  1. Just thinking more about it and the problem may have started after the tree fell on the shed. Only the top 1m of the tree hit the shed. So it could have made the gap at the apex join bigger and water flowing down between the metal and insulation. Will get the guys to check.
  2. Thanks, could be ...will get the guys to check.
  3. Thanks for reply. The roof is factory painted with that pressed silver heat sheild, but that is all peeling off.
  4. I thought (but unsure) that the steel garage roof is leaking around the roof screws. (The roof screws have that black washer around the head). I can't get up on the garage roof at the moment, so some of the locals are inspecting the roof. The garage has two dividing walls seperating the carpark, store room and aquaponics areas and it seems only the car park is affected. The ceiling paint is peeling off around many of the ceiling screws, as the pictures show, but there does not seem to be discolouration around the peeling paint that would indicate water leaking through the roof screws. Also the roof screws are in different places than the ceiling screws, so now I am not sure the peeling paint is from water. Can you have a look and give us some advice please? It's impossible to get a roof plumber around here. Garage Images: Aquaponics room on the left with the roll-a-door, storeroom in the middle and carpark on the right. Only the carpark has the problem. Carpark with the peeling paint around many of the ceiling screw holes. Water damage in the middle front from a falling tree.
  5. When in Thailand for awhile you get used to Thailand driving. Safe, as long as you drive the same (or nearly the same) as everyone else. Same every country you go to, you learn and drive like them. No problems...usually. Drove a motorbike for the first 4 years in Bangkok and up country. Only accident was out the back of MayHongSong when a guy riding a bike with a gaggle of live chickens and I collided. Both fell of but only going slowely.
  6. This forum is getting worse (love it :)). I'm glad our community standards are near rock bottom. 🙂
  7. Thanks for the reply. How does this work exactly?
  8. Thai's are under estimated. As a non-Thai you can get big and powerfull to a point, then the carpet is pulled from under you.
  9. Imm changed to a new 'wonderful' 90 day reporting system recently. I usually do my 90 day report on-line, but the last one (under the new system) was rejected. I rang our local Kalasin Imm. mob and they couldn't find it and said to submit again, which I did and it was approved. Give them a ring.
  10. Unfortunately our phones have only 1 SIM slot. When we travel from Thailand we need phone numbers from the country we are in. (We usually purchase a SIM at the country we are in airport). Would a virtual SIM be better? 1. What are the pros and cons of having a virtual SIM? 2. From your experience, which virtual SIM would you purchase?
  11. Mod. can you move this to Worst Joke Ever forum?
  12. What's wrong with that? NY GUNTRY is a place in Pakistan.
  13. Years ago students were mixing spirits with valium.
  14. I don't think tourists are idiots. My country doesn't have ID cards. Does the UK? So when you first arrived in Thailand and had a bit of hanky-panky, did you ask for them's licence or ID card? Specific places have their specials, gay bars, pump stations, S&M etc., but I just thought that Hua Hin could have caught this person off guard if he is a tourist or not part of the local scene. Anyway all speculation. Hang him I say. 🙂
  15. Proton if he is new to the sceen, a tourist, he wouldn't even know Thai girls have ID cards or have to be 20 years old. If he actually sought young girls out then he deserves what he gets.
  16. My barber had a sign (in Thai) for his haircut prices. It used to be B80 for a man and B100 for a gentleman. So as a delapidated older white model I used to give the barber B80, but he pointed to the gentleman B100 sign. So white older male persons are Gentlemen. 🙂
  17. Uttradit said : 'Why are you making excuses?' I'm making excuses for a young English man, if he is not part of the sceen and a tourist. i remember my first trip to Thailand and it was like Disneyland. Would never have thought there were underaged girls at bars.
  18. Great. So how do you know you have a underaged woman?
  19. So if you put 100 Thai women in a room, all done up, you could seperate the underage women? What about if you were a young tourist and not been here long?
  20. 'Grown men should be staying well away from 18 year oldish girls. How sad.' He was in his 30s I think. If you're a tourist, not been here long, how can you tell a 20 odd year old girl from an under 18 year old girl?
  21. If you are a visitor and not a regular at the bar scene, how would you know a girl is underage? So you pop into a bar for a drink, have a few, then expected to know if a girl (first of all, is a girl, then is under or over 18 years old [if that is the age]. I was in Manilla staying at this hotel and 2 young Americans were having a great time, then I didn't see them for about a week, then They came in one morning and quickly left. Seems they met some girls at the local Mac cafe. 2 am in the morning so said non-uniform, gun toting undercover police took them out of the hotel and kept them for ransom because the girls from the Mac cafe were underage. They had to withdraw money from their ATM for the police then off to the airport. Boy were they scared.
  22. I always give a 'thumbs up' if I don't understand and a 'laugh' for the rest. This "worst joke ever" forum has really horrible jokes (love it :)) but keeps all the Richard Craniems away. Great regular posters and no fighting like the other forums. Maybe because we've sunk as low as we can go? 🙂 I think it was Yellowtail who posted a joke, which I considered a really worst joke. To which he/she/them replied... 'Does that mean I win'. 555555
  23. You mean Rugby League? 🙂
