Wasted part of my life. What sort would post this? It's a valid question. First off do the rules really require a pu yai to be there? Or is this just another Thailand scam?

I'ma not sure this OCD anal retentive guy could survive a house build in Thailand. So much progress since I last piped in. Sorry to hear about those plumbing issues. I never understood this wet tile method. I've tiled a fair amount. Have all the equipment including 2 saws and hand grinder with diamond blades. I've done mud beds using a mix similar to what I see as a base of your floor. But I do the entire area and let if cure overnight. I use a very measured ratio of cement and sand. I have used several versions of these leveling clips. I don't see how your guy can lay portions of the mudbed and then stop and not get cold joints. I'm tile school and all my reading the mantra is straight trowel lines. It's good your guy back butters the tile but curved mud lines create air pockets so the tile can't be pressed down and leaves hollow spots. I saw were tiling done in Vietnam. They had a big pile of sand in the middle of the main rooms and put a few bags of what looked like cement and then 3-5 men and mostly women hand mixed it. It looked poorly mixed to me. Then they tossed it around the room. They did have laser grade lines on the walls. Oh I should add before tossing it next to the outside walls they put down some white termite killing powder. The boss man screed it level. It seemed like he did a pretty good job. Surprisingly within hours they were pouring a runny cement slurry on and laying large format tiles. The slurry was thinner than maple syrup. It seemed like 1-2 mm thick. No back buttering at all. He used a rubber mallet. Within hours of that the crew were putting grout powder in the floor near the joints and pouring some water nearby and sorta pushing dry powder into the joints and some water and some a slurry mix. They kinda heaped up the grout joint. After it set they came back and polished it off or something. I didn't see that part. But in the bathroom that was tiled for days they hadn't completed that step. The lip page and spacing actually was quite good. But I can't imagine tiles not popping off with a heavy fridge rolling by or something dropping on it.

I would wager that 99% of all taxis, and mini bus drivers have a weapon like this or more

This squarely outs the Thai dive industry 50-60 years behind the rest of the World including Mexico.

Lucky kid to be alive. I guess a windshield is next best to an cloth awning. Much much lower g shock when a surface gives some. Hurts my brain to read stuff written like what was on the plate. Or in the same room as a plate. Guy was so drunk he...

Looks like an old thread. In 2016 I popped over to Thailand for my first trip and planned to dive and Pattaya. I took a boat trip out. Vis was poor, no fish life or colorful coral. But I returned for the women. In later trips I dove koh phi phi, and on a boat trip from Phuket. Vis was poor, fish life low, ugly reefs. I saw parts of the coral broken off by nets dragged a dozen meters out into the sand. In fact I could see many net drags as if each night fishermen drop as close to the reefs as possible and drag out into the sand. As a person who has dove most everything at Cozumel in the 80's and lots of Caribbean dive trips I think only the Similan mounts would interest me.

Should be the condo association which means you! But getting all to agree to fix un needed railing? From what I've seen in Thailand the metal installed onsite may look ok but no thought on cleaning, prep, primer and proper paint is included.

The word is out. Plus they must know most thais don't like Chinese. Less Indians.

When the rice fields are flooded are the rat invasions related? Seems like it's a landlord issue to seal up all the holes. Maybe a little teamwork on the rat trapping issue. Maybe landlord has a bunch of traps. Of course most anima6know there way around their part of the World so you would need to relocate them far but that's just giving others the problem. Rats are a prized food up north. I tried a rat stew dish. It was ok until I got a section of rat tail. I'm sure Thais just chomp for collagen.

Who wants a workaholic and it sounds like a workaholic is looking for a woman who would be a workaholic. I think he should take cooking lessons. Outsourcing his dating? Sounds like a real loser. In Thailand your ability to support them is part of love to them.

Amen. Holiday sales and 2-5 really can piss of a non Buddhist or any non cult member right t foff

How much do washing machines weigh? <48kg?

On and on and on

The ones who let that constitution pass? Ignorance is bliss.

Not sure a good IPA can be made a competitive prices to the USA. Labor should be lower but water quality sucks, where to import good hops from. A good IPA needs close to a kg per barrel. And where to get food barley? And malted. Undrinkable beer in Thailand is a big problem with me. Yes I found a place in Bangkok that sold some decent imports. 800 bath per bomber. 22 oz.

What slope does your cement gutter have? You always mention "sealed with silicone". As if it's easy to apply correctly and seals. It may be installed half way to your design ideas and seal initially but time, temps, uv, material expansion, and surface cleanliness are all fighting to cause failure. Sealant may seal until it fails. It will fail!. So you have a river on your roof. If an object or high rainfall backs up the river so it gets above the roof level. Where would the water leak into? Because it will. On normal gutters an overflow can go over the outside edge or go up under the metal drip edge and then down the metal facia assuming the facia is higher than the gutter. Sorry to be negative but it was my job to think of all the failure modes, and I also have had 20 years fighting water since my house is on a bluff. Wind and rain can do seemingly do un natural things.

With that sandwiched roofing having so thin top metal and a soft core it seems like it would not result in a very high compression force of the screw gasket that would ensure a seal? And I know from my use of self drilling metal fasteners they seem to drill better at a faster speed and then it would be hard to control and to stop before creating a simple which like you said would cause a leak. When faced with 1000 screws a man will find the fastest way. Also if a screw does do a simple what is the solution? Even with no soft core I have always doubted the sealing feature of those screws.

I didn't know this! Kind of stupid. These words would be the last a real terrorist would say.

I can't drink scotch and I've tried some of the 200$) bottle crap. Just don't like the moss smoke taste. But put the heavy mesquite smoke in my pork or beef all day. Just opened some gentleman jack last night and yum like I recall. I have lots of gear in crown bags it's yum too. I also enjoy Pendleton and many other nice Canadian or Kentucky whiskeys here in USA. Lots of micro distilleries opening in USA a local one is High West in park city. .

I slept on this overnight and my thoughts are Thailand will just never solve any problem. While I love cute girls and these gals qualify, they do look like some surgeon was involved on their faces. Why not just start enforcing the laws and stop drivers who break the laws. In BKK in sukumvit you can watch any intersection and see numerous violations each light cycle. Like others said a cop could be right there and drivers still sneak or run red lights. The idea of using models to encourage safe and legal driving exhibits Thai thinking. And these models are using helmets different than they are trying to promote. Utterly stupid.

But were they real?

I always wondered how US weed was imported? I know at first the demand was higher than local production. How did that USA high quality weed get into the country? And why is it currently needed? I don't think the majority of Thais support the current status of pot stores everywhere and it's users smells. If it does remain legal it will have rules attached that only favor the big players for sure. I was in Denver in January and the dispensary needed to create a profile record off my driver's license before I could buy a few edibles. Glad I was in Thailand over xmas during this crazy wild west period despite the high prices. I predict there will be big restrictions in Thailand soon.

I think all of us should read the report before making assumptions. It's never easy to retreat from a lost war. Many people can be blamed including the people who began this war without a plan B for retreat. It didn't take a person with secret clearance to see how much damage trump did to many government organizations. I did hear that it was suggested to Biden to leave 2500 troups behind. But then the death toll could have been much higher. Tough position but most Americans didn't support these wars.

Another case using Chinese facial recognition software me thinks.
