    First would need a bit more info. Is the house built on piers, floor slab on the ground, or raised? As for the roof, I had the same problem with the valleys leaking during high wind and rain. I had to remove the tiles and put in a wider metal valley tin. How steep is your roof? In the video, the tiles were put on a roof that was too flat for tile. I think you would need a 20-degree slope roof minimum for tile.

    Back to termites. I am surprised that there is not more use of metal termite shields here. I have a friend who even though he built his house with a 1 meter-high crawl space under his house and concrete floor, termites found a crack and ate away most of his wooden drink cabinet before he noticed them.

     

    Just a side note on the video. Metal needs to be washed down with vinegar or a product I have seen sold here to remove the oil before painting. The workers should have known that.

    Galvanized steel has no oil on it. Still best to give it a clean before paint but a lot easier than cleaning mild steel.

    no it's not

    go to any supermarket and you can buy whip cream chargers and the whip cream canisters

    popular with kids in international schools 

    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.

    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.

    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.
