  1. Story is a bit confusing for me. Daily there are movie storylines in Thailand. How is the kidnapping related to the surrogacy? Prominent Dr supervised or did these implants or something? Most Thai people seem to respect these Chinese families who somehow got into this country in the last 50-75 years. How far will this cleansing of china's influence in Thailand go?
  2. Can't wait to see britmans bot posts.
  3. I'm uninformed for sure. I really don't want to know what incel means. Just enjoy life, it is what you make of it. Plenty of partners for Everyone if you halfway fit and not psychotic.
  4. Interesting and possibly more effective means of enforcement. But it would seem like a good case for defamation if they are not found guilty. It would seem likely they have cc'd and facial recognition as I think china's influence there is 110%>. But behind closed doors, possible fake IDs, it would have to only be the girls testimony. I'm not defending or cordoning anything. But these accusations could really mess up a guys life. In udon thanni nears boys town or whatever that place is called I saw an underage looking gal being escorted out of a bar by a falang. A cop was sitting in his big bike outside. Against my dates advice I told the cop of my concern shrugged it off saying she was legal age, which maybe was the case. Or was he on the take?
  5. Keep it up Rooster. It is easier to watch you than read your weekly style. Goes well with my morning coffee.
  6. Can't edit. I meant many beggars everywhere! Even here in USA. Denver and salt lake, LA, Portland I've seen first hand.
  7. Ah the view of humanity. Try upcountry. Beggars with cardboard signs in lots of upscale neighborhood intersections in these times. I rarely see someone donate but I cringe when they provide future incentive.
  8. I was born July 60' I remember sitting on the floor by the coffee table and the sadness in the room watching JFK's funeral procession.
  9. Well in the bright side they didn't need to jump off the balcony. They will get some free food and lodging. Maybe they didn't expect the co-owner to be there and thought it would be easy free weed and they were surprised and all hell broke loose and then they beit figured 5k wasn't enough? They should sure may have been high and desperate for more. Don't forget they do a facial recognition picture when you arrive and use china's ID software.
  10. Top complaint was about the lottery? I don't understand it. But it seems like winners don't get paid in full. Sis in law won a small one and it sounded like the seller got the money then paid her a portion. But perhaps they were talking about the other lotto? Also it was accepted in BKK that the price was higher than the govt price. I never understood that. 100 rather than 80 is 25% profit plus the sellers normal amount. I was thinking all those poor sellers but they are just the first face of corruption that Thai people learn to accept.
  11. Ah! The softer side of you gents. Goid Bread is something I crave when in Thailand. This thread makes me hungry. We have a sour dough starter. My favorite recipe is a honey beer miche you can find at https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/honey-beer-miche-recipe But it does take lots of work. Fun thing is it calls for 299g beer so a 12oz let's you have a sip in the morning. A coffee stout or a chocolate porter are winners. But a Guinness will do in a pinch.
  12. Show us pictures? Maybe a flood car? Maybe it's normal looking underside.
  13. So those who have umpteen tickets from 5 years ago no penalty? And if you don't pay just lose 1 point and 2000 baht? But you gets your registration? Seems like it should be 2000 and 1 point every day late. I bet who ever controls the points is making bank. But if you have a govt ID you don't need to worry about getting a ticket in the first place is what one gal told me as we sped up to CM
  14. Coming to a town near you. We get some bad days in Utah when those big California fires blow this way or we have a local forest fire. We get some inversions too. Is that 5x the Thai level or 8x the WHO level for on 2.5?
  15. So many people don't read before posting. It's 6 month old building it was his first day and he cranked it to 20c. I assume he was unpacking and needed it cool. Maybe the nearby units, sides, below, above are empty? A big factor. Is it a Corner unit with more outside walls? South exposure? I'm guessing room was hot? Remember heat transfer is proportional to the delta T to the 4th power.
  16. If they keep finding corruption in police there will be lots of defaults on car loans and home loans coming unless they raise the salary of all. Seems all you need to do is examine the finances of 100 each of random police and immigration officers to find what % are in the take. I bet a high % are relying on extra income for house and car payments. And this means the bank loan officers are ok with this. My wife has basically said it's everywhere so people just accept it as normal. But it seems like she is seeing the light.
