  1. was in PranBuri village to do some shopping . when a Mr Magoo..( thick glasses and all ) did a Thai style pull out without looking .. clipped my back fender area .. ( luckily it was an old 2004 Honda ) when I pulled over and got out he went into full yelling mode.. all the shop keepers were there laughing hard as hell when I pointed up to a pole with a security camera.. well the local boys showed up and suggested we all drive over to the PB station.. We called our "Red Box" "Captain P" and he arrived at the station within 10 mins to help sort it out. then his insurance agent showed up and after a very brief inspection and using science to show the direction of the scrape mark Mr Magoo had to reach in his pocket and fork over 2000 Baht on the spot...
  2. FYI July Aug Sept are the best shopping months.. lot's of open properties if you go to a real estate they will only show you their listings you can literally walk into any condo building and go to the rental office they will be all too happy to take you in and see what is available If you have a day or 2 to play around you can drive thru any of the small villages just off the main drag ( Phet Khasem Rd.) there are dozens and dozens of houses for rent just call the # on the sign out front .. 15k-30k no problem closer to the beach front the higher the price .. literally 5 minutes outside of city center is Khao Takiab some very nice buildings with rentals / pools and just for an FYI so you can see it in action check out this funny video from one of the locals on how to go house hunting
  3. of course mushrooms large scale / commercial are grown indoors under controlled enviroments so are mice, Romain Lettuce, and A.I. I was making a reference to "Wild Shrooms"
  4. ...and who in that ministry owns land in the Golden Triangle ? and come to think of it .. 2rai of land on my road just got sold to 2 young men who say they will be growing mushrooms.. and there is plenty of cow pie in the area
  5. when we walk down the road to the temple ,, we usually encounter 2 "group gangs" I carry this and scrape it on the pavement and bang it a few times so far they seem to get the message that it will definitely leave a mark on their heads
  6. I use my Norton with a US address... and have NT TOT ( I like to stream music from Pandora ) right now 483.66 Down ( Usually much higher ) / 997.34 Up ...laptop with VPN on 46.24 and 59.07 and this is a very low score usually double that 43.21 and 53.88 on my cell phone I find that 6pm to 9pm is usually the worst time for making VOIP calls to the US .. via cell or hard wired phone thru modem Google meet with video ..... never have a problem
  7. I married my wife 16 years ago... she was 32 at the time and the Pinkey ( the baby in the family ) I paid for the 2 wedding bands ( gold was very low at that time ) her eldest sister put up wads of her cash and jewlery on the Sin Sod display trays to show boat ( she said that was old school and not fair to me ) and we split the bill for the reception dinner, Monks and ceremony at the Siam House in Bangkok ... quite spectacular food and atmosphere $1200/US for 75 people there was also the envelopes with 100Baht ea for the brides maids 1@ front door 1@ stair case to go up and 2 for the maid of honor at her dressing room door I gave her 1 and she smiled and said.. Oh.. you don't love her that much ? so I had to fork over a second.. ha ha ... Then at the end of the party when I went to retrieve my shoes .. i noticed her cousins all wearing sh*t eating grins,, so I paid 1 envelope and got 1 shoe back then ( me being somewhat of a smart ass..) I had some blanks with me and handed 1 over to get my other shoe back ... funny as hell when he opened it and it was empty. ( and we are still good friends to this day )

  10. Lotus'sssss and Makro in the Pranburi are .. the meat dept usually stinks like they are trying to attract buzzards .. and the meat especially the chicken and pork always has a nice brownish tint to the edges... ( don't forget the open ice trays where everybody and the sister handles the product cross contaminating by using the same tongs to pick up the items ....
  11. Wow!!! sorry to inform you ..she's a blabbering idiot and you should consult Websters dictionary for an accurate description of charisma..or was that a typo ? and you ment a** clown?
  12. Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and -- to a lesser extent -- convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space. Dust accumulation on the reflective surface will reduce its reflective capability. The radiant barrier should be installed in a manner to minimize dust accumulation on the reflective surface. When installing a foil-type barrier, it's important to allow the material to "droop" between the attachment points to make at least a 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) air space between it and the bottom of the roof. and....... seeing as we are inThailand .... Note that reflective foil will conduct electricity, so avoid making contact with bare electrical wiring.
  13. i'll have the rabid pack shipped to your village .. then you can feel all warm and fuzzy and ffed them and clean up the mess
