I suggest have a look at IKEA METOD kitchens online or in their shops.

Buy Kitchen Accessories Online - METOD System - IKEA

 

This is a very flexible modular system with (as far as I see) any possible option which you may want.

Even if you don't intend to buy IKEA, I think it is still a good idea to get an overview.

 

You can also use their kitchen planner to plan your own kitchen.

 

Last but not least, it seems kitchen design is a well-researched topic. You will find many articles and videos about working concepts, recommended sizes, etc. on the internet. 

METOD quality is good, same stuff they sell all over the world. I built mine from their parts in 2015, and no issues at all.  Warranty service also tested and proven to work very well. They can design for you on the spot as long as you have your room dimensions with you., or you can do yourself using their web design tool (as I did), can print purchase list directly from the tool.

They also install for a fee, I did myself though. Easy peasy

Took granite tops from local stone shop though, price about same as melamine stuff from ikea and for sure lasts longer.

Facebook related scams pale in comparison to administration related ones...how about that?? 

Both Major and SF cinema have smartphone apps where you see prices for few days and even buy tickets. Just install and check from there how prices vary daily

And what happens to all the Thais that spent money creating shops etc?

A lot of new Somtam shops coming. With a special less spicy flavor! 

Would like to see how clean the boob job was! 

... That must have been a really nice smelling room... 

"I dread finding out what the usage results of this median will be upon its completion"

- Many bikes and cars crashed to the median while passing or avoiding others, causing unnecessary carnage and human suffering. 

- Quite a few cars stuck on their bottoms on top of the median while trying to make u-turn over it.

- Causing unnecessary queues when someone stops on left lane so that no space to bypass from the right due to the median (even if no coming traffic)

- Hawkers selling amulets and flowers standing on it

Thus can not say it will be useless or unused!

Wait for year or two it will be wiped off, just like the Watboon roundabout. Good source of income for officials.

 If she has some faulty, dirty or inefficient air conditioners in which the compressors are running full time or most of the time, that will increase the cost of running them by a huge amount.

I've had so many experiences of clogged aircon filters being the reason for ac not being able to cool the room regardless of compressor running full time that have developed habit of checking ac cleanliness first thing after taking the room. More often than not the maintenance is complete neglected. 

Type keto into Google maps search and you can see few. Good or not I don't know 

How about brake failure, slippery road and jumping electric poles then? 

Clear without saying that lack of brain does not cause any. Except maybe for foreigners!

Amazing Thailand did a good job of getting people to ware a mask, why not helmets? I also think them helmets for a couple hundred Baht should be banned 

Strong enforcement with hefty penalties makes wonders even in Thailand, just look at the quantity of section 112 violations annually as extreme reference. Even with 2000 baht fine with enforcement would change the scene fairly quickly. 

" were acting as Thais" 

Acting as Thai? - I understood she is Thai, no need to act. 

Danilo probably ventured into wanchai bars and met his country ladies who do not expect him to report when he goes to poo, rather teached him something more enjoyable that his mother never told him about. Danilo is pissed to mama for not teaching him all that years ago, he missing all the fun.

Rest is history. 

Goverment and TAT certainly disagree. Bangkok and Thailand shall not be any list for backpackers, rather for big spending ones if you ask them!

Suzuki K engine is used in Ciaz and Swift and is indeed a chain engine, thus the reaction in shop if you try to convince them to chain the belt.

I guess practically lasts for life in regular oil changes done properly.

There has been a rash of land clearing and banana trees being planted around us where the property has been left to become overgrown for many years. My neighbor informs me this is being done to avoid paying property taxes on the unused land which this year is being penalized and taxed at the highest levels.

 

Waiting for my tax bill to arrive as well.  

I also wondered the efforts many land owners are willing to take to avoid minor tax. Matter of principle I guess, at any cost!

That qualifies as a nasty *****…

Oh...not nasty at all in my experience...

It means that she just does it for some cash on the side. She might be a student or have another career. 

How about a  fully sponsored gf or wife of a farang living & working outside of Thailand who goes with other guys on the side when she feels like (when he not here)?

Does that qualify as "sideline"?

Tourist that had damaged thai tourism, not the operator that puts tourists life at danger
