  1. I may need to drive from Jomtien to Korat city in the near future. Google maps suggests Rt-7 to Rt-304. While that is clearly the faster route it is also traffic and truck intensive. Is Rt-331 to Rt-304 a reasonable alternative? I know longer and twistier but less traffic intensive and more scenic? I won't be in a hurry and may actually make it a two day trip, staying a night along he way.
  2. I wonder what they do with 20,000 tons of vegetative waste such as this...tat's a lot of compost.
  3. I hope some accountability for the lack of any life-vests on board.
  4. One can't help but wonder just how a police officer and part time monk came to acquire 217 property deeds.
  5. Pick-up's are really twitchy, especially on slippery roads. The lightweight rear end can easily come around with even a small steering error, as it did in this case.
  6. I wonder how the engine fan blades can survive this kind of intense ice impact. I thought they were fairly brittle.
  7. That's an interesting piece of information. I was told several times that one could go to Rayong or Sattahip and get a new license on a "Walk-in" basis. Nice to have the record straight.
  8. While it's true you can watch the video online for license renewal and be credited as having watched it, you can not watch online the series of videos for initial license and be credited with having watched them.
  9. I know it's considered uncivilized but in cases like this, I do wish jails still had basement rooms for in depth behavioral counseling .
  10. I remember excerpts from that book appearing in one of the free local newspapers that used to be available. He played them pretty well, like the oddly deformed Dutch guy who also gamed the local expat community quite effectively.
  11. I have friends who went the home schooling route. They found that it only works if you have a supportive home schooling network around you providing socializing and enrichment opportunities like group outings. You just can't keep two kids isolated in a house every day doing sums. I suspect this dreamer and his family are in for a hard slap from reality.
  12. Is ammonia one of those compounds that naturally has a powerful smell or is it like natural gas in that a tell-tail odor is added.
  13. According to AI, Sodamint and baking soda are virtually the same active ingredient and can be used interchangeably. I use baking soda for indigestion occasionally and it's always immediately effective. Just don't sit or lie down for a few minutes to allow the gasses to rise and give a good "BUURRPPP"
