  1. ok for ที่ตักขยะ ( my phonetics is not correct because English is not my language ) 

    it's the dustpan that you find everywhere in Thailand, a very common everyday object

    thanks for the Thai script 

    I know too the square oil can, the one I speak about is in plastic, but they have the same function

    I use fish oil every day so that is my "stick".

    I believe everyone should take fish oil or some kind of Omega's.

     

    I take fish oil too, it seems to be very good for my happiness, but I have a question : can we take it every day all our life or after a while it's better to stop and start again; too much fish oil is not dangerous for the health ? 

  3. Hello 

     

    a woman from Amway comes everymonth to my house and sells her products ( protein , multivitamins ) to my girlfriend

    as we know, Amway is good but very expensive, and my GF believes everything this womans says

    I want that she gets rid of this woman and buys somewhere else; do you know an alternative ? 

    I  have bought already some products to iherb.com , and they are much cheaper than Amway ; but are they as good as Amway ? 

     

    today I got a little bit angry with the Amway woman and I told her to come every two months, not every month, I would like that my GF spends less money with these products, and I am not sure she really needs it

    American blues in French just never sounded quite right to me. Creole may be..

     

     

     

    You are right, I love american music ( Rock and blues ) and it's true that English language is much more adapted to rock and blues sonorities

    you can't sing every thing in French, that's why Johnny Hallyday didn't get a big success in Usa 

     

    Edith Piaf was also a singer that French loved because she sings with her heart 

     

    more songs

    I am French and yes, he was a super star in France ( like Elvis ) ; I think he will have national funerals  and something like a celebration on Champs Elysées 

     

    ( in fact, he was Belgium ) 

    BsBs, what I write makes  you laugh, but you must be French and  belong to francophone world to understand, he was a huge star , same level than Edith Piaf

    As tgeezer very accurately said, @Aforek , you seem to have completely misunderstood the topic.

    you are right, I didn't see the "ทำเบียนบ้าน" , ( tambian ), of course it's ทะเบียนบ้าน

    I need some glasses, I agree with you but, as for me, I never say ทำเบียนบ้าน but ทะเบียน

    บ้าน 

    sorry for my " reading too fast " mistake 

  7. "No Thai would ever say ทำเบียนบ้าน! "

     

    And you, what do you say, and what Thai say ? Sorry, I hear some Thai people say " tabian ban" and every body understands it 

     the name written on the first page is " สำเนาทำเบียนบ้าน"; it's not correct ?  

    What should be the correct name? please don't write a complicate and long name , Thai people like short 
     

  8. For the guy who says that a trip from London to China by train would be great, sure for the landscape, but are you ready to spend 5 days in a train ? I have spent 48 hours in the past and I know I am not ready to do it again 

     

    for the high speed train in Thailand, I  have seen the TGV in France ( my country ), I have walked along the fences, much work to do  to install them  and much security to have; I like Thailand but I think they are too much  " mai pen rai " to have a such train ; in Europe  or Japan, ok , but Thailand is too much "undisciplined "

    A military force made up of 23 countries - I'd guess the single largest unit will be Interpreters with an insignia featuring the tower of Babel.

     

    Except for the air force, they'll speak English.

    What is funny is that the common language of EU will be English , even after Brexit ( I am not an English speaking guy, no problem for me , I like English language and  mankind needs a common  language )

    Very sad that an evil nation that tried to conquer the world (and lost) is now calling the shots, and the countries that Britain saved are helping them to do it. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished :(

    it's the course of history, everything is moving, look back, many alliances have been defeated and rebuilt ( google traduction, sorry, I hope it's correct English )

    The EU wants the UK back because it has Greece, Italy and even Spain.  Need I say more.   Also 30 years ago, how many Muslims and Africans were living in the

    UK compared with how many are there today, just a curious question, as I have seen the changes in France, Holy Teledo, a lot of changes , and Arab sections with Arabic Stop signs and business signs etc.

    Geezer

    Who says that EU wants the UK back ? it's a suggestion from an English man 

  11. To the OP : you say you speak fluent Thai ? the answer to your problem is easy : do like me, speak Thai before  they open their mouth, they will answer in Thai 

    Thai people don't like farangs who speak Thai ? prostitutes, tourists places, yes 

     

    upcountry where I live, they like that I speak their language 

     

    Above, you speak about Quebec, and the French they speak : it's old French ; I have many problems to understand them when they really speak to each other, and in France we don't like their 18 th century accent 

  12. I have a treatment with Sri Mahaphot hospital for 2 months, they have found how to treat  my problem and now I "ll go every three months to get my ( not many ) meds, I don't pay 30 bahts but price is so low ( 500 bahts for three months and blood check ) that my health insurance gives me back all my money ; the only inconvenient is 5 hours wait, but every three months , it's ok and staff is quiet and nice 

  13. I came to immigration this afternoon and SCB bank this morning ( immigration Prachinburi)

    this morning, I asked my bank to update my fixed account, I was ready to put  some  money , but she refused, saying it's a fixed account, and next update  is in two  months ( but she wrote something in thai on the letter , maybe to explain it )

    this afternoon,  I showed all my papers and they did the extension even if my book is not updated today

    I use Fish Oil 500 from Giffarine, I imagine it's similar to Amway's stuff.

     

    I don't know what is in it as the description on the label is in Thai

    I think it's about the same system, pretty expensive

    I have ordered some from I herb, it will come to my home next week, I guess ; not expensive , from USA ( payed with Paypal ) ; 

    3-4 times cheaper than Amway ( but Amway 1 pill/day, iHerb 2 pills / day  ) 

  15. Thanks for the answers, I have heard of this pyramid selling organisation  and I don't intend to enter this system

    what I see from above is that their products are good, and , comparing with other fish oil, 90 capsules for 800 bahts don't seem more expensive than the others

    I have read from other posts than iherb ( online, no post duty with Thailand ) is pretty good and cheap

    and really, is fish oil so good ? ( I have a moderate high blood pressure and moderate diabet and get a treatment already  )
