Dinosaurs never existed, this is yet another one of those lies they teach us at school. The giveaway is the flying ones, as an aerospace engineer I can tell you that they simply could not get off the ground, too big and too heavy.

There is an 'epidemic' of vaping in schools. Same old story, one pupill brings these cheap Chinese disposable items into school and gives them away. Of course later on they are no longer free.

I pay around 350bt for 20 litres. Dilute 1:4 and use on already pressure washed areas, this will double the time to the next needed pressure wash. Alternatively use just as the black mould starts to appear and no need to pressure wash. Apply just as the sun goes down and hope for rain 2 or more hours later.

Once the black is in the silicone beading you cannot remove it, You will have to remove the beading and renew. Nothing to do with Haiter quality.

Deaths are currently 20% more than the 5 year average so there won't be a retirement funding problem.

He was arrested at the international arrivals terminal by immigration. He might just be grandpa without the right "papers please" for immigration.

Barnett is a shrill for the property sector I have lived here near Layan for 14 years and currently they are destroying the place, traffic is already a nightmare and not only are they building villas on every spare bit of land but around 3,000 apartments at Layan. Most villas are all over developed, a U around a pool then a wall, some with just 1 on road parking space, asking prices THB15 million up for something that costs less than THB5 million to build. Hence the building frenzy. The condos are selling to an extent (money laundering), all that money sent to Ukraine and other corruption has to go somewhere to be cleaned. but all these villas are all going to be ready at much the same time so I predict a big bust.

Similar useful advise is to erect a chainlink fence around your house to keep the mosquitos out.

There is a school of thought, and not without evidence, that among the side effects of a recent medical procedure is personality disorder.

Khai Nui was great but they let the restaurant fall apart, a battery drill with a box of stainless or brass screws could have saved the balconies but they just let it fall apart. Instead they just sat on their backsides and watched.

I taught myself on scrap bits of steel. I am sure there will be some good videos on YouTube.

They have the gun, sunglasses and jacket he dumped, there may be recoverable DNA on those items

The modern term is 'slope', my children are slightly inclined.

Then you admit you are part of the problem in Thailand: the law does not apply to rich or well connected people. I doubt you are anyway.

That is illegal, so is disconnecting the electricity and/or the water. Yes, you may get away with it with a tenant that cannot afford a lawyer or is afraid to go to the police. Also if the landlord is a policeman but you are not. In the real world you will be fair game for a 'fine' from the police.

You are correct and all those stating you are not should do some basic research. They could start here: https://www.opera.co.th/post/renting-your-real-estate-in-thailand-how-to-evict-a-bad-tenant "Has your lease agreement come to an end, your tenant is no longer paying the rent or causing damage to your property? The first step in order for your tenant to leave your apartment or villa will be to send a formal notice drafted by your lawyer stating explicitly that the tenant has a period of 7 days to leave the premises before launching an eviction procedure before the judge. If your tenant does not leave the premises, you will have to present your request for expulsion and damages in court. The procedure can take between 3 and 6 months. Important: if the Thai law is not very conciliatory with the tenants not paying the rent, some actions are prohibited on your part: - You cannot enter the property using duplicate keys without the consent of the tenant - You cannot empty the property of the tenant’s personal belongings without permission from the judge."

Itsari is correct on the law here. That won't necessarily stop the landlord and certainly not without a solicitors letter which he cannot afford. I heard recently that some of the Russians here who have signed one year leases on villas only ever paid the one month deposit and 3 months rent and then just paid no rent. It will take the landlord up to 6 months for a court order. Shortly before this they just disappear and there is nothing the landlord can do about it even if they remain in Thailand. Short term rent at long term rate and only pay 4 months for 9 months. Oh, and plus the damage. Others have signed for a year and just walked away after 3 or 4 months. Peak season rent at long term rate. Note I said "some"

I expect all the tickets are taken by agents getting long stay educational visas for Russians. Beware, if you go the next day you will have to get a new letter from the bank and account print out, a friend had his application turned down because they were from the day before. This does not matter if you use an agent, all is designed to get you to use an agent. It does make it easier all round but at a cost.

The original jack likely also has a screw but is seized/locked. A pair of stillsons or mole grips and a hammer is needed, grip the head and tap anticlockwise.

Sai Tan is an exceptional development, you get what you pay for, the owner is paying more than 30,000bt service charges for gardening, communal gardens and pool cleaning. I am currently in a villa near Laguna where the rent was 90k a month but reduced to 70k during covid, I am nearing the end of the lease and the owner wishes to sell it but it would now rent for 150k to 180k easily. A small villa that in 2019 was 50-60k is now 120k with some asking 150k. This is all mainly due to the Russian invasion, 1/4 million people with many seemingly very wealthy even though young have to live somewhere. Developments are everywhere, villas and big ugly condos so there may be a bust coming in a year or two. Whatever, this nice quietish area of Phuket is going to be ruined, build, build, build, but no improvement in infrastructure or traffic management.

I have been in Phuket 13 years and never seen it this hazy before, its been 3 days now and there is a breeze but it is not blowing whatever it is away.

I believe a Thai court has already ruled that in effect you have a 90 year lease which is not legal so the whole lease is void including your first 30 years. You could be sitting on nothing, Seek good independent legal advice. One day when it suits the Thais all these get around schemes for land ownership will implode, I admit it could be a long time when at present the Thais can build a villa costing 5 million to build and sell it for 25 million

If it is not COD I will not order. Even then I got scammed. I ordered a pair of cycling shoes 402bt including post. About 3 days later I received a parcel requiring COD of 402bt. The parcel looked and felt like a pair of shoes so I paid. The shoes were some cheap rubbish plastic flip-flops. I contacted Lazada who (their rep Justin) promised a full refund. But then they said I had paid "outside the Lazada system", the seller had used Lazada but sent it COD outside their system so the refused to give the refund. I replied "You have allowed this fraud by allowing the fraudster to use your site and you should refund me in full as per the promise from Justin. You also took ownership of the shoes by advising that I could give them away. The fraudster obtained my address and phone number from you, nowhere else, you are liable." They refused so now I use them as a last resort, they have lost a lot of income from me.
