Bamboo strips instead of plastic-ties and string. https://maps.app.goo.gl/PxAzzsXMdkM8qua76 The UV light here destroys nylon-ties in a few months, but these bamboo strips hold tighter as they age. Useful for your tomato and cucumber trellis

My Wise account still functions fine, but I already moved my funds here using Wise before this hassle occurred. Wise are clearly not trustworthy in my experience.

I opened my Wise account when they were TW and used my Thai residential address. No hassle at all until I moved down the road a few km, and tried to change my residential address on my Wise acc. To do this you have to show proof of address, so I scanned the same change of addess form that Thai Imm accepted and stamped. Wise refused to change my address, despite "Official Government docs" being listed as one acceptable means. I have tried several times, and received only rude template email responses. So my Wise account still shows the old WRONG address, and so I no longer trust or use Wise. Take note.

Joking aside, these rattan and bamboo song-bird cages are exquisite items in themselves, the price tag (of 399 baht for the largest round ones) belies the craftsmanship and labour that goes into each one. I keep a spare bird cage for the times when my cats capture a wild bird, and I manage to rescue the poor creatures. I pop them in the cage, hanging in a tree, and leave the cage door open so they can fly away after they've recovered. Not all do, but worth the effort nonetheless.

Blimey, 3 pages of noise, and the answer is simple. Get a source of genuine wholewheat flour, (or wheat grains plus a mortar and pestle) ... and make your own sourdough bread. Once you learn the knack of making the sourdough starter mix, and build a wood-fired outdoor bread oven, you won't buy another loaf of bread. Much better taste, texture, and your gut biome will flourish, keeping your insides tickling along.

A new แอกตะกร้าไม้ไผ่ is guaranteed to make her eyes sparkle again especially if you add a couple of these as well; Just be careful not to spoil her, or she'll be asking for new Wellingtons next!

Ahh that explains why all the white emulsion paint in side and outside of my rented house is flaking in platefuls. Plus no dampcourse was used, and we live right next to paddy rice fields! You'll have used a proper dampcourse I'm sure?

The world has found its voice at last.

Ahh! How refreshing to read decent brick-chat. It's wonderdful to create something... anything... from bricks. Excuse me whilst I muse on a new folly or two. PS. The business in the original post has built a tall brick house behind the shop, and it has a lovely fireplace. He showed me inside... superb.

The ubiquitous machine-extruded bricks flake, crack and crumble in a year or two, but these handmade bricks I used to make an outdoor bread oven, and rocket stove, are in daily use and good as new! https://maps.app.goo.gl/kkeRb7nMLAvRro8g7 I bought them from here, a few pennies each. It's a family run business, so support your local artisans. https://maps.app.goo.gl/kkeRb7nMLAvRro8g7

I built my own outdoor bread oven and rocket stove using handmade bricks from this place in Maechan, Chian Rai. The area is noted for the high quality of red-bricks local artisans make by hand. My oven is already years old, and bakes bread using these "fire-bricks", and they are still just like new. (From memory pennies each!)

Like most, I've used Wise for many years with no problems... BUT I've ceased using them now, after trying to update my residential address. No utility bills have my name on them, so are no use for ID. So I presented to Wise the Thai Immigration form, "Notification of Change of Address" properly stamped and accepted by Imm. Wise info says they accept Government docs as proof of address. The proof of change of address was rejected without explanation. When I contacted Wise about it, they simply ignored my polite and patient query. Repeatedly! My Wise account still shows the original (now wrong) address. With customer service like that, these folks cannot be trusted, though I've never had any problem with transfers of funds. Shame, but can do better.
