  1. Check your local Transport Department for any employees that moonlight as driving instructors. Very easy way to be assured to get a license, for a Thai anyway.
  2. The question you need to ask: are the outsiders foraging to feed themselves or to sell them. If they are selling them then the locals are right in stopping them.
  3. We have lemon grass planted all along our front boundary. Everyone is free to cut for their use but we have had some plants completely dug out.dug out. It does not matter to us and an elderly neighbour tends to help herself to some of our fruit trees but who cares. The owner in this case is a right twit, to put it mildly.
  4. We purchased an old house that had been used as a part time holiday rental and not looked after. The black, and green, mould covered every bit of concrete so was the only reason for buying the pressure washer. The other brands probably have a similar feature but the Takara has a bleach bottle attachment and two different nozzles, one to pre-spray with bleach at a low pressure and one for normal high pressure. If your concrete is exposed to rain you could find that the mould will come back each wet season as it seemed to be embedded in the concrete even after cleaning.
  5. I bought a Takara 165 bar from a local store (Lomsak) 4 years ago for exactly the same problem. I buy nearly every tool from the same store as they tell me what is good quality and what to avoid. Look local if you can
  6. Did an actual person write that cr*p or was it a robot that cannot help talking to it's self.
  7. Back in Samui for a few days and most of the booths have closed. Went to one with no rates displayed and asked for the AUD rate. Quoted 23.0, but knowing the XE rate was 24.5 was expecting around 24. Declined their offer and went to another with the same markings and was given 24.1
  8. Flew into Samui yesterday and the plane was full of Europeans plus a few Thais and normal people. Still quite by the old standards but definitely picking up.
  9. It was directly related to the operation as the doctor warned me that it could happen. The hospital offered more surgery, a vitractomy similar to the detached retina operation, to treat the posterior capsule opacity but I was not prepared to give them a second go.
  10. I had one done locally and he cut the lens capsule and could not clean everything out. Detached retina 2 months later
  11. I wonder if they have been reading about the Star/Crown casino inqiries in Australia. Owned by the rich and respectable people and now told they are not fit to have their licenses.
  12. Simon, from the number of people that attack your lifestyle makes me think they are jealous of you.
  13. I like to wear mine because several women have told me they think I am 20 years younger than I am. Not that I could do anything about it anyway.
  14. Was not really being that critical but went to a burning yesterday of a well known local farang. Of the two hundred people there were probably 20 farang, half not wearing masks at the beginning, but by the end most had masked to not be out of place with the Thais. Found it interesting that maybe we need to comply with the locals when in their company.
  15. My mistake, just looked at definition of a sewer and it includes both. I used to design sewers, the sanitary waste type, and never referred to stormwater drains as a sewer.
  16. How does garbage get into a sewer line, they are supposed to be a sealed system.
  17. Have not touched the weed for 50 years as it never really agreed with me. But on one occasion I hallucinated on it with the flowers on the wall paper turning into lions heads. I am sure it had nothing to do with the beer and 2 bottles of red wine consumed before as it was a friends buck's night.
  18. I was expecting to see posts from the crypto experts (pushers) that the fall is temporary and you should be buying now.
  19. Where did the writer get this from. There is very little difference between the ideologies of the churches except for some obscure doctrine that led to disagreement over 1000 years ago. It has been reported that the Russian church supports Putin but with all the BS around these days who would know.
  20. What is different. It has always been "negotiated" fares up here. Trouble is every driver has the same price.
