I use both Hang Dong and Sanpatong P.O.s regularly for registered Air Mail. I have yet to be asked for any form of I.D.

My grandweans all speak excellent English but are confused by technical terms.

I have to be careful to use pedantically correct English to them, no reverting to my native Ayrshire dialect although wife Who spent 25 years in Scotland understands me.

In five years a vacant piece of land near me has become so overgrown with self sown trees that some are already 3 metres tall and the bushy undergrowth is do dense that it needs a brushcutter just to walk through it. Think what can happen in 15 years. 

Al least plant some fruit trees, their shade will stifle a lot of unwanted growth.

Hua Hin seems to be unique in charging for this.  It's certainly a free service in Bangkok.

Chiang mai is free

Western or Thai style pizza?

Proper Italian.

 Every year between Christmas and New Year I take Grandweans out shopping and then to eat. Last year they wanted Shabu, before that, Sushi. This year they want Pizza. My preferred choice of restaurant closed during the Pandemic and has not reopened. 

Recommendation please for a good quality,not junk, Pizza in Muang Chiang mai or not far outside.

Not to forget the Arabic "Bangzib"

I come from a farming district. It is normal when selling beasts at auction, to put a reserve, i.e minimum acceptable price on the item(s) for sale. If the highest bid does not meet this expected price, then no sale. I can recall many occasions over the years when livestock was returned to the farm unsold.

Install a ''P'' trap.  

What is a "P" trap?

The floor drain in one of our bathrooms is emitting a stale smell. It is the room attached to our guest bedroom and is used infrequently so I suspect that it is caused by old water lying in it. I have put some caustic soda solution and later a lot of very hot water down it. This has improved things a lot but not completely eliminated the smell.

Suggestions and/or recommendations please to eradicated the smell.

Don't bother trying to grow any temperate vegetables. I tried it by getting seeds sent to me from a reputable seed merchant in the south of england. They germinated and grew well but none set seed. I suspect that the local pollinating insects could not recognise them.

Stick to local vegetables.

Lotus on the super highway had it today.

 

Lee & Perrins right next to the Thai version. I believe it was 95 baht per bottle and the Thai version was 60 baht for a bit larger bottle.

Thank you

I have one these birds close to my condo. For a small bird it can make a lot of noise and goes on all hours of the day and night.

 

 

 

I was about to make the same comment, but you bet me to it!

Loads of it on the shelves at Rimping Meechok, bought some 2 days ago. The local Trukey Brand orange label is a decent analogue of the real thing, much better that Kikkoman or others. 

 

And yes, this is the Chiang Mai forum so all you who post useless replies for Pattaya and stores that we don't have here just wake up and switch on your brains.

Thank you, I intended to point out that I am near Chiang mai

Where please?

I have been unable to find a new bottle. No luck in any Big C, Makro, Lotus or Rimping. No even in Green's.

Has any member seen it on sale anywhere?

I only want to cut 2 tiles.

Recommend me a tool shop in Chiang mai where I can buy an attachment to take tile cutting wheel.

Granddaughter wants to go back to university tomorrow, but all the buses to Chiangrai are fully booked. I will need to drive her
