  1. Looking for one for testing something.... around bangkok, preferably Bangna area. Thanks
  2. Or another tried and tested approach if they speak English - get them to repeat every thing they say 3 times huh? Huh? usually throw me out the door in frustration
  3. 1. He really looks like a studious person 2. You would think a modern It system should be able to cross check against in Interpol database - oh, I forgot, its makes immigration officials taking payments ie like Chuwit said more easy.
  4. didn't they recently pick up the 67 year old man who stayed in his house for 2 years ? feel safer already I guess the Russian Maffia characters pay for a hassle free stay
  5. Wow... a lot of local wisdom ???? thanks
  6. Looking for some kind of fire starter of wood which does not blow out easy, and can start a wood fire. Used the 7-11 cleaning alcohol, not a good idea ???? - woof..... but still have my fringe an eye brows ???? Maybe Kerosine, or something ?
  7. In reality - there is so much which can be done. I have worked on process simplification ie too change a massively used application process from 18 mins down to 1.5 mins... had a huge impact on queues and customer satisfaction. Should get the guys who designed the thai passport application process to help them revisit the process, for anyone who has applied for a new thai passport in bangkok, the process is amazing and world class. An ooh, there are world class Work Force Management systems which can give you queue prediction and resources required - accuracy is about 97% for 15 mins intervals ie predict arrivals on a Saturday in 2 months from now at 9:15pm.
  8. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and dump a better statement.
  9. yes. normally about 104, but I was really loading up on sweets the week prior. but now 77 - also prior to eating. But I fast 16 hours now
  10. BMI 30+ and eating way too much sugary stuff, my last blood sugar measurement was 117 on the 120 = Diabetes scale. A worry for many reasons... Started immediately on Intermittent Fasting (IF) - 8 hours eat what I want, but a lot less sweet stuff, 16 hours only water or black coffee. Weight dropped quick, but strangely Blood Sugar measurements taken over the last week using the same machine / method has been 88, 90 and today 77 which is staggering. Is this the real situation now, or is it just low cause I take the reading before breakfast and I am still pre-diabetic ? p.s. - I find IF quite easy, can still eat relatively normally, just have to wait a bit longer in the morning.
  11. As you know, Thai's needs to apply for a lot of visas. The Mrs travels for work a lot, and we are planning a holiday to Europe in December, but passport will be with the embassy for ie 2 or more weeks, which is tough for her as she is almost every week on a plane. Some countries, for business people, they allow 2 passports at the same time for these reasons - one passport with Embassy waiting for visa stamp, whilst traveling on the other. Does anyone know if this is possible for Thai's ? Thanks
  12. Looking for a long bolt or just a thread of M12 x 1.25. need 2 pieces, each about 80mm long. Any idea where can get ( length can be more or less, but the longer the better )
  13. Your referring to the the year when Banharn decided to keep more water in the dams cause he was smarter
  14. I really hope their smart enough to bundle it in ie the air ticket price or other ways. If not, the extra processing time will clog up immigration.... ..what do I care ???? - I go through the local channel
  15. Doing a silly project which may be something one day... looking for an old Turbo from a truck or large car which still works. Any idea where to get a 2nd hand one in BKK? Thanks
  16. thinking about trying my hand at wood work. Any good place in Bangkok to buy decent wood ?
  17. Thanks... any particular names ? can message me if dont want to post Thanks
  18. Planning a Europe holiday end of year, and going in a group with friends. Main concern, if we get covid or anything happens prior to departure, all our bookings lost ( hotels, flights, car rental etc ). Does anyone know where can get insurance which will cover the whole trip incase something like the above happens ? Thanks
