I hadn't noticed that bit?

The pump price of fuel has not changed in at least 3 months

Relax, it only lasts a few days. My neice had it some years ago and recovered fully in about two weeks.

Milk the other cow and feed the calf from the bucket. If it will not drink from the bucket, use a baby's bottle frequently until it can.

I saw this done as a wee boy in Ayrshire (well known Dairying county.)

I have done 7 extensions at Chiang mai and never had my funds checked after the issue of the "under consideration" stamp. I was once told that I had to produce an updated bankbook on getting my extension stamp at the end of the "under consideration" period, but on turning up with the bankbook and printed copies, the official dismissed them with the question "what are these for?"

Old news. They've have been "closing in" for a week now.

I did my last report on line 4 days before the expiry date and received an acknowledgement almost immediately. 6 days later it was still pending and since I was going into the city anyway I submitted a form at the drive-through window and got it processed immediately. 2 days later ie. 4 days after the expiry I received a rejection EMail, "Already Submitted".

I always thought the law makers were our 'elected' representatives in government, the judiciary apply the law (fairly...555)......the police are there to police the population according to the law...............it's not up to the police to decide what the law actually is, should be, or if it should applied or dis-applied......what am I thinking.....this is Thailand.

You are an optimist.

Is there anybody in Chiang mai area?

Out of Date! The report shows temperatures etc to 25th, today is the 27th.

It seems like only yesterday, all government offices, including Post Offices banned everybody from bringing Durian into their premisses.

If the placement includes accommodation and utilities, she doesn't drink alcohol, and she can use public transport, 700 GBP per month (around 20 GBP per day) should be enough. 

Grocery shopping at Aldi or Lidl is fairly cheap and good quality.

 

Thank you, details are sketchy at present.

Keep the suggestions coming please.

You forgot the rape of Dinah!

Depleted Uranium is just that . Negligible radio activity. It is , however, just like all heavy metals, including lead, toxic. i.e. poisonous.

Later this year,my granddaughter is being sent by her university to UK for a 4 month "placement". I am out of touch with costs there and I am guessing she will need about 700 per month. Would any member still resident in UK or a recent visitor please advise me?

Legalisation or regulation would put vaping in conflict with the Thai Tobacco Monopoly and also close a lucrative stream of income for Thai Police. It will never happen!

Based upon hazy recollection of years past, it normally begins a day or two early and ends a day late.

 

If that holds true this year, Songkran festivities in CM would likely be 11-16 April.  (Officially, Songkran is 13-15 April.)

Add in the weekend and an extra day to compensate for the Saturday.

I speak to them in Gaelic or Urdu, it annoys them and they hang up immediately.

You do not need an agent. Take the papers provided by the person who officiates at the marriage to the Ampeu office and do it yourself. The staff will find an English speaker who will guide you,

Only 16?

A waste of time. The DUP is led by a group of bigots who will never accept a catholic First Minister.

You can apply to UK embassy for a letter requesting the transfer.

Be prepared for a long wait and two or three irrelevant replies, it took me three messages and 5 weeks before I finally penetrated their brains.
