Here's the results

Here's the type of turf, I don't know the name of the strain or if it would be considered a broad-leaf grass or not. The second photo is what happens when I spray the weeds with a mixture of white vinegar, salt and a little dishwasher soap as a surfactant . So far it seems to have the opposite effect that what I was looking for.

I've had no luck finding a broad-leaf herbicide for my lawn. Does anyone know of one which works here, and where to buy it?

Where I used to live there were companies who would spray or broadcast a combination of fertilizer and herbicide that would give you a deep green lawn free from weeds for months.

The only thing I found here was glyphosate and one drop of that on the weed core results in a 10cm circle of dead grass.

I heard of a home remedy of vinegar, salt and Dove dish soap but I don't think that wouldn't do well on the grass either.

This may vary by bank but from what I heard, in, Thailand, car loans, and possibly mortgages too, the pay off amount is:

monthly payment amounting ฿ x number of months in loan - ฿ total of monthly payments made to date.

If the loan amount is ฿1,000,000 and you've paid ฿200,000 after 2 years, payoff is 800k, no matter it it's a year , 9 years or full term.

The reason for it is so the bank or lender earns their whole interest, no matter if you pay it early or not.

True? Possibly

Fair? No

Reason it's probable? Banks influence laws everywhere.

I thought it was Taksin's recent ani-Thai comments and possible Lèse majesté law violations that caused Taksin's passport issue to come up now?

Sure, could be just an excuse, but it seems a valid one.

Prayuth's other option would be to ignore Taksin's comments, and then people would complaining that he's doing nothing about it.

Nothing but a witch-hunt!!

And the NACC are politically neutral.................

They have had 4 years to indict them, and sure it is a pure coincidence it is happening now??

Sure Yingluck and Surapong should face the music, but this stinks !!

I've tried shops that make gates but they don't seem equipped to do what I need. I need a place who can order a bar of high-carbon steel, turn it on a lathe and weld it perpendicular to the wheel.

Where was the machine shop you spotted?

gg did you manage to find somewhere to do your job ? saw a little machine shop with lathe and miller yesterday in ubon

scotty

I would rather have " a frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex" elected president than this Santorum. It would do less harm to the country.

The opposite here, sure my wife orders more than she can eat but she brings it home and (usually) eats it before it goes bad.

I went to a restaurant with her and some friends and they thought it was funny that I left so much on the chicken bones. One of her friends finished them off and it looked like a dog had cleaned off the bones. Sorry, I don't eat cartilage or chicken kneecaps.

In Ubon it's hot and sunny during the day and beautiful weather after sunset. Since May it's rained an hour or so a couple times a week, usually around 3-4am. Perfect weather for me, I'm loving it.

The same thing happened to me here. Somebody on the side of the road staring at their phone, facing the other direction decides to run out into the road when I was 2-3 meters away. He got off with a bruise and a fat lip, I broke my arm in 5 places and my leg in two places. I had my helmet on (a 30k baht Nolan) and hit my head hard, didn't even get a headache.

I've been riding motorcycles for about 42 years, in Europe and the U.S. and had a couple minor accidents but never had so many incidents per km than in Thailand.

Until I moved here I never had a car touch me, in Thailand it happened twice the first month I had a bike. Once I was stopped at a light and a guy in a car slowly chewed his front fender up on my running board trying to turn left from the right lane.

If you're not going to buckle your helmet, you might as well not even wear it. It's funny that Thai's will put on a helmet and not fasten it so they can save a 200 baht ticket but they won't snap the buckle to protect their head.

Our small male mixed breed was neutered around 1 year old and still constantly tries humping my wife's 8 month old Pomeranian who's in heat.

I don't know when the optimum time is but if his was done earlier it may have quelled the humping instinct.

Set up a Thai Ltd company.

Pay a lawyer to get my visa.

Live in a house without any shade trees.

Bring four 20 year old bargirls back to my hotel.

I picked out a restaurant on my own, two of us went and had lobster and a few other items and it was over 6000 baht. The bill was more than I expected, not the best lobster I had, not the most expensive but not worthy of a news article either.

Chang beer, now with even more hangover.

I didn't notice it before but there is a huge difference in beer prices. A big bottle of Hoegarden was ฿379 and local beers were a quarter the price.

Auke - You're Dutch, right? A linguist clue made me wonder.

My wife's big boss in Ubon got fired yesterday. Cleaned out his desk and left. Replacement manager starts tomorrow. According to her, his replacement avoided any corruption while working there. It seems like as least here, their list of who's naughty and who isn't is fairly accurate.

Go to a doctor, have him prescribe you an ace inhibitor, calcium channel blocker or diuretic or combination, whichever is most appropriate for your condition. Buy a 2000-3000 BP cuff After iyour BP is stable, skip the hospital prescribing fees and get refills at a pharmacy. See you dr according to his recommendations, probability 1x or 2x per year.

