My American friend and I went (second time) to the post office this morning to see why the EMS parcel he paid 1400 baht to send to America 2 months ago ( promised 5 day delivery) had still not arrived
the "post mistress" was adamant that due to Covid (zombies) the USA where not excepting any mail from Thailand ! I mentioned that Thailand hadn't had a Covid case for weeks so why would America not be excepting mail from Thailand (Thailand not excepting American mail maybe)
and that EMS tracking showed it had got to BKK airport and that American side tracking had no record of the parcel...she insisted it was Americas fault but in the end gave us 2 forms to fill in to start an insurance claim.

red for live and black for neutral and a separate earth wire (yellow at my suggestion)
Are you sure he actually used the black for neutral because black is "normally" (often) Live in Thailand.
maybe out of habit he got things mixed up ?

How about starting by scraping the tax on solar products and paying people to feed electricity into the national grid.

luxury rental condos in the range of Bt25,000 to Bt150,000 per month are suffering
150,000 baht per month for a condo !!!! must have been some sort of corporate tax write off scheme I just can't comprehend who in "their right mind" would spend such huge amounts of money to rent a condo
PS yes I can't afford to spend that much but wouldn't even if I could ????

Moral of the story always set up your stall behind (opposite to direction of traffic) a large road sign

However, around 20 officials from the army also were present and told the media that we were not allowed into the meeting, as the land belonged to the air force. They also told the media not to release any news about this matter and to only do so following a letter of permission.
ohh dear and
QuoteDr. Panwipa Klitsadapong, manager of Star Dome said that Star Dome had bid for the rights to manage this golf course for 30 years, from 2007-2037, investing over 200 million baht in the nine hole golf course and driving range along with all of the other facilities and landscaping. After signing the contract, the army contacted them to tell them that thirty years was too long and asked to renegotiate every three years, when the rent would increase by 5%
Another reminder to those thinking of "investing"

That's why they drive like lunatics,tailgate and don't look before merging into traffic because an amulet will protect....no wonder then nearly 8000 dead on the roads this year so far.
( not counting those who died in hospital or on the way to hospital)

using engine braking is one of the best way to slow down the bike aside from the brakes
Not many other (sensible) options left.... stick your foot on the tire like we did as kids on pedal bikes , run it into a brick wall,aim for the chubbiest person on the zebra crossing...I haven't tried a parachute ????

No trash as theirs no foreigners to drop it.
Well I sat on Jomtien beach for a few hours (and a few beers) on Tuesday there where a lot of Thais there but surprisingly they where quite good about taking their rubbish away..the bins that are normally situated on the beach side of the road where missing so they either took it with them or to the bins across the road..normally they just leave it on the beach...I did see the new "super duper" musical dustcart/rubbish removal van pass by twice too !!!!
