Thin ply or hardboard cut to size - where?
OneMoreFarang replied to HauptmannUK's topic in DIY Forum
Option 1: Wood street, google it. Option 2: Look for a local wood supplier on Lazada and send them a message asking for custom size. I did this before with aluminium sheets and I got what I wanted. -
Personally I think the world would be a better place if the USA wouldn't mingle everywhere in the rest of the world. They have enough problems at home. Maybe they should solve those problems first. But obviously many politicians work for the military industrial complex and not so much for the ordinary people.

My gf also comes from a poor family. She lives with me in Bangkok. When she visits the family maybe once a month for a few days she buys some food for them and a couple of beers, and that's it. Maybe a new rice cooker for her father if necessary. But she doesn't see the need to spend a lot of money in the village. Because she knows it won't change anything. So, what's the point of spending the money? It's like poor people winning the lottery. Many waste the money and then they are poor again.

She is probably one of those people who have a screen in front of their face and who don't look at reality anymore. Darwin will sooner or later take care of them.

I used to go a lot to Major Ekamai to the cinema, eating Suki, etc. Now I go mostly to Terminal 21. Yesterday I was the first time since Covid in Major Ekamai. I was surprised that at least half the restaurants and shops are gone. Even the usual chains like Swenson's don't have a restaurant there anymore. The cinema counter was also maybe 1/3 size of what it used to be. What's going on? Was there any special incident at that place so that people don't go there anymore? Or is there finally a saturation of shopping malls in Bangkok that if there is a new shopping mall that people don't visit the existing mall(s) anymore?

In case that is not a rhetoric question: It seems many Thai workers don't even understand the concept of precision like straight walls or anything like that. And even if they understand it, many don't really care. Like a few mm left or right, does it matter? Yes, sometimes it does matter!

Next time rent something in a high floor. No mosquitos, ever. Problem solved.

You are in the wrong country for that. Good luck! If nobody has any better idea I suggest visit "wood street" in Bangkok, you can google it. They have obviously a lot of wood related shops. They also have lots of shops with steel of any kind. I am pretty sure you should be able to find someone there. This is not a tourist place and many Thais over there don't speak any English.

You are the one who wants to show your wealth, not your wife. So maybe you should talk to a psychologist about your reason who YOU want to do that. Talking to a good psychologist will help you to understand yourself better. That never hurts. And maybe it also helps you to avoid and unnecessary construction and all the related problems. I think it's similar to buying a fast supercar in Bangkok. It's only good for showing off. At the next pothole the pickup truck next to you has the advantage.

Amusing scams that you have fallen victim to.

What's better, living a life the way you want it and possibly dying in a motorcycle accident or living a boring live and being killed walking over a zebra crossing. Your choice! We all die, don't worry too much about it. -

My friend Peter and I have a similar taste for girls. Our only main difference is that he likes big boobs, and I don't care. Often we agree about which girl on stage looks best. But sometimes he tells me something like: Look at that beauty at the end of the stage. I look, and don't see any beauty over there. But then I have another look and there is one girl with big boobs and not much else. He saw her, and when he saw the boobs, he somehow forgot about all the rest. -

Who cares about the squid? We want to know if you married her. And/or at least made love with her in the jungle after that date. -
Thanks I never wrote that Palestinians are all good and Israelis are all bad. And I never wrote or thought that Israel has no right to defend themselves. But I also see that, IMHO, the current Israeli government makes the situation a lot worse than necessary. They could fight Hamas more carefully and they could have more support and understanding for their action from the rest of the world. Obviously, there will also be haters on both sides who only see one party as good and one party as bad. Especially in this conflict it isn't that easy.

I understand your point and I know that this is what happens. But I also know that that is not the whole picture. Israelis have their reasons, and Palestinians have their reasons. And both can point at the other and claim that the other killed friends and family members. The situation is very complicated, and that is why there is no easy solution. I think what Israel does in the moment in not "fair" - but then, war is never fair and is not supposed to be fair. Hamas attack on Israel was a crime. And it's obvious that Israel has the right to defend themselves. And what Hamas did didn't happen in a vacuum. And, and, and. The list goes on and on and on. That's the big problem which make peace very difficult.

Benjamin Netanyahu Brags He's ‘Proud’ To Have Prevented A Palestinian State Netanyahu Says He's ‘Proud’ To Have Prevented Palestinian State | HuffPost Latest News It's obvious that the Palestinians want their own state. And it's obvious that Netanyahu doesn't want it. He was quoted all over the media in the last days. But it seems you somehow missed that. Even if all Palestinians would want a Palestinian state, there would be no way to establish that without the approval of Israel and the US. Israel, at least under Netanyahu, doesn't want such a solution. And the US never does anything substantial against Israel. And about answering only parts of your messages: Sorry, I don't want to spend hours with this. I just pick the obvious points.

Thai teachers pierce lips of 36 kids over gum mischief
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I suggest someone should demonstrate to the teacher that that was a bad idea. -
Is your large wife standing behind you?

Mostly Israel and the USA can stop this war. And the USA could force Israel to accept a Palestinian state. It wouldn't be easy, but a Palestinian state is the only viable long-term solution. Israel can't win this conflict the way they try to do it now. Obviously that also needs cooperation from the Palestinian people and many others. But Israel and the USA and the main players.
