Thanks! Did they mention the thickness of the steel?

I have an offer for a new (sliding) gate made of a stainless steel frame with aluminium panels These are the specs: Frame: Stainless steel (grade 304), Square Hollow Section (SHS) 1.5 mm thickness Panels: Aluminium 1.0 mm, power-coated Guide price (with installation) 5,900 per sqm. Discounted price for buying two gates: 4,700 per sqm. My questions: Is that a reasonable price for that type of steel? Is the thickness of the SHS 304 steel sufficient for this type construction (which is basically a rectangular 1.5m x 2.8 m)? Sample pictures attached

Indeed. These two teachers should be before a judge on charges of Intent to Cause Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH).

I would look for someone who specialises in making shirts! I have a very good tailor who made several suits and trousers for me; top quality in terms of fabric, style and finishing. However they also offered shirt making, which I tried once. It was rather disappointing... The collar was way too stiff and the quality of the (cotton) cloth was mediocre. I found the selection of suitable cloth (with the right weave and style) for dress shirts seems very limited and a bit old fashioned. As said, unlike the high-end woolen (cashmere-like) cloth woven in Italy that I have been offered for my suits here, all the cotton cloth for shirts I have seen in Bangkok (Sukumvit) was rather unsatisfactory.

Looks more like a violent thug who is totally out for control.

Yes, plus 10 (ten!) photocopies please.

Welcome to the world of infotainment.

The one which has the loudspeaker disabled ????

Hard to imagine that any official from the British embassy would turn up, if you ever get to talk to them on the phone. ????

A university student on a placement?

Since when are stickers issued for visa extensions? Currently there are outdated stamps with a signature and legible handwriting about the type of extension.

One hour, currently? Truth is that (without bribing an officer to get fast-tracked) one usually spends about six hours at the IO to get one's extension. ????

It's a mistranslation of a legal term. It means that 60,000 people were questioned by police officers.

Yeah, he should be cast afloat for good measures.

Circus is in town?

Exactly the same situation we are currently seeing in Northern Ireland.

Nice trees!

Found the answer: Government bonds, real estate funds, infrastructure bonds, or real estate investment funds None of these guaranty a return; they might be worthless or unsellable after three years. Another catch is that this option is only available to Long Term Resident (LTR) visa holders. Which means when the visa has expired they may not be able to enjoy their property.

What type of investment vehicle by the government? What investment in the Thai market would guaranty a return?

Don't think so.
