I don't see why you necessarily need to look for a female. I personally know of one young man who has been doing a terrific job exactly as you describe for over 9 years now.

Looks more like a Calabash to me......the hard shell is used many places as a container (bowl, etc.), and I believe only the very young fruit may be edible.

Your wife should go right ahead and get the insurance agency to deal with it. There will be no problem with the no-claim discount. I was hit-and-run side-swiped, with minor damages, once by a pickup on a sharp curve on Doi Inthanon on an out of the way road and did not even make a police report there, but when I took my CRV into Honda, they dealt with everything including police report, and there was no problem. Another time a car backing out of a parking bar in a tightly packed car park hit my car, the young lady called her insurance agent even before I could get there when called over the speakers to come to my car, he called my agent, and all was taken care of again. Neither case affected my no-claim status.

Yes, my passport was stolen when my purse/bag was stolen from my kitchen one evening while my husband and I were upstairs reading and had not yet locked up for the night--it was about 8p.m. It would be a long story, but the disappearance of my bag was not noticed till afternoon of the following day, and police were notified, but didn't begin serious search for the perpetrators until they (perpetrators) had returned 5 days later and stolen valuables --Rolex, computer, cell phones, etc. from another house while the resident was asleep--from right near his bed, at around midnight. The perpetrators were eventually caught, and wouldn't admit to entering and taking my bag since that would have been an added charge, but did say that if they had taken such a bag they'd have thrown it into the Ping 'cause there was nothing valuable in it. The passport was not at all the objective of the theft--just valuables to sell on for drug money.
When I went around getting all the docs, stamps, etc. needed at immigration after getting a new passport, the woman in charge at CNX immigration office where I had to have my most recent entry entered, then gave me a silly snide smile, and not knowing one fact of the situation, scolded me for not being careful enough with my passport.

I think for quite some time now in the U.S. and elsewhere, it has been established that "safety lime yellow' is safer for fire trucks, safety vests, etc. and it is mandated for use at airports in the U.S. I do hope this is the color they have in mind! Reflective stripes are a good idea also.
Have a look here:

Hi. I have no personal experience with such shipping by Thailand Post, but a good Thai friend (and I had heard of this otherwise also) sent her son's motorbike by post from CM to somewhere near BKK when he went off to college. She says it cost around 2,000~2,500 Bt. Actually, come to think of it, I have spotted a motorbike being readied to go in the shipping area of the PO. Your Ikea pkg. should be nicely packed for shipping already anyway.

You would do well to bring the dog in to the vet and get all the vaccinations and check for worms.
Good luck.
Exactly what I intended to say, and it bears repeating, not just 'liking'
Be sure to have rabies shot and the tags to show it.Indeed the dog will be grateful!

skype is free if you only call other people with skype.
Yes, in other words, computer-to-computer Skype. Calling to telephones is (used to be?) called Skype-out...if you check out your Account, or the Skype website you'll no doubt see that there are many more options these days.

Most no overtaking signs are there in part because no one sees or pays attention to merely a solid yellow/orange? line down the center of the road, to say nothing of the double solid yellow/orange lines (to tell the truth those become quickly blackened out) . Usually one can begin to overtake/pass when there is no more solid yellow/orange line or it becomes a broken line. I'm not sure I've ever seen a sign when there's no solid line......

You will receive by immediate email: 1. order confirmation, 2. welcome registration confirmation, and 3. another order confirmation notice with a tracking link. Then in a day or so you will receive an email that your order has shipped, with the same tracking link. My one and only order arrived the very next day after that before I could even think of tracking it! They of course wanted to know how to find my house, and if anyone was home or who was to receive it ( neighbor, maid, landlord, etc.), and to tell me about when, e.g. am or pm, it might be delivered. Of course I wasn't home, but my deaf hubby was, and there is a remote muu baan gate and a button in a guard house door....and my mobile was dying....and well, it came!
At least this was my experience with my 1st order with them.

Hi mls,
Yes this is a juvenile Asian Koel. Juveniles do not have red eyes. You certainly did a good job IDing it as a female as the main indication of that is the white spotting developing on its throat and breast.
Thanks for the rescue and the great nurturing you were able to provide!

First of all, your widest selection of litter would be found at Raksat Overseas pet shop on super highway, Lampang-bound exactly opposite the Yok baking supply store. And for me, the best brand is Cat's Best, from Germany. It's biodegradable, compostable, smells fresh, & has no clay for cats to lick and ingest. You can scoop out poop with almost no litter attached and dispose of in toilet, and scoop up clumps of pee 2-3 times a day to keep it lasting longest. With several cats there's a chance of it getting scratched and broken up. Have to be sure to maintain a good depth.....all cats of mine have loved to use our litter boxes....they come in from outside to go to the toilet, especially in the rainy season, of course.
Uhhh, BTW, need any more cats?

Walk down to warawot market and get the yellow bus that goes to Doi Saket, costs around 10 baht and will stop at the side entrance to Central Festival, On the way back you will have a choice of a red songtaew costing 20 baht or a yellow costing 10 baht.
Warorot Market. "O" pronounced as in "no"

This is a member of the Apocynaceae family, scientific name Alstonia scholaris . Some common names are Blackboard Tree (from Java), Indian devil tree, Ditabark tree, Milkwood pine, White cheesewood...in Thailand most people I have asked (jn Chiang Mai) have told me it's called Dtinbphet ตีนเป็ด ("Duck's foot") , but it's also called Payasattaban พญาสัตบรรณ or just sattaban to translate Devil tree.
When I first smelled it, I thought my Indian neighbor was cooking with cardamom, which is what it smells like to me. I love that fragrance, but you're right, it does get overpowering. Some Thai friends of mine don't like it at all. Anyway, at that time, after smelling it for several evenings in a row, I realized it couldn't possibly be my neighbor's cooking every day, and discovered it to be the big tree in my front yard! It's quite a messy tree later after seed pods release seeds on hairy tufts , and then even later when the dried pods keep falling in rain and wind.
Enjoy!

Lychee wood is not really that dark a red. Trees behind our house are cut back/down now and then, and a friend has recently bought Lychee wood for his new pizza oven. Not dark red.

The real scammers are the ones who told you there's a place called Tapia Gate.
Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app
sorry it went over my head....
It's best when posting important info to double check that place names are spelled correctly....only those familiar with CM would be likely to know that it's really Thapae Gate. To say "scammers' however, is a bit harsh.

I'm not clear on what's the best advice here:
Re the Airport Cards, I agree that the sole reference to filling in a VISA number can be very misleading, especially for many folks who have a years-old and no longer valid visa stamp, followed by many many annual extension of stay stamps.
But it's always been my understanding, for folks like that and myself too, that what we ought to be filling in on the airport card is the number from our latest extension of stay stamp for the current year -- more than the number associated with one's re-entry permit.
In my past experience, that seems to be what the Immigration Officers are looking for... when it comes to someone arriving back on a still valid extension of stay.
Agree. This is what my husband and I have been doing, after a year or two when we finally got it, and have never had a problem. Sometimes the numbers are pretty unreadable, though!

My husband was recently recommended to see Dr Pimreuthai by his cardiologist for symptoms which he exhibited. He has visited her 2 times, had entirely appropriate exam, brain scan, and diagnosis and a thorough explanation of the expected progression of his disease, medications and their efficacy and possible side effects. She is clear and confident, her English is superb, and she invites questions, and encourages the patient to make an appointment at any time he feels it necessary before the next scheduled appointment. We are both quite satisfied with this doctor thus far.
