In the jungle

Have you heard of Lyme disease? Be fearful.

They are noisy. They smell. They may attack you or other people. They may bring parasites that can make you seriously ill or kill you. They cost you money. They will breed uncontrollably unless you neuter them which will cost you more money. They may harass or kill your cats and other pets. I am not a dog person.

Do they really need an autopsy (as stated in the link) to determine how the child died?

I bought it direct from Stihl's authorised distributor in Thailand as opposed to a retailer. Moreover anyone with experience can easily tell the qualitative difference between a real Stihl chainsaw and a fake.

Because I own a Stihl made by Stihl in a Chinese factory. It is probably the cheapest chainsaw they sell in Thailand. It cost 8000 Baht.

Fake.

I have the same iPhone SE but I got it for free. A hand me down from my wife. Now she is bitching about the absence of a home button on her new iPhone!

I think they do need to forearmed and forewarned. The funds may be legitimate but the bank may require them to document that they are. I have been required to do exactly that at times.

My experience is with Santander UK. If my Santander account in the UK receives just about any significant amount from abroad they demand to know who the funds are from and the source of the money. They threaten to suspend my account in the event that such information is not provided. As an example of this last year I spent five months in the UK. I covered my living costs in the UK from funds in my Santander account but I had underestimated the cost of living there. I therefore asked my wife in Thailand to transfer 3000 Sterling to me (I do not have online banking on my Thai account). That relatively small transfer from abroad was sufficient for Santander to write to me as described in the first paragraph. I have no way of knowing whether my account is flagged for some reason though I can think of no legitimate reason for them doing so. My experience is, of course, not Barclays specific but I mention it as forewarned is forearmed.

What he said. Fine and normal. Take them out and the pads will go clackety clackety clack until you cannot stand the noise any more and pay money to replace them.

Lazada or Shopee. Search by part number. The part number is on the filter.

61 years old. Really???

Does not really accord with TAT's image of a happy smiley retirement in Thailand.

I cannot think of a legitimate reason for such a visit. Maybe they want a day out of the office. Maybe they want to hit the applicant up for some cash.

That is the form I used in November 2022.

Which UK bank are you sending the money to?

Trump. The man who discussed dating his daughter on a chat show.

My experience, albeit with a Honda motorcycle, is different. In the UK I own a Thai manufactured Honda motorcycle. Wherever possible I buy parts for it in Thailand as in the UK the parts are four to five times the Thai price. There is, in fact, a grey market for parts for this model. On E bay there are numerous people selling service parts. Of course with a motorcycle it is much easier to hand carry parts from A to B. I would not consider hand carrying car parts such as a clutch, drive shaft or exhaust system.

I have similar problems. Generally it is of little consequence but it is a serious problem when letters from lawyers and banks are involved. Usually the problems are at the Thai end.

So why are they on this flight back to Moscow?

Yes. What he said. You can get 220v LED bulbs and throw away the transformers.

If it a Thai is looking for a used car they tend to go to used car dealers as they will be able to provide finance. I have sold one car here privately which was to another foreigner. I did not know him. My perception is that selling a car privately here is certainly much harder than in the UK,

Just for amusement I looked back at a costing I did in December 2009 for a 400w off grid system. At that time the total system cost was going to be 122,000 Baht including 3 x 130w panels at 24K each! Unsurprisingly I did not go beyond producing a costing.
