  1. comfortable bed, good shower with hot water, airconditioning, no noise and no smell, room size doesnt really matter as long as the hotel is in an area you want to be in
  2. I do but carry my expired aussie licence with me as well, never had a problem
  3. well unfortunately its their country so they are allowed to make the rules, if you dont like them dont go there, you are aware of these regulations before you go so no sense whinging about them, is the same way alcohol is not allowed in certain countries, just accept it and avoid those countries.
  4. have to wonder how much it cost them to get the votes, many millions passed around I would think but again we see the contempt for thai people with the way pt are cosying up to the parties they said they would never associate with, shows that all they care about is getting their snouts back in the trough and bringing their leader back to Thailand, no regard for their followers at all
  5. wife bought a few of the lazada ones and they didnt last more than a year or so then she got a Sharp EMC 15, brilliant, no problems at all and just keeps going, the cheaper ones do ok at the start but they are not well made(materials used) and they break down if used often
  6. this happened to me last year, the package was marked as delivered but the postman said he could not remember who he delivered it too or where and when we kicked up a storm the head person at the post office made the postman refund the total cost of the item to us. Unfortunately thai postal workerds have a habit of keeping things for themselves or to sell, demand that it be replaced as they are at fault, do not allow them to BS you, I had a friend that had packages sent from Australia to him and the first 3 went missing yet all were signed for, the postman was stealing them, doing the signatures and selling the contents, you have to push them and demand that the postman pays for what they more than likely have stolen, if you are lucky they will suddenly find it. I have also had my replacement visa cards stolen by the postman in the past as well at our other house then the new pin code post was also opened to get the numbers and stuck back down but I had cancelled the cards before they could be used, you have to make sure that they do not get away with it
  7. You only need to apply a primer/undercoat if it is a new or bare wall, to repaint you need to wash down the walls to remove the oxidized surface which is very prevalent in Thailand then apply 2 coats of the new colour. Looking at the pic the paint looks to be in good condition and provided you are not going to change the shade too much 2 coats of a quality exterior paint should be fine but if the colour is very different/lighter a 3rd coat may be needed. Oxidization is the paint breaking down on the surface due to sunlight leaving a powdered surface, this needs to be removed or it will cause the new top coats to start lift as they will not bond to the old surface, any lose or flaking paint needs to be removed and if a bare wall remains this needs to be sealed before applying the top coats. Make sure if you use thai workers they do not water down the paint, even in Australia you could find shonky painters that would add too much water causing the paint to break down a lot faster, good qality paint should give at least 15 to 20 years of life provided you wash down the surface every 3 or so years. I brought all my gear with me when I moved here many years ago so had my metal extension poles, high quality rollers/sleeves and top of the line brushes plus all my drop sheets, being a tradesman I am very fussy.

    Beach

    we had the same problem at Kanom beach last year, was all over the sand and our feet were covered in it when we walked away, was all over the tidal section so we realized that someone had spilled or deliberately dumped a lot of oil at sea
  9. biggest laugh is the law they are using is the 1866 civil rights act that was written to get the kkk, last time this idiot smith tried to use this law and got a conviction in a democrat court all 7 supreme court justices threw out the conviction when it was put before them, here we go again
  10. red shirts showing their ugly heads again, have to wonder if they will start killing, bombing and setting fires once again to please their master, they will just push the army to maintain their current status if they do
  11. jack smith as a laugh at best, he has had several cases he has run overturned because they were absolute rubish, he has been rubbished by the supreme court before trumps add ons, all of them voted against smith even the dem appointments, he has an exceptionally bad name as he uses old laws and tries to widen what they actually mean to attack republicans then has them all overturned,the same will happen here as he is trying to widen what the statute actually means to suit himself, thing is because he only goes after republicans the dems love him even if he doesnt win, all they are trying to do is throw mud at trump before the election, will be interesting to see what happens especially if republicans win the next election then take the doj for partisan charges etc, I can see a few dems facing charges out of all this garbage
  12. here we go again, another 3 ministers in the making, a bit of jail time in Australia would cement them in like the current minister
  13. how fast the poms seem to forget that in 2005 atherton(former captain) had dirt in his pocket to use on the ball to get reverse swing, trescothick was their head ball tamperer as well using mints to effect the swing but again thats fine because it is england, poms are so pathetic, cannot handle losing, poor babies, just dummy spitters because Australia simply did what england invented so their bowlers could get reverse swing or they would have had their ar*es handed to them
  14. if this man loved the country as he claims he would be backing Pita to be the new PM but that would not suit his plans at all, last thing these people want is an honest government.
