  1. Clean clothes is one thing but have you got a clean body? Have you tried connecting the bum gun to a power washer?
  2. You may have to contact a lot of vets to find one that will euthanise a pet. One of our cats developed a chronic kidney problem and was on daily IV that just kept her alive. After a month the vet agreed to preparing the required drugs that I administered at home via the IV.
  3. You just watched 'Last Tango in Paris' and khun Coffee is a close friend.
  4. One less than the number of times I arrived in Thailand.
  5. The 'Tang Rak' app has details of traffic fines, medical details etc. It is the same app being used for the digital wallet. I assume it is only available to Thai citizens. Only found out when mrs went to do the annual car tax, we had two tickets but nothing in the post.
  6. Spider mites. Dish soap, Neem oil, Wood vinegar etc will work but you have to keep applying it. Insecticides do not work, you will need a miticide.
  7. Thanks Mike a good source of information for what is known and what is not known. It has prompted me to check that I have copies of documentation (statements etc) from the start of the year and calculate a likely Thai tax charge based upon transfers this year. Going to get a TIN for me and my wife before the year end. The only wrinkle that I have is the different tax year end and reporting period between Thailand and the UK. I paid UK tax on my pension for the year ending April 2024 and assume that I can offset this against Thai tax for this year. I have calculated that I have overpaid tax and have queried it with HMRC. It is possible that this will not be resolved by the time I complete the Thai return. So I could be claiming a UK tax payment that could be returned by HRMC.
  8. Typical 2 hours after posting a reply I was in accident number 4. Stopped and turned on hazards for a pedestrian who was in the middle of a zebra crossing. When they made it to the side I moved off, hearing a car horn I saw in the mirror a pick up two cars back swing into the near side lane, he then pulled into my lane clipping the wing and light on my car. The traffic prevented him from moving on, so I got out and approached his open window. He just stared ahead, I spoke to him and he tried to move off, so I took his keys. Wife called the insurance whilst I took a picture of him and his truck. Showed him the damage to wing and headlight and he offered to pay. We made him wait for the insurance rep. Insurance rep took the details from me and the wife and a picture of my licence. Took details from pickup driver (did not see him photograph his licence). Claimed he swerved to avoid a car on his inside. He had no insurance and no money to pay, so the rep was going to take it to the police station. It took 50 minutes from calling the insurance before we were on out way.
  9. With 1st Class Insurance you call the company and rep will come to the scene and sort it out. Three accidents so far and no hassle. One where a Honda Jazz was shunted into the back of my truck which was stopped in traffic. Cop came to move us to the side of the road then a Taxi driver appeared to say it was my fault. Waited for everyones insurance rep to appear, everyone reported what happened to the reps. Taxi driver had moved on. Also get a dash camera.
  10. Because true patriots do not abandon their country and become immigrants in another country.
  11. A committee will be formed and will be traveling to Brazil to investigate the threat...LOL
  12. I just completed this quiz. My Score 0/100 My Time 79 seconds  
  13. Did it yesterday. Arrived Mor Chit 7:30 walked out with new licence 9:20. My Thai wife was doing it at the same time and I beat her by about 5 minutes. Went to a local driving centre for the video and to check the paperwork. Well worth the 200 baht as they advised against the local DLT without appointment.
  14. Time to plant bamboo. Think of all the scaffolding they will need.
  15. I have had issues with AIS fibre to the UK since Sunday with slow connection and connction dropping. Not tried it today.
