I heard oats were good. Rice is good too apparently early Western sausages was very common to use rice. I used panko breadcrumbs this time (2 cups per kilo). I do have a feeling it was the fat content of the meat though more than the binder

They don't do rusk or sausage seasoning. Already contacted them. They suggested cheese seasoning

To be honest mate can't remember. I did try lots of combinations a few years ago. I remember I did find it was much better grinding my own loin pork (very lean) and adding my own fat to be consistent. Just buying pork mince at Makro etc either way too fatty or way too lean. I might give it a try. I am after a nice firm but moist consistency. Many of the "best sausages you have ever tried here" usually mushy inside and if you cook them for a long time they get dry. I figured the rusk might give me the consistency I want

I spent an hour searching Lazada in different ways I couldn't find any rusk or seasoning? Have you seen some on there?

If you want natural pork skins some of the pork sellers at your local markets keep them. they are cheap too. They sell them to people making Isaan sausages. Collagen manufactured cases available on Lazada from China and pretty good too

Long shot I know but I know there are a lot of western bakery supply shops. Specifically after rusk (I know how to make it myself but would rather not) But some sausage seasoning mix etc would be interesting too. By the way ....not sure if its always been like this but no wonder anyone ever posts or replies here anymore. Stuck at the bottom of the extra forums which at first glance look like the IT forums. I been looking for ten minutes for the food in Thailand forum. Surely would be better off in general, or community forum. Food is a pretty important thing. According to Asean now Golf deserves it's own forum / sub forum.. anyhooooo...... Any help or leads appreciated

We got a free little box, like an Android box with our true internet. Its free and not the full True vision set up but handy for You tube, Thai TV etc. We have Netflix so don't use it too much but sometimes they have movies the other providers don't and with sub and have Thai TV for missus too. Problem is they have a search engine thing (little magnifying glass icon) which you would assume was to search their movies but it doesn't seem to search their own system / movies but searches Google, you tube etc. Really half cocked set up....or am I missing something or searching in the wrong area? Anyone use this system know how to search their movies?

Dont know for a fact, but been here 10 years and never heard of any common law relationship claim. No legal marriage, no asset division. If it is true though will be a lot of blokes in a lot worse situation than they thought. Would also apply to Thai males and I doubt they would pass a vote like that. Its a mans world here.

Like I said all about making the right contacts and doing the homework first I think. Don't expect anyone to reveal their suppliers lol. My wife didn't really do any homework before she went. Mrs reckons it's 1000 rai! Not really sure how much a Rai is but must be the size of a decent cattle farm at least

My missus did go there but she was looking for bags. Was a huge fail. She sat on a bus there and back 12 hours lol and came back empty handed. Sellers were very aggressive and unhelpful. Everyone told her markets there not what they used to be now same retail prices. She has since been told she went to the wrong area. I think its all about finding the right person / contacts. She didn't unfortunately

Interested in staining / coloring some leather bags (manufactured). A bit like staining wood I guess. Deep red tan sort of color. This sort of look. I have seen bags like this clearly been redone possibly with dye, as you can see the color has seeped into zippers etc. Over already colored / finished leather. Anyone have any knowledge? or can PM me if you like

But it states very clearly if you are an Australian citizen, and non resident for tax purposes providing you supply your bank with a tax file number and O'seas address with holding tax is 10%. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me either but do you agree that is the case? As for not supplying a tax file number, I though every bank account opened in at least the last 20 years it was mandatory to supply a tax file number?

My first observation would be it was reported his colleagues already knew this guy wasn't well, why they went to check on him. What good will random checks do anyway? Its not like sampling product to customers. Would have to be everyone and then more importantly findings acted on. That seems to be the problem here. A dollar short and a day late. Then a lot of promises and rhetoric, the messenger expecting kudos and praise before anything is actually done. And then all forgotten until the next time the wheels fall off. The worsening PM2 / air pollution problem and yearly promises to get tough a perfect example of that. Surely if they were serious about burning on farms it wouldn't be too hard to police. Usually can be seen in the night sky 20km away.

