  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I would never want to be famous. Rich is ok as long as you keep it on the low.
  7. I have had it in a few places. But none close to authentic.
  8. it would cost millions (in Kip)
  9. or possibly a dragonfly nymph... except they don't have the hairy antennae
  10. Thailand. Land of the free! Unless it is about telling the truth.
  11. OK, the next to last sentence. Or last paragraph.
  12. Very nice gesture. The man has a good heart. It pains me when I see a motorbike with an adult and 1-4 kids on it and only the adult is wearing a helmet. But mostly none of them are wearing helmets. I guess the police don't fine you if the driver is wearing a helmet even if the others are not. I think the main reason you see people wearing helmets is just to avoid a fine, not for safety.
  13. Are you going to return before you current 90 day permission expires?
  14. I know SCB calls to ask what the money is for if it is over $20,000 US. All they really want to know is if it is for personal use or for purchasing property. Also as TOPT mentioned when they called me they would tell me the rate but then tell me they were going to give me a better rate. I guess because of the size of the transfer.
  15. Did you read the last sentence? This is not the first time he has done it according to his father.
  16. So I guess we don't get links to the original articles anymore so we can read the whole story.
  17. Of course don't go after the people who sell them.
  18. have a pizza sent to them
  19. My brother had a pickup that had a dual system. You could switch between benzene and LPG. It ran like doo doo and had a hard time going up hills. Judging by the local LPG station hardly anyone is using it anymore. About 10 years ago it was fairly busy. It's rare to see a car there now.
  20. Where we bought property in rural Ratchaburi it costs 1,000/month for the red box. In our case it is divided among the 10 people that own property on the soi. So 100/month. The police drive out only 2-3 times per week. But otherwise they would never be there.
