  1. Charlie, we have enough tourists up here now. Don't encourage more.
  2. Looked at the video on one of the News channels, obviously after the shooting. Some in the crowd were still fighting amongst themselves while police in uniform stood by and watched. Looks like it is not their job to stop fights.
  3. When are these climate changers going to look at what controls the weather, thence climate. It is not the atmosphere but the Gulf Steam in Europe and eastern USA, the Southern Oscillation index in South America, Australia and everything between, and the Indian Ocean Dipole in southern Asia and the east coast of Africa.
  4. Hilger and Watts more likely WW2. There is no way it can set a level at 3km even in perfect adjustment. Have probably used one in my time but luckily they later made them with an upright image (but you can get used to the inverted one).
  5. Not really related but today went into a parking lot at the local police/ administrative buildings. Could not believe that someone had parked their Fortuner between rows of parked cars blocking access. Had to do a mea culpa when we looked at the front of the vehicle that was smashed in. The police had obviously left it there.
  6. They did not specify what titles this section applied to. Thailand does have an "adverse possession" law even for chanote but i doubt that this applies to the government. They are probably talking about the lesser titles where the government applied conditions on use. Maybe the writer of the article does not understand land titles.
  7. Have seen them down to B55000 at various times at other places. Have been looking at them for a couple of years and would be great in dry season. It is so wet up here at the moment that the 40kg push mower sinks into the ground, let alone one of those at 200kg+, + rider.
  8. If you want to spend 30k you could also look at a Husqvana. I have a Polo bought from KTW for under 10k to do 3 rai. Some of the fittings are a bit rough but you are only cutting grass. The only problem is that is a bit hard to start, so no good if your wife is doing the mowing.
  9. OP, I use a Citi, now NAB, card from Australia and the exchange rate for AliExpress purchases is reasonably close to to the bid rate on XE. As said above it should only be 2-3% from the mid market rate. But that could vary depending on your bank.
  10. All of the above posts in support of the fisherman? Try doing these things in Australia. You will be fined for being in a boat without a fishing license. Don't dare take a piece of washed up seaweed off the beach to use as garden fertilizer or you will be fined as well.
  11. By that same reasoning cars in the mountain areas should have cold/hot air-con but they don't.
  12. 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.
  13. Looks like he is trying to deify himself.
  14. Worse than a Thai build.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. Did an actual person write that cr*p or was it a robot that cannot help talking to it's self.
