Just skimming over this long thread, I'm glad my wife is of Vietnamese stock, though she was born in Thailand.  She has half-Thai siblings.  Seems like the problems are now coming from the kids of her half-Thai siblings who married Thais.  One nephew recently ran off with some of his Mom's emergency gold stash.  Her other kid wrecked his motorcycle for the second time (drunk) and did a few days in the hospital. 
 
The half-Thai brother in law is great, but he married a Thai of less than sterling reputation.  Their two kids are a piece of work.  Too bad we sponsored them to come to the USA.  The girl could make big bucks in Pattaya.  The boy couldn't do yard work without destroying my lawn mower and weed eater, despite his upbringing in a motorcycle shop in Thailand.

Yeah...it took me awhile to find it and it does not show up in the Android app...only on website

Okay thanks, found it

My current 7 days package is good till next Wednesday but I'll definitely give it a go then.

I was on a 15 day 512K plan for 168 baht but just noticed there is a 30 day 1Mbps plan for 300 baht. Better deal I doubled my speed and saved 38 baht per month. At 99 baht for 7 days, if you use a full month you are paying about 400 baht ...better deal if you are interested. AIS prepaid.

UPDATE: Just got a response from London Embassy -  below is straight copy and paste - Showing confirmation that postal applications are acceptable.

I bought a dozen "Eco Wedge" from Solar Center in UK. All still working well two years later.
Much better quality than previous solar lights I tried.
Seen Chinese copies in HomePro but they seemed flimsier.
The original versions are available on ebay, Amazon or direct from Solar center.
 

 
I thought all this was sorted... I checked on my Samsung phone this afternoon and not all images are showing, so not just you Andrew!  It seems to depend on Browser too I think...(?)
 
Ron will have to report the issue(s) again.... since I can't communicate with "the gods" anymore! ....
Perhaps you could mention which browser you are using... it might help!

Eggsactly folks , thanks.

Samuijimmy you are an enigma !!
I continue to struggle to view your photos !!, much the pity !
I can't see any photo after #365 except for the last 3 photos ( cone of weeds etc ) which I could see yesterday but not today !!, hence I assume that the problem is my end.

For example, on the July 2017 Photography competition yours is the only photo I can't see !

Anyway, despite this problem, I still enjoy your photos and hope you continue to post for a long time to come, and when I resolve my viewing issue I will have a lot to catch up on [emoji4]

Despite my earlier post I would go for the crushed stone, sfokevin's photo looks great.

Yes how true, but am amazed OP's wife doesn't know - On the news there was a Thai that offered something like 50,000 eggs as a blessing for good luck

Saw, yesterday, on a walk up to a temple ( wat pa khlong sip et ) several eggs placed on tree stumps, must have been about 8 or 9 at intervals of about 50 to 100 yards.

Asked the gf but she knows nothing.

Just for curiosity [emoji51]

Wat pa khlong sip et, Pathum Thani

I'm on prepaid 7 days unlimited internet 99 baht ( 105 with tax ), 4G speed 1 Mbps or in 3G area goes down to 375 Kbps, phone usage on top. Gf is on the same, don't really use the phone as a phone anymore, use , FaceTime, Line, WhatsApp etc.

There is another at 89 baht ( 94 with tax ) unlimited internet at 512 Kbps for 7 days, good as well, buffers a bit watching videos online at certain times of day ( hence I went for the 99 baht version).

Let me save you some time here:

You are gonna make it in crushed stone because you are " the man of the house " " you wear the pants " and it's what you want. !!

So you will do it in crushed stone, then it starts :

1) I don't like it !

2) The stones are too big I can't walk on it properly !

3) The stones are too small, they get stuck in the scooter tyres !

4) When it hasn't rained for a couple of days its too dusty.

5) It's ruining the heels of my shoes !

6) Can't wash the dog crap off with the hosepipe, it goes everywhere !!

etc etc etc

So in a fit of rage you will rip half of the stones out and order the concrete, but because you are all miffed you will not water it and it'll be all cracked and ugly !!

Or you could just go with the concrete and save yourself a lot of stress and sleepless nights on the sofa !!

It all adds to the " I've been here longer than you, I speak better Thai than you, my Thai wife is younger, prettier and hotter in bed than yours " syndrome that many have on here.

Personally, I've been here just a short time am learning Thai and my gf is way better looking than me !! [emoji51]
