  1. Maybe AAC block is different, but with render on cement walls you can have this problem. As I said it was extremely hot in the hole rendering the cement pool walls. Just tapping with my knuckles I could hear a different sound in some areas of the rendered wall. Others may no (probably will) more than me.
  2. Did you tap all the plastered walls to see if there's any sound difference? We rendered some of the pool when it was too hot and some places didn't stick to the concrete...had to cut out and do again.
  3. Yes there's grass hopper structures going up everywhere in our part of God's Country. See what happen with the first big winds. Sanerio: structures blown down, millions of grasshoppers, there go the crops we are now planting. Have to start drinking again. :)
  4. The rocket festival yesterday did it. :) Beautiful rain outside (and inside :()
  5. Buxxer! How easy it is to make a mistake. Today I got a message from Australia Post saying they would close my account due to inactivity. Oh Dear :( I could be OK as I had to log in......now thinking maybe not...buxxer again. Ohhhh Dear. What should/ might happen next? ...thinking... There again I had my VPN on, so should be OK maybe buxxer buxxer buxxer.
  6. My Thai son and family live in a 7 or 8 building complex. Extremely difficult to find a parking space. When all the spaces are full you leave the car in neutral, brake off and park infront of the cars parked in the parking spaces. He's got 2 cars and so do a few others. When we visit he (6th floor no lifts) keeps going down stairs to move my car until he gets a good parking spot. Usually people are very patient.
  7. ....and the yellow shirts? People will only stand so much.
  8. No not correct. Have a look at Bondi Junction. Maybe illegal but still done.
  9. No, they ride on the footpath in Aus too. I think not many people mind these very low paid workers making a living in this GIK economy.
  10. TENS machines do work on some people. Not too sure about broken bones. You would have to buy one and try it. If it's for bad pain, that continues and other remedies are not really working, there is a Spinal Chord Stimulator. The latest ones are more effective in blocking pain signals to the brain. Sorry for you trouble. Get better soon.
  11. We had 1 ATM Bangkok Bank ATM in the nearest City (45 km round trip). In the 711 they placed it the direct sunlight and it kept breaking down, so they removed it sitting 711 rent too high. Now nearest Bkk Bank is 70 odd Km away.
  12. With Bangkok Bank, when the 1 year fixed deposit is finished, I had to make another 1 year fixed deposit and new bankbook. Anyway I understand the procedure now. Thank you. It's not only Bangkok Bank that has caused a difficulty with not allowing joint accounts (that's why I'm transfering to a new bank), but my Australian bank was supposed to send our new credit cards 3 weeks ago but nothing arrived. I rang them and they said they didn't send them as they couldn't fit the Thai address in their computer format. They never contacted me. Also they then froze my credit facility until we sign for the new cards. I usually only use my credit card for airline and accommodation booking, but I like to have access to money if something goes wrong. They're all the same now...money, money..money
  13. Thanks. I also normally just leave all the money in for the full year. But for the FD account don't you have to start a new bank book or FD each time you change the amount in there? Eg: If I open a FD for (now B2000), then I add 400000, don't they have to start another FD of 4002000? Therefore another bankbook.
  14. Or the top guys at the Lam Chabang Port. One guy I dealt who had about half a kilo of gold around his neck. The sentiment was that if I didn't pay the extra bits they wouldn't unload my stuff in the container, then charge me storage fees! Sometimes you really need a Remington 6 shot semi-automatic shot gun with maximum shot in the cartridges. See how his bits and pieces feel after that.
  15. Before I had the money in a 1 year investment account. I don't know if I could open an investment account with nothing and then transfer the money in 2 lots. So I just open a normal savings account in my own name?
  16. I want to transfer my Retirement Visa B800000 to another bank. I was thinking, go and withdraw the money from the bank, drive 80 km and deposit in my new bank, all on the same day. But I won't technically have the money in the bank for 365 days. Or if I can't deposit until the next day I will be short 1 day. How do you change banks with the 800000?
  17. So you had the cataracts removed? Can you recommend a Dr.? What cost were both eyes? My wife needs to visit about her eyes/cataracts. Thanks
  18. Sorry, bit off topic but who is the best cataract removal/lenses replacement dr there? And cost?
  19. That's probably the same as this supplier is telling me. Did they deliver to your house as part of the deal, or did you pay for Kerry? My guy says all included delivery to you. Thanks.
  20. But did they include some extra cost for duties in the price so that you didn't pay on delivery?
