So the mods have come back to protect their masster baters.

You are a deadset tosser or <deleted>. I reported what actually happened but you made up something different in your illuminated mind. It was the bank that had to do the contact, that they did, not us. Total <deleted> that has a keyboard.

They are better when you are fitting a metal attachment (tap etc) to the pipe. But be careful that you do not over-tighten the fitting or the plastic surrounding the brass will break.

We had 999 baht put into our joint account a little while back. While the wife told the bank to refund the money they took nearly a week to find someone that could speak to me in English so I could confirm her instructions. Crazy.

CBA are offering 4.9% for 11 months. Trouble is when you hit the icon to accept the site says not found. This was this morning.

It is an old wives tale started by women like my lovely wife who do not really want to share the durian with their husband.

Alcohol is cheaper than both.

At what exchange rate? Or you do not ncare.

You are too smart for this forum.

We have had dry + hot temperatures during the wet season in previous years but not at this time of the year March was fairly normal with a couple of mild storms but April has been too dry. Even though temps are 37-39 during the day we have had only one storm, almost three weeks ago. A couple have passed us by on the other side of the mountain, which is not unusual. We expect rain every 2-3 days at this time of the year but today i was out with the sprinklers on the front lawn. The new grass that grew after the last storm in now dead.

With a GDP of 1.6%, largely due to government spending, and well below Russia & China. Happy times are here again?

Tell me about it. Had to leave a storm up here (temperature dropped 10C to 25C) to drive down to the city in the afternoon.

Try OFX, they quote a set rate that you can accept or not. THB is sent and my bank (KBank) deduct their own fees about 0.15%. But overall the rate received is not much different to KBank quoted TT rate. But your home bank might also have fees with a direct SWIFT transfer.

Yep, the RTP & Taksin verses the Army & associates.

We provide bananas for the bulbuls who can be a bit fussy if we do not slit them open so they do not need to go through the skin. They love the bird bath as well. The problem is keeping the mafia (myrnar) birds away but they can see me coming through darkened glass windows and insect screens. Amazing eye sight.

Still waiting up here as the storms are going up the Phetchabun valley, not the highlands. At least the temperature dropped a couple of degrees today.

Even if it is a Scottish accent that no one can understand. You are making a goat of yourself..

Well, who would have known there was money in smuggling coconuts.

I see this as a conflict between the Army and the RTP, supplying information to discredit the other, to look after their own interests. The change of government from Army to PT (remember Thaksin ran the RTP) has a few people on their toes. <snip>

The source of the article was the NYT. what would they know about OZ. As has been stated the cost of everything has gone crazy according to friends and family back there. The current housing/rental problems are a direct result of the immigration policy. You cannot have 20000 come into the country every month and not have a problem, it is impossible to build that amount of accommodation.

Sorry mate, I have just been outside and realised it is a full moon. You should be okay tomorrow.

But I don't have a 6ft fence to make me cosy.

Only for novices, if you ask them nicely.

You appear to not have got outside of your 6ft city fence. Must be a cosy world in there

Take a look at the third photo from the OP, and that is after he cut it.
