  1. If only they were as diligent chasing their own criminals on the run, hiding abroad.
  2. I bet you're a barrel of laughs.
  3. Big Melons? Is that a euphemism?
  4. Similarly on Samui. There is a place on the ring road to Lamai where all the Thais beep as they pass. There is a spirit house, but I was told that someone died in a road accident there and the Thais beep to ward off any ghosts. But the most annoying are the taxis and songthaews beeping at pedestrians as they pass.
  5. You say that she is very poor. Does she eat a healthy diet? Many people here seem to live on a diet of fried food and Mama noodles. Oily food can be a contributing factor. You say she has had it since having children. Perhaps some sort of hormone imbalance could be the cause. Teenagers seem to get it from puberty on, when their hormones are all over the place. I am not a doctor, but I remember reading that Retinol was helpful in reducing acne. She is best getting medical advice on any drugs to take.
  6. She does look fit. But reminds me. I must get my cylinder block re-sleeved. ????
  7. What about the taxis and songthaews that are always beeping at pedestrians?
  8. Amazon have a deal on certain items, but not all. .£5.99 delivery to Thailand at the moment. So if you put a delivery address here, you will see full cost, including import fees before you buy. Might be worth checking that out before sending via your friend.
  9. They sell those in HomePro. I saw them there this morning.
  10. (1) Bear in mind darker tiles can make the room look darker and will hold more heat. Solar gain. (2) Also if you are planning on tiling the whole house, buy a box or two extra to keep for replacing any that get cracked or damaged in the future. Designs do come to an end and go out of stock. (3) If you use ceramic tiles in the bathroom or shower (wet room), check if they have a coating that might get damaged by descaling chemicals that are often used in such places. Found all these out by my own experience.
  11. Maybe they get a commission on whatever sales they make.
  12. Plus half of these so called barbers or hairdressers are not properly trained. They pick up their so called skills by standing next to the hairdresser and just watching, or taking videos on their phones. Must be quite disconcerting for the customer. I have even had a crew cut f*****d up by a barber who left a 2 inch bald spot at the back of my head because he wasn't concentrating.
  13. If lying on your back with your legs in the air gives you leg cramps, you were in the wrong business. ????
  14. Isn't it Woodsome? I suppose it depends on which passport he is using.
  15. I think it is something to do with being able to buy submarines without engines.
  16. Looking at that hairline as a monk, I can see why he wears wigs when dressed as a female..
  17. They will ask for ID and also phone number. Thai driving licence or passport will suffice. They will probably ask you what is in the box if you have already packed it. I just used to take stuff in and get them to pack it for me. They will print off the address, stick it on, and that's it. Apart from payment of course.
  18. All you can do is ensure you have updated to the latest OS. Which I believe is 15.6.1 as of two days ago.
  19. I had the same as AhFarangJa on AIS. Contact True, explain the situation and ask them to check what charges are being taken from your phone and to stop them.
  20. Even before today's strict KYC and anti money laundering rules, I doubt you would be able to open a bank account online here in Thailand. I know in the west, some of the online banks allow it, but they require strict identity proof. I don't think Thailand is anywhere near ready for that yet. But good luck with your search. Asfor using some online entity or an agent. Would you really want to risk losing all your money like that? Pretty sure you would be breaking many of the bank's account security rules about ensuring no one else accessing your account.
  21. GF told me a few months ago that there were spitting Cobras in Thailand. I didn't believe her. I thought they were only in Africa...until I looked it up. I remember Steve Irwin on one of his shows wearing sunglasses or some form of eye protection, and encouraging one to spit at him. Just to show how accurate they are.
  22. I agree. The damage was done while the car was in the dealership's care. It was not her fault. Looks like they are trying to palm her off and not be out of pocket themselves.
  23. The prints might be of some type of lizard trying to climb in your window. The noise in the roof is probably unrelated. Could be anything from rodents to birds or bats.
  24. "Marine officials inspected the pier to ensure safety and prevent any over-fee pricing for speed boats." Do they do that every month? Or only when some bigwig is visiting?
