  1. My friend had it like this with 3bb in his condo on pratamnak Soi 5. Some contractors came to install the cable and the few was paid to them. I actually oversaw the installation as he was out of town at the time. Fiber cable installation is very simple job and likelyhood of having issues due to the cable installation is low. Even if happens, just need to fix the cable. He has not had any issues.
  2. The ikea kitchen I made for myself is actually an outdoor kitchen. I had extra space outside so had the roof extended for proper coverage, and made full western style kitchen outside under the roof, with about 5.5m of countertop space. After that I have not cooked anything inside even if I do have extractor blowing the fumes out, you will always have the smell if you cook inside. The original inside kitchen basically became a 'drink kitchen' for lounge after the outside done (and sometimes eating place if bring food from outside). I have outside 'living room' adjacent to the outside kitchen under same roof as well, and consequently have kind of outdoor lifestyle at home. Personally I am very satisfied with my decision to do it even if was not sure if worth when planning it. For some reason the ladies seem to be liking it as well.
  3. Around the same time I did my ikea kitchen, my neighbor had a kitchen done by a thepparasit shop, I recall planet kitchen but not sure. Quality of components they used was about same as ikea, but it was expensive. Anyway he was satisfied. Boonthavorn I recall has good quality non cheap kitchens available as well. But much more expensive than from ikea at least few years ago. HomePro stuff is 2nd tier compared to those. Cheap sure.
  4. Wasn't aware that future lottery ticket wins can be used as a loan guarantee. Monks probably think they are as good as holy spirit as guarantee
  5. I recall reading news about similar behavior earlier, though only in Thailand. I think would be worth an academic research to try to find out more about this, esp whether having high voltage is essential for the benefits of the climb. Maybe this activity could be developed into worldwide cure for stress, angst and possibly other mental issues.
  6. Anyone familiar with physics education in thai curriculum? Seems so many of these accidents are such that the drivers have no idea about basic laws of physics.
  7. These stories about real behavior of life in temples always makes me laugh. But when talking about these with thai people they feel seemingly awkward and even annoyed about it, defending the good monks.
  8. The design tool goes long way in helping you to know what you want or don't want as it visualizes your design in 3D. I made full design with it and ordered all main pieces together and no major mistakes. But yes it is a lot of stuff so esp if you have space constraints might be good idea to order as you go. But remember that they might suddenly discontinue a door color so would advise order all fronts at one go, even if as last order once frames installed. I had a warranty issue and could not get a replacement door after some time as they had discontinued... Though they offered to give me all doors due to that. I declined though as my issue was minor, did not like what they had at the time and felt a bit lazy to replace all. BTW the warranty service is good.
  9. Good point. I used to try to unblock grey water drain, though had to get the snake guys to do it at the end as chemicals did not help.
  10. I did exactly as you did for my own kitchens, as did not trust any thai to install mine. I recall granite top from Pattaya stone shop was about same price as the melamine from ikea. Also made design for a friend and ikea installed for her. She was very happy with the installation service provided. This was about a year ago.
  11. The design tool is an online tool, no need to install on your computer. I designed few kitchens with it some years ago. https://www.ikea.com/th/en/planners/kitchen-planner/ https://www.ikea.com/th/en/customer-service/services/planning-consultation/online-planning-service-pub15b6c560 Seems they may even come see you nowadays. Did not know that.
  12. Caustic soda as well as some other acidic unblocker (that they told me not to mix with caustic soda in the pipes as they react together) is available in those thai markets. Just bought from Phratamnak Soi 5 market few weeks ago.
  13. Moose is not bad and seems even 711 carries it, thus easy to get
  14. Design yourself with ikea design tool, order from there and have them install. If you can't use their design tool, go ikea store with your kitchen drawing and dimensions and they do for you. Good quality at a price I doubt anyone can beat.
  15. That was a refreshing Sunday morning coffee read. Axe is fairly rarely mentioned in these killing stories here especially in temples
  16. 21 years and two sinsods done already, probably looking for 3rd already. Can't fix stupid.
  17. Seems these guys indeed got money coming into the ponzi especially during covid time. And they even recorded at least much of it as revenue/profit in their books.
  18. News story about unveiling of budget but without saying anything what is actually planned to be done - if anything rather just wanting media visibility
  19. Seems it is bus burning season. For some reason coinciding with rainy season.
  20. ... Maybe they plan to apply the even-odd parking on the Soi. Or make it two way. Or change direction. You never know what comes out of these announcements. Confusion and missed expectations are certainty though.
  21. What happened for the plan to make Buakhao one way? A year or so ago talks about that incl drawings of how the traffic directions would be, but no change other than Diana and 11
  22. These guys unblock drains using machine snake, if blocked they might be able to open
  23. Would be very interesting to have the opportunity meet the people puking these ideas, and discuss with them about their views of how the world works. Or doesn't. I imagine we might have different views, and also believe they would quickly start contradicting their own views as the discussion goes. TIT.
  24. Not really surprised about the scam as the whole country is full of scams. And for sure none involved will admit they have done anything wrong. What is more surprising is that how can ordinary people be so stupid they take loans worth multiples of their annual incomes and spend those on stories of those scams. Tells quite a bit about the level of intelligence of those people.
  25. As nobody was hurt, small tip to officer makes positive look negative... And result is a just a misunderstanding.
