I do not recall seeing a washing machine connected to a water supply with a pipe, they seem to use flexible tubing or hose, is that what you are talking about or is it really rigid pipe?

its called a flexi-pipe It would need a pretty stupid (and clever) plumber to fix a copper water pipe to the back of a washer.

and at 1400rpm his nuts are sure to come loose! and serves him right

my recommendation is "Kulsrisuwan" it has a very very good reputation for quality, price and honesty.

i was always told the red gold shops are Govt owned and as a tourist you will not always get the best rate.

(they trade gold and diamonds..not sure if they are Chinese owned, my card has some chinese script on it)

when i bought Mrs E a bracelet she was almost as impressed with where i bought it, as the dam_n bracelt itself!!

I know of 2 branches; one on nimmenhaemin road, and one on Proprokklau road near pratu Chang Puek

if I had a couple of dogs, would probably name them "one" and "two" then if I lost one I would still have two...............bum bum

Sounds like the plasic nut may have been overtightened.

yes easiest to unscrew it (make sure you shut off the water first!!) and carry it with you to be sure of the length and the same thread diameter.

almost all the roadside harware shops will have, very cheap.

but good place to go, is called Amorn electronic (i think)on chang puak ..they have so many all different options and its the cheapest place i know

I am so sorry to hear about your plight you little shitz but i think maybe you ask your guardian to sell you both via the classifieds.

this forum is for grumpy old farangs to discuss much more mundane subjects.

ps: I have a few hundred guppy fish, numbers increasing by the week....will give them names soon so they can ask to be bought.

10 onto 1 ??? and your friend came off none the worse for wear.......does he have the ability to turn green when he gets upset.

Well Chiang Mai zoo has just ended a promo campaign on Ensogo, selling tickets to the aquarium (and maybe the zoo?) at less than half price.

Aswell as that "cost" the comission charges to ensogo are another 20%.....so maybe......just maybe,,,,,,,,,they are trying to recoup someof that loss to the ensogo ticket customers by increasing charges on the monorail to bona fide customers.

being cynical again!

So smoking in the rooms is permitted there...........if you ask nicely???

I have the 7/11 emergency bin liner also (but blue!!!), the arms are shorter than my T shirt arm and it just about gets down to my waist........and it said "one size fits all" ???

now mrs E (half my size) has a quality plastic one, comes in silver, press studs down each side....its literally 2.5m wide and maybe 1m long.

seriously it is big enough for 2 people on a bike together.....we tried it..........but she wasnt too happy......as driver I claimed the only "headhole"......she had to make do with the ...

you can get them along the moat from chang puak towards the big bbq on the corner. very robust and i think perfect attire for the next few days also.

Wasn't there a CM radio station called, "TITS radio"?

probably nothing to do with it.....but this came to mind!! (tits on the radio for those not wanting to watch)

Still going.....................but has anyone got a Chieftain or a Panzer I can borrow?

hmm, got me worried now....i can see the logic of those drivers wanting to get back to bkk asap to collect another busload.

i will be going tuesday night, but my priority will be to check out the escape window, maybe wear my bike helmet on the coach...and make sure i dont see any whisky near the drivers seat...haha

I decided quite spontaneously to find a less "full on" place to spend the Songran Period and went up to the bus station to get a ticket to Bkk, then I will go onto one of the islands.

We were fortunate to get a ticket.... but coming from Bkk to CM you can forget it, Nakornchaiair had a notice up...every bus from there from the 7th april to the 16th april was booked up.

lets assume most of the other bus companies are also booked up bringing people to CM, that means its going to get rather busy...to say the least

will you be joining the smaller exodus of people wishing to escape C.M this time.?

why would they want to paint the tree??

I was referring to the ugly stained concrete in the second picture. They could use the fallen tree as scaffolding.

i was just being flippant with a dash of dry humour-

why would they want to paint the tree??

my boss always told me not to get rooted to my desk

i will pass on this advice

AThai Visa cooking forum would be a fantastic idea, having just drooled over the above photos; whereby we show our favourite dishesor ones prepared professionally...............

...........back to the Easter topic.. just had a week in the UK, staying with my mother; as I left I asked her who the chocolate Easter egg was for..."its for you"......"mum its 35 degrees and rising in Thailand; everything in my bag will be covered in chocolate before i even get out of the airport"

"oh! well what am I going to do with it??" derrrrrrrrrrrr,

mothers...glad i still have mine.

hmm I cant understand why anyone needs to be cleverer than a Phd; but if there is a Higher National Diploma supplement then i may try some.

Did you consider just filling in the "niche" which is....lets be honest 70s design!!!

and then buying a nice stainless steel condiment hanger for your shampoo and hair dye.

no cuts at all

sometimes a facetious answer is whats needed.

45 deg angles almost impossible with tiling- use the plastic tile trim and stop messing about,....

and always cut on the besat side to avoid chipping.

this is why they sell tile trim; it makes the job easier and more professional. (not being cynical..honest!)

If youre leaning towards ally/pressed steel gutters and fallpipes, theres a place in santitham.

at the small 5lane ends roundabut take the one with the polce box towards the grandview hotel. its just on the leftopposite the plastics shop.

they will fabricate what you need and deliver if you dont have appropriate transport..

powder coating though, not sure here, its rather specialised and i think a spray gun is the favoured tool here?

For a personal tax number; i agree you probably need a work permit but if you have your own business as part of a company or partnership then the business will be issued with the tax ID number.

I think i was issued one at the city hall, at a similar time as registering the business name.

but who can earn enough here to pay tax....certainly not me

there is a bkk bank on Nimmehaemin road along with every other bank (except krung thai)

the campus is spreadout everywhere but as other posters highlight there are maybe 6 within a small radius.

what puzzles me is WHY do they always go around in pairs, literally one behind the other.

and then you see them parked up..together

if i was paying for 2 cars to go around the city with my advert, i would want them going in opposite directions to cover more "ears" seems like the advertsier is being ripped off.

but some accasionally have good tunes to "swing yer pants" to and some if youre lucky have 3 or 4 hot and sexy young ladies on....now they are worth watching

I dont have any experience of cooking schools; but I do go regularly to a lovely massage spa.

SPAromdee massage on Sirimangklajarn Road (opposite Oasis) has only been open a few months but already its up there with the best (IMHO)

The standards and service far outstrips many of the city shops I have visited and after 3 visits they allow you to come for free massage. the therapists are all top notch unlike 90% of the cheap city places. thats my recommendation.

Infact I might just get across there now, if only to talk to the most charming receptionist around.
