  1. 50km ,will that be first or second time round? on the speedo, the symptoms will be noise, nonmale not a problem, the drive belt may need replacing if it is first time round? 13 years old could be a slightly perished , give it oil and filter change, have a look at the air cleaner.
  2. I said bushes, not brushes, on each end of the motor shaft, are bushes, and as our resident sparky also said, those bushes dry out, Thais call them boots. And yes, I did know you cannot oil brushes.
  3. We have a problem with fans not spinning, most times it is the bushes on the motor running dry, I take the front and back covers off exposing the motor I just put a drop or two of 2-sroke oil into the bushes, and most times it works, did one a few months ago, still working well.
  4. That has been the vein of my life ever since the Morch bus terminal opened 25years ago now? getting they, coming up from the city by BTS, having to get off at Morchit , then a bus to the main terminal, with the BTS line just up the road why not put a station in for the bus terminal, ......answers on a post card to.....
  5. Yep, you are right, also you cannot just grow bananas in a rice field, they will just die, rice fields are designed to keep water in any waterlogging ,and the crop will die so the rice fields will have to be drained, not a cheap job, by far way beyond most rice farmers. As for exporting them to Japan, a joke does anyone know what bananas the Japanese like, it will not be the ones you buy from a roadside stall, they will want a specific variety, with no blemishes, the Japanese consumer is very fussy, something Thailand I would say cannot supply. This idea comes from the government, and what does a commerce's minister know about growing bananas, about as much as I know about brain surgery. Another idea that will never grow ..........like bananas for Japan.
  6. They will get they in the end, more than can be said for the UK's HS2 ,2019 costs 20.5 billion GBP, recent estimates Jan 2025, 49 billon GBP, and it will be at least 6 years over the original completion date, the section near me, Mortlec Saraburi is about done. Now, how cold not organize at rice pudding at Ambrosia.
  7. They is no way Zelensky should apologize to Trump, the cards were stacked against him ,as English is not his first language he normally has an interpreter ,I thought he did well just to understand what was going on , and hold his corner then as has been said ,what was Vance doing ,in times past the VP was seen and not heard ,it was two against one ,Zelensky did well . The icings on the cake which sums Trump up when he said, "This will look good on TV", more than one reporter on the BBC said the talks where stagged managed, the jury is out on that but knowing trump it could well have been. Tomorow Zelensky meet Stamar for a European submit that should be more civilized. Putin will have his feet up watching it all and smiling.
  8. Unless it has already been said, unless you treat the bamboo insets will eat the wood, first thing you will see will be heaps of dust everywhere. The Thai way of stopping insects eating at your house is to soak the bamboo poles in water for a couple of weeks, it breaks down the cellulose in the wood and the insets will not eat the wood. Old Thai saying, soaking it makes the wood smell and insect will not invade you, basically that is BS . If you, want to go ahead with this project why not buy a readymade house, this one's made of Teak, not cheap less expensive ones around, just move it to your site, you will need to build a bathroom, of sorts.
  9. It is all right bring back seeds from our own countries, but it is another thing getting them to grow here in Thailand, this subject has come up before members bring back seeds they like from they own country, only to find they do not grow here ,just too hot ,or the local pests and funguses get them .i.e. can anyone grow potatoes ?,I have tried with no luck at all. You would be better off just buying local seeds and growing them.
  10. An electrical fault,was it Som Chie doing the job on the cheap.
  11. Our washing machine lives outside this one must be 7 years old now, so far, no problems, one thing when the wife has finished the wash cycle, she will lift the drain pipe up. Our first machine we did not lift the rain pipe, and one day the machine would not empty, got the guy out, problem was small toad crawled up the pipe blocked the pipe .so water would not drain, hence lifting the waste pipe up. A problem you would not have if the machine was inside, also the machine is next to the garden, wife has extension water pipes about the place, that pipes the wastewater around the fruit trees in the garden, works well.
  12. Semen from other countries is imported into Thailand, now mainly from the USA. I used to know a Thai dairy farmer who use to go to Australia and bring back semen in a small 5-liter flask, himself, he could bring back a good few hundred straws, he then uses to sell them on to farms. This was 10 years ago, I would say the rules and regs have not changed much. You could as the Thai guy did, just go yourself, I do not know if you have any semen tanks, if not you can get them in Thailand a 3-liter tank would cost about 16000-baht, paperwork you seem to have covered, vaccines that would Foot and Mouth , now may be Lumpy Skin? which I think?? Australia does not have. Importing embryos, not my field, but I would have thought that could be done yourself like semen, but the problem would be finding someone here to do the implants. All the best.
  13. I looked at 3 words,high court barister, those costs are going to make big hole in 400k, she must been told that and she still wants to go on with the case,gold digger.
  14. Bor-Kor-Sor The Transport Co. have a call center 1490, they will tell you about routes and times.
  15. We have checked the wind direction ,for the past 2 months ,with the cool weather it has come from the East, from where Cambodia is, look at the weather map. In my area, a big sugar cane area, most cane is cut by machine ,no burning before hand ,in fact farmers have been saying ,the que for a machine to cut their cane is long, the sugar mill is going to say open longer ,to receive the cane, so farmers do not burn the cane ,and then get cutters in ,famers are afraid the mill will shut before they can send they cane in.
  16. I have used the PO, I wanted to send 50 kg of sesame seed to Issan, PO said max weight was 25kg, so I just put it in 2, 25 kg sacks, got they in 3 days. You will have to break it down into 3 boxes, or whatever, as has been said, not expensive. Kerry are the same, max wight 25kg.

  18. Thanks for the replies, also thought it was just after departure immigration to , could not see it last time I went though, hence the post, saves me a trip to my local office.
  19. Hi all. I am leaving next week, I would like to know if the immigration counter is still open for a reentry visa, I could do it before I leave but trying to save myself best part of half a day, by not going to my local immigration office. Thanks
  20. Correct, they is one near me, known as Moo Bann Thucksin, Thucksin's village you paid 500 baht/month for 25 years and got your house. When the coup come only half of the houses were built, that was then, still now a half derelict sight with half the houses still left from then, the then military government just stopped work over night, anything Thucksin was just left. See photo, taken 4 years ago
  21. It will be at least April, end of, before you will get any major rain, you are like us, cental plains, with the cool weather lasting a long time this year, the Eastly wind is just drying everything up, our grass field has more cracks in it than on top of my old gran's fruit cake,all the gras has dried up, and it is not yet even the start of the hot season.
