  1. Anyone know what these ganja loving grubs are in the earth? i am in hua hin and they seem to be eating my roots, plus the roots of my friend's plants who lives nearby. what are they, and any good ways to make them go away?
  2. could die from drugs in your living room too tho
  3. my mate was in there for three weeks. his dad wired his flight money to me and i took it to bangkok and went to the IDC. was a bad looking place, as packed with people as the photo that was posted. there are youtube videos about it too, showing the inside of the prison. my mate later told me he saw some guy getting a worm dug out of his leg by his mate, with a spoon! best to avoid being detained here at all costs!!
  4. hua hin immigration (and many others) allow you to show 65k coming into your account every month for the previous year

  6. our recycling business near us will take glass bottles, metal, plastic bottles, and has now started accepting plastic bags to recycle we even get a little bit of money for collecting it all together and taking it to them. plus they give us large sacks to collect everything in, each time we drop off luckily our house has a laundry room so we can use that as a recycle collction area, and drop stuff off every month or two we also compost all our veg and fruit peel into the garden it has helped cut down our waste by a fair bit, but we still must dump a fair bit of refuse every day
  7. Thanks for your service Joe - RIP good man
  8. we got the sticker on the way in, but when leaving the IO asked if i wanted a stamp or not. as my passport was nearly full i declined the stamp. my GF got a stamp
  9. yes, but if you thought everyone else was carrying too, like the bloke sat directly behind you on the bus that you cant see easily, would it not make you feel more nervous? i know it would do for me
  10. there must be so many people living in fear in the US, all due to the stupid gun laws, and the need for gun companies to make money
  11. this has been a big story on thai news. my gf has been telling me about it a long time to chase after someone and not even get a kiss!!
  12. there's a good one near to the railway station, under the big yellow archway that is just after the 7/11, if you pass the 7 on your left the guys name is kuhn F, and his english is great, and lots of farang take their bikes to him
  13. i went to visit my mate in IDC in bangkok. looked like a pretty rough place. best to avoid detention here at all costs
  14. pak nam pran has plenty of empty land adjacent to the beach theres a couple of beach bars down there too to check out
  15. i hope we get one in hua hin - would be a good vibe for sure
  16. mine comes to my hotmail account, and is read within outlook you sure it applies to all hotmail accounts george?
  17. ask the bank if they can give you a better transfer rate than the one they offer on typical transfer, as it is a large amount kasikorn gave me an improved exchange rate, when i transferred a large amount if they dont, look into Wise as an option. as has been stated, it may save you quite a lot of money
  18. there is a car show at hua hin tonight if you are nearby
  19. Hi Guys, the mrs and i have a trip to kuala lumpur planned and a trip to tokyo. I have bought some ringitt here in hua hin already, but i dont want to carry too much cash with me (else the mrs will hit the shops hard!) ???? what is the best / cheapest way to get hold of local currency whilst abroad? i have a kasikorn debit card, uk credit cards, paypal account, wise account.... i feel that using baht to buy currency means that i am paying to exchange twice (ie pounds > baht > yen/ringitt) are there any more efficient methods to get pounds converted to local currency? credit cards are normally expensive / offer poor rates, right? any cool apps that will let me deposit pounds in uk and withdraw cash cheaply in asian countries? also, KL/Tokyo are not going to be cashless are they, and i need to swipe for everything, rather than pay cash?
  20. if you stay PKK city be sure to walk up to the temple on monkey mountain, to the north of the city. Great views of the bay. It may be worthwhile taking a stick with you for the walk, as the monkeys can be a bit menacing
  21. is this likely to lower the prices you think?
  22. my mate gets 10 kg sacks here in hua hin for 200 baht a sack. from the pranburi area i believe
  23. i went to a ganja fair recently and a thai grower there told me if you plant some thai egg plants (มะเขือ - the ones served in green curry) near your ganja plants then you get lots of lady bugs / lady birds. the lady bugs then in turn will eat all the spider mites that venture onto the ganja plants. he was an experienced grower. anyone else heard this or tried this? i get quite a problem with spider mites, so may give it a try - plus i love green curry ????
