  1. To lay parquet on concrete the concrete needs to be level for a good result . One reason why your tilers made a good job.
  2. Preperation is the important part of using self leveling cement and working out the depth needed as some types are for 3 mm and others are for up to 10mm . Biggest problem in Thailand is the cost for a large area and finding tradesman that are used to using self leveling cement.
  3. I receive an old age pension hence the 15 percent tax in Norway. With the likely demand for the need for filing a tax return I would be better to visit the tax office and pay tax in Thailand when residing more than 180 days even if it is only a small saving . Did you need to notify the Norwegian authorities when changing to the Thai tax ? Or does the Thai authorities notify Norway of the change?
  4. Thai method of laying floor tiles are mostly using sand and cement on a concrete surface that is often not completly level . The method is suspect as often the tiles begin to lift up after a number of years . They often do not leave any gap between the tiles and that hastens the lifting up . It is best to make the floor completly level with self leveling cement and then lay the tiles using tile adhesive . I have had difficulty in finding Thai tradesman that have knowledge on how to use that method and it is far more expensive for materials.
  5. I receive a Norwegian pension and pay 15 percent of the gross to Norway. It was explained to me that I can pay tax in Thailand if I wanted . I decided to leave it paying the Norwegian tax as I could only see a saving of 5 percent paying Thai Tax . Maybe I can look again from what you are saying .
  6. I always turn my head away to the side when passing workers cutting the grass on the side of the road when riding a motorcycle or bicycle. Seems I am not so paronoid after all.
  7. I had not heard of Temu before and after taking a look at the app I will definatly try them . Two advantages with them are free delivery and the search engine is far superior to Lazada . Far as Quality is concerned you get what you pay for . If it looks too cheap forget it has been my policy with Lazada. I cant see Thailand imposing trade restrictions on China even if it is affecting production in Thailand.
  8. Average of mid twenties single and all rented motorcycles. Likable colourful characters I found.
  9. I have had a number of Kuwaiti guests and found them very ok.
  10. It seems you have had experiance of Kuwaiti people in Thailand. Or are you just speculating from reports on the media?
  11. The consequences from modifying the battery seem plain to all after reading the article . But the ferocity of the fire is worrying modified or not.
  12. If the motorcycle had been parked in a shopping centre carpark there would of been a major fire . I am sure there will be more fires from electric motorcycles as they become more popular.
  13. Time will tell, thank you for your reply
  14. To keep there johnson numb may be a better expression
  15. Many have took refuge in Lao and Cambodia never to be seen again.
  16. A sad day for 14million Thai voters. Any company thinking to invest in Thailand or has invested will surely think again. Keep a close eye on the Thai baht value
  17. I presume you are a country shopper as well. Only wrong is Australia for not complying with its international obligations. The UK were ready to do the same . Thankfully the Conservative Government were voted out by a substantial majority before they put the UK in the same sewer as Australia.
  18. Major reason for not many refugees or asylum seekers in Thailand is they are not signed up to the 1951 Refugee Status Convention .
  19. The issue is why Thailand not full of so called asylum seekers.
  20. Real people looking for a better life.
  21. Of course not, you are here to show what knowledge you have about humanitarian obligations a country has according to the UN
  22. Difference between Australia and Thailand is Australia has signed an agreement with the UN on asylum which they do not follow.
