Weighing passengers to become standard for Bangkok Airways

No one can get fat on an airline meal..... or even on two! -
Weighing passengers to become standard for Bangkok Airways
Grusa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When I took my first commercial flight, at the age of seven, in a Dakota, one of the pilots moved passengers about before take off. Mainly, as the plane was not full, he moved people forward from the rear seats. -
They use US gallons. In military usage "US" stands for "UnServiceable", i.e. useless.

Well what about the Thai method? How any delivery person ever finds the destination is a mystery to me. Sometimes it's a mystery to them too......stuff doesn't make it, or needs a dozen phone calls plus Google maps.

The UK sells plasterboard (gyproc sheet) in Imperial length and metric width (8'*2400mm). Makes fitting them difficult, sometimes.

Is it worth getting teeth implants at 81?
Grusa replied to giddyup's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If you are taking blood-thinning medication, e.g. warfarin, make sure:- a. that the dentist knows you are taking them, b. that he understands the associated risks (many it seems do not), c. that he advises you to stop taking them a few days before surgery....with specialist medical advice if necessary. I know an octogenarian who nearly bled out in bed, the night following initial implant surgery. The dentist was told about his medication, but did nothing to address the risk. Poor professional training. -

They are so full of fertiliser they don't have room for any more!???? -
I have a useful, all-encompassing and pertinent Irish answer for you:- "We...e...ell, to be sure, if I was after going to be going there, I certainly wouldn't be after starting from here!" I am sure this will be as helpful as 99.99% of the other answers on here.

It's somewhere to keep Thaksin behind bars.....

A couple of days ago, Mrs Grusa got an SMS from our bank, telling her her credit card was expiring at the end of the month, that a new one had been posted out on September 2nd, and giving a tracking number. Sure enough, her card does expire when stated. I followed up the tracking number, on both 17track and Thailand Post, both said the same thing: the package was despatched on 2nd June from Samurai Prakan, tracked through LakSi, and delivered and signed for on 8th June, in Khlung. Which, by the way is in Tray province.... we live in Sattahip! The following day I checked again, all that detail remained, plus a new entry, despatched from Samut Prakan 02/09. So, I wondered, does Thailand Post recycle its tracking numbers? Today I got a similar SMS from the bank for my credit card, with a different tracking number. Same story, same dates, but this one delivered to Tha Mai.... Chantaburi province, I think. And again, a new despatch date corresponding to the SMS. I have never before encountered a re-used tracking number. Is this common, and how long does the expired meta-data persist? It seems very poor security. And coincidence two items to two separate people, but from one financial institution......

Google translate:- I live a beautiful life here. The working environment is not livable and the benefits are lacking. But don't worry, only about one person gets seriously injured every day, and I'm careful. We opened a small shop, and the business is doing well. Although I don't know much English, I can understand a little bit what those white people said. I hope you can succeed! I will work hard this time, if you are all right? I miss you very much and hope we can meet again.

Termites are not the worst enemy of Ikea fitted furniture. Maids and bug-killing companies are! They will flood the floor and skirtings etc., causing the mdf to swell. Make sure to seal all edges and joints with foil tape. Ensure units are not mounted so no wood touches the floor.... if it does, seal with mastic. Properly done, it will last the warranty period. Done "thai style" it won't. There are people around who are expert at modifying and fitting this stuff, but they can't advertise!

Agree. Also Healthland:- expensive......unless you buy a book of 10 tickets. Then its 500 fot two hours, in a private room. No HE.

Thaksin will be “escorted from plane to prison” when he arrives Tuesday
Grusa replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I have no doubt the police "Department of Legal Execution" will deal with him. -
You have insufficient data to complete the order. You need your½pd's, which are specific to you, and your OC heights, which are specific to the combination of you and the particular frame. Inattention to these details will be an expensive disaster.... and don't expect any local supplier to have the knowledge.
