You're wrong, it's all been caused by global warming.

You just told everyone your gender! Back to the OP, Most of the Thais around me seem to use the hanging nets. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/grace3-5-i3072340796-s11273079348.html

As you get older you realise nothing you were told about the world was true. I would say, negativity increasing with age, is more to do with experience and disappointment. As for the article ...... mostly BS IMHO. "Why do seniors complain so much even though they have people working hard to make their lives easier?" No 'people' ever worked to make my old age easier, unless I paid them.

Would point out the PV panels come with MC4 connectors already fitted, so nothing you buy will be connected together.

Santa, as we know him, was invented by the Coca Cola Corporation of America in a 1931 advertising campaign.

Like @Crossy, no special tools required just use what you have around the house. If you're building your own battery packs maybe a wire stripper and soldering iron.

I used to get my servants (aka my wife) to bring me breakfast in bed.

It's cheaper for the employers to pay overtime than to employ the right number of staff. There's no other reason this happens. I remember once after working 13 days in a row (not unusual), my manager got angry because I wanted to not work overtime on the 14th day (Sunday) so I could see my wife and kids.

Tulsa King is great, Sly Stallone as a 75yo mafia guy that just got out of jail after a 25 year stretch. So far it's as good as 'Breaking Bad', and better than 'Boardwalk Empire'.

It's against the law to have sex outside in the UK, even if it's in your own private garden or estate.

I'd assume it was being 'drop shipped' from China and was beyond the control of the local Lazada seller.

Best to buy from the UK seed suppliers then nobody will know.

Me too! Sadly their lives were equally bleak before Brexit. One of the reasons they voted to leave the EU was they were hoping for change. As that News guy (Jonathan Pie) used to say, A vote for Brexit was a vote for a change. A vote to remain was a vote for no change.

How dare these foreigners besmirch the reputation of Pattaya as a family holiday resort.

He sold a lot of stock to buy Twitter. When someone dumps a load of shares the price drops, that's how shares work.

Always amazed the western power system has become so fragile. Same in the UK last week, bit of cold weather and off goes the electricity.

Thanks TBL, and Merry Xmas to you and all other posters. My past 3 years have been great!

I'd say, Agree to anything and everything they want then don't ever get around to doing it (Thai way), as it's considered rude to say no.

Same, Amphur office was 40bht, then our wedding dinner was in the local street cafe, 100bht in total (including a 20bht tip) as they put candles on the meals and turned the lights out. Then the bus to the village in the evening to tell 'mum' what we'd done. Way more romantic than my previous Brit wedding that cost thousands of pounds.

I have s/h CALB 200ah x 16 that only store about 100ah (had to buy 18) And s/h Sinopoly 100ah x 16 that only store about 50ah (had to buy 20) So your experiences are far better than mine. If I were doing it again I'd buy new 3.7v NMS. But in Thailand you never know what you're getting until it arrives. The good news, Even though I have my grow tent LED on from 6am to 10pm the batteries give enough o/p, to power my home from 3:30pm to 9am without taking any grid power, as long as it was a sunny day. Overcast and I'm on the grid from 6pm. I have my cooking/showers/air-con on the grid all the time which costs me 45units/month.

TiT!

Picked this beast off my plant....

Never had a problem changing Baht or USD. But had a lot of problems changing GBP. Usually I used my Thai debit card to get Dong out of the ATMs.

Why would you expect foreigners to hang out with people outside their social levels? Most of the foreigners I encounter were postmen/builders/tradesmen/etc. Met a cute Japanese girl in Siem Reap, she was a waitress in a bakery shop back home, her English was good. Being educated is not the norm, wherever or whoever you are in the world.

Every CD you ever purchased will fit on ONE USB drive. Or put it all on your phone and play via Bluetooth. Better to move with the times.
