  1. 30 years ago or so it used to be much worse than it is now. That said I have recently noticed an increase in the amount of garbage being thrown out on the roadsides. Seems like they are regressing. I have a neighbor in the mooban who refused to pay when the garbage collection went from 20 to 50 baht per month. They either burn garbage in a vacant lot or go find some road to dump it in.
  2. Looking at previous bills it is better to look at usage rather than cost. See if your usage has increased compared to before. Rates can change so not as good of a way to see what's happening.
  3. Without knowing the whole story. Were any of the company's assests left the the Thai owners? Did she will everything to the maid? It would seem if so the other owner(s) of the company would have claims to its assests too.
  4. I thought they had legalised Kratom. Or did they repeal that too?
  5. The last 3 years the hot season was cooler than normal where I live. Never hit 40. This year 90% of the days are around 40.
  6. I call Thai massage assisted yoga. It's good stretching for the muscles. Just imagine how many times they get farted on when doing it.
  7. The noodle restaurants usually don't have music.
  8. Anyway it is to control the size of the tree to keep them from becoming too big.
  9. Fig and Mullberry trees fruit better when you do this. They grow back very quickly and start flowering. I've done it 3 times to this mango tree. Last time was about 2 years ago.
  10. He probably did not put in his passport on purpose. More likely he put his passport back where the sachet was in his bag and it slipped between the pages without him knowing it.
  11. When we lived in the US we hired a handyman to do some work on our house. The next week he was shot dead by his son. His son had asked him for some money and he didn't give it to him.
  12. possible yes. legal no. Keep the order under 1,500 baht and it should go through but no guarantee. I don't know how the new law about charging VAT on all items mailed into Thailand will affect them checking even the small packages.
  13. In windows edge up by the right hand corner there are 3 ... Click on them and look for zoom. On your phone you can change font size in settings.
  14. Funny how all their numbers are nice even numbers. I doubt they are accurate at all. Even in the small rural town I live in there are a couple of 'bars' for the local men.
  15. I have mango trees that are flowering right now. One for the second time. Growing fruit from seed you are not likely to get the same exact fruit as the parent. There are a few mango varieties that grow true from seed from what I have read. They are called polyembryonic varieties. It is also possible that a mango grown from seed will be sterile and never fruit.
  16. I would never want to be famous. Rich is ok as long as you keep it on the low.
  17. I have had it in a few places. But none close to authentic.
  18. it would cost millions (in Kip)
  19. or possibly a dragonfly nymph... except they don't have the hairy antennae
  20. Thailand. Land of the free! Unless it is about telling the truth.
