  1. You live in the wrong end of the country. Exceptionally dry up here with the wife having to water her fruit trees and vegetables. Last year it was very wet with one dry spell. Have not experienced it this dry before. Even when the barometer drops to what would normally mean rain, nothing.
  2. Why would anyone want to stay in one of those. Without a big balcony rail you would need to stay in bed.
  3. And many of them are just "short time" hotels.
  4. The mini rider/Polo suits my needs because of all of the low hanging trees and gardens but the small wheels are a worry. I have a Polo mower and while it is fine the joints of the panels are not that good. It has a Chinese Loncin engine that is good but hard to start. Interesting that the ride-on has a B & S engine.
  5. From my enquiries custom duties on them were only 10%, but that was from China.
  6. We have had them in the bananas up here.
  7. My property is a bit rough in parts due to old gardens not being levelled after use so there a rocks in it as well. The blades need to be sharpened monthly. Another question, do you have ribbed tyres or smooth. Just thinking about wet season with soft ground and also on slopes.
  8. Okay guys that have them, a couple of questions: 1. how do you clean the mud and clippings from under the mower 2. how do you sharpen the blades. With the push mower it is easy to just tip them on their side and clean with a hose. Blade easy to take off and sharpen on a grinder. Cannot imagine doing that with a ride on but if easy I will join the OP and buy one.
  9. I would need to see non filtered photos to believe that crap.
  10. It is the Tessabaan (Municipal Office) that does the approval up here. As you said there is someone there that will do the plans and get them approved. We paid 10000 baht 4 years ago. That included engineering plans and specs. But I hope the OP knows how to read building plans because the draftsman up here made a lot of stupid mistakes.
  11. Does Fauci fund labs out there?
  12. Your wife should make a will for the land (and everything) to go to you, at your local Amphur that they will witness and hold the original. After probate is granted you will have 1 year to transfer to a Thai or sell. Their fee is nominal.
  13. Yesterday we were called next door by a worker who found a very dangerous snake. It was trapped in some discarded plastic netting and could not move. The FIL wanted to kill it but the wife said that it looked at her and she wanted it released. Cut the plastic netting from around the snake (taking precautions of course) and it slivered off into the bush. It was a completely harmless copper headed racer but the Thai man insisted it was deadly.
  14. Can someone explain to me if "booming EV industry" means the same as "budding EV industry".
  15. Do not mind their forecasting but wish they would get the Khon Kaen and Phitsanuklok radars working so I can do my own. KK has been out of service for a week and PK forever.
  16. So it is not rum. Thanks
  17. It just says "blended spirits" on the bottle. Are you sure it is a pure rum?
  18. I thought that was yesterday when they lost Ashes 1. But maybe you are right as it will take longer to get over it today.
  19. Never, or rarely, get hungry. Eat out of habit, to stop weight loss and keep the wife happy.
  20. Very sad situation for you and family but this is exactly the same as my late wife in Australia. She had cancer, had all known treatments but the doctors decided that they could do no more so sent her home to die. Hard to take at the time but probably the best way, being home with family and friends.
  21. I do not have internet on my phone so there is no app. Just go along with all the children and do what the bank tells you to do instead of the bank doing what you want, and what worked perfectly well in the past.
