yea dont squirt water into your ear. i got infection from doing this in the shower

best way i have found is the ear doc, and her little suction pump that sucks it all out.  it can be a little painful, but it is the best way of clearing everything out.  only about 600 baht for both ears IIRC in hua hin

normally  500 THB a month for a carwash??? seems a bit low as we are living in a normal house with normal usage of water and we pay between 350-450 THB a month...for 2 people

do you wash your cars a lot?

"Chai Tea Spices
If you love the flavour of North American coffee-shop chai lattes, you can buy tea masala at any Indian grocer, which is just a ground mixes of sweet spices.

I personally find those spice blends usually taste dusty. I prefer to infuse my chai with fresh whole spices instead.

Some of the most common spices (masala) used in Indian chai include:

cinnamon sticks (or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon)
fresh ginger
whole cloves
green cardamom pods (or a pinch of ground cardamom)
nutmeg
allspice
star anise
fennel
black peppercorns"

we pay 13k a year for our accountancy fees

previously i had a company, and instead of disolving it, and paying accountant fees, i sold it to a mate for 3000 baht 

this is a good way of doing it, to save money, but ensure due diligence, as mentioned above

also, best to get shareholders who you know (or are family), rather than nominees. my accountant told me yesterday that they recently clamped down on nominee owned companies in koh samui, and were planning on doing it in other areas too

you can be director of the company still

Bought one....hopeless .......found three mosquitos in it after about a two weeks use.

were they dead?

thanks for the warning. i am not sure who i hate more than scammers, but the list is quite short!

has anyone ever noticed that one of the other brands of bleach, one of the main ones, not sure on name tho, sorry - leaves a blue stain on the porcelain of the toilet and is nigh on impossible to shift?

if the bleach is left for an hour or two, the toilet gets stained!  at least it is blue i guess, not yellow :D

or just replace the battery: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/mbll-3265032700-32v-7a14a21a28a35a42a-i2644201649-s9501856432.html?

they are brand new already, so i am not sure replacing the battery would help too much. 

as much as i hate throwing stuff out to landfill, i may just have to let these limp on and add a couple of brighter ones to the garden

The one that I ordered is only 30 watts to cover the bridge between us and our neighbour and it stays on for at least 12 hours. 

 

The company is from Bangkok and is called Modi and they are on the internet. They have many models of solar street and spot lights.

 

I ordered mine from Lazada COD at a cot of 321.44 thb, and  it was delivered in 5 days.

 

This is what I ordered

Solar cell street light, model MD-SLT27 - 30W (steady bright system), genuine* brand MODI XMLSOLAR.

 

It has the bracket, the extension and the solar light itself, but no mounting pole, and no need for a controller.
 

I hope that is of use to you.

Thanks very Much Billd... they look great and a good price

i have just ordered 2 on lazada.... thanks again buddy :)

i remember queuing all night to get tickets for the Boro v Oxford Utd   1966/7 ish?......bloody near froze to death.

 

It was so crowded we were allowed to sit on the edge of the pitch.....think Boro won 3-2 and went up that season.

 

"Big John" was the centre forward

might have to start queueing again for semi final tickets now Will!!! 

with big Josh up front :)

hope you are well mate - UTB 

there must have been some beer flowing when these lassies got chosen!!

Of course it does and the 60 watt solar spotlights I am putting ii have solar panels and batteries.

 

The three I am putting in come on at dusk and stay on until there is enough light to charge the batteries and the lights shut down.

 

They are not as bright as the 100 watt LED strip lights they are replacing but they cost nothing to run. The 3 strip lights each consume 1200 watts per  night, or 3.6 units of electricity which at the current price of 4,59 baht per unit comes to about 16,5 thb per day or 495 thb per 30 day month.

 

One x 100 watt strip light costs 5.5 thb per 12 hour day.

 

One 60 watt solar spot light costs about 350 thb to buy, so they pay for themselves fairly quickly. Also they stay on during a power cut.

can you receommend a good one mate? 

i had great luck with our solars bought a year or two ago, but bought some more recently, and these ones fade out after about 4 hours, which is much earlier than the older lights start to fade....

you got any links and i think we will purchase some more?

i hope you're a boro supporter, and not a makkum or a leeds fan!! ;)

amsterdam has always complained they have a problem with riff raff and anti social behaviour etc

i wonder if they legalisation of ganja here will have that same effect in some of the cities?

I assumed you lived in Thailand......seems like you are posting from Middlesbrough.

nowt wrong with middlesbrough ;)

grab are ok in hua hin, the last time i used them

the songthaew are ok, but seem to run very infrequently for some reason.

tuk tuk have always been expensive, but i have seen more thais using them now, so maybe they have started to drop their prices

91 and 95 are priced very similarly at two of my local gas stations......  maybe 50 satang price difference, so i always get 95
