I have two RO systems, different makes. All that look like the one in this link - https://s.lazada.co.th/s.xuJng are reliable and filters etc. cross compatible, there really isn't much to go wrong, and they are cheap to run, using about 7-10X more raw water than they produce. For me, 100 litres of filtered water cost about 6baht to produce. Spare parts are off-the-shelf items in Hompro, etc, but they charge at least twice the price of Lazada, if you don't count shipping cost.

And, you can use it as a sick bag, to cover your feet (well, one anyway) when its wet underfoot, to pick up dog poo, and to stop oil getting everywhere when you change an oil filter. An essential for Songkran.... your phone, your wallet, your hair can all be protected from a soaking by these insanely cheap items. Or, fill it with water and throw it! All you need is a creative imagination. Oh sorry, I have wandered off topic! Whilst driving, until a few days ago in Pattaya I noted while stopped at red lights, perhaps 10% helmet wearing. Suddenly it has shot up to over 60%. So, some are paying attention!

Well, that IS an interesting answer!

Nobody is too old for them. She's famous enough for them.

Jomtien, not CM, but you need a copy of your marriage certificate with an apostille from the Home Office in UK, certified by the Thai enbassy in London. It's a huge rigmarole over nothing, Google will tell you how to do, all it is is a paper saying the signature of the person who signed your certificate all those years ago is the signature of somebody (probably retired or dead!), and the signature of the person who signed the apostille is the signature of somebody. Total costs about £120. Then you have to take it to the Dept. of Foreign Affairs to get it "legalised" The first time when we converted from 2X retirement to 1X retirement + 1X follower, we did not have the apostille, and it was going to take too long to get it (about 6 weeks). 7,000baht under the table fixed it.

I surmise that this is all due to the installation of a huge number of solar panels on the roof...... the contractors obviously broke the seals. It seems to be an ongoing problem, as every time it rains the ceiling panels deteriorate further. Probably the entire roof will have to be re-done. Costly!

It will be interesting to see what happens when Hamas take her as a hostage.

Am I alone in having some difficulty identifying the anatomical relationships of the body parts shown in the op picture?

Photos/video please?

When I read the headline, I thought it meant the PM!

This the day after a British tourist is flattened at the poolside by falling decorative masonry!

I am not sure whether it is a phone feature or a network feature, but when my phone is on DND, if the caller makes three consecutive calls from the same number within a (I think) 3 minute period, my phone will ring..... It's an emergency default.

No. One day on the roads. Approximately.

Forget fines. Impound the bike. Instantly, and permanently.

Could you possibly mean "pitbulls" ? "Pitfalls" are something quite different! Spellcheck/autofill sucks. Proof reading before posting wins. Somwtimes.

Another issue which could quickly and simply be solved for the price of two bullets. Only the lawyers will gain from any of this....... as usual.

If Somchai had started building this submarine in his backyard in 2017, it would be finished and floating (sinking?) by now, and only cost 2000 baht!

EGR, Exhaust Gas Recirculator.

It has always been my ambition to die with my cards maxxed out, my overdrafts at their limits, and all other debts unpaid. The problem is predicting the exact moment of death. A few days late, and everything caves in. I know an American guy who planned his future on this basis, that he would die at 70. He is now 80+, senile with dementia, and living by grace of his Thai wifes' family in some s...hole in deepest Isaan with zero cash or assets, and completely cut off from his ex-friends. Worst, no intellect left to work out a means of ending it all.............., or even the concept to do so.

So why waste our time making this post? Attention seeking troll, welcome back to the ignore list.

Then there's Harry, the Ginger Whinger, who thinks he needs more security than the King, because he blabbed....., if it was even true.

A scientist friend received death threats because she published a paper that could have led to a couple of thousand diabetics reducing their dependence on insulin, etc. That would have reduced their profits by 0.001%, maybe? Donald, watch your back! (or ear?)

Has everyone lost sight of the fact that Mr. T was once a policeman? Could be relevant.

A new use for old dartboards! How could they possibly not have previously worked out that the majority of people on Beach Road between 3 and 4 am are either drunk, drugged, or up to no good?

The really amazing thing is, I have been living here for 17+ years, and I didn't know it existed! Not that I would use it, anyway.`
