Methinks this lady from TAT just likes the sound of her own voice & enjoys a daily press release" -

Car accident, who should pay the excess?
natway09 replied to sanook 1's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
If the guy has no money, the guy has no money, how is the insurance company going to extract ? Your call !! -
I hope they are mainly for export. The current energy supply in Thailand (even if they had any kind of decent charging facilities once out of the city) is generated by oil or gas which just transfers the carbon footprint from one place to another, and they are still expensive with battery quality still a major issue

Nightlife Extension Raises Concerns of Post-Closure Accidents
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
2am / 4am will make little difference as the damage is already done if they are stupid enough to drive home. There was talk in NZ about closing carparks at 11pm & you had to pass a breath test to drive your vehicle out. Not sure what happened but idea makes sense -
How many decades have I heard this ??? Still time, most areas get a couple of weeks after Christmas before the furnace is lit

Illegal guns, not gun control laws, are the problem in Thailand

Not sure agree with the headline, but there is a huge overlap anyway -
Anutin Orders Strict New Year Road Safety Measures
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They don't really care at the top end. Having spoken at length to both a Highway Patrol & ordinary policeman both made it very clear, they do not have the budget nor is it forthcoming for fuel to have patrol cars/pickups on the roads on a regular basis. -
Did someone think to tell her that 78% of Thais live from their small salary month by month & that many have HP or mortgages to pay so you will need to discount hotel rooms a lot more (& they are already cheap) In reality I am surprised just how much Thais do travel but again, did someone think to tell TAT that the Thais travelling internally will not help Thailands balance of payment nor foreign reserves, so Thailand sinks deeper into the bog

"Thais don"t eat much beef" What a lot of rubbish. Most Laab is beef so half of Isaan eats beef & I had tonight in Tak. Lamb is expensive here. What a lot of rubbish, maybe you are out of reality. I stopped bringing deep frozen, newspaper wrapped lamb back from NZ as there is little difference in the price. 1,300 Bht for a large lamb leg is still good price & not worth the hassle

Police Rescue Lost Pit Bulls: Prompt Action Ensures Safety of Community
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
They can never be trusted. FULLSTOP. I am a dog lover & bred for 20 years but Pittis are about as dangerous a breed as can get along with another 4 breeds. I agree with many breeds being well trained make good pets including Rotties & dobers but there is just far too much evidence in many countries (cold & hot climates), yes it can make a difference,to suggest that pittis can go in this category. I would applaud any Government that totally banned the breed as a public service. -
Get rid of that metal clip in the brickwork for a start. Reverberation transfer straight through. Can use isolation clips though. People who have recommended (like Mr Jim Tripper ) the acoustic material have no idea what they are talking about & even 5 layers will do nothing. You have an STC problem not NRC. What you are building may help a little but flanking will determine how much. Transfer through & above the ceiling will negate most of your efforts unless take your 2nd wall right up to the slab or roof. You are lucky they are not playing music with a lot of bass. Good Luck

Advertised as an ADULT Entertainmant Area & very strict on access age. Mainly orientated around males all but around the world it is the same. Security access, Kings Cross in Sydney for example any age can wander around. (Horrible place). Nana is not a drug dealers paradise (again, unlike Kings Cross) & I doubt if any owners of bars are selling as just not worth it . Yes, hate to tell some of you posters, but it is safe as far as personal safety is concerned albiet I have always said that in the event of a fire there is only one exit. There are 2 other fire exits out to the Landmark driveway but I think locked or built over which is a major concern as a small incendiary placed at the narrow entrance would cost many lives. I frequented on a regular basis & YOU get yourself into trouble if there is any. I do not know the exact slagging this lady has been up to but maybe the Thai authorities should turn it into advertising by accepting the facts of what it is & targeting them to frequent. It is actually a pretty special place for what it is.