  15. and the poms are whinging about it as per usual, it great when things go their way but not anyone elses. They have become the complete whingers, they grass a catch and call it a fair catch, the wicket keeper tries to run out a batsman when he is out of his crease then whinge when the aussies do it, they snick a ball on the way through but pretend they didnt and refuse to walk then whinge when the aussies do it. Really shows how pathetic the poms have become, they even had the wickets made to their demands as well as the shortening of boundaries to suit their BS new play but still lost, shows how incompetent they really are, the children need to grow up and realize that they need to play cricket and not bazzball, also have to realizee it is their garbage weather that is also the problem, all in all it couldnt have happened to bigger idiots, Australia won the first 2 tests with their doctored grounds, hahahahaha, only ones responsible are the poms
  16. to sign as a guarantor they would have needed to look at his financials first to ensure he has the finances to take over if she fails to pay, a husband co signing is not always to be a guarantor, I have co signed my wifes loans over the years and have not been guarantor on any of them.
  17. the educated thais are starting to look at just how much graft & corruption control what happens in Thailand and have realized they dont like it, they have realized the only way Thailand can become a decent country to live in and be respected is by voting in a party that will do the right thing for the people and not their own bank accounts. The old brigade also realize this so do whatever they can to stop it because they do not want their positions of power usurped, thing is the younger students are building up and within a few years will be the ones that decide which way the country will go, the next election is going to be very interesting and the results should make the change a reality, if the army/police go too far with this now by attacking the students they will be ensuring their downfall a lot faster.
  18. evidence paid for by the opposition directly to the ec if they do as they are told, graft rules in Thailand
  19. golden tree snakes are fine, we had one in our other house, would take off if anyone went near it. Unfortunately it decided to stop in the pelmut cover over the sliding doors and when my MIL opened the door it fell on her head, I found it in several pieces after all the screaming.
  20. and we really have to wonder how big the cake boxes were that were given to them to do it, special delivery by hand to follow their bosses orders, they have broken their own regulations so they must have been pretty big boxes and once again we will see no police action against them for their graft
  21. hahahaha, they are on their way out so wanted to make sure their cake boxes are not withdrawn so have accepted much poorer and unreliable options to get their share of the graft, also didnt they say that it was being left up to the new govt to decide what to do
  22. the ones refusing to accept the vote of the people are the ones that are filling their pockets and those of their friends/relatives with the way it is currently set up, they are scared of losing all their ill gotten gains and not being able to force payments being made to them, Thailand, home of graft & corruption
  23. cant believe they call that garbage coffee, tastes awful, same with amazon, people only buy either because they think it is a status symbol. There are plenty of good little coffeee shops that grind their own beans from non name brands that taste a lot better, even the beans we get from my wifes friwnd and grid ourselves tastes a hell of a lot better, starbucks coffee needs to replace the b with an f to give the name real meaning.
  24. Creating new varieties of frangipani/plumeria keeps me occupied, while I need workers to do the physical side, I do the twirling(a method I started)/cross pollinating, seedlings and grafting. I am recognized around the world for my work with this plant and have been flown to the US to do talks and demonstrations as well as to Australia, appeared on TV shows and radio for it as well. It keeps my mind busy and I get a lot of enjoyment from it, I also get a lot of queries about them from overseas and help many people, pics are 3 of my creations but I have well over 100, first is named after my wife, Golden Noi and it is well known around the world, second is Red Moon Rising and third is Dragon Breath.
  25. really shows what pt are really all about, themselves and their leader, they are in it for personal gain and are playing everyone else as fools. They have been saying how much they support move forward and then come out with this garbage showing it is all BS, last thing Thailand needs is pt calling the plays, may well be associated with thaksin returning and was their real play all along while lying to everyone as per usual.
