  1. My 3 year old ASUS laptop has a faulty charging socket which needs replacing but no one has available spares even ASUS authorised repair centre any ideas ???
  2. prices quoted seem very high , i get really nice leb or rocky in uk for 350 baht a gram and that illegal deals so why is it more than double price here when its legal ,,?????
  3. i dont much like smoking weed even best quallty , i prefer good soft oily black or leb style crumbly hash any recccomendation in pattaya area
  4. she may be playing the long game ,, its not unheard of , or just a nice woman looking for a good time ??? time will tell when i was first in Thailand 30 years ago I was living in Phuket and my landlady was very HISO wife of the Mayor of Phuket town ,, very rich 4 kids, mercedes, Hubby very influential,, then she started coming on to me a we shagged regularly i gave her 500baht , which was funny as finacially she was loaded and covered in gold and gems , so one day i asked her what her game was and she said she was from a middle class chinese Thai family in the silk business in BKK finished uni and to cover her debts as she liked the good times .she went on the game to HISO Thai men and thats how her hubby met her , she said most Thai women sell pussy one way or the other ,, . she was in her 40s then so old lady now but her husband ended up as a governer of Ranong and an MP , they are still happily married ????
  5. standing for 3 years may mean tyres are no good and other items may not work properly , seized brakes is common , will need MOT and pass emmisions test and full service oil change at least ,, Getting temporary insurance as a non resident on Foreign license likey to be very pricey and you can MOT with no tax but cant get Tax without MOT , what make of cars is it may work out cheaper to rent a vehicle if costs of getting your car and insuring and taxing it are too high. I keep a car in Uk but its garaged and used 6 months of the year , my wife is Thai but even with 20 year NCD in Thailand getting her insurance for 3 months in UK is now too expensive , also my Austrian cousin was quoted silly money . both were in region of £850 for 3 months when the normal insurance for me and daughter is £420 a year it was better before 2012 , montly foreigner rates were were only about £75 a month fot my wife for 3 months , but insurance rule changes scuppered that
  6. Its diesel always use best B7 , no black smoke at all , fuel filters changes yearly Toyata did a full scan and said no issues , no leaks and tyre pressure is the reccomended 31psi mostly fuel from PTT , we are averaging 2000kms a month used to fill up about 3 times now have to fill up 4 most months . Im puzzled . lovely vehicle was a replacement for old 1990 Isuzu TFR that hit 647,000kms when we sold it after 20 years , Its still in Use in khon Khen now , and has 730,000 kms , also not much smoke but its very primitive ,, Hilux revo is comfy fast and well equiped ,, all my other vehicles here are big bikes which is my preferred transport but GF uses Hilux for business
  7. My GF grows durian in Ban Chang ,she points out that if you have 100 trees only 70% will produce fruit in any one year it takes 6-7 years for fruit to be of decent size and quality for sale and life span of Durian trees is average 12 years ,, and her trees fruit in September to November also many Thai Doctors tell patients not to eat Durian as its so Fattening and calorific one decent portion is over 1000 calories ,, many Thai women will scoff 3 or 4 portions and pile on the pounds and cholestorel etc , mind u my GF is only 37 Kilos so she should scoff her Durian as she really ought to be 43 kg
  8. A well known and respected British Visa agent recently died In Pattaya after a long illness and his company now run by Thai staff has imploded . Im hoping its not that company . If its not then make Police report about stolen Passport as advised , There are some excellent agents around but there are also Cowboys , both Thai and foreigner run
  9. The safest Thai bank is probably SCB as Royal Family are major shareholders many wealthy and HISO thais prefer it as its unlikey to go bust GSB and Agricultural banks are OK but very limited services as they are aimed primarily at Thais and farmers Over the years never seen problems with SCB or Krungsri Banks but seen lots of problems people have had with Kasikorn {thai farmers] and also bangkok bank .
  10. My Hilux is now 4 years old 74,000 kms regularly toyota services , but fuel consumption is about 20% more than before on same mileage , Airfilters changed , Toyota service say there is nothing wrong they have checked injectors etc but I am refuelling more ften and can see the fuel consumption is worse ,, any ideas ,,
  11. Thai military needs and prefers Professional soldiers for long term Commitment and technology and combat skills training and they only really need maybe 80,000 . Most conscripts only get basic training and are used as cheap labour for 2 years by vested interests .
  12. I have had Dengue fever twice in Pattaya in 2006 and 2012 spent 5 days in memorial both times very ill on intavenous rehydration drips and pain killers its like flu but hurts more 3rd day was worse with the peak fever and potential death , In older days Dengue was known as ''Break Bone Fever'' due to the pain and soreness
  13. We have some property near kabinburi 3 rai next to Phrapong river between kabin and Sakaeo in rainy season it would be flooded but we raised it 1.5m 22 years ago and it never gets flooded now the wate gets to half a meter from top but the crucial thing is to put trees and plants all around the sides to reinforce the banks once the plants have matured in as little as 18months then the whole thing is strong stable and will not erode we now have for last 21 years 30 rental rooms on the site and a shop . the road next to our site gets a bit of water on it but locals can still pass by we are also only 30m from main 33 Highway
  14. Thai gold bars are 99.9% pure gold but jewelery need some additional alloys to give it strength so as low as 96% is possible depending on makers . It is not about the colour , gold in India, Middle east and pure gold in Europe is yellow like thai gold ,, Europeans have fashion purposes and also clevr marketing prefered lower quality whiter gold i 18, 14 and 9 carat types , but gold bars in Europe are 24ct 99.9% pure same Thai bars Asians , Africans, Arabs Orientals and investors would never buy European type <deleted> gold
  15. Thanks guys OK problem solved taking the trhais completely out of the loop I dismantled the toilet and lifted it off the base and it was obvious that the wax ring was broken , now This has ''supposedly'' been replaced Twice but I can clearly see that It has Not been done at all . I did it again myself with a wax ring from Boonthavrn in Bang sarey and silicone around ceramic base and 2 new stainless bolts and now the problem is solved .. Bloody Thai ripoff bodgers ,,,
  16. Memorial took good care of me when I had Dengue fever , have used Sirikit too for minor accident both OK and relatively cheap. Also been to Banglamung for accident treatment .If you cant speak Thai memorial probably quicker and good
