While you are in Lotus JJ look for Chinese plum wine. A year ago it was 180 now 220B , it is very sweet but if mixed with the cheapest red plonk say, 2 parts plonk - 1 part chinese you get a very acceptable drink.

 

Wow, I hope you're just joking. lol

I don't bother with wine in cartons. I rather drink 1 nice bottle worth 1000Baht than 5 liters of boxed wine for the same price.
In my experience you start to get nice wine when buying bottles around 800Baht up. 

There are also nice Thai wines: PB Valley (the medium and expensive ones) and Village Farm in Wang Nam Kiaw have some very tasty ones. They got the help from French professionals who helped them starting up and who regularly come to oversee the quality.

Yes, I believe that's what I said all along. But on a NON B visa and not a NON O.

I got the Non B with work extension and work permit when I was still working for a school. Then stopped and Immigration just changed the reason for the visa to 'marriage'. 
I know it's not usual, but that's what happened and I have it now 3 or 4 years. Not usual but possible.

He most likely means a Non O based on marriage. If its a year extension then he is indeed able to get a WP with that visa.

No, I meant Non B with marriage extension, because that's what I (and also a close friend of mine) have.

LOL, no you don't.

Lol, yes I do actually. 

I know it may seem strange to you, but it's one of those things in life where you just have to accept a different truth.

Is it not possible to get a wifey (or family Non-O) visa and work permit?

Yes, I have a non b based on marriage with which I can get a work permit.

A friend's wife works there. Apparently they make very good money with highly overpriced stuff, thanks to that aura of hi-so that is so coveted here.

We keep one garbage bin just for bottles, tins, cardboard and plastics, the other one is just for food scraps. I think we are the only ones in a village of 40 houses to bother. It just saves the garbage men having to sort through all the wet garbage to find the recyclables.

I do the same. 

If you get all worked up for such a minor thing, you better stay out of sight and let the TW handle it. Legal action for 400baht....pffffahahaha

ok, found it. It wasn't in the classifieds section. Looks like the seller is some kind of dealer, lots of big bikes for sale.
Very tempting indeed, but if I buy yet another bike, my wife will feed my willy to the ducks. 555

I went through 10 pages on the HD classifieds, but no SR. 
I'd be surely a great price, but I don't think it's realistic at all. It costs new nearly 300k. How did it lose 180k in 2 years? A selfish and generous seller? lol Maybe he made a mistake and cancelled the ad.
Look in kaidee, also a Thai bike market, same bike (2014 model) goes for 190k.

I couldn't find that post. You got a link?
Anyway, I think it's too good to be true...maybe there are installments to pay on top of the 120k.

Yes, and they inevitably deteriorate very quickly. Spend a little more, buy a proper (stainless or cast iron) pan and never look back.
I have to say, it was one of the best buys in recent years for me. 

No need, I think the handle is riveted or welded on.

After many useless non-stick coated aluminium pans, I decided to get a proper stainless steel one from IKEA. Heavy yes, but fantastic quality, easy to cook and easy to clean. A pan that will last a lifetime and more.

I don't believe in luck. We attract people and situations by the way we think. Thoughts make up our believes, our believes influence our actions, our actions form our habits. 

I met my wife after just 2 months in Thailand, married her 3 years later, still happily together after 11 years.

This only to show that good relationships are possible, even in Thailand. 

This may sound a bit "far out" for some but I'll tell you this: the better you know yourself, the better you will know and understand those around you. Then you can consciously choose how long and how deep you want to get involved in other people's lives (dramas).

Good "luck"

....or you can take up a new hobby, learn how to weld and grind and get it done yourself! Seems like a fun project 

Hi

The tricycles are already sold (usually in white) in many places (Chatuchak, plant&flower shops along the roads...).

Have you tried to go to Srinigarind Night Market (behind the big shopping mall). There are lots of vintage style shops, including furniture in this style. Maybe worth a look and a try to hook up with people who are in the biz.

I think your best option for now is the Thai Post. Efficient and not expensive like DHL or similar. No pick up though, you have to go to the post office yourself.
Once you've established your company/business you can look for other shipping options, but you'll be hard pressed to find anything competitive like the Thai Post. 
If you do find something, please let me know. ;-)

I guess if you want to state he's 42, 

and dressing like a gangsta, 

or clown, you can.

Though the two are not the same thing.

The article stated he was 39, 

just so we get that wright, no?

 

Well, thank you ajarn for putting this right. Makes all the difference in the world.

Come one, don't panic. We all know this was a face saving exercise, plus calling the 

Big wig general in question makes it just more credible, and maybe earns him a few points with the junta.

It'll all blow over in few days, guaranteed. 

The fashion police got him.
42 years old and dressing like a gangsta clown should be punishable by law. 555

Great looking bike and very nicely built, with lots of nice details. Great engine. Not exactly my style, but definitely a better bike than any HD, and cheaper too.
