You must have been looking at a different photo from me, the gas tanks I looked at were in the middle of the bus in the luggage holds, the engine on nearly all buses like this one are at the back of the bus, away from the gas tanks, someone on Thai tv on the evening of the accident was saying about brakes overheating, you could well say that the MB engine that was replaced would have been secondhand. A 50-year-old bus, normal in Thailand, it would have had a re-spray with some fancy design on it, a guy near me paints buses some of the designs are quite striking.

Not a good idea, one, you would need to speak Thai just to understand what is going on, and how the system works. But the main problem is, an organization like this would deal in rice by the 100/1000 ton lots, not your family's 30? ton at the most. If you want to improve your profit margin look at nish marketing of rice, like organically grown rice, try what Thai's call Khow -Gong, what we would call whole grain rice, and sell it on line, the wife brought some last week on line, the farm is sells it at 50baht/kg, a lot more that you would get from selling it to your local suppler.

A quick look at Google, if it is the same model, they is a small disc in the middle of the wheel ,I would say if you put in a small screwdriver that should leaver off ,giving you access to the nut on the wheel ,which should come off giving you access to the blade drive ,as you said probably dirt in they ,and some grease would not come a miss. You could look up your model on YouTube could well be a video on how to take it apart and clean it all up.

The wife is up at 5am, cooking food for the monks, they get to us at about 6.15 am, I am up at 5.30 am, we have a smallholding rearing few cattle, they what feeding, then a of tea, then when the wife is done, we are out cutting fed for the cattle, nonmale done by 7.30 am, then breakfast. For some years milked a head of cows in the UK, started milking at 6 am, so use to an early start.

It is almost the end of September; the rainy season normally goes on to the end of October. I am in Lopburi province, so far this year we have had very little rain, Wifes daughter and son in law are rice farmers and they are pumping water into their rice fields from a bore hole, not enough rain. Me writing this now will bring floods on now.

Tamarind trees a good idea...but they can grow we have one next to the house it has been they 10 years now ,now 12 meters high and still growing ,not the first time I have seen one come down in a strong gale ,the whole lot roots and all ,our one we are going to have to take the top out soon ,at least the roots do not grow long and get in the house foundations, what foundations they is with Thai house building. Eucalyptus ok but that can grow to 14 meters plus. I would go with bamboo, we have some as well, but they leave's when they fall get everywhere, the wife is always cleaning them up.

You will know the answer to this, Thailand has/had a very large reserve of foreign currence abroad, would this have any effect on the baht's strength?

Your pigs are not flying now, the wife left home at 8 .00am, come home at 10.00 am complete with 10 000 baht, she got for her disabled daughter. She did not register for the system, just used daughters disabled card. It proves, something in Thailand do work.

This subject has come up before, more than once, then as now they are some that work on their farm with basically no paperwork, I have been doing it for a good few year now along with other farangs. Last time someone wrote, and I can agree, they said, if keep yourself to yourself, lean to speak some Thia, help out with some of your neighbors, as well as getting on with, then you will be ok. I helped a local farmer calve one of his cows one evening he was well happy; I was in his good books. On our place everything is in the wife's name, you could say I am just a part time volunteer.

The Thai's use the English name for Mahogany, with an ascent on the word. I have some Mahogany, and Mie Dang, both very dry, and old, I use for wood turning, the Mahogany is hard, but the Mie Dang, red wood is a lot harder. As for finding Mahogany for sale ,looking around our local wood yards ,that sell both new and old timber ,the old wood mainly comes from old Thai houses ,never seen any Mahogany, have asked but always ,no, I would say it was chopped down and exported years ago ,basically non left ,I know of a few hard wood plantations in our area ,they have some mahogany trees growing, but it will be out grand/great grandchildren that will see the results of that. Mi -Khaeng -See-Dum ,I would translate as black hard wood, which could relate to Ebony.

97.60 percent The United Kingdom recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 97.60 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2023. 122.30 percent The United States recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 122.30 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2023. I know the Thai economy is far from good, and the future is not looking so good, but looking at the above, I think we are better off in Thailand.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 235 seconds  

A completely different ball game ,Tucksin's war was with the drug dealers selling Yar Ma, and Yar Bar, which as we all know cause a lot of problems all round. As the OP said the PM is trying to find a balance, not get the police on the street's guns blazing.

Do you still farm Napier at your place? Yes, in fact I just finished re- planting 1 rie this week, had to re plant as it died back in the hot season, just to hot this year. Planted a couple of rows back in July for root stock, it was 70 days old, about right for root stock. We are hoping that we do not get any flooding, our land is pron to flooding, just hope the new crop can grow before any flooding happen.

A look my Thai dictiony and asking the wife, I think Ebony in Thai is Mai -Ma --Glua.

This payment is going to disabled people, who will need it for sure, not just your Somchie in the street, I cannot see this having any effect on any market. If and when the rest of the populus get it that will probably have some effect on the markets.

I book direct, last time I was in the UK I had to change my flight date back, did it all online, and it did not cost me anything, you would not get that with an agent.

I will let you know if it happens, the wife's youngest daughter is registered disabled. So far, she has not been registered for the 10K, just using her disabled card, we shall see.

That brings back some memory's ,Dastaly and Mutly and co.

You are right, the undergro8nd lottery is almost a part of Thai tradition, a lot of money can change hand, it will always be they They have been talk about the government sell 2 and 3 numbered tickets, like the underground lottery does, one was not so long ago, but it has gone all quite again, it has been said there are some big players in the underground lottery, and they do not want they toes treading on, and are not for it, so nothing will happen.

It happened on his watch,at the time more than one person pointed (this is Thailand) a finger at him ,he should be on the list.

How will they get us Alian's to pay tax? quite easy, you will have to submit your tax form with your yearly extension paperwork, no tax form, no extension, job done. I am like a lot of people never have used an agent for anything, where I live in my rural area I would not know where to find one, I would say my tax bill, if they is one would be, compatible with what an agent would charge, it seems in our area you pay tax at your local Amphur, so when the time comes, I will just ask them, as I think I am about 1of not many farangs in the area, and they will not probably know about farangs paying tax anyway, should be fun.

Listening to the radio this morning this come up, my first thought was it Springfield where The Simpsons lived?, what Trump said, is about what one of the Simpsons would say.
