Yes, yes glad you didn't give up on me. ???? I must apologise as I was wrong and you are correct. Sorry for that. Bit embarrasing as I'm never wrong. (well that's a load of <deleted>). ????

Used to be.......not sure now .....TukCom ...go 1 floor down and there is a magical shop on the RHS that sells bearings, etc for all sorts of things. There are also some suppliers on Lazada and Shopee that sell blender bits and pieces. ????

Sorry....previous post was not there while I was dithering. ????

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy got the pearl car book, you got it today? 2: Aunt D. Come quickly, mom.

Sounds about right. We need to have a beer two. ???? When I lived in the NT, out camping I stopped the tinny at some BIG Croc tracks up the river bank. Little Sproc son and I got out to investigate (stupid I know). So we walked an Benjamin stopped and said: Look out dad!...here he comes!....I s**t myself and of we ran into the tinny. Now nearly 50 yrs later we still enjoy the memory. ????

Hi, I am with Kalasin Immigration. I look at it this way: as part of your visa requirement you need to have the B800000 in a bank account. Just park it in a reputable bank, fixed deposit and forget about it. I Have a Bangkok Bank fixed deposit for for the B800000, I just leave it there and forget about it. I show Kalasin Imm once a year. If you're going to chase interest rates then you have to remember the rules about the time it has to be actually in the bank, ...months before ....months after...too complicated for me. Also the person with the retirement visa has to open a new account, so they would be bank hopping, a pain. Extra interest is probably less than B 5000 anyway. ????

Do you mean beer made by expert German beer makers? That would be super fresh Leo.

The law was first bought in to stop Chinese from owning all the land. Farangs were not even considered back then.

'ประเทศจีน and คนจีน, pronounced pratet cheen/Jeen and khon cheen/ Jeen, are Thai for China and chinese person/people.' Soooo, what's wrong with this? คุณไทย คุณจีน ????

Used to love the comedy shows at star dice. That's where I learnt the expression EeeDocTong. They always used it and everybody laughed. Wouldn't use that expression myself though.

Pffffffftt she said, cheeekely.

Both these work, watching them now.

Drinking hot Leo.

I don't think that's correct. You can get heart trouble as a result of scratching, where the infection affects the heart valves.

Hi, you must have missed my post. I'm reasonably sure the screen is burnt and exibits that grey/bluish look. In old technology screens with blue, green, red colored screen pixels, if you continued to use one part of the screen alot it burnt or flared that part of the screen (that's why they had those screen saver programs that moved the scanning electron beam randomly around the screen). I just saw this greyish screen yesterday on a wheel alignment screen and remembered back to monitors at the TV broadcast stations having test patterns burnt into the screen. So the problem will just keep slowely getting worse. Increase the font intensity and size and decrease the contrast is the way to go.

I want to take our bikes with us when we travel by car. Anyone installed a 2 bike car toebar on their car, or know where to get one installed? I have seen the car bike carry racks advertised on Lazada, but not knowing the quality I would rather go have a look before installing one. We will be in Bangkok and Pattaya over the next 2 weeks if anyone has a installation place recommendation. Thanks.

So when speaking to a Thai person you never say Khun Thai?

Waiting .....

So khun Thai is addressing someone name Thai?

Boy, over and out. ????

I was wrong once back in 1963.

Well can you say Khun Jeen?

Ask your teacher next time you see them. Khun Thai, Khun Jeen, Khun Carl, Khun Falang...it doesn't matter. So, can I correctly say Khun Thai nung khon? Yes. So why can't I say Khun Jeen nung khon? If you want to meet me on the Thai language forum I'll gladly discuss this in the Thai language. ????

Most things in Thai have classifiers. Kon is the classifier for people. Khun (polite) Jeen. Yes you could say Khun Jeen lay lay Khon. I don't think correct to say 'Person Jeen, many persons', but Khun Jeen 150 Khon is correct. Anyway, no one much cares, but I call a Chinese person Khun Jeen and a Thai person Khun (name). I call myself a Farang. ????
