp in the weeds.  I wonder how often they have to put up with this.   I later shared this story with my wife and we both still give a tickle on the other's palm if we're feeling frisky, usually more as a joke, in funny situations.   

2),  I was with a group and all three of them were off in the weeds looking for a ball behind the green.  I was on the green with all 4 caddies who had putters ready.  One caddie dropped the ball and one hand putted it at least 10 meters into the cup.  A second caddie dropped a ball and also one hand putted a very long putt right into the cup.  I looked at them like, <deleted>? and they simply said, "We're here everyday".  

Best,

You don't like bucket drinks, so no one else should like them either??  

I don't think you're wasting your time in Pattaya.  I think most TV members just talk bad about Pattaya any chance they get.

I also don't think Global house or Thaiwatsadu are going to build anything for you.

Here are some suggestions for you,

Euro Design Furniture:  https://www.euro-design-furniture.com/en/  (probably on the higher end)
Shadow Maker:  https://www.shadowmakerasia.com/  (I know they specialize in another product, but they are very skilled, smart and do other projects)

Sakkarin Furniture:  090-962-6706

Alpha Design and Construction:  http://alphathai.com/

Lots of other good, smart, quality people and businesses in Pattaya.  Just have to get off the bar stool once in a while to find them.  

Let us know how it goes.

I closed all windows, doors and fans in my son's room and let it sit for 2 hours.  I took a thermocouple reading at the floor, it was 32 degrees.  I held the thermocouple up to the ceiling and it also read 32 degrees.
Also, if the air is so much hotter at the ceiling, why would we use ceiling fans?  Just to blow hot air down on us?

WOW!!! You built those beds? Nice work. You should do it professionally.

Thank you very much.  I do work in manufacturing and while I love to design and build stuff I have zero sales and marketing skills.

I found that he top bunk would get too hot unless you have a/c.

 

No amount of fans would keep the top bunk cool enough to be used in the hot weather.

 

Of course depends on the layout of your room and height of ceiling, but something to keep in mind when considering bunk beds.

Ridiculous...  The air at the top of a room isn't any hotter than at the bottom...  Okay, maybe 0.01 degrees, but even a small fan can circulate the air enough so the whole room is the same temp.  If what you say is true, any two story house with bedrooms upstairs would be too hot to sleep in.  
While studying for my Mechanical Engineering degree I took two semesters of Thermodynamics, then took Heat and Mass transfer, then fluid dynamics...   Plus I have two bunk beds in my house so I'm pretty confident about this.   

True story, I learned to drive a manual car in an arcade.  A lot of video games are pretty realistic this way.  There was a sit down driving game where you could choose manual transmission and after 2 or 3 games I learned how to ease out the clutch while applying gas and getting through the gears.  First time in a real car was no different. 
Haven't been to an arcade in ages but I assume you could find a sit down motorcycle game with a manual option.  

I went to stock up yesterday (Mar 26) on a few items at Makro around 8pm.  There was no panic.  Plenty of meat and eggs available but instant noodles were gone. 
Orange juice price was 25% higher than before.
No more or fewer people than normal.   
One thing I found interesting is that all the non-food/soap items had been roped off and a sign saying the government told them they can't sell that stuff.  Stuff like freezers, blenders, pots and pans, etc.
