  1. Towards the top of the page there should be a little flag icon (just above the cart symbol). Click it.  It will have three sections, first specifying what country you want to ship to.  Second specifying what language you want to use.  Third specifies what currency you want to pay in.

     

    You can change any of these with a click or two

     

    Hope this helps

     

  2. It's a bit of a process but it has a proven track record..

     

    1     Sit down and have two Guinness's while you ponder the path forward.

    2     Put on your bright emerald green jacket.  (That Augusta National Winners jacket in your closet is quite suitable)

    3     Practise waving your Shillelagh about quite actively.

           Have one more Guinness Have another Guinness if you actually had a Shillelagh about

    4     Walk around the garden intoning an ancient Celtic curse of Banishment while continuing to wield the Shillelagh in an            aggressive manner.

            Have two more Guinness. ... it's thirsty work

    5     Now, a big finish with a Christian prayer of exorcism as you force the reptiles to abandon the garden under threat

            from the Shillelagh

           Definitely one more Guinness to ease the pain of a parched throat..

     

    This might seem a bit of a bother and far fetched, but it worked a marvel for the Irish.  There hasn't been a serpent there for twelve hundred years.

     

    You know I do believe that there's just a tech of Guinness about and it would be a shameful thing not to use all the ingredients of such a marvelous curse.

     

    In the name of the Lord me son -------------- Finish the Guinness!

  3. All these preparations are based on the assumption of many tourists wanting to come to and quarantine at a "sandbox paradise"  albeit a paradise that pretty well has closed down.  A fourteen day  quarantine  in a country that does not have the desire/capability to  address and blunt a fourth wave of the Delta and Delta plus variant  may not be to everyone's taste.  

     

    I have watched with sorrow as the infection rate has gone from a few hundred per day to over five thousand per day.  I felt trapped when I had to return to Canada when it had thousands of cases per day.  In a race with the delta variant fourth wave Canada has gone from thousands of cases per day to several hundred per day.  I no longer feel trapped here but I still wish to return to Thailand.  Something about Thailand has grasped my heart and I now feel like the Farang in my own country.

     

    Foreign governments don't say Phukets fine but Bangkok is in a covid red zone and Hua Hin is ....  They normally just say "don't go to Thailand" .  I do hope the government in Bangkok can perform an abrupt change of course  and effect a competent and inclusive Vaccine roll out.  

     

    I want to come back (home)

  4. There might be a silver lining in this huge pile of coprolite.

     

    Since these hundreds of thousands of people will be getting their slave bracelets on arrival why not put them to work doing slave labour.  Cleaning the beaches of oil balls and plastics.  Eight hours of cleaning gets you an extra day off of quarantine.

     

    Take 500 of them and set them up as oarsmen on the submarine.  Worked for the Romans.  All's good till the captain wants to water ski.

     

    Ahh, the sun is over the yardarm.  TTFN

  5. Bleach, warm water and a stiff brush will work well.  Paint afterward if you so desire (anti fungal paint suggested)  I find that wetting rags with the bleach mixture and laying them on the area of concern for 15 minutes helps.  It seems to kill the fungus and everything brushes off easily.

     

    Pressure washers work well but be careful.  Many of the current ones are powerful enough to strip the seal and the top layer off of the concrete.  You can easily do quite a bit of damage and concrete work is expensive to refinish.

    What will happen when the gamma variant is discovered? This could go on forever!

    Actually the gamma variant has been around for a while.  It's the one first identified in Brazil.

    Nothing goes on forever ..... maybe my ex.  

     

    I'm hoping that it does an "Andromeda Strain" and continues to mutate until it finally leaves the host alive.

     

    Meantime, you should have a beer.

  7. I have Epsons and use the Blue windex glass cleaner and Q-tips.  While the process is a bit different than grins' we end up in the same place.  I think just follow his procedure and you should be be able to confirm that you got a bargain.

     

    I have spent over a year away at a time and found that soaking it overnight was necessary to reliquify the ink.  Just saying
     

    Good luck

    Publicity stunt

    Yes, but a very effective one.  For 6,000 baht he has shown everyone (from the lowest peasant to the Prime Minister) in the country that they must obey this law.  That is an amazing level of effectiveness for a government department.  Kudos

      For those lower than the lowest peasants (expats) take heed, for the full weight of the 20,000 baht fine may come your way.

     

    Just saying
