  1. trouble is lke most contractors in Thailand they will do it the cheapest way possible, you only have to look at how roads collapse within 6 months due entirely to cheap material/not following any specs. How often do we see building etc collapse during construction, the bridge that collapsed because they used second hand/used material on it, for thais profit is number one, you have to cut as many corners as possible to make more money, screw the safety factors and peoples lives
  2. if its fresh/only a few days old you only need to soften & remove the top skin and then wipe off with thinners. Paint(oil) will take a over a month to fully harden/cure and then you should be able to scrape it off and again use thinners to remove any left overs, trouble is thais refuse to use drop sheets or remove switch cover etc and just paint everything, when I painted my wifes units shop I had thais watching me use drop sheets(I am a painter & decorator retired by trade) as they thought I was crazy, Thai painters are not trades people and have never done an apprenticeship etc, they are simply brush hands with no idea how to do it properly same as virtually every building trade as well as many others in Thailand.
  3. not sure if this is the correct place for this so move if it isnt. We recently had a cabin/storage area built on one of our blocks of land, there was a car port there already but the tin roof was only used material, we had the builder extend it another 6 mtrs so it was 12 mtrs x 3.5 mtrs, had a new roof put on plus had the walls bricked in/rendered along with windows, doors and a bathroom. I started to put plastic caps on the ends of the exterior steel work and realized the roof had not been screwed down properly, you could lift sections of it up including where the tin panels over lapped so they seperated. There were only 4 or 5 runs of screws in the whole length(not every 80 or so cm) with either 5 or 6 screws in each run( in some only 1 screw per sheet, not 1 every 2nd ridge) so that the panels just lifted up, unfortunately my wife had already paid the builder all the money before I found this out and now we need the roof screwed down properly before we get strong winds or it will be just ripped off. I need to know if there is anyone we can go to to have the builder fix it properly or have him charged for ripping us off, in Australia I would have recourse but here I have no idea, any help would be appreciated.
  4. england made the rules and are now whinging when they are applied despite the fact they have done exactly the same thing(even a couple of days prior it was attempted by bairstow) in the past to remove batters, shows how pathetic they really are, even their coach who is whinging did the same thing to get players out when he was playing. Problem is their bazball BS is falling apart and as its designer they cannot handle the fact they are being beaten by a better team, shortened boundaries so they could hit more fours, flat deck to try to stop the aussie bowlers has all proven useless so now all they can do is whinge and cry about it when the aussies do the same things they have done/tried in the past.
  5. I got my yellow book in Surat Thani with no problems but when we moved to our new house in Kanchanadit and tried to get a new one issued for that house the Kanchanadit office refused to do so, when we tried to explain I needed it for my yearly extension they refused to listen even after telling them that the immigration office had told us I needed it to change my house address to where I was living but because they refuse it means I have had to use our other house address every year(pics and all) with the extension instead of the new house, as usual every thai govt office has their own rules and refuse to work with other govt offices so I am just using my old yellow book
  6. great to see some common sense coming out of Pheu Thai, they need to realize that they are not the primary party and cannot just demand as they please but wouldnt mind betting they have made sure they will get gains elsewhere. Unfortunately most thia parties are in it for the money, they need their noses in the right trouphs
  7. oxidation effects the surface paint and as cars should have several layers of paint usually a good cut and polish will remove it. I had to do this on a couple of my cars in Australia, a good cutting compound follower by a good quality polish always brought them back
  8. look at me look at me, what a total cretin this idiot is, just wants to be in the spot light, has the brains of a flea and does what ever he is told/paid to do
  9. did a wise transfer yesterday, no problems and money went straight through too
  10. really have to wonder how much he is being paid to do this, you can bet that a certain big wig is behind this as they do not want Thailand to move forward and stop all those making money off the misery of the people, last thing they want is a pm that will stop their greed, the cronyism and graft
  11. thats because us non US people are not rusted on sheep that vote without using real facts and not following their parties rule books, we actually read all news reports so we have a much better understanding of what is happening and not just believe what our one sided media are saying because we know most of it is lies and innuendo. Tug you really are living up to your name mate, refusing to accept the truth in many situations, trump & biden are past it, desantis is actually trying to make it safer for kids and stop the far left garbage being promoted in schools, if you have not actually seen what is happening then you have closed your eyes to it, I have read some of the books, watched videos of the teachers etc and they are too far left, I have no problem with gay people as most do not but I do have a problem with teachers trying to get young kids to change their gender, learn about gay sex and how to "swallow" as well as many of the lies being propagated about US history but then I have an open mind that is not stuck on any one political party
