Just to add a caveat to an earlier post.
 
Make sure that fittings are compatible, i.e. don't screw a parallel thread to a tapered thread.

I second that, a common mistake !

I also wonder if this is available in LOS


This is the real deal, sort of liquid PTFE, just need to make sure that the joints are dry and allow sufficient drying time.

Used this for many years in my previous life as someone who worked for a living !

A Coca Spaniel ?

I have this on repeat for the last 45 min
 
 

Great song !

Nosguitar and Tropo

According to my gf I only paid today for the injections ( and other things )I received . Next time I will have to pay again for injections and any other incidentals.

Next appointment 12th Dec, will post price on here.

@nosguitar@tropo

Had another injection today plus weight checked, blood pressure checked and she also pointed a laser at my forehead this time ?, not sure if she was trying to read my barcode or give me the Indian red dot ! [emoji51]

Anyway, charged me another 1,010 baht ! , so the grand total will be 6,080 ( there’s another shot on my card now 6th Jan, must have missed it before , so 3 more to go )

I sense they are feeling more familiar with me now and the farangs bum novelty has worn off , this time they sat me on a chair, rolled my sleeve up and jabbed me , not even a plaster !
At this rate for the last shot they will probably get me with a blow pipe as I’m walking cross the parking lot !!

The library?
I heard they had one in Alexandria, Egypt, but wasn't it destroyed?
Or are you living in a parallel universe?

Funnily enough I was in the uk recently and needed to print a doc from a flash drive, went to the local library, there were more computers than books in there.

Although, I think the library aforementioned has a different appeal other than books !!

You do realize there are two polls going now and this is only the preliminary phase before the actual final poll? 

Yes, and seems like I can vote in both polls !! That can’t be right surely ?
If I have 2 votes I want to use them in Poll 1 as that’s where my nominations went.

Of course I could always not vote in Poll 2 but then I can’t see the action !!

Decisions, decisions .

thanks Andrew...for most of us remote from the MFA the EMS cost won't be that bad to have the signed document delivered...the alternative is to hang around BKK with the associated expense when we'd just like to be at home playing with the grandkids...

 

as this requirement for MFA is unusual I fear that some folks may find themselves in a bind if they leave the extension renewal to the 'last minute'...if yer in immigration district 3 check out yer IO requirements for extensions of stay a few weeks before ye apply...

 

btw...Ayutthaya IO had this requirement briefly and then someone said that it had been withdrawn...when were you there last? Ayutthaya useta be my IO until the Suphan office opened last year and there was no requirement for MFA then and I was dismayed when I heard...they were always nice folks...but the diktat came from above just like it did at Suphan and they had no choice...

 

I called 1178 and complained and the dude said: 'it's probably a new requirement' and I said': 'if it is a new requirement then it would be nationwide and for which I would have no problem...BUT IT IS NOT! it's just for immigration district 3 indicating that someone there has a serious problem as extreme inconvenience can occur, especially when extension applicants have no previous advice...'

 

if enough folks complain maybe we can beat this...don't be afraid of the bastids...

 

 

I haven’t done an extension yet ( due Sept 2018 ) as managed to squeeze 2 years from an O-A Visa.

Was at IO a couple of weeks ago for TM30 update ( thankfully Ayutthaya don’t enforce it ), they seem friendly enough. My next 90 days is not for 70 days and I probably will try online but the IO is not far from me so I can pop in anytime.

They're hardly likely to SCORE if they're in goal! 

Wouldn’t be so sure !!



Probably gets the same reaction after a bit of solitary confinement !

 
yeah...please...we need to have all the info for this to lessen the inconvenience...an EMS return after submitting in person will help tremendously, otherwise I'd need to have a driver outta BKK retrieve the document and bring it up to my house at considerable cost...
 
('bbbut, wouldn't it be nice to have an excuse to have a party in BKK?'...shit; I'd rather sleep in my own bed and eat my own food than any party in that shithole...not directed at you, tanoshi you have been helpful...)
 
 

I can confirm that an EMS return is available from MFA, I visited British Embassy and on going back home ( Ayutthaya ) called in at MFA , EMS took about 3 days.
Sorry, don’t recall the actual cost .

One of my favourite places in Thailand:
Prachuap Khiri Khan

Some stunning scenery round here:
Na Yai Am, Chanthaburi

Somewhere near Mae Sot

Peaceful living in rural Ayutthaya.

 

 

I suppose not strictly classed as a flower but lovely all the same.

Seems like he wanted to give her the tip !! [emoji33]
