Dig a big big hole and fill it with water. Then you can fish, breed prawns, or run around on your jet ski, yacht, whatever.

Given all the aforementioned, any recommendations on shops in Jomtien which would also install the aircon?.

 

 

Not Jomtien, but close, try this guy. Very helpful, good workers.

Disband the RTP, start over again, all officers to be thoroughly investigated for unusual wealth, anyone who bought their positions will be eliminated from consideration. Appoint a citizen based review board, and have regular inspections of officer ranks, merit only consideration for advancement. Police are to enforce laws daily, especially road safety, no more hanging out in air conditioned shacks doing nothing.

I doubt that the ten people left over constitute a viable police farce.

This scenario is only playing out in the over-vivid imagination of the OP. Doesn't happen in real life.

Actually it does.

A few years ago, SWMBO and I were returning by bus from Ekkamai, with luggage. We negotiated a ride home from the Nua bus station  to the darkside, 100baht, which I thought was pretty fair.  

The driver did not lrave immediately, he waited until he had a full load, and then proceeded to Jomtien Beach Road via the hill, dropping people off at various points on the way. When we were the only passengers left, he turned up Soi Wat Boon, and stopped on a piece of waste ground (it was not so built up in those days). He climbed out and demanded another 200baht to take us to our home in Nongkabok. This after the best part of an hour farting about in Jomtien! 

We got out and walked with our cases to the nearest bar, after informing him I only wanted a ride, not to buy his f.....g taxi, and would pay him nothing unless he fulfilled the contract. Probably fortunately he did not speak or understand enough English that it mattered!

I took a motorbike taxi home, for 100baht, and went back with the car to collect SWMBO etc.

With a foul temper!

Is this is the cretin who thought keeping a leopard in his garden  in a residential area was a good idea?

I was stopped in a queue at traffic lights, behind a taxi, with another alongside it. I thought it odd that the one in front had yellow paint on top of the black number. The one alongside had the black number clearly painted/printed on top of the yellow.

I soon realised that the guy in front had normal black on white plates, badly overpainted to look like taxi yellow ones.

Both taxis had yellow/red liveries, both Chonburi plates. I wonder just how many of these liveried taxis are actually genuine and properly licensed, insured, etc.

Suspicious story to play on public sympathy. The leg may be 3 cm shorter, but that doesn't mean surgery was "botched", it could be just the way it healed. Your leg will never be the same after that kind of accident. I didn't see anything in the story that would indicate fault on the part of the surgeon. Maybe it WAS the surgeon's fault, but there's not enough info in the story. 

Regardless of assigning fault, before surgery you sign a waiver indemnifying the hospital and its staff, down to the tea lady, against any claims. Otherwise, they won't operate!

It seems many guys do that to themselves. The women just inspire them a little.

 

Like: I don't want to work in this horrible place.

Darling, no problem, I will help you. I also don't want that you work here.

But what should I do? I have no money.

No problem darling, you are smart, you can run a business.

But I have no money.

No problem darling, I pay for the business...

 

And then the guy feels like the knight in shining armor. Sex was never the most important thing he wanted.

 

Sex in that suit is impossible!

Boy Air and Sound. Quick, efficient, honest and reasonable prices.

Still there, went yesterday. Just as good as ever, pity about the parking, though, it's become very busy thereabouts.

To cal four portakabins and four polytunnels a "resort" is a bit of a stretch, in my view. A few bamboo mats to camp on, even moreso.

This is a very distressing story.

Is it not strange that nothing about it's reporting, or consequences, chimes with the standards of investigation, reporting, or application of justice applied to human victims?

This process is a farce. The apostile from HMG is a certificate that certifies that the copy of your extract of the register of your marriage was signed by the official who signed it. The Thai embassy then certifies that the apostile was signed by the person who signed it. The MOFA then certifies that the certifiate certifying the certificate certifying the extract was signed by the person who signed it.

None of the certifiers know anything about any of the certifiers they are certifying. And each stage involve massive injections of dosh to government and couriers. They are certifiying that the certificate says that it was signed  by someone who signed it...... not that it WAS signed by the person it says signed it.

Confused much......?

To add insult to injury, once you have it, no-one gives a monkeys'.

Here. Always had good service and price.

Mine Vigo 4wd 300000km over 15 years. I have not recorded time or distances but:-

Originals Firestone, good but short life,

Replaced Bridgestone, expensive, short life, good but dangerous at the end, slippery in heavy rain,

replaced Bridgestone, expensive, short life, two steps:-

½ Deestone, excellent:-cheaper, long life, good grip.

½ Maxxis, good:- not quite so cheap, long life, good grip.

Now:- Maxxis need replacement soon, Deestone good for another 6 months..

I will replace with Deestone, not so easy to find if you want the best price.

This gets old. At the detection of some crime, they crackdown, then when they stop cracking down, the crime starts up again.

 

Why can't they just plan a year round crime prevention stategy instead of this ridiculous on and off again policing.

because the effort might make their shirts and trousers split at the seams.

Not sure the guy pictured in the OP photos was entirely wasting his food...

 

From the full version of the article:

 

"In the comment session, the blogger shared that he made another delicious dish with leftover meat patties. He posted a picture of stir-fried holy basil, also known as Pad Kaprao, made from meat patties."

 

Though if he used all 90+ of the beef patties he didn't eat from the so-called burger, that must have been A LOT of pad krapao...

 

I think BK's burger patties are about 100 grams apiece... So if he had 90 leftover, that would have been 9 KILOS of leftover beef!

 

9 kilos of recovered meat products.

I wish you would not post 'krap' without checking your facts first. as I posted separately, I spent several hours going around in circles, trying to confirm what you posted. You are wrong. 

You misunderstood me, and malign me. What I said, or meant, was that all my data that I needed was already on my app - because I put it there and use it - so I lost nothing. I did not at any time make any comment on whether the online SCB Easy desktop site is or was currently available, or what could or could not be accessed on it.
