How long is she going to be there, are their activities arranged each anf everyday ? 

10 days, but I was looking for a per diem figure. I believe she will be occupied with educational activities most of the time with a day or two free at the end. Thank for such a quick response.

I am not sure which forum to post this, mods please move if necessary.

My 16 year old grand daughter is going on a school trip to the London area in 2 weeks time. Accommodation in a college dorm., all meals and all educational excursions are included, so she only need some spending money. I have promised to provide this, but I am so out of touch with UK. (especially South of England prices) that I am unsure of how much to give her. I do not want to get into a bidding war (no my Grandpa is richer than yours scenario).

Advice please, from those members more in touch than I am. How much per day.

NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen)are issued for the guidance of pilots.Unfortunately  I have known many pilots who have expressed surprise, even outrage at an unexpected encounter and when the Notam has been pointed out to him admitted he had not read it.

In my experience, many pilots treat a NOTAMed restriction as a nuisance.

My current primary concern is how the blokes who drive the snowploughs get to work...

An anecdote concerning snowploughs,(not really relevant to here). Back in the 1960s Ayr County council kept a snowplough in our village but the lorry to push it was kept in a depot in Ayr. This resulted in the plough and its  lorry being on opposite sides of the  drifts.

Edit to above post. I think the journalist has used the latitude for Suwarnapoom. Ignorance or carelessness?

The figures do not add up. Chiang mai is close to 19deg. North. The sun takes 1/4 of the year to travel from Equator to the Tropic of Cancer which is close to 23.5 N. Therefore the Sun moves 1 deg N in 4 days. The Sun will reach overhead 4x4.5 days before the solstice i.e. 18 days from June 21st= 3rd June!

14th May is 38 days before the solstice. 38 days divided by 4 = 9.5  deg south of the tropic = 14N. somewhere about Saraburi. My figures are approximate for clarity.

Go to the local market and see if any trader is selling them.

Will the owners of the stolen bikes get them back?

My sister in law is a trained masseuse. She is brutal, but if you can endure an hour with her you will feel better.

I like a strong cheese. Mature Cheddar or stronger. I used to buy mine from Greens Food and Drink opposite Kad Farang, but they have been out of stock for months and are now closing.

 Tops used to have "Seriously Strong" in small amounts at a high price but no longer stock it. Makro, Rimping and the other supermarkets have Dutch or Italian cheeses which are too mild for my taste or that processed excuse for a cheese from USA or Australia.

Has anybody in Chiang mai area seen a decent cheese for sale recently?

The telephone number is +44 0800 731 0469. Be prepared for a long menu and equally long wait for somebody to answer you. Then may be told that you have the wrong extension and you have to redial .  Good luck

I am underwhelmed!

Failing any specific advice of a particular condo/apartment, I would suggest using Renthub website. They have search by BTS/MRT stations and list daily/monthly rates. Many filters to aid in search of suitable accommodations.

Here are search results for the MRT station you mentioned.

Consider a few nights at one of the daily rentals for your grand daughter, then let her pick what she likes.  Plenty of rooms available.  Going to be an adventure for her.

Good luck
 

That looks promising, I will inform her.

About 20 years ago I had a lecture fro a group of american feminists who informed me that men were already redundant because a woman could give another woman much better and longer lasting orgasms than any man ever could.

At the end of May my grand daughter is going to Bangkok to do a three month internship in Yanhee Hospital,  near Bang O station on the Blue Line Bang Phlat district. She will need a room near the hospital without food which she can get at the hospital.  She originally intended to share with a friend but that has fallen through, so we are looking for a cheap room for a single woman in her early twenties.

Are there any members living near there who can offer advice?

Water, if necessary add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar to a half litre.

Eight hours of moderate rain last night has produce a marked improvement today bu tit may only be temporary.

I am using Firefox on Linux Mint 20. Yesterday, Firefox installed a new version automatically (as I have it programmed to do) but the new version has eliminated the AD Blocker. All the free Ad Blockers I can find for Firefox come from subscription VPNs. I want a simple AD Blocker such as the one that used to come with the old version of Firefox. Advice please.

In June, 16 year old granddaughter is going on a school excursion to London. Accommodation will be in a college dormitory and food and trips paid in advance. I have promised to give her spending money.

I am out of touch with UK costs especially London. Request recommendations on how much per diem to give her.
