Let's not forget another warehouse collapse in Chonburi, using same sub-standard steel, from factory that was shut down for producing substandard steel. Is this just to redirect attention from the high speed train link to China also using same steel? Or maybe this is simply stating that despite complete rubbish of materials used, the design of the building was flawed from the start, construction quality was terrible, so whether materials were perfect or not, the building would have gone down anyway as it was so badly designed and constructed? If that's true - why was the design been given green light to start construction? Surely if it's so bad, someone would have pointed it out before the first earth digger arrived on site?

This guy really has some wild dreams... and then he writes about them when he wakes up!

It's an imaginary fatal disease, called convictitus felinitus.

Tony, with Friends like that, you really need no enemies

He has indeed. Thank you, Putin.

Can't imagine they'd be happy to see this face in the photo of the "leaders of NATO countries" either...

I don't know all the answers but these I do: 2) Can they add new rules without the approval of majority of owners? Yes. If the committee, which is voted for, approves it. 3) Can they fine condo resident? Yes they can, if rules of the condo as set by the committee and published to residents are violated. What happens if owner refuses to pay? They add it to outstanding fees like water and maintenance, charge late payment interest, and if exceeding certain amount of time, cut the water and access to common areas. Can you request total spending, etc.? Yes. In fact they should provide that update to all residents at least quarterly, in our case it's published every month and includes all the costs, including all salaries, all the upkeep of the building, contractor fees for repairs (including which unit was being repaired and for what), etc. Our condo is managed by Plus property. It was put to vote a year back or so when building was 5 years old and majority voted to keep them... but we did change security company twice, and each next one is worse than the last...

You should try it, usually they serve it with lime, and call it "anchan manao" or butterfly pea with lemon. Tastes very nice.

Which makes total sense when seeing 1000s on the roads...

👍 And that's probably 2 with safest bets on longer term survival. I am quite confident there will be further closures of car manufacturers in China (and probably elsewhere as well) as the markets are simply not big enough for so many players.

I'd recommend Uniqlo online. You should visit their shop (most Centrals/Malls have it) and consider that their numbers are 1 to 2 smaller than US size, so L = Uniqlo XL or XXL. Up to XL, sometimes XXL they have in their shops, so you can check for size, and if that's not large enough, then buy larger size from their website and have it either delivered to home or pick it up in their shop, where if it doesn't fit, you can exchange or return it for a full refund.

Just looking at NETA V in there... NETA is toast. And probably not the last one to go. https://www.nationthailand.com/business/automobile/40051576

They can't legally close it, but they can certainly threaten it enough to grind the shipping to a halt. Like Yemeni did before - it really doesn't take much to hit a large tanker from a few miles away. You sink a few and insurance costs skyrocket, ship operators refuse to sail through without military protection, which isn't unlimited and turns out to be very costly - and you've caused a major disruption. It would cost them just a few rockets or torpedoes. So maybe not completely close it, but still cause a significant pain.

We have quite a few Russians in this forum. Let's hear some disinformation from them.

That's on both sides, as big businesses generally "invest" on both sides, to have an upper hand, no matter who wins. Problem with Democrats is that they went to the far end extremes to please certain groups of people, and by that alienating everyone else. They've lost touch with population, and thought that pushing it further into extremes was somehow going to fix that. They've lost compass. I would dare to say that while they got some votes from people on Republican side who couldn't stomach Trump, a large number of votes also went to Republicans from typically left-side voters who believe Democrats no longer represent them, nor share their values. You could say the buck stops at the leadership, but the rest are just as responsible for the situation they find themselves in for only bringing this up now, rather than opposing it when realising they are heading in the wrong direction, which was quite a while back.

You should make this a game of Russian roulette... each time he's wrong, he pulls the trigger...

If that's Marantz NR-1200, it's available in Thailand. At least it was a couple of years ago, and it's quite affordable. Cerwin Wega is also available here. You can even find it on Lazada, with older models available both on Lazada and Kaidee, where you'll also find a lot of vintage electronics. Open kaidee.com in Chrome and translate page to English to see descriptions in English as well, not just menus. There's a shop that has a marketplace also, Munkong Gadget. Unsure if it's still there but it is a high end electronics shop, and on forum people post ads for stuff they are selling (or buying). As lots of high end stuff here are imported from Japan, be careful to inspect the photos for whether it's 220-240V model, or 100V model. Not difficult to get transformer, but they are bulky, especially 500W+ ones. Then make up your mind if it's worth bringing it over.

They're not British.

At least Bush was funny

I mean, technically... he said he would get it fixed in 1 day... but he didn't say on which planet in which solar system. Maybe there's a planet where one day is like 20 years of our time?

Tony would never do such a thing! Darn Cambodians!

I took something similar but in UK. The claim there also was that you can complete in short time, but that would mean studying more than 1 subject at the same time. OK, if you are a full time student, but if you are studying while working, that would require extreme discipline. So - likely what that means is that you could do several courses simultaneously. In my university they had start of program at the beginning of each semester. Obviously this is generic answer, can't speak for AU. Probably best to get someone on the phone to explain rather than just checking their website.

Agree. I use JustGrab.