If you've given the financial institution your overseas address, the tax will be withheld at the rate of 10%. Without your overseas address, tax is withheld at 47% That is what I am referring to, unfortunately the particular bank I am dealing with (U bank) wont have a bar of it. And you can't pay it yourself. Already checked with my account she said definitely taxed at full rates if declared on tax return. But then I called ATO and they didn't seem to have a clue. I thought they were casual here. So unprofessional. In the end ATO said I could pay 10% on my tax return but they couldn't seem to understand the bit about non resident for tax purposes. And that was my third try with 3 different people. I would probably trust my accountant over the numpties I spoke to at the tax office....she was pretty definite about it Interesting though in the information you posted it sounds like all you have to do is give the bank your overseas address and tax file number, which I can probably change online....just edit it. Doesn't look like they have to agree to accept me as a non resident or anything. If they withheld more than the 32% tax looks like I would be within my rights to challenge it.

I am wanting to invest some money in an Australian bank which has particularly good interest rates atm, but they and many other banks discourage investment from Australians living overseas. I am an Australian citizen but been out of the country more than 2 years and my accountant has declared me a non resident for tax purposes (had no choice but to do this a couple years back or face a huge back tax bill) Normally with a bank you can declare yourself a non resident and pay a flat rate of 10% on interest earnings but this bank wont have a bar of it. You need an Australian number, residential address etc. Does anyone know if I invested the money with them and did my own tax return as a non resident if I will still only be liable for the flat rate of 10% or will I be up for full non resident tax rates (34%) on my interest?

You may as well walk around with a spoon in Thailand the BS and excuses that get dished up. My 6yo boy tells more plausible fibs than these people. Whats the bet the driver not only shirks responsibility for the accident with the most outrageous fantastical story, but has his paw out for damages. Just no shame

Shes looking at used bags and I agree with all the work involved, but happy to see she has an interest and Im not investing in the venture so have at it. Was there any particular day best to go, non weekend. I was thinking maybe a lot of sellers might shut Mondays...or maybe tuesdays no good after selling out on the weekend etc. Appreciate any advice u have

Mrs planning on selling second hand stuff online and apparently big border market selling used foreign goods this area As per Thailand she will go off half cocked lol and waste a 6 hour round trip. She will probably only have one day in the area. Just trying to find out a little more info for her re: is there more than one market and which is the best one to go to? Is there any day better than others to go ideally good selection of stock and not too busy I hear weekends very busy Would appreciate any info if anyone has any insights

Do you have any proof of purchase? Not 100% sure how it works here but back home govt registration is not proof of ownership. Only a lawyer could answer that, and sometimes they are more dishonest than the perps. The other question is how much does she have on you re proof you were operating or profiting from the business? Is there messages? Money trails? Not even sure how interested in these things immigration are. Just about every other ex farang gf in Thailand threatens to call immigration over this or that. Never seems to come to anything.

Ooooooh that annoys me. I usually make them sorry they do it to. In any culture it is just rude to blank someone

Having a particularly bad time this year with allergies. I guess it's hay fever.... bouts of sneezing and itchy watery eyes. I was using Fexofenadrine (full does 180mg) which seems to keep my sneezing at bay (just) but does little for the itchy eyes. So last two weeks tried Cetrazine (Zyrtec) and itchy eyes a bit better but uncontrollable sneezing. Just taken a Loratadine 10mg (Claratyn) see if that is any better. Will know in the next few days. I haven't taken them together of course....wait a day until trying a new one. Anyone have any suggestions? I guess every type of pill effects or helps in different ways with different people. Is there any such thing as once a day eye drops can be bought over the counter here for itchy eyes? I have some Antihistamine drops but using them about 4 or 5 times a day. Any help appreciated

Sorted thanks so much. Pretty easy per link changed my country on the play store app. Not sure if it made any difference but had the VPN through an Aussie server too. have the app now and all good. thanks for all the advise and replies ????

Thats exactly what I am doing. No go

Trying to download a banking app through Google play, and coming back with a message not available in your country (Thailand) I am using a VPN with an Australian server but no go Is there a setting in Google I need to change? Maybe my location or something or do I need to clear memory or turn GPS off or something? Appreciate any advice, and thanks in advance

Mrs is wanting to sell some secondhand stuff on Facebook as a side business. I am not overly FB / IT savvy but she is 5 rungs below me apart from taking a few selfies so trying to help her out. I had a look at creating a FB business page / shop linked to her main page but I can't see any real benefit to it over and above using her normal page. In fact it looks more clunky and difficult and possibly doesn't even have access to FB marketplace from there. She is not interested in online check out or any of those sort of features. If she uses a normal FB page she will probably just create a new dedicated one. Does anyone know much about selling on FB and / or benefits of creating a shop page? Appreciate any advice