  17. Talk about pedantic! That's a better title for this thread. I am bilingual in units of temperature, distance, mass, force,beauty, and sexiness. May I suggest some of you memorize 25.4, 1.7, 2.2. or type in Google. "1/16" and select "1/16 to mm". Pick a calculator description to read. You don't usually even have to click a website to read. 1/16"= 1.5875mm!! Join us in 2023 and enjoy!! I used 1/16" because that is what Bosch states on the laser measurement tools sold here in USA and it's 1/16" for the under 200$ model that I own. There are Bosch models under 100usd that have an accuracy of +/-3mm. But heaven forbid the packaging says +/-1/8". Many finish carpenters on YouTube are not using tapes anymore as these modern tools are so handy, precise and accurate. They cut baseboards and crown moulding without a tape. Realtors have had similar, less accurate, devices for 20 years. It seems the OP wishes to have a CADD floor plan file of some extension he can load into a furniture arrangement program. Perhaps if you ask the builder to ask the architect to provide a simple vector drawing of the wall plans. He maybe less worried about you stealing the design work. Go find out which fike ext types your furniture layout program uses and ask for those fille types https://fileinfo.com/filetypes/cadoor measure and Make paper cutout of furniture.
  18. Simple Bosch handheld Lazer measuring devices start at under 100usd. They are amazing accurate if you spend 200$ like 1/16". They have an area feature. About the size of a small backpacking gps unit. Take maybe 2 hours to make an accurate drawing
  19. What do they put in a ping pong ball to create these? Wonder how they ignite? Fuse or on contact?
  20. I sizes and installed my dual Aircon heaters in an accessory apartment. Aircon requirements were almost null because walk out basement with cooled room above. I used LG red. I looked into the cassette for main area but couldn't fit it in the ceiling. I don't understand the Feng shui issue? I know stairs not supposed to head out the door or that's what will happen to your money. Can't a cassette be placed off center and perhaps 1 vent closed? Heat flow is proportional to the Temp delta to the 4th power. So if course your comfort setting matters in sizing. But fan speed and temp are all controlled via remote. And the remote can even be placed anywhere and is the thermostat. I loved having this during love making in Thailand. This is a well built GH and shaded. Are your various calculation all using the actual window measurements? Sorry I don't have a good feel for mini split Aircon sizing. But I used a 7k unit in 12sq m back bedroom mostly below ground and heated ceiling from home above. 9k in 16 SQ m room with 1 outside wall. 18k in 27k kitchen living area. And for sure heating Delta temps here higher than Thailands cooking. 20f outside 70 in 50 delta. Vs 99f and 74 for 25 delta in Thailand.
  21. If you are careful and pick the right woman for a wife there should be no need. IMHO
  22. So we now know the bungee cord was 7 years old. Never take any blame. Just like my Thai wife. After 5 years together I have finally got her to say she was sorry 2 times, and she made a mistake recently. What you guys fretting about the 22,000 for? Any western doc who saw the fall would want to do MRI, cat scan plus other tests, looking for micro fractures, plus the lung infection which I can arrest to. I got a lung infection 2 times in Thailand. Once from mouldy hotel Aircon, one time from tuk tuk ride in BKK during a rain. Lung infection would take a couple days to get bothersome. 3rd World country with first world ways to part people with their money.
  23. I love threads like this. It may givee hope an OCD , AR, guy like me wouldn't die if you make it. Haha. My first thoughts. Check on termite system! In Vietnam the builder used some type of poison powder he put around the inside of the beams on the main floor. I would have to look at my pictures and video to recall for sure but I think it was just before spreading out the pile of sand ,with a few bags of portland, that was mixed by shovels in the center of the room. This 75-100 mm of dry pack mud was the floor, tile was laid on top just hours after using a Portland slurry? This was on top of poorly compacted fill of 80-100 cm hauled in be wheelbarrow loads, pushed up a ramp by the women 2 days before. I was concerned about no compaction. The next day they flooded the area and people were sinking up to their knees as they did some march compaction dance. 2nd thought was is it ok to have septic tank under a slab? Or tucked in between beam? I guess it will have a pump access and should last a long time. What is a Dos hero made out of? 3rd concern was seeing the rebar thinking it was going to not be surrounded by a continuous fresh pour so water intrusion in the dry joint would cause rust. Glad they will raise it up. I am still wondering about the need for the mortar slab. But I guess it is a way to stabilize things so the supports don't move and if they move the mortar will show cracking. And also less chance of leakage under the forms during a pour. Probably only took a few hours. And can mark heights from the laser that would be more permanent than stakes that could get bumped during the form building. I've seen those cement puck spacers used. I guess that is a cheaper stronger way than relying on those plastic towers. When labor is so cheap. I did wonder what that low shade cloth was for? The boss probably sets up under the big one? I'm sure your current spreadsheet items will each get several subsets of their own. Proper prior planning prevenith <deleted> poor performance. The 7 Ps as my old salty boss on the javi program used to say.
