  1. I took these about a week ago. It is about 80 metres from our home.

    I love that blanket of cloud laying on the mountain top.smile.png

    For the last month this has been a regular event. I have other photos that are zoomed in but this one gave the overall affect.

  2. Very interesting. I might have to give it a try one of these days....if I can find some Borax. Those little yellow pellet things (in the clear green container) doesn't work too well.

    Yes, thats what I have.

    They are useless. I will find some borax somewhere, I will just have to ask some Thai friends.

    But how do you say Borax in Thai?

    I found this site that sells borax http://www.healthfoodthailand.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=borax&x=7&y=7

  3. I find easiest and safest way is to have the SMS alert, anything moves in or out you get an sms immediately, worth the 20 baht monthly fee for the extra peace of mind.

    My SCB account charges 10 Baht a month. I agree with the above post cover your pin input. Without a pin an ATM account cannot work. Credit card skimmers are totally different. If the credit card is out of your sight then there is a greater likelyhood of a fraud. Restuarants have the greatest vunerablility.

  4. In our village I leave them for the mother inlaw. I put in box and carry to shed. She gets 7 baht per box of long necks. (that is big bottlles). The recyler comes to the village. Money for jam for her. Then after she gets the money she gives my stepdaugter some of it. A good result

  5. Mine was today in Chiang Ria. We drove from Phayao and shopped in Central. We then went to Makro. Shopping from Central locked in car. Came out about an hour and a half later and spotted the drivers door of our vehicle wide open. This stupid driver had locked the car but did not realise I had left the drivers door wide open. The end result was that everything in the vehicle was still there. I would like to say how relieved I was. I would also like to say that how honest the other shoppers were. Thankyou to all the shoppers in Makro today.

  6. Check this one out http://www.thaivisa....question-again/ Young one versus oldies with a few trolls thrown in.

    Its too tempting to post on threads like that, and then I keep getting drawn back; its like a road accident, or a nasty toothache...

  7. okay curry it is... for now... !!!!!

    No no,lately, curry threads always get blocked for some reason 40.gif

    Disagree. Most curries have a great follow through. No blockages.

  8. Vegemite is available in Rimping supermarkets. Due to Australia's burgeoning free trade deal with Thailand it is 190 Baht whereas Marmite is 379 baht for a similar sized jar. And we all know which one is best don't we!!

    Vegemite eaters certainly do

    In Chiang Rai TOPS the price was 160 Baht this month. In June I bought it for 144 Baht on special in TOPS in Bangkok. I bought a 220 jar.
