  1. 28,000 USD per month??? Nearly I mil baht?
  2. My 80+ USA mom hated the " Black lives matter" so much she ordered some "all lives matter" signs and gave some away. What a crazy World we live in.
  3. I Iike the hidden metal roof idea. I'm picturing 3 sides of parapet facade with an open sloping drainage plane. Maybe no drain pipes encased, better water collection, solar panel mounting. Will have that rain sound but proper insulation should help that.
  4. Just found a great website that deals with the complexities of flashing for brick structures. Jump to fig 59-61. The top of your roof walls can't be just left uncovered. The flashing starts here. Bricks mortar assemblies are permeable.
  5. Need a super laugh emoji. I just watched the culture video but what stood out was the children out of uniforms. Hardly see young children or youth under 21 without uniforms. Heck even the soi Cowboy and Nana girls have uniforms. There is something to this uniform brain washing.
  6. Just take out those nice decorative bar areas. Fill it all in with brick and add to the top all the way across using a layer of steel in the first and 2nd to last course. Render it all over again to look like one homogeneous wall. Cap with broken glass to look real Thai.
  7. Further pondering. Doesn't this desperation case speak about the quality of women in his home area?
  8. I think his only chance is she has a respected higher government position. A school director told me if she defaulted on her loans from the school scam find bank whatever it is she would lose her job. Plus with all the bad press about Thailand lately. It would be interesting to learn the lawyers fee deal? Can you believe anyone would loan a guy to send money to a gal in Thailand he had never let. And a bank loan must have collateral
  9. Yes, I think it's not clear he meant a 2 some.
  10. Those dogs just sleep 8n the road and even if you slow down they don't move until you are so close they can't be seen so you need to just assume they have moved. Hope everything works out. Seems like dogs have more eights than people in Thailand. ? Why is this?
  11. Yes a jammer so cars were unlocked and could be robbed if they went in store or restroom.
  12. Humourous read. 70 kg?? She must have some booty or other specialized equipment. Buying used gagged me. But I guess that's common in Thailand and the World. I think there are much more modern versions of these dolls out of Japan.
  13. You better plan on the 800i in the bank visa because it seems like agent service's are on the out with all this corruption in the recent news. Don't spend down your 5 million. Perhaps work 2-2 more years before moving to Thailand. Any chance the ED can be corrected?
  14. I read the other day that a 7-11 gets crashed into by a car 100 times each day. https://www.businessinsider.com/drivers-crash-into-us-storefronts-every-day-7-eleven-2023-2?op=1
  15. But in January in the village some children had to stand on the crowded truck with a bed just like this. 200 baht/ mo. Looked like 30 children so the guy will make 28x200 5600 or 400 baht less for 2 hours work for school days. But they will need a new additional driver for 2 kids more..
  16. I can't believe Thai people including my wife eats those. Hot dogs are as low as I go. And about every 5 years I eat one.
  17. Crossy, don't you have enough water?
  18. I would consider the space between ceiling and drop tiles as an attic. And yes mold Will occur before you know about the leaks. A flage with a broad area for the membrane to adhere to is what I was hoping for. I saw the cup depression in that detail drawing but didn't know how that was made. It looked like it was only in the sand slurry . You still didn't address the cracking and movements that will occur between the roof slab and vertical walls or the side and tops of those walls. Welded Membrane companies don't have a warranty in Thailand? They also have ways to pre install and waterproof equipment mounting support points. So somehow the upper roof drains exit out into the lower roofs? How do those lower roofs drain to the pond? Wind can blow leaves and debris a long ways. Can't believe in 30 years you won't have any plants nearby. How easy will it be to ladder up to all the levels?
  19. But isn't it outrageous that they demanded 3000 pounds before providing pain meds. Should be a crime. Sure is a national disgrace. I bet she can was in massive pain. Such a sad story. So nice people donate. I have never looked on fo fund me.
  20. I just wanted to point out one more point of high probability of leaking. Around each PVC drain pipe. I assume that is a pipe that will just extent up pre- pour and be cut off flush later. First off cement slope and smoothness is hard to maintain around protrusions. What schedule PVC pipe are the drains?The wall thickness of PVC is less than 4mm. So some painted on product will be able to adhere and seal to that small cross section? Because if not then seepage will go down the pipe. Are those pipes ran down in the hollow wall cavities?
  21. 2" is to small and you will need to access all those different roof planes often to clean off leaves and sticks and clogged drains. I don't see a leaf filter grate installed to keep small mammals from clogging the pipes? So all these drain pipes will be ran to a couple of collection tanks? Horizontal drain pipes need need a slope of like 1/36. Can't believe for 1 second you will get a 1/100 slope concrete pour without several pooling locations. What access is there going to be in the attic to find leak locations? And what ceiling type and it's repairability will be used? It looks like there is a vertical wall extending above the flat roof. How will that joint be sealed? how about that vertical portion? There will be movement and cracking at those junctions!!! What about the top of those walls? I say go with a welded membrane that goes up and over all the vertical walls and the walls are capped with a continuous metal cap with a drip edge to keep water from running down your exterior walls. Solar installation is going to penetrate this nice membrane. What does that do for their warranty? Looks nice but your going to have issues.
  22. Can't believe in 2.5 years you got the price down to 5$ Poor Thai guy just trying to help a sick person.
  23. It starts here at acceptance. Corruption. Letting taxis charge to much. Same accepting attitude posted here as in my taxi not using a meter thread years ago. You are the enablers!
  24. It's sad the beaches are not safe at all hours as indicated by many posters here. And after 2 trips to the hospital, and a shower most likely,his picture doesn't looked roughed up to some of you. A broken nose isn't always crooked or swollen
