anybody know where they sell styptic pencils in Korat?

you can bet there is nothing in Korat worth mentioning.

thanks for the input.  have a great day!

is the Villa Market in Udon a full representation of those in BKK or just a knock-off 7-11/Big C Mini?

month our mouth?

impossible.  you'd need a brain to be able to think.

hope it cleans the air some.

well, thanks.

I have two coming from America via an arriving friend.  I was only hoping that someplace like Central sold them in store.

1,500 Baht = about $50  USD................for a $3 piece of plastic.

see, all the import duties, shipping and everything is rolled into one price.  it's a scam, but thanks.

what I've encountered is that a $3 piece of plastic costs nearly $50, after import taxes and the like.

it's a $3 piece of plastic, for goodness sake.  I thought it might be available here at a retail store somewhere.  I'm not going to fly to Singapore to get one, either.

never seen that bacon rack before and I'm not sure it works very well, but.........

Ebay and Amazon refuse to ship such things here which is why I was looking for something local.

microwaving between paper towels results in paper being stuck to the bacon;  not terribly tasty.

thanks for the input!

anybody ever seen microwave bacon trays anywhere in Korat city?  

I don't know if Central has opened its last floor.  haven't been since they first opened, but that's the only place I could suspect of having them.  not sure why they are so hard to find in Thailand.

those are not the worker drones.

pictures???

how long before all the blocks are stolen?

too

was looking for the same thing myself but have pretty much given up.

in the nearly 18 months I've been here, I've been able to meet and talk with perhaps 6 people in total.  one neighbor and I enjoy a beer regularly.  most of the rest of the farangs I've met here appear to be hermits and quite stand-off-ish.

and neither of us can be much help.  Rob is into fishing while I'm into most anything except golf.

sorry.

now you're going to expose my lack of technical abilities.  I have no idea how to PM anybody.

what part of town are you in?  I live down 224 on the way to Chok Chai.

wish that were true.  can't tell you how many shops simply refuse to service Suzuki motorcycles.

anybody have a clue as to who can service a Suzuki Step 125 in Korat?

I'm getting the back hand from Honda and others, including the Suzuki Big Bike store here.  and nobody at Suzuki Thailand speaks English, or so they say.

health care should NEVER be a for-profit business.  rid the world of this concept and suddenly health care becomes affordable.

we've been waiting for winter all season and these guys' predictions have yet to prove correct.

I'm not holding my breath for this cold snap to appear.

children are going to be the enforcers?

good thing they are revered in this country.  everybody listens to them.

I got SS to stop taking that money out of my meager check.  you can, too.

can these car companies first teach the locals how to drive before selling them one?
