  1. Wood carving by Phadung, Nam Bo Luang. Try him.
  2. The real reason is the threat to the Thai Tobacco Monopoly!
  3. I got the same thing in Chiangmai in June last year. When I turned up with the requested forms etc. in Sept the clerk handed them back and told me they were not needed.
  4. Short ankle length trousers!
  5. I do not know much about citrus trees, but I have come across other fruit trees which are not self fertile and need a companion to produce fruit. Another thought , could your tree be a male?
  6. You should declare it at check in. The airline may decide not to seat you beside an emergency exit in case you obstruct its use. On the other had it may decide to upgrade you to a better seat
  7. My wife and her whole family are all Taksin supporter s
  8. Trump really believes he is a Messiah!
  9. That worked , many thanks!
  10. Using Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon I have been unable to get the upgrades installed. After entering my password, the Error Message below appears. I do not understand what it means, I have opened a Terminal and entered "dpkg --configure -a" but the machine returns "command not recognised", How do I proceed? E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
  11. That is an old trick, I was shown it by my joiner grandpa . He died in 1968
  12. UV and Infrared are at opposite ends of the light spectrum, which do you want?
  13. Two years ago I had one eye done in Sanpatong hospital for 23000 baht. This included 2 nights stay in hospital (unnecessary in my view) and a followup examination one month later. This compares with "approx 100000baht" in Suan Dok and 120000 in St. Peter's
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Proper Italian.
  18. 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.
  19. He is skating on very thin ice. I hope his life insurance is up to date
  20. Not to forget the Arabic "Bangzib"
  21. 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.
  22. What is a "P" trap?
  23. 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.
