^ Yes Global charges by the kilometer. As I was some considerable distance away, I bought the same refrigerator

for Baht 10k less and free delivery from NihomPanich beside Toyota dealer on Chotana.

^ I sympathize....I'd be having nightmares for ages: Not sure what I would do were it my pet.

^ Yes that's what they recently quoted me. Probably sourced locally for less.

^ I agree. A nice drive on a pleasant highway to a pleasant locale.

I wouldn't buy here after the coup.

You won't buy here because they are finally doing some thing about the corruption?

That can be taken several ways.

Any particular reason? do hope you are not saying you needed all the corruption in order to buy.

I won't buy for several reasons and one of the main one's is I think the bubble is going to burst.

"....one of the main one's is I think the bubble is going to burst."

People have been thinking / saying that for the last two decades; bubble-burst- seriously doubtful.

I'm surprised he didn't take a trip on the wild side to Isaan especially Kohn Kaen to witness their love of uncooked fish paste, despite exposure to the carcinogenic liver fluke. Mind you, simply adding field crab to one's somtam anywhere might also prove deadly over time.

Oh well, may be next time.

If the roof is flat it will eventually leak unless (even if ??) there is a sizable slope. An unrelenting sun takes its toll on waterproofing / rubber materials, galvanized steel and even concrete.

In the meantime try an appropriate Sika product, solid dependable products:

There is a store, across from and west of the CMU Pharmacy sales building, on Suthep dedicated to all sorts of containers. A wealth of sizes, shapes and materials. Inexpensive.

Yes, they are likely to have the 100ml size.

It's a shop house, not well marked, so a short 'walkalong' is in order to pinpoint it.

Someone labelled the watch as "tacky".

I agree.

Any kid could cobble together a similar watch in no time with a Meccano Set.

16-yr old Texas teen gets 10 years’ probation for causing a DWI wreck that killed four people and devastated three families late 2013:

No mention that these private, and international for that matter, educational institutions pay no business taxes, I'm told. That's why there is such a proliferation of them.

Recently poachers are resorting to poisoning the watering holes of numerous elephant herds, then de-tusking those with tusks, but killing all elephants including babies. Other vast quantities of wild fauna succumb too.

I had read somewhere, but can't find the source, stating the British Army has affiliated sniper teams with helicopters, to affected nation(s) to search out,capture or kill the poachers.

Now for a solution to the inhumane slaughter of dogs in Asia....

All packers in the Canadian Forces, chosen at random, are each required to jump with a stick of jumpers.

The secret to keeping any motorcycle, or auto, running well for years apart from regular maintenance, is regularly changing fluids.

Have them use an air compressor while the engine is still warm to remove the micro-metallic sludge clinging to the bottom; watching to ensure they do so.

If you rent or ride a motorbike without a valid motorcycle licence (home country or Thai) you will not be covered in case of accident.

If you are hospitalized because of an accident with a m/c as rider or as passenger, even with a proper license, you may well NOT be covered, or only partly covered. Best read the fine print!

I have travelled this route many times. To avoid the traffic especially vans, we usually begin at 0500-0600hrs as the light begins to dawn which is a safety-plus. A speed of 80-90kph safely navigates the bends.

it is going to happen as a lot of empty places to rent,and many more being built.so it will happen but when is the question

Not so sure about your wishful 'will happen'.

Been here over two decades, and given various scenarios where one might be tempted to speculate that a property bust 'will happen', nothing of the sort has ever materialized.

The Thai owners would rather sit on the empty property for years rather than sell at a loss, and the loss they calculate is from current market prices.

Thai buyers prefer to purchase new.

If you are now thinking of buying a home or condo 'on the cheap' in Chiangmai or even its outskirts, it's too late; you've missed the proverbial boat.

Why didn't Yoda tell her instead of just standing there?

I'll have you know she's the daughter of the most famous pathologist in Thailand, Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand.

Saw this ad in the most recent Chiangmai Christian Community Classifieds (CCCC):

• (New) Bunkbeds - Bunkbeds for sale. Dark wood. In great shape. Comes with two mattresses and ladder. 14,000 baht. https://plus.google.com/100453650168422886025/posts | --> Call Rhoda at 093 304 2594 (01/10)

As with all classifieds,'Caveat Emptor' applies.

^^ 'To me it's the one of the worst crimes, wildlife crimes.'

I agree wholeheartedly; and wildlife crime seems to be increasing, especially against elephants ( and collaterally damaged wildlife) where poisoning their water sources is a new evil.

#6 Yes, the Lysol smell has finally affected the manufacturer who have turned to a fragrant brand...like apple and cinnamon (not sure), but seen and available only in North America it seems.

^ '...consider some stronger glass, tempered or laminated.'

Definitely go with D99's suggestion, and consider too, a tan colored glass - it does not show the fingerprints as readily, hides any blemishes in the wood, and to my eye looks a lot classier than ordinary glass.

#1 '...one of the rubber engine mounts that needed replacing'

As an aside, it is my understanding that all rubber engine mounts are replaced even when only one appears to need replacing. FWIW.

#20 Re:

"...It is something that should be purchased as soon as you arrive, when you're still fairly young and healthy, so you can wait out the normal 2-5 year restriction on excluding pre-existing conditions."

Is it true that pre-existing conditions have a time lapse in their restriction, apart from chronic illnesses?

If so it has never been applied to me with decades having been insured with Blue Cross. I had a Meniscectomy in college 40 years ago as a result of twisting my knee on take down during rugby. I've since had a long military career, teaching career and skied/ jogged for years without problems.

Because the initial insurance form wanted disclosure of any pre-existing conditions, I mentioned the Meniscectomy. Blue Cross and others continue to exclude any and all joint coverage despite this having occurred two-to-four decades previously - two decades when first taking out their medical coverage, to the present.

Insurance agencies seem to consider all pre-existing conditions as continuing. Any thoughts?
