You didn't say but did you check it yourself first, clean out the filters and the hundreds of small snails that mine collects.

A pond pump should be good for two years non stop every day without failure.....blockages can stress the motor though.

Diy here is far removed from what we can do on the west.

Wardrobe doors on wheels, mirror doors, top and bottom tracks....forget it, they simply don't have the market here for this sort of diy.

Paper faced chipboard the standard product wouldn't last two minutes in this heat, humidity and hungry insects.

The best you may be able to do, but some louvre doors and make door frames and have the robes as opening doors or get the doors and fix the bogey wheels to the top and bottom. The track itself may need to be half inch rebar.

Already trying to think for you I am digging myself a hole, glad its not my problem.

Dressing room would be the solution for me or a set of traditional imported robes.

And look at the marketing for cola back in the 60s.

Did you all have a lifetime of guaranteed happiness.

And fifty years from now we will be looking back and laughing at todays advertising claims

I also was interested in etymology of E'norme and had come to the conclusion it was opened by a Frenchman with a either a stutter or a love of click languages.

ps disturbed to learn it's not a real chateau.

Next you'll be telling us the windmill down the road is fake.

If I open a restaurant, selling beef, spuds and yorkshire puddings I might call it Ee_Bah_Gum

And that perfect light breeze.

....all we need now is a coastline, a few more earthquakes and we might get one.

There is a bit of irony aswell; I remember riding past a day or two after opening to see the biggest spirit welcoming ceremony.

Chairs, awnings,monks,cars galore and as you see now a massive spirit house.

I just wonder which spirit they welcomed....the wrong one it seems.

i have got the the stage to ask for all the meals to be served together or I will not accept them ,I am fed up getting the rice 15 min before the rest of the meal

A very good restaurant, but notorious for serving dishes at intervals is Tha Nam, but if you make it clear, they will make an effort to get everything to you at the same time.

It used to be $6 to shoot yourself

I need an update......now please

This is how I have always understood it to be: –

It is illegal to set up a company to purely own the house and land in question. And it is illegal for a foreigner to own land in Thailand, apart from investing many tens of millions of dollars (not sure of the actual amount).

Many of the companies which have been set up in the past with regards to home ownership (and supposedly land ownership) do have Thai shareholders who have to own 51% of the company. The usual ploy is that after a while, these shareholders sign over their shares to the farang (for a payment), thereby on paper allowing him/her to "own" the company and in theory owning the house plus the land.

If the main asset of the company is the house and land, then there is a value on it, and the Thai shareholders would have to stump up with 51% of that value between them in order to own 51% of the company. And that is where the authorities have started to clamp down, seeking out the Thai partners and going through their financial records to see if they actually did put money into the company.

As for leases, then there is only one which is recognised by the courts, and that is a 30 year lease, and any offers of 2 x 30 year leases or 3 x 30 year leases are misleading, because they will not stand scrutiny and are actually not recognised by the courts.

Always willing to learn if this is not correct, so would welcome any other posts on it.

And imagine how hard is it to sell a house if it has a lease on it? And after 30 years are gone, the house becomes the ownership of the land owner, so he would be mad to give you another lease for 30 years, he rather sells it

Not too sure about that aspect, however as I understand it the purchaser still owns the house/building but has to re-negotiate the lease on the land.

If the landlord wants to play games in order to acquire the house then they hold the trump cards and can play all sorts of games in order to get it.

The house is not owned by him, so if the landlord will not renew then the tenant can strip everything out .........and wave his bulldozer in.

The best "twos up" ever in my opinion.

I really wouldn't be quibbling over a 300bt taxi ride that is going to get me to the airport.

no different to getting a flight to bkk for 1700bt or at peak times 2300bt.....I bet you don't quibble that.

If I was at risk of missing an international flight I would pay 10x that,

or ask a mate to take you? If you have any.

Yes, to the right,near the bike park, often has these type of units, but they come in as often as they go out.

May need to ask if you go on the wrong day, and have those photos handy just in case.

That looks like a filters no better than a seive.

The small domestic triple filters with carbon, ceramic etc for drinking water retail from about 1600by upwards.

That's why I query for 600bt and the same size what is it filtering.

The whole house water filters you can see at the big stores, usually stainless steel stand a metre high and look like they can do dialysis aswell.

Sorry but 600bt isn't going to do jot.

And OP, I think most of us would get urticaria not showering for two days.

The earthquake has nothing to do with dirty water, the rivers have been red since it started raining two week ago.

Its not too dissimilar to the many properties you see for sale and rent on the buy, sell,swap fb sites.

From just a couple of photos, you get people saying I am interested, probably no serious interest really.

I just wonder if some people like to be vindictive and controlling, knowing they are building sometimes hopes up only to laugh when they vanish from sight.

Of course many people take it a step further and spend their weekends trawling around other peoples property as a hobby and some may be just surveying and making a want list for a future break in.

I agree to be cautious of the "too good to be true" scenario.

why would you want them? they get eaten by termites and eventually collapse.

I have had a set outside for a years so far nothing has touches them.

They are actually solid wood, not mdf or conti and if they last 4yrs then for the price I think that's great value.

You could start by looking at the furniture place on the car park at global house. They sell those double and triple work units with tiles tops. The ones 5tiles wide around 4500bt, 4 tiles are 3800bt

Similar outlet by the car park under big c superhighway.

You can order and have it delivered within 2days not sure where they make them.

Also a few places on the road near cheung mai united football ground before you reach the bridge over the river.

Home pro actually has surprisingly the biggest range of tiles I have seen anywhere in cm and

So you've never been to Home Sukhaphan I take it?

Hahaha

There's not much I don't know about any of the big stores, home pro, home sukka, global ,thai watsadu, baan and beyond.

yes sukkapan nice display but the place has ..no content, and far too much cheap cheap sale stuff

All mouth and no trousers comes to mind.

A couple of weeks since you guys all gave me opinions about how long my tree would survive.

Of course I am not happy about it. But as a few of you pointed out the recent wet weather seems to have stopped the tree bleeding, it likes rain for sure....and it held its own in yesterdays earthquake.......though I was well away from it!

Anyway....the good news......after the advice, we decided to get pregnant and now we have a few roseapple babies.

Just grown from the stones we saved and three them in a polystyrene takeaway lid with sand.

Life goes on, don't they say.

A bit of an oxymoron is natural and tile, unless it is cut from a real block of granite or a block of sandstone...called a flag, then tiles invariably made from cement, clay,porcelain.

Home pro actually has surprisingly the biggest range of tiles I have seen anywhere in cm and some great tiles with those natural polished granite veneers.

I hope your tiling job isn't related to your last thread wanting to borrow hammer and bolster!

Is it a guessing game or is your photos just not loading on my phone?

Just use a clear silicone sealant.

It allows a little flexibility when joining materials with different expansion coefficients.

Glue simply hardens and cracks

I don't think 8 threads have ever been created about the same topic within a minute of each other.

we must all be bored today.

Just ran out of my tree house, it was shaking like hell.

My hanging plants swinging like a pendulum.

Scary....yes....when your only drinking chang.

did the earth move for you guys.
