For supposed territorial creatures, we had 3 last night, down on the porch floor chasing the big flying bugs!! The missus and her niece came screaming in shutting the outside light and double entrance doors and screen. They are scared sh.tl.ss of 'em!! ????????????????????????????????

Little Thai children are taught bedtime stories if they’re not quiet and go to sleep the tokays are going to come and eat their hearts out of their chest.

They are still talking like Chinese Flu is a death sentence

99.99% of the world's population haven't died from it 

There’s still a lot of money to be made off of this by the global virus scaremongers. Why would they let your little 99% fact get in the way? 

 Burn and Loot your neighborhood followed by 20 years of ghetto blight then bring on the gentrification, problem solved! See Washington D.C. and the ‘68 riots. Real development and money never came back until the affected areas were rife with gang violence, drug infested open air prostitution plagued and real estate was worthless.

  Then enters the big money and drive out the unwashed. 

I’d look for a refund ‘cause that car looks pretty screwed to me. 

Didn’t involve my wife to switch. Fill out the forms and get in the qué. 

You think he’s gonna tell them which women he may have visited? 

Emirates says a briefcase and handbag can come in the cabin. I assume no carryon reduces time and congestion going through security and stowing/retrieving overhead luggage onboard.
 This should reduce people’s exposure to others who are possibly infected so all the Covid’s gonna get you fear mongers should be pleased with these policies.

It seems entirely arbitrary. In Amphur Muang Khon Kaen, they DIDN'T want the passport things but here in Phon, same province, 80-odd km. away, they did and wouldn't budge on that.

Yup same phon experience, translated passport, witness/reference person, parents names and more. It has been helpful for drivers licenses, banks and immigration a few times over the years which makes me think it was worth it. 

Last time this came up recently it was a loose wire connection on the back of the rcbo if I remember correctly. Days of speculation before pulling the breaker and seeing the back scorched a little. 
You can see the thread in the electrical forum.

idiot...blacklist him.

I think he was born on that list. The immigration “master plan” stood out to me. I’ve live in the same place a lot longer and nobody’s been by. Guess it’s just a matter of time. 

Maybe after 15 years he’s just learned to play the game Thai style, “but I’m poor and have no money”.

 Might be smarter than he’s being given credit for on here. 

Good selfie picture hi-so backdrop. 

If teaching a group of kids with no maskS or social distancing is praise worthy then why not open the schools. Same same 

Trusted you to spend your time and gas to run their errand, amazing Thailand. 

Easy and versatile for cooking and reheating. 

All my little fish stays stays are charged in advance, on arrival or secured by a crest card on file, no chance of skipping out. They failed to secure their money with a whale, sucks to be them.

We were having extensions done recently when the cement truck brought down the power pole. Found out later that we owned the pole, not PEA. The builder knew it was the drivers fault but did not want to get him into trouble so we agreed to replace the pole 50/50 between the builder and us. 2800 baht for a new pole and the builder did the connections.

Wow. 

Reinventing the wheel should never be abandoned. Post some pictures of the process should you actually do this.
