Health officials address beetle infestation in Khon Kaen
AgMech Cowboy replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
I thought they were edible. Call in the WHO and get them harvested. 🤣🙃 -
There is no beach around the Gulf of Thailand that I'd go to if I wanted to get in the water. There are just too many rivers, canals and sewage pipes that discharge into it. The Andaman Sea is the place to go. I've read that Krabi and Railay beaches are very good and lower priced than Phuket

@roger101 Roger, I suggest that you open an online account, order the small chicken and select to pick up your order at your local Pattaya or Little Walk Pattaya Villa Market store. That should get them on the 'right' track to finding what you desire. They may have the Betagro products in a different section than the "meat market".

US Passport Embassy Thailand
AgMech Cowboy replied to HerewardtheWake's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Hi, I tried the same thing 2 days ago and could get on, but today, Thursday 30 May, I had no problem. Good Luck. I have no suggest except from the wise words (not) of microsoft, restart your computer and try it first without engaging your VPN. (but this is just a punt. I don't know if it'll help). -
I'm very late to this party, so you are probably already sorted. I renewed my passport by mail in November 2021. I just followed the directions on the Embassy website. The only thing I messed up on was including something to do with sending me the new passport in Thailand (was an envelop or money? I don't remember), but they sent me an email (or they called) and I took care of it straight away. I thought it was quite easy. I've never found photo shops to know the correct size. I've used 2 different shops in the last 15 yrs. I check the size needed for the forms (US passport, visa application, extensions, etc.) and tell them what I want. As someone else stated, you can trim the size that you currently have rather than going to another shop. (I remember many years ago one of our passports (my son or I) had a rectangular photo and they accepted it because the face size was correct).

It's sad. You can think you're a man all you want, but the body, organs, hormones, etc. are all female. The dysphoria that these people experience is not being treated correctly, IMHO. They should be affirming their biology, treating their minds and not trying to replumb the system. That's my 2 cents.

Drunk British Motorbike Rider Arrested with Methamphetamine in Patong
AgMech Cowboy replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
No one cares about his birth country. -
I think you misunderstood my statement. I don't want to do drugs, and I'd love to be able to get my son to quit smoking ganja. But, when I tried to dissuade him he flew off in angry rage. I don't like, but his Mother's Father smoked back in the 80's before it was criminalized and she's okay with it. It does me no good to rail against his usage. He's 21. I just want to understand things about the weed and hopefully can maintain some influence in his life.

Ha Ha 5555, and Richard Smith always thinks it's Brits and I always think it's USAmericans. -
Lease Takeover A Good Idea?
AgMech Cowboy replied to JimTripper's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
It's a common practice in the US, but I'd be wary about it in Thailand, unless the lessor is fully aware and agreeable. (The way I've seen some apts and houses left in Thailand, I'd be cautious about how the current leaser has left the property (breakage, etc.) -
Ok, granted that you have a car, then Cambodia is your best bet for the bounce, especially from Pattaya. (Ban Laem border checkpoint was very easy and organized for me). However, if you're in Bangkok, the easiest border bounce and most cost effective was hopping an Air Asia flight to Malaysia. The Thai roads are just so dangerous especially driving from & to Bangkok. I saw so many reckless drivers on my trip last June.

Thai Man Shoots Best Friend Over Alleged Affair
AgMech Cowboy replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
There's a lot of truth in that. My son's 21, but he still acts like a kid in many situations. It sounds like these friends had not matured in a good environment. (I saw drugs mentioned. If it was Yaba then sex may very well have been involved). -
How much do you fear "THE" Big C?
AgMech Cowboy replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
And, I thought you were talking about a fear of the big c... century (aka making it until you're a hundred) -

I regularly purchase "Circadin" at my pharmacy in Lat Sawai, Pathum Thani. I thought I'd try it since I sometimes have trouble going to sleep. I just asked for "Melatonin" and they put a box on the counter, which I purchased. (I think I've been using them periodically now for 7-8 months). I can only remember one time that they told me out of stock.

Worlds most inefficient a/c system in my condo
AgMech Cowboy replied to DonniePeverley's topic in General Topics
I (well, my wife) owns a house. We have an A/C in all of our rooms (except the toilets/aka bathrooms). That's 11 A/Cs. We've replace 4 and there are 3 news ones which were installed when my wife added a very large room to the side of the house and a small building in the back (one of the replacements is for one of the newer ones, funny how it quit just asthe warranty finished.) Anyway, my point is... In Thailand, if you turn on the A/C the fan in the house never turns off when the temperature is reached like they do with a central air system in the US (or even a window unit). Only the compressor and the compressor fan in the outside unit turns off. We have mostly Carriers (installed in 2005) when we built the house. The others are LG, Sharp and Samsung. To save electricity, I set my temperature at 26C for night time sleeping with a fan blowing on me directly to move my body heat away. During the day I set the temperature at 27-29, again with a low fan blowing on me. If no one is in a room, the air is turned off.
