  1. I think that you are probably confusing them with whitefly larvae that you find on the underside of leaves or aphids that you tend to find on stems.
  2. My most recent will was done by a lawyer and although very simple, cost 6,000 Baht. My previous will (about 12/14 years ago) was done at the Amphur and cost 100 Baht, simple and quick. The fellow in the Amphur office actually drew up the will according to my instructions. The important thing is that i had to give my instructions in Thai as he wanted to be absolutely sure that I completely understood what I was signing. I think that you will find that different amphurs and different officers may have different requirements, so it is best to visit your local amphur to enquire.
  3. Somebody could be walking and fall down a sinkhole. Could have been in a car and sunk in the water and drowned!
  4. Very rarely, I read a report where someone walks away relatively unscathed from a bad crash and the credit their "miraculous escape" to some amulet or similar. I've yet to see a single report where they state that somebody died in an accident despite having amulets in the vehicle. This suggests that survival is just a matter of chance and nothing to do with any amulets! However, the vast majority of vehicles in Thailand have amulets and monks' daubing. In other countries, hardly any vehicles have such "protection", yet there are much fewer road deaths than in Thailand! So, statistically, this means that if you have a magical amulet in your vehicle, you are more likely to die than if you don't!
  5. Usually at no cost? I would think that they are rarely issued for free. I got one this year and 2 years ago at Khon Kaen and both times they cost 500 Baht each! No receipt - of course!
  6. You didn't have to enter your pin number?
  7. Are you referring to the owner? The owner is a woman. I don't know why but it always seems worse to me when these young girls are exploited by females.
  8. It may have been a good idea to show the finished hairstyle. That just looks odd and does not resemble a forest fire at all!
  9. There are always going to be problems in holiday destinations unfortunately. Fortunately, there are few really serious incidents. Considering the huge number of visitors to Thailand the incidents are relatively few and so i see no reason to trat all foreigners like criminals.
  10. The victim is not the owner of the shop. She owns the shop next door to the coffee shop where the incident occurred.
  11. His user name is Zioner. Are you suggesting that there is something racist about that? Please explain how. An article that does not refer to a Brit at all, yet you have to show your discrimination against Brits once again.
  12. I am amazed that they still have rice in storage after 10 years! I wonder what the average storage cost per Kg of rice works out at. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they won't recover the storage costs!
  13. I am not in Bangkok, but every day I see parked vehicles left with engines running. Numerous people who do not switch off their engines when buying stuff from roadside stalls. Add in the ridiculously long unnecessary waits at red lights with engines running, that is a lot of pollution that could be avoided. I am guessing that it is much the same in Bangkok.
  14. I wouldn't say that nam prik is a paste. It is usually a condiment with fish sauce, chili, garlic or shallots. Prik kaeng is a paste. I think customs only classify as either solid or liquid (liquid includes gels). So I think that it will definitely be classified as a liquid if it is a paste.
  15. He is a Thai country singer.
  16. I can make no sense of this topic at all!
  17. On a related note, does anyone know how long a certificate of residence is valid for?
  18. Hooked in pipe!? What does that mean?
  19. Hezbollah do not need to defend themselves against the IDF. IDF retaliates when Hezbollah launches missiles into Israel, If Hezbollah didn't attack Israel, Israel will not defend themselves.
  20. In January, it was announced that local authorities should take action against excessive noise levels from entertainment venues. As per usual, completely ignored!
  21. in my experience, very few people drink beer from a bottle if you exclude foreigners. Most Thais buy large bottles which those "condoms" aren't available for. Most Thai bars, you cannot even buy small bottles.
  22. Who are you suggesting should give it away? Would you give away billions to charity?
  23. Dine and Dash? Where was the dash? Thay refused to pay, they did not run.
  24. I keep seeing this term "Soft Power" recently. To be honest, I have no idea what it means and had to look it up, but still not clear. I just cannot see how these pants can be defined as "soft power"! Can somebody please explain?