How about Sam Pan Bo, the "Grand Canyon" of Thailand?

Or the Don Cho monkey temple? Or lunch out on the docks at Kham Kheang Kaeo?

I don't know where people live who say that Issan is so hot for most of the year?

I went to Bangkok for a day last week and it felt like I was in an armpit in a sauna. I couldn't wait to get back to Ubon.

Pot addicts stealing to support their addiction? Roflmao. ?

If cannabis is a substitute for alcohol then there'd be less alcohol related uncontrolled emotions.

I saw a scooter driver in passenger in Ubon both wearing helmets, both with headband lamps on their helmets. They were noticeable.

Just having a working headlight and tail light makes you more visible that most scooters in the roads around here.

I don't think superstition has any effect on physiology.

Every study I've read showed that smoking pot and driving was much safer than drinking and driving. Some studies even showed there was no increased risk for accidents because stoned drivers drive slower and more carefully.

Criminalizing cannabis because you shouldn't drive after using it isn't a good enough reason. People shouldn't drive if they're not able to do so safely. That includes pot, booze, prescription drugs, not enough sleep etc.

Alcohol and other drug use goes down in places where pot is legal or tolerated. There would be less drunks on the road if the same thing happened in Thailand.

Pot has been legal in CO for over a year and I haven't even heard conservative prohibitionists try to claim it's causing more road accidents and the state accident rate data doesn't show any increase.

"Highway fatalities in Colorado are at near-historic lows since marijuana legalization. "

If the government made corn, bad grammar or flip flops illegal the crime stats would go up. Decriminalizing kratom or cannabis results in less crime not only because people are no longer being arrested for things that shouldn't have been illegal anyway.

Violent crime in Colorado has decreased , so have OD deaths from legal prescription narcotics.

There are good reasons murder, theft, rape and assault are illegal. There are no good reasons cannabis is illegal and Colorado and Washington state are the proof.

Cannabis was prohibited in the U.S. In the 30's for racist reasons and bribes and pressure from companies who profited big by its prohibition.

And Thailand has to content with not only drunk driving, but driving while high on drugs?

The Dutch government is now filled with religious conservatives. Their attempt to recriminalize soft drugs has led to an increase in crime, use by minors, incidents in adulteration, criminality and social problems. It's back to the 70's in the Netherlands.

In the mid 70's they treated heroin use as a health issue and have very few problems. In the past year four tourists have died from heroin they bought in Amsterdam. No coincidence that they changed their position on that in recent years either.

I think you meant that the unemployment rate in Colorado is improving, not increasing. It was 5% in 2014 and 4% now and still going down.

The first result in a Google search for "Colorado unemployment rate" will bring up that graph.

My thoughts on laws are they need to meet the test , are these laws producing the desired result? i.e. If the desired outcome is reduced use or reduced harm, if the laws are not having the desired effect, or are exacerbating the problem then they need to be reviewed and revised.

In Portugal, The Netherlands and both states in the U.S. where soft drugs were decriminalized experienced a reduction in use, especially by minors and less costs to society. Both in money and human terms.

Legalization in Colorado is the best thing that happened to the state since mountains and snow.

It would be far better to legalize Pot, reason being two fold it would give rice farmers another income, by licensing the rice farmer fees collected and tax on pot could go to treatment of more serious drug use. Also it could help train The royal Thai police to be better at there job of enforcing laws. It is a shame that you can kill a police officer and get bail and travel the world at will if your rich. Yet same crime and poor you would not be on the streets for years awaiting trial. You can rob the country blind and still have valid passport to travel and thumb your nose at the government.

It's also good for the tourism industry. Pot tourism has boomed in Colorado, Oregon and Washington where pot has been legalized.

Pot is not an issue in Thailand. Legalizing it in Colorado has brought a rise in their unemployment rate. Thailand like any other country in the world should look at the success Portugal has had with their drug problem. They still have a problem but it is nothing compared to other countries.

Thailand could take a page out of the experience in the states. There was a time not so long ago when possession of one joint could get you 5 years in jail. They in the states have the highest Per Capita rate of people in jail in the world.

One other big detail this article omitted is that a lot of what the Thai Government has considered drug treatment consisted of a stint in jail. I am not up on the current status but I do know that some place in the last year they were talking about revamping their drug treatment system and dropping the jail time. Like I say I am not up on where they are with that.

I am not a Thai Basher or naive. I do not expect it to happen over night. Also there is only at the present 3 states out of 50 and they all have stringent controls on the distribution. To the best of my knowledge the only country where it was a tourist draw was the Netherlands and it is my understanding they have tightened laws up a little bit there along with a lax enforcement of them. LOL sound familiar.
