Thai people call " farang kee nok " ( farang bird poop ) people as the OP said of course there is a sort of despise in this name many years ago I visited a family near Isan province, just because I liked their way of life, but I had enough money , not poor at all just because I was not in Phuket, Pattaya, etc , they though I was " kee nok "

Thanks, but it's the old "settings "; when I choose " settings " I have a page "main parameters", very few things of interest and I don't know how to find "when Edge starts ", like before you have still this page as in your picture ? Why I have a very short page " main parameters" ? btw, I like Edge and I don't want to change

Oh Koh Phi Phi, What have you become?
Aforek replied to Cornish Pasty's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
That's what I tell myself, it concerns all the places we have known and like in Thailand ( for me between 1975 and 1985) Nowadays, the countryside is still pleasant to live in -
Oh Koh Phi Phi, What have you become?
Aforek replied to Cornish Pasty's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
There are still many places to live in Thailand, but upcountry my village is 4 kms far from the amphoe, at a distance of 15-30 kms, we have Big C, Thaiwatsadu , every thing we need, Lazada etc .... I think it's like life in Issan, many people don't like it ; as for me, I am not boring, always something to do I love the sea, not too far from here, there is Rayong, not too full of tourists, most are Thai, beautiful beaches -
Hello, I'm using Edge and "Settings" has completely changed. How do I change the start page? I want to remove MSN. Thanks.

Oh Koh Phi Phi, What have you become?
Aforek replied to Cornish Pasty's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What you say reminds me of Pukhet and Ko Samui ( about in 1980 ) now I live upcountry, no tourists and I know it will stay the same because there is nothing special for tourists and I am very happy here Thailand destroys his treasures, yes, but not every country I am French and there is in my country a very touristic place ( Bretagne, Brittany ) : south is very well preserved, I went 10 or 15 years after a first stay, nothing has changed .... I always compare this situation with Thailand and I am very sorry when I see what Thailand has done, all this for money -
Thank you all for your responses ; snakes I speak about are young cobras ( two in my house and also in other houses in the village ) rosemary and lavender, are there some in Thailand, not too hot for them here ?
-
Hello I have sometimes snakes in my house, I put some protections, but for more efficiency, I would like to put snake repellent near my door which one do you recommend ? I don't want chemical, I know that naphtalene is good, but too dangerous for humans and other animals thank you

With taxes prepaid with Amazon, UPS or DHL deliver goods without trouble, nothing more to pay ? There is something to pay with UPS and customs if there is no tax prepaid ? Here, I think that Amazon forgot to say that I have paid already, that's why UPS asked me to do paperwork and pay
-
Today the package was canceled and returned to Amazon, who will refund me. The official version was that some documents were missing. I wonder about the person at UPS who acted as if everything was normal and asked me to go and register at a customs office and with the Ministry of Agriculture (because there was some wood in the package). She even presented me with an invoice (1,460 baht). At one point, I wondered if it wasn't a phishing. If so, it's very fine, but I don't think so because they presented me with a realistic document from Amazon related to my purchase. In any case, I said that I no longer wanted UPS; I wanted SF courrier, which would bring the package directly to my home, at no extra cost.
-
Yes, I have everything from Amazon, I am a regular customer and I don't understand why it's in Thai customs I chat with somebody in Amazon and he told me it was a mistake , but the item is still in thai customs I have paid USD 48.87 import charges and total is 202 € , I have the invoice the tracking says that the courier is UPS ; again, what UPS has to do here ? Normally it's a normal Thai courier in motobike or car who gives me the item, never UPS and I pay nothing
-
Hello I am a regular customer of Amazon.com ( usa ), so far I received my item directly at my home, nothing to pay because I paid taxes when I bought the item today, i am told that my item is at Thai customs , my carrier is UPS and ups asks me 1400 bahts ( I have paid already import charges ) is it normal, has Amazon changed their methods and now works with UPS, Fedex etc ? or somebody made a mistake and sent the item to the wrong place ? thank you
-
ok, thanks, I don't use it

Hello, I received this Philips surge protector https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Protection-Indicator-SPP3461WA-37/dp/B076JJ3N1T?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.jwnEsPN7UbE789oICqyC01G7My1Zsipcx5VBtJQLqOBEGS23cpAdzuyUH9Ly87bwMoD6fOrNB84yv6Mj3yvfi__jvZ9rW6PMWKxgqe9_7MGkR_O0QbzP2oti7HH41E18l_kde0i_0YXnU1aCizFo8ky8 but I think it's suitable for USA, not for Thailand what do I have to do to use it here ( converter, which one ? ) ? Thanks

Why are you still in Thailand, not in Vietnam?
Aforek replied to JoseThailand's topic in General Topics
OP, because Vietnam is fashionable, you want us to go there? And in 10 years, it will be a different country, so we'll have to leave Vietnam because it's no longer fashionable? I've been in Thailand for 15 years, I like it here, and I won't leave because people tell me it's supposedly bad. -

Woman Mauled by Pit Bull Cross She Adopted From Shelter
Aforek replied to Georgealbert's topic in Central Thailand News
Agree " 'there's no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners." very stupid and wrong ; they are animals , they are naturally agressive or not , but you don't know what can happen , some owners who loved their dog have been bitten or killed by him you don't know what happens in their head , like people who raise baby lion or panther, they are still dangerous, it's in their genes -
Woman Mauled by Pit Bull Cross She Adopted From Shelter
Aforek replied to Georgealbert's topic in Central Thailand News
Not agree at all, I don't understand why people adopt dangerous dogs : there are other nice dogs , pitbulls and similar should be forbidden ; from the start, dangerous and agressive dogs i am sorry and not sorry for this woman ; I hope she will adopt other sort of dogs in the future and putting glasses on the dog is a big lack of respect -
I see that you know French politics ( As said above, I am French ) , you are right In the first round, the RN has a strong chance of being in the lead, but for the second round, opponents from all sides will go to prevent them from being in power, Le Pen has already lost 3 elections (as well as her father) for this reason.

90 day report online rejected again
Aforek replied to DaRoadrunner's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Prachin buri province ; it worked for me at the beginning, two years ago , during one year ; suddenly, in march last year, always " rejected " and I did everything correct ; the I.O told me " It 's Bangkok " , as if the decision came from somewhere in BKK ; and suddenly, last month, it worked ! " accepted " I think there was a bug somewhere and they have correct it my opinion ; try, again and again, maybe one day it will be Ok -
