Any motorcycle shop will be able to patch it,  even the motorbike Taxi stand on every corner carry patching equipment.

Have you ever been in a polling station here?

My wife will again be working all weekend as an election scrutineer, now she tells me there are no screens, just tables with ballot boxes on them.

Before you tell me i am wrong, that was exactly how it was at the last election.

 

Kasikorn uses the code TFN05027- TFN05029 for international transaction and shows it in far right column if the bank book.

Weight of water is (approximately but close enough)  1 Kilogram per litre.

Nirun another gem in the city.

Keha Theprasit, 9 Karat, and Flybird are some more gems.

repair guys who work for the manufacturers don't seem that interested in fixing anything.

That's mostly been my experience too...they say parts are not available and/or quote silly money for the part,

it pays to keep an eye out for the various local fix-it shops as they will at least try and often can fix the "unfixable"

I used a local "Mr Fix-it" that does all kinds of electrical repairs

Ok I'll post  the location of the place I've used in the past in case anyone else needs it.

they also repair fridges  of a silly someone who punctured the refrigerant line while trying to de-ice it with a screwdriver  Doooh

big top loader

I think we had this " discussion"  somewhere in these forums before   top loaders do not have a heating element.

Front loaders (mostly) do have a heating element.

 

You can get a separate electric  water heater that is specifically designed  for things like washing machines, bathes and washing up dishes etc...they are not the same as the  ubiquitous shower heaters which should not be used for that purpose.

A local repair shop took it away,

Who did you use ?

 

My LG washing machine  developed a drive motor/gearbox fault  in 2015  I went to Amorn and found they had

an exactly "look alike part"  ( took the old one to compare) but no mention of what machine it was for   so I took a chance and bought it for 950 baht   fitted it at home myself and its still working to this day.

 

Before that in 2012 the main control board went wrong, a local "engineer" replaced it x2  for 1000 baht

each ballot has a serial number I believe and that can be traced to the actual name.

If that's so then its a serious flaw...  every ballot paper can and should have a serial number for proper counting

but there should not be a record of what number ballot a particular voter received,that completely negates the concept of a secret ballot.

Exactly the same with perol/gasoline..

at last the truth emerges that the bikes log book is being held by a loan shop against a loan

Ohh dear...it happens a lot...when you get a new plate  make sure to secure it well either use "nylock" nuts

and/or  super glue the threads  especially on the frame that holds the number plate to the backing plate, they are prone to vibrate loose and fall out then the number plate can slip out whilst driving along and you never know where it went !

Is one really enough for you?

No...one is not enough
its always one more then everything is A ..OK [emoji39]

 
In my own extended Thai family the lack of knowledge of laws, regulations etc etc., is sometimes frightening.
 

Maybe they think that over throwing a democratically elected government via military coup is perfectly legal and justified.
