  1. I would think you need to prevent contaminants from entering the well, a vermin-proof cap or cover must be on the well. If the well has a pump mounted on the cover, it usually has a pipe extending into the well. The annulus (ring-shaped piece) around the pipe should be sealed and covered with a protective flashing. The cover should be watertight and sealed to the casing to prevent rodents and other animals from entering the well casing. On large-diameter wells, the cover should have a sealed and locked access hole. Just saying my two cents.
  2. When staying in BKK and going to exchange a large amount of US $$$$ to Baht, I stay at a Fully Luxury (Named Brand) Hotel where their is a safe deposit box safe with two keys, one that is giving to me and the other key to open in a secure area that I have checked out. That to me is safer than the room safe and I have never encountered a problem. Just saying.
  3. Depends on Location-Location-Location, My house (8 Rai) with property is in Ubon. Good Luck.
  4. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Thailand has one of the highest rates of road traffic deaths in the world, with the majority of fatalities involving motorbikes. The Thai Health Promotion Foundation reports that, on average, about 70 people die each day as a result of road accidents in Thailand. Of these fatalities, 74% are motorbike riders and passengers. According to the Department of Land Transport, there were 22,134 motorbike accidents in Thailand in 2020, resulting in 19,226 injuries and 6,142 deaths.
  5. Common Sense: The Brit should have sized up the first slap by thinking what am I going to do when the others fight back. He got the outcome what he deserved-Luckily they did not kill him. Just Saying.
  6. 1. Have you loved fully? 2. Have you lived fully? 3. Have you made a difference?
  7. We have a house 10 k's north of Ubon where we grow 3 types of rice, have Thai fruit/Nut trees, have 8 hens laying eggs, 15 shophouses that we rent off of highway 2050 towards Trakarn. Spent 6 months there enjoying the family and 6 months in Orlando traveling from there throughout the US in our RV. We love Isaan, very easy to travel throughout Thailand, S.E. Asia and Europe for us. “Suum cuique.”
  8. This has been brought up many times and it all depends on "YOUR LIFESTYLE!!"
  9. Hope they keep flying from BKK-UBP-BKK, and keep the prices down.
  10. It's a Dell XPS 9570 laptop-Thank You.
  11. Looking for the subject repair shop in BKK where I may have my laptop repaired. Thank you for sharing any recommendations.
  12. "America First with TRUMP!!"
  13. Years ago, while I was working/traveling in Aviation away from my Spouse here in Thailand, I would occasionally send her a letter from another country to keep in touch. To my surprise, I found only about half of the letters I wrote would be received in Ubon Ratchathani at our house. Just last month, as I returned to the USA do complete our tax returns and left my wife in Thailand do to some business transactions she had to complete. I decided to send 10 letters via the Global Forever stamp for $1.20 (USA) to see if service to Thailand was the same as it was 10+ years ago. To my surprise, not one of the letters arrived at our house in Ubon. Lessons learned: If sending any letter to Thailand make sure your using a must higher priority or to be very safe send it via FedEx or UPS. Has anyone else here had the same problem with mail to Thailand?
  14. Don't forget, the ACM of the RTAF wanting just two F-35's from the USA-LOL.
  15. All the polls while I am back in Orlando show Trump will be the Rupubilcian nominee. Most Americans see the indictments as a political move to "Get Trump." Trump is really much stronger and will never give up and his agenda of "AMERICA FIRST" will get him back in the White House in 2024.
  16. It depends on your mindset, my brain still works at 18 years old, but my age of my 75 year ole body at times does not agree. I spent 6 months in the USA Hubing out of Orlando driving an RV throughout North America and the other in Thailand Hubing out of our house in Ubon where we also travel. Family's genes are pretty good and 83 is out of the question. I'll be pushing my life into the 90's looking at 100. I am "LUCKY and BLESSED!" Happy Travels and GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! PS: georgegeorgia you need an "Attitude Check and should be a little more Positive!"
  17. This is a "BULL <deleted> POLL:" Donald Trump's odds of winning the 2024 presidential election have not been hurt by his indictment, but rather the chances of him making it back into the White House have improved, bookmakers have said.
  18. While back in the USA for over one month, I noticed a charge on my Visa card for a Hotel in Thailand through the subject when I am not in Thailand and have absolutely have no knowledge of and at home and never accessed Agoda. Now I am trying to dispute and Agoda says the Hotel will not cancel the reservation saying it's my fault for booking when I did not. Contacted the Bank the hotel debit is still pending so I have to wait to dispute after it is posted. Agoda somehow posted this room for me from a saved Visa card I had on file through their website-Lessons learned. Looks like I am going to eat this charge since I will not be able to prove I did not make this charge via their website. Anyone else had this problem??
  19. All of us were downgraded to a "Rookie Member" a few months back. You should not be since you have a lot more posts than me-"Who Cares!!"
  20. Prices to the USA are high also, just got through paying $851 from BKK to Narita (JAL-NRT) and $1250 on Singapore Airlines from NRT to Los Angeles-One way, where I used to pay $1300 round trip from Orlando to BKK. I do not see the prices going down!! Good Luck to all and "Happy Travels."
