As for putting a flower pot or cable IN the road, are you serious?

Not a road, he wrote it's some pedestrian way too small for cars. Why not put plants in front of your house?

Probably they cater for the Chinese tourists, bring something traditional back home ...

No usufruct for life.

What makes you say that?

Most do not belong to any hospital, they are freelancers on a commission basis. They get radioed the accident and the hunt starts. Sometimes even more dangerous than the thing they run for....

You could always put some plants there, forcing them to drive zickzack. Or put a light on one and a cable across the path, covered by something bright...

You can order from Aliexpress, lots of this stuff there.

They are not volunteers, it's a huge industry.

Every ambulance and rescue car carries their hotline number 1669. They virtually fight for the dead and injured, you just need to watch any bigger accident, they will rush to the site, first one wins. Which is a good thing after all.

Now add some cowboy and indian uniforms ...

They have the plastic ones in Global (orange/black). You could remove them if someone complains. I'd just try the next police station and ask them, if they give their nod you can always point back to them. I don't think anything would happen if you try to approach DLT.

while the borax works good around the kitchen in the tree where the ants can be too much also or anywhere really if you spray them with water and dish soap they die instantly .

You just kill the workers. They will breed again and are back in no time. Borax they will carry into the nest and to the queen. Thus the colony will die.

...My card has a serial number 9, so they issued only 9 of these cards as of last month. .

This means that in your 13-digit ID number, counting from left to right, the seven digits in position 6–12 are 0000009. Is this correct?

No, there is a serial number under the picture, with the issuing amphoe code and a sequential number. Besides the amphoe code it's unrelated to the 13 digits ID.

The black ones (carpenter ants) will eat the borax solution. They are a bit hesitating first but then they come. Got some palms free of them, they like standing water where the leaves connect to the stem. Situation improved, but they always come back from the neighbors.

Immi @ Promenada was wearing flower shirts on Tuesday. Magnum PI would have been jealous

Do they have police raids with automatic rifles in Geneva too?

If you look at the back label at the top on the right-hand side just below the bar code you will see in small print the words "fruit wine"

You are right...darn....that is well hidden. Next time need to scan it and run a computer search

..................................... temples become bazaars, there is nothing traditional at all. .................

Temples in virtually EVERY culture have traditionally been the center of commerce, not just Thai.

In the early days the bazaar was always set up either inside or outside against the temple walls.

Only in later history did the markets move to the protection of the castle walls.

There is an excuse and explanation for everything. That's why Jehova gave us the internet

If it's a visa it depends if it is multiple entry or single entry. In the first case you can re-enter the country latest 15 June and you would get another 90 days.

If it is an extension of stay, as previously said, the re-entry permit will be dated 15 June. No additional 90 days, you need to apply for a new extension.

Should be open. Central Airport opens 11:00.

Borax you can get at Mahidol Rd, left side when you come from the airport, before the Ping bridge. It's a chemical supply shop, blue color outside. 1kg for 90B IIRC. Lasts for a lifetime. And it's really good too. Even that nasty slow moving black ants eat it, the other ones really love it. Cockroaches should also be vulnerable, but haven't seen one for a while.

worldchemical.co.th (throw into Google Maps search)

Been in the city before lunch. They just started to throw stinking moat water at each other. Disgusting. Lot's of foreigners, not only asians, also many farangs, who don't know how to walk or drive. Queues in front of 7/11. When the crowd is drunk a bit later, accidents will just happen.

The old city is again fully commercialized, sellers of all kind of cr*p everywhere, temples become bazaars, there is nothing traditional at all. Just a big, stinking, dirty mess with lots of id*ots inside.

A bit further outside it's different, people have clean water, kids play at the side of the street and have fun. Nice enough for a short stop and a smile.

Use borax, does not get simpler and all ants love it

1/2 cup suger

1 1/2 tablespoon borax

1 1/2 cup warm water

Mix and put it on some tissue paper, I usually use the caps of milk bottles, stuffed with the paper. Then place at a strategic location. Worker ants will carry it into their nest and poof....mass extinction. Don't use too much borax or they will die on the way home.

It's not an official immigration requirement, it's a local document from Immigration Division 1. We can now argue forever about it, but what's the point? TiT and all depends on the weather and the last night of the officer in charge

It says immigration division 1, that is Chaeng Wattana. Someone there (that Maj.Gen.) obviously ordered one of his minions to "optimize" the tracking of evil aliens (us) and that came out with that comprehensive all-round checklist, inofficial as it does not carry a TM.xx number. Now they probably try to implement this in BKK. More reports are needed.

Eventually that may become a one-time questionnaire at the time one applies for an extension of stay. Not for 90 days or re-entry permits. Even the generals will understand that such work load can not be carried on the shoulders of already understaffed immigration.

Standard supermarket prices are the same. However in Chiang Mai you have a lot of local products. Be it fresh vegetables (Royal Project) for as cheap as you can't imagine or local produced food (bread, sausage, pickles etc). Lot's of small factories that provide a huge choice of farang food of all kind for very reasonable prices. Local supermarket change Rimping aggregates a lot of this stuff, so it's centrally available. There is no tourist fee on top unlike I'd expect to see in Krabi. Of course you can get ripped off too if you don't do your homework.

Fuel prices are a bit higher, but that's just a few satang, no real impact.

do you have any concept of the term mineral water?

Can buy in Makro, 6x1.5l from Mae Rim, 55B (sometimes 49B). Cheaper then the distilled water from Nestle&Co.
