if you fill up you should hear the cut out when its full even from inside your car, the clunk is that loud you cant miss it. For their gauge to be turning over there would have to be something coming out of the nozzle, asking them for a set amount of fuel to be put in the tank when you went back would have sorted it, if the fuel went in then the tank was not full, pulling the nozzle back so you could see if anything was coming out would also have sorted it, Did you try filling at another petrol station and if so how much went in

china only cares about china, they dont give two hoots for any other country and simnply use them to benefit themselves. Doesnt help when Thsiland just bend over and takes it from them either, those in charge are more interested in what they can personally make out of it rather than what happens to the country, personal wealth is simply more important, last thing those in charge want to do is upset their masters and lose their pay packets

they pick you up and drop you off at the airport so they are certain they know your where abouts so they can organize their other men for when you are not around, takes some doing when they have more than 2 men on the go but if they organize it well they can make a nice little nest egg. Stop giving them dates of your arrival back in Thailand and watch them start to panic

the +66 is the country code, dont need it if you are already in Thailand

we have had kerry do this as well, they claim they cannot call you but they never tried in the first place, to save face they lie, I have had other couriers do it as well, they do not want to look bad so say they called when they never did. I have had frozen food thaw and have to be tossed because the courier kept lying about calling, 3 days after it was supposed to be delivered they showed up. Problem is the actual end deliverer, if you are a bit out of the way they keep putting you off but have to admit since I did a huge song & dance to the various couriers about it and how their drivers are a pack of a holes and are simply making excuses because they are too lazy to deliver we now get deliveries from them all on time, took a lot of bitching and really going to town on them but it has worked

my medicare card expired years ago and they will not issue a new one as I do not live in Australia anymore, the address I was living at before I moved over here many years ago agreed to just forward my mail to me but the owner had a blow up with his wife and when my new medicare card arrived she sent it back as no longer living at this address, now I am unable to get a new card

once again we see the rich and well to do getting away being arrogant bastar&s and the police doing nothing about it, loss if licence a huge fine and even crushing the car should all be on the table for what this animal did, they risked someone elses life to get their jollies and show their arrogance. Typical Thailand really, these rich/well to do idiots can kill people and the police just lie down or should I say bend over for them, shows again how pathetic thai police really are

how many times do we see bike riders flying down near the inside of the left lane between cars/trucks and the footpath/gutter because they dont want to slow down. The amount of times I would have had the car door torn off or my arm damaged by a bike rider if I hadnt checked first is staggering, they simply dont care or think about it, they see a space and just go for it, a turning car/truck just doesnt stop them trying to get through before they block the space. Speed and not wanting to stop for anyone else is the problem, the lack of thinking at times also doesnt help, I have even had bike riders on my left hand side try to do a uturn/right turn across the front of my car while I am moving forwards at traffic lights, they just think they can do as they please and everyone else will stop for them

Is anyone else getting hundreds of emails from [email protected] and 126.com, this morning I had over a hundred emails from these email addresses in 2 of my email folders, it is chinese based spam and apparently it happens to other email users a lot. The only english is the email address, everything else is chinese scratchings, I have adjusted my allowed emails with my servers so hopefully it will not happen again but wondered if others have also been targeted

days have been definitely hotter than usual, also all the unseasonal rain storms do not help either, by this time of the year our dam is usually almost dry but this year it is virtually overflowing and has been for weeks. Just 30 minutes outside and I am soaking wet, never happened before this year, the usual weather patterns appear to have changed a lot, making it hard to plan ahead with the trees and what we normally do in the dry season

started posting originally when I was looking at coming over & trying to find out more about living here, then when I did move here I found some of the posts pretty informative (especially immigration & laws) and others a good laugh. These days the same thing applies but it also gives me a chance to vent any frustrations at some of the things that happen here a lot plus help others when I am able to, still lots of laughs though and still some good advice when needed, it also gives me something to do when having my morning coffee, really have to thank many of the members for making it an enjoyable way to fill in some time

being called a farang doesnt bother me at all but the way it is said by some can be very agressive and demeaning, its all in the way it is used, not the word itself

really have to wonjder how stupid people are to travel during covid when they know that if they test positive they will be isolated, the fault lies fully with them for their total ignorance of the possibilities. I know a person that decided to travel to several countries during the same period as this and ended up in Cuba where she tested positive for covid, she then started to whinge about it when she was the one that ignored the fact that covid was more prevalent in third world countries. Only total drop kicks would even think about travelling to other countries that have the testing etc like Thailand during a pandemic then having a whinge when they were found to have covid, should have thought more about it before travelling

