we are on the pi$$ now
where are you???
bob.
Wow, on the pi$$ by midday. I'm at home about to have an after lunch icecream. I'm not the one who claims to be a hard drinking womaniser though.

Tom and Bob appear to be a pair of lightweights. Straight home for something to eat after picking your wing man up from the airport? Then off to bed? What's the plan for tomorrow? Bingo?

I mean, if they want pretense, I'd say have a do it yourself cake icing on the table that requires whipped cream and the required bottle and gas
The sale of nitrous oxide is illegal in Thailand.

Currently, only two countries on the planet do this. The USA and Eritrea.
This is a desperate act by the Thai government, and demonstrates that things are not good.
It's not the same as the USA. The USA taxes income wherever their citizens live. Thailand is only taxing you if you are tax resident in Thailand. The UK taxes your worldwide income if you are tax resident in the UK unless you pay for non dom status. If countries didn't do that everyone would park their savings offshore.

Seems you want other people to do your homework for you.

in a New York Democrat's courtroom? his goose was cooked from day one...
Based on the 2020 election result Trump could have expected to have at least 4 supporters on the jury. Are you claiming he couldn't even find one juror that supported him in 2020 or would it be more accurate to say even his own supporters were unable to deny the evidence presented?

The big thing is the changes to retirement extensions that was just announced yesterday. We don't know what those are. But I've yet to see a change that made things easier for us. All these people "confused" or "laughing" at my preference for Prayuth should remember that he was a status quo politician. For those of us dealing with immigration, he was a godsend. If getting an extension suddenly becomes much more expensive or impossible (can't get health insurance), how many will still be laughing or confused?
What changes to retirement extensions mentioned yesterday are you on about? The only change I saw mentioned was a reduction of the insurance requirement from 3 million baht to 440,000 baht, which seems to be an improvement if your extension is the type that requires insurance. Have you seen something else?

You are flat wrong when you say that there has never been a requirement for a work permit in order to get a SIM card, IF the SIM card is post pay. Prepay has never been a problem.
whether the situation has changed, I don’t know but for sure in the past a post pay sim needed a work permit.
i guess I will update my knowledge by checking with the phone company
You should have mentioned you had a post paid SIM then.

Has that changed now? If not, I cannot register for mobile banking, which I was considering doing.
There has never been a requirement to have a work permit to register a SIM card. I bought my SIM years before they required registration and simply went to the AIS shop to register it when they made it a requirement. Bought a one year internet SIM just over a year ago and they registered it in the shop. Just bought a replacement one year internet SIM and registered it online.

Check the filter in the water inlet. If there isn't enough water flow the heater will not switch on. Also check she shower head as if that is getting blocked it will start restricting water flow. There is a little magnetic switch in the inlet for the water flow which can fail and there is also an overheat sensor on the heater which can fail. Both are easily replaceable.

It's on lots of items, but not all items.
Also, buying 1 item is often free delivery, but add another item from same seller and the free delivery is no longer free.
I'm currently buying lots of granola, as it works out at around half price of Rimping and Tops with the free delivery.
And sometimes there is no free delivery on one item but if you buy three items you get free delivery. Ordered an item that cost 16 baht, total of 54 baht with delivery fee. Upped the order to three items for free delivery for a total of 48 baht. Three items for 6 baht less than one item.

Bangchak Hi Premium 97... is E10.
Yes, I did go to their website to have a look after I posted and noticed it said E10. Seems you are paying 10 baht a litre extra for some additives. If your car needs 97 octane I suppose the price of fuel is immaterial.

I did see a few of those videos on the cabin filter but I thought there were other external filters... Could be wrong. Do these pollen filters get blocked up?
Not sure why they called it a pollen filter as it is just a normal filter for an AC system in a car. Yes, they will start to become blocked over time. Normally only one filter for the AC system. Flash cars that may have dual AC could have more than one filter I suppose.

The difference between 91 and 95 is just the octane rating. 97 has an even higher octane but I believe it is also pure gasoline with no added ethanol, hence the big jump in price.

Probably the writer of the article thought that the mention of an Israeli would make it a juicier reading owing to
all the commotion and protests around the world having to do with the Israel/Gaza war...
Really? It's not as though the nationality of people in news articles is usually omitted. You probably comment on "typical (add nationality)".

60GB is low if watching videos and streaming
So buy a different one if that is what you need. This one is only used for security cameras.

I bought a TurboX 100 from Lazada last month for 1067 baht. 60GB a month at 100Mbps. Has some free call minutes and messages thrown in as well if you need that.

Thank you Neal. That's quite interesting. Definitely something I'm going to try in early May.
May is the wrong time to spray as mango season has just finished. I spray mine either as soon as the first flower appears or early December if no flowers by then. If you want scions take them off the grafted trees you have planted or talk to a neighbour to take some from their trees.
This is what I spray with. Two applications 14 days apart.

Never been asked for a map before for my retirement extension but was asked for GPS coordinates for last renewal in March at Ratchaburi immigration. Another new request was the phone number of the house owner shown in the blue book.

Khao San Road in a Frenzy as Authorities Crack Down on Laughing Gas

The Medicine Act of 1967 makes it illegal. It is a controlled substance and you need a permit. I expect the whipped cream canisters are one of those Thai anomalies where food equipment gets a pass, a bit like buying food grade 100% ethanol.
