It has fasinated me for years that people can believe in god and that Jesus was born to his virgin mother .

When you realize that there are so many billions of planets across hundreds of billions of light years.

It must be great to believe in a God and that one day you will be reunited with your loved ones a lady once said to me that she knows she will meet Jesus when she dies,i thought gosh he must be busy sitting down with the billions of people who die.

Do you really believe in him or any of the other Gods ?

Why can't they go to the bars, get drunk and play with the girls (or boys) like all the other tourists? 

I thought that is why people from all over the world come to Pattaya.

They like to play with each other ?

“Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are."

Other than China, no other country in world wants anything to do with Russia, dose Thailand has an ulterior motive to red carpet a representative of a country who bombs and kills dozen of people on a daily bases and actually want to take their country from them?

 

Myanmar's Tamadaw are one I can think off the top of my head.

????He'll have no shortage of volunteers for a lap dance in Bangkok Hilton Hotel 

Just another example of  thousands of corrupt practices going on every day in LOS. TIT ????The govt official obviously didn't pass on a big enough brown envelope to the BIB or maybe not at all ????

It is a very long border.

 

International sanctions are being applied to the Myanmar regime, sanctions which are designed to prevent them from raising cash from the spoils looted from their country. Sanctions which are likely to become more stringent, and likely to be supported by a democratic Western looking government in Bangkok. Yes, they can continue to trade with China, but, for the people running Myanmar, hard cash is what they want - that means US dollars.

 

Let's consider three things: who patrols and effectively controls that very long border (it is not an elected government in Bangkok), what are the easily portable products which can produce cash, and how much money is to be made.

 

There is a precedent, the illicit border trade in weapons, gems and high value timbers with the Khmer Rouge controlled areas of Cambodia. A number of quite significant "players" made a lot of money out of that; money which was useful to further their subsequent careers. They are still in positions of "influence".

Unfortunately those sanctions are hurting the general population more than the generals. Almost everything has doubled or tripled in price in the last 2 years due to the currency going down the toilet and we are hearing it is going to get worse not better any time soon.

Statistics don't lie, these things should be eradicated full stop !

How do you become a General when you've never been in a war except maybe a war against your own people as in Myanmar.

Just what Thailand needs, a drug to make them even more lazy????

I have no time for religion in any way,shape or form ????

Yes, Belgium for example, but reporting must be made to the local municipal office

Myanmar, every day, what a waste of paper. No computers in most immigration offices

Myanmar

Going guarantors for a Thai is just stupid regardless of relationship.

This is one eg of a sheet membrane system:

https://ardexaustralia.com/product/ardex-wpm-1000/

 

This is an eg of a liquid applied membrane system:

https://ardexaustralia.com/product/ardex-wpm-908/

 

The entire Ardex roof and deck waterproofing range can be found here:

https://ardexaustralia.com/products_category/waterproofing-roofing-membranes/

 

Ardex are a premium company, good products but they make you pay !

 

I've used the liquid applied membrane once, about 20 years ago but I've never used the sheet style membranes. I found the liquid applied product was difficult to apply neatly in the heat in Darwin Australia.

The sheet style membranes seem to have become the "go to" product for commercial projects from what I can gather.

The skillset and experience of the applicators should be your guide  in my opinion...

 

PS I'm surprised that you're only getting 50mm outlets to drain the roofs, I can see theres multiple of them but personally I'd be looking at more like 100mm, will take more volume and be more resistant to blocking with leaves etc.

100 mm pipes for sure. TIT

Not sure if this has already been stated.  I can't bear to read through all 5 pages of this thread.

 

The woman needs to provide documentation to increase her credibility if she's asking for money on GoFundMe.  Too many scams there.

 

I would expect to see:

Itemized hospital bill

Police report

Copy of her insurance ID card to prove she has insurance and was covered for motorcycling

International Driver's License

Copy of emails with insurance company showing they either will not pay or are "dragging their feet".  She has to explain why the insurance company hasn't paid.  Is it her fault?

 

No money or sympathy from me until I know her sad case is legitimate.

Her father has already said she wasn't lisecend and she wasn't covered to ride a motorcycle

There most certainly was corruption. The man 'SKY' had no passport but 3 E Cigarettes bought in Thailand, which are illegal. He and the young lady, who had one E cigarette,  were threatened with jail unless they pay up? That's extortion?

There is an article in the BP which I cannot link to!

Who in their right mind carries their passport around with them in Asia, you carry a copy. I find it baffling also that vaping is illegal but marijuana isnae ????

Just wondering whether those who investigate to corrupt officers are not corrupt themselves to some degree and so on and so on...

Of course they are,that's why nothing ever gets done about it. This time they will probably have to sacrifice a few to inactive posts then it will be business as usual ????