I tried to change my yelllow book form our other house to the new one after immigration queried why my current address was different to the yellow book, while the current yellow book office said no problems they would cancel it the local office where we live now said they would not issue one to me at all and to maintain the current yellow book for the other address, as with everything else in govt offics it all depneds on the local officers as to what they consider the regulations to be

a big part of the brown outs is due to the electricity companies attempt to save as much money as possible by not having as many transformers as they should. We complained to them that we were constantly losing power, they did nothing, I went looking for the closest transformer, none within 1 klm yet there are 6 houses within 200 meters of us with another 20 or so a bit further away, when we asked why there was no transformer close by they said if we wanted one we had to pay for it ourselves then all the other houses would benefit as well but not have to pay, only us. Unfortunately this is how it works here, its all about profits, the less you have to spend on equipment and maintenance the more profit you make, until us and a few neighbors built our houses here the wires to our area were slung through tree branches, we had to pay for them to errect power poles

also doesnt help when the bikes/side cars do not have tail lights, the police really need to come down hard on the BS lack of tailights by bikes as it is almost impossible to see them on dark roads at night especally when the riders are dressed in dark clothes. The car may well have been speeding but no tail lights on the bike would be a big part of the crash as well and where abouts on the road was the bike for the car to hit the side car, would have had to be in the middle of the road maybe the bike rider was off their face as well or clowing around

would love to see them do a crack down on all the unroadworthy cars/trucks/bikes on the road not just the exhaust systems, I have seen pick ups with the sides tied together because they are rusted out and no longer attached to the beds, when they do any turn at all the sides swing out away from the bed. That many unroadworthy vehicles on the road that just makes it all the more dangerous especially combined with the way many thai drivers/riders think/drive, they need to do more than just check exhausts but that would require the police to actually do what they are paid for

I updated about 2 months ago, it works well but is not quite as user friendly and a bit harder to do/find things when you first use it. You will need to alter the menu so programs you use often are listed, you will also have to get rid of all the garbage programs they automatically add to it, they have made it harder to utilize some programs, downloading multiple pics from a camera is no longer straight forward and you have to search to find/change some items that were easily accessed in 10, Over all it runs well and if they fix up some of the issues using programs etc it should be pretty good but they havent had a decent windows since xp, that was a great program. You dont lose any programs/files etc on the change over but you do need to tweak a few afterwards, all up it was easy to upgrade

yesterday an overseas payment was taken from my account and I have a few that come out regularly, where did this info come from as it appears to not be the case if payments are still being taken from my Bangkok bank account

the mere fact that these people have any illegal land should be enough to charge them all, there is no excuse for doing illegal acts especially when you are part of the govt. Again we see thai law covering up for certain people, shows just how pathetic thai law/courts/justices really are, law will never be applied equally in Thailand, its all a matter of your family name, your wealth and your circle of friends/aquaintences, the law has no part in it.

its been very hot here in Surat Thani on many days, we just stay inside with he air con running, 5 minutes outside and your clothes are drenched in sweat. The biggest problem we are having is all the rain, generally this time of the year with the dry we can do work on our trees but with all the rain its been impossible, we have even had a few days where we have seen water levels get way too high and flooding has occured throughout the district, hopefully the wet season will not have much more major flooding.

we bought a nissan navara calibre sportech 4 door (not 4 wheel drive) 3 years ago, it enables us to do all the necessary work around our land etc as well as being an extremely comfortable car to drive on long road trips. We didnt need a 4wd nor did I want one, this car is perfect for what we wanted, nissan are very reliable, in fact we have just replaced the wifes toyota work truck with another nissan 2 door truck. Our calibre is very reliable, enough room in the carry tray for everything we need to do at our land, interior is very comfortable, it is really great to drive and looks pretty good as well, the wifes toyota hilux was a top of the range model and the nissan is a lot better comfort and driving wise.

anyone that tries to sexualize/influence young children to their own way of thinking needs to be charged and put away, young children should never be influenced into making sexual decisions when their mental capacity is not mature enough to do so. Telling these children to then not let their parents know what the teachers are doing shows the teachers are well aware what they are doing is not right, they are simply pushing their own sexual preferences onto these kids for their own gratification with no thought to the well being of the children themselves. Being gay is a personal choice, when kids are mature enough they know what they want, same with gender disphoria, pushing these things on to young minds that are not capable of understanding it all is simply wrong but with the woke brigade taking over we are seeing just how far the extreme left can push to get their own way with no regard for anyone that does not think like them even though they are in the minority, democrats have a lot to answer for. The only ones approving of them doing this to kids in most cases have no kids of their own or put their own personal sexual satisfaction above that of children or anyone else. I am fast losing all the regard I have had over many years for the gay community pushing this garbage, all the gay people I have known over many years would never have approved of this, they had morals and would never try to interfere with children or the way they thought, shows just how demented the ones aproving of this really are

china want Thailand more in debt so they can take over the country and do with it as they please, same as in other countries they have done this too

mate, we built another house on the other side of town on our land that is one level and small, makes a big difference to the 2 story house, no stairs is a life saver, the daughter has the big house
