Noisy Neighbors?
The problem is you never know who is going to move in close to you. It can be great for years and then change all of the sudden. We were looking at property to buy in one area but decided not to buy there. About a year later someone opened a Karaoke bar in one of the lots. So glad we didn't buy there. Where we ending up buying is about 3-4 kilometers from there and I can hear the music at our property. And forget buying close to a Wat. Even if you aren't that close they like to set up speakers a few kilometers away to make sure everyone can hear them.

I have always wondered how all these trucks blowing clouds of black smoke when they accelerate can pass the smog/safety checks.

Why is the Thai Countryside full of discarded rubbish?
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.

Bangkok electric bill seems really high - is someone tapping into our line?
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.

Prosecution Looms Over Deceased French Woman's Fortune
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.

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.

Extreme pruning
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.

British tourist arrested with cocaine hidden in passport
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.

Urban myth or unfortunate fact ?
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.

Buy medicines from IndiaMart? Possible? Legal?
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.

Thailand listed among top 10 countries with highest number of sex workers worldwide
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.