  12. Wifes mum has severe cancer and is in hospital, she cant poo or pee by herself and her kidneys have shut down now as well, they want us to take her home to take care of her and bring her back for appointments which take around 6 hours to get to see the doctor as necessary. They say she doesnt have long to live but are reducing her to be in severe pain etc at home where no one can do anything for her, this has to be the most pathetic medical care I have ever heard of, even in the hospitals the nurses do nothing for the patient and family has to do everything, feed, give drinks, tell the doctor whats wrong, change colostomy bags & nappies etc and sleep on the floor of a night as well, Thailand really is a third world country that cant even take care of their people properly, nurses are there purely for show and doctors are useless, never been so angry at a hospital, this is pathetic
  13. its always who you know thats gets you up the ladder faster or what you do for them, looking at all her side lines its amazing she is even allowed to be in the force let alone in a high position as she spends most of her time doing work for herself so she would have to have a very accommadatiing senior
  14. hahahahahaha, strangely all the ones that come in to go off about trump are silent now their gloroius leader is being exposed, US politics is a joke at best, they are all in it for themselves and all are crooked as a dogs hind leg. Biden is just doing what all the others do/have done but looks like now he has been caught out, will we see a second president being charged and facing the courts
  15. have seen it many times, thais do not like to pay for something they can get for free, buy a new computer/laptop they load it up with pirate ware, see the screens in many govt offices & businesses with pirate windows as well as other programs on them, its extremely common here. I make sure I always have registered programs on my computers and my wife asks me why I pay for them when I can get them or nothing, says it all really
  16. you can see all these overloaded trucks etc lining the side of the road in the late afternoon waiting till they get the all clear, have seen them many times waiting to hit the highways, the way they overload some of these trucks is that dangerous it isnt funny but it certainly is a good money winner for the police involved and they simply dont care about any consequences as long as they are paid
  17. the last thing many politicians and their cronies want in Thailand is an honest govt that is there for the people and not to make them richer. This is what they are fighting, even their so called partners are a part of these suspect players that only look at what they can get out of it, honesty & integrity in Thailand politics is simply not allowed , it stops the lining of their pockets.
  18. unfortunately over use tends to fry your brain, I know several people in Australia that are incappable of holding any sort of solid communication for any period of time because their brain is unable to do so, one is my younger brother and all are from using weed way too heavily, he will just go blank mid sentence and space out. While it can help in controlled doses(helped me get off opoids) it is not the be all and end all these people are trying to claim, all they see are the dollar signs and dont give a flying fig about anyones health. The only way to go is govt controlled and not letting these cowboys sell it willy nilly to whoever has money to pay for it.
  19. saw it yesterday on the way to Krabbi, truck had 2 plus metres on load sticking out the back of the tray on bent metal supports, was way too high as well, went through the weigh station without any problems
  20. hahahahahaha, so p*ssed off she was dumped by her state and her party, would do & say anything to stay in power, the sort of person that would stab anyone in their back if she thought it would help her. What a total joke of a woman and politician, she is definitely more of a dem with all her lies and made up garbage, thought she was something she isnt and never will be and has been caught out with all her lies and innuendo.
  21. if it is regulated and sold through licenced agents it is fine, it is all those trying to make a quick buck out of selling it illegally that cause the problems. I gave it away many years ago although I did use "cookies" to help me get off opoids after 20 years of taking them for pain, I would often help friends trim up their plants as I quite liked the smell of their variety, very fruity and used the trim to make the cookies. Adults are fine and as long as they dont drive after using(same as alcohol) & should be left alone, kids are a different matter as they are the ones the illegal growers aim for. Make it legal and regulate who can sell/buy it, currently there are a lot of stoners everywhere as no one is following the regulations and there are way too may growers trying to make fast money from it
  22. really have to wonder who is paying this imbeciles way to do their dirty work, what a joke of a man, has no idea of anything other than what he is told to do, how do these idiots even get elected.
  23. the answer is simple, as soon as they would get them they would invite china to come and go through them to steal any of the "secrets" used to build them, china would probably be the ones paying for them in the first place and Thailand would just be a front for china their masters. Have to wonder why the pm said it is up to the new govt if they buy the subs but is whinging about the F35's, shows where his loyalties lie and its not with Thailand
  24. when you consider that she could not give a date etc of when it happened and the judge told trumps lawyers they could not question her on where it happened in the store you really have to wonder at this not being a complete set up by the dems. Her action was paid for by a bilionaire far left idiot that has close ties to democrats/soros and they could not supply anything other than hearsay as evidence that it even happened, makes it impossible to even defend ones self if the so called victim does not have to supply dates and where it happened, only democrat idiots would think this is any form of justice
