    I've heard of those not seen them here, how well do they actually work?
     
    There are several qualities of PVC available with different wall thickness, since the OD is fixed the ID varies somewhat with the different pipe quality. Can the reamer beasties handle that?

    Crossy, there's a few configurations of that tool and the lead is tapered as to self center and adjust to the varying pipe ID then you try to send it in parallel.
    Usually I've used them to get the pipe out of tee's or 90's that are behind cabinets and concealed in walls. A little rudimentary but priceless when you're in those predicaments.
  2. The price quotes are a little shocking as my only experience is in Khon Kean rice country and the in-laws sunk two 6" wells last year for $12k baht each. They provided all materials which he installed included in the agreed price.
    The driller committed to go as deep as needed for water with flow or move and keep going until he found proper water. That happened at 60 meters. I know the regions aren't the same.

  3. Take down the bars as go betweens for the girl and customers and you'll have the streets and hotel lobbies even more crowded with independents working that run like mice when the law enforcers show up. We had it in Washington DC and called it a game of "cops and hoes", the cops come and the hoes run.
    Also it will push the women further to online hookups which is easy to do and hard to enforce.

    The red packets handed out at Chinese New Year are called 'Lai See'.   It is considered 'lucky money'   the amount is not important, the luck that the money imparts to the recipient and the giver is what matters to the Chinese (and Chinese Thais).

    Usually most people receiving Lai See will not spend the money, but instead will put it somewhere safe (perhaps with their Chinese household temple, where they put offerings to the various Chinese gods).

     

    The article stipulates he's giving money to the poor and helping those living hand to mouth,,so they can put the money on a shelf and wait for lucky?
  5. These are the declaration questions you need to answer.

    14 Mark an X in the Yes or No box. Are you or any family members traveling with you bringing commercial merchandise into the United States? Examples: all articles intended to be sold or left in the United States, samples used for soliciting orders, or goods that are not considered personal effects.
    15 If you are a U.S. resident, print the total value of all goods (including commercial merchandise) you or any family members traveling with you have purchased or acquired abroad (including gifts for someone else, but not items mailed to the United States) and are bringing into the United States.

  6. Seemed world class to me. I was most impressed with the green and red lights over eachc5c0155af4a0d2bec5c76f01fcea989a.jpg parking space indicating open or full. The toilet room was pretty impressive also. Luckily I didn't have to sit as I saw no instruction manual for the commode.
    Also the up and down escalators were adjacent rather than making you walk halfway around to get out.

  7. We did the same. Married in BKK and name change locally. Maybe need your marriage cert. and your passport translated but not sure about that. I seem to remember we had to go to a larger city for her driving license name change rather than the local one. The passport change later sounds right due to restrictions on ticket and ID needing to match.

  8. At this point you may consider talking with a good visa service company. The one I use for everything advised me against applying for a tourist visa to the U.S. for my wife, which I thought was a little crazy. Instead they recommended a CR-1 I think it was (2 year green card) and sure enough she got it.
    I think the professionals understand what the embassy's are looking for and could help review your previous attempts and give you some advice. I have read sometimes the third time is the charm also.
