In the jungle

You do not say when your community service order was made or how long it lasted.

Info on Rehabilitation Of Offenders Act here:

My guess is spent and therefore no need to declare it.

There is no way the Thai Bureau of Immigration would have access to British criminal records without at least some form of signed authority from you to do so.

Even if they had that I cannot see that they would jump through the necessary hoops to get such information.  In broad terms the British government do a pretty good job in terms of keeping personal records confidential. 

This is quite popular with the ladies.

Thanks, and I checked after seeing your post, Car2car site, Carry 2012-2014, and you are well priced.  ????

I keep tinkering with the idea of getting one, and converting a camper 'box' on the back bed.

Good luck with the sale, anyone doing research will realize you're 20k below any other offers, along with being well maintained / updated.  ????

I spent more than a decade working professionally as race car engineer so all the work done has been done right by me using genuine parts. and it is all documented.

 "This vehicle appears to have never been subject to hard use and was easily the best of many I looked at."

 

Are you buying or selling ?

Selling. 

That was my judgement when I bought the vehicle.  I looked at probably a dozen in Bangkok and this one was the best of the bunch.

123,000 km

Just had major service.  Cambelt and alternator belts replaced.  Spark plugs and air filter replaced.  Valve clearances adjusted.  Engine oil and oil filter replaced.  Gearbox oil replaced.  Brake fluid replaced.  Coolant replaced.

Body and interior are in excellent condition.   Drives very well with no faults.  This vehicle appears to have never been subject to hard use and was easily the best of many I looked at.

New Kenwood stereo with CD.  Android and Apple compatible. 

16 inch alloy wheels plus standard wheels (five).

Located in Chumphon.  More photos available.

140,000 Baht

0818022786

I would go for that at 6330 Baht.

One point to consider is that the main lock may well be fixed to the bike with special anti-tamper screws.  If so a main dealer will have the tool for that but there are work-arounds.

Red Baron in Bangkok used to be reasonably good for big bike parts but I have not been there in over a decade.

Yes I think your understanding of what he wants to do is correct.  Pump and tank on the roof should work well.and you will get much better pressure than pumping the water up to a third floor from ground level.

Using the tank on the roof also has the advantage that you will continue to get water in the event of a power cut albeit at lower pressure.

I clean and sterilise the water tanks and pipework here every year.  For sterilisation I use bleach (blue Haiter) at one litre per one thousand litres of stored water.  The water will have a slight smell of bleach for a couple of days but it will not do you any harm.   The cleaning is just done with a good blast from a hosepipe.  We have heavy duty gasoline powered pressure washers here but it really isn't necessary to go to those lengths.

It may well be that the city water pressure is sufficient to pump the water to the top of the building without a pump but you would have to measure the pressure with a gauge to find out.

11K a year is not a reasonable salary for a graduate.

Minimum wage will be 15K if current proposal is implemented.

My wife's unskilled Burmese workers already make 15K a month.

I think I recall that the Ridgeline has independent rear suspension which would mean it falls outside the Thai definition of a pickup truck.

Also kind of a gas hog compared with the trucks sold here (I am guessing that the figures are miles per US gallon).

Okay the monk was out of order... but nothing said about the "lady in question" having a relationship with a monk which as we all know is a NO NO.

It's OK.  He had undergone a disrobing ceremony for the proceedings.

I think the man's behaviour was appalling.

I have zero sympathy for him. 

The woman, on the other hand, was humiliated in front of her friends and subject to an unprovoked assault.  She deserves no punishment for her reaction to that.

They are but flesh and blood.

Thats an odd thing for the Amphur to say, its really up to them how hard/easy the process is. Some will issue them with a minimum of documentation.

It may well be that they just wanted me to go away!  It was late afternoon on a Friday and they were all just chilling out in the office with nothing to do.  My wife and I were the only people there.

I remember asking about the Yellow Book years ago at the Amphur and their advice, paraphrased, was 'Don't bother.  It is a world of pain to get it and it is of very limited use.'

I have done the vast majority of the pipework on our house exposed.  If you plan carefully where you run the pipes it doesn't have to be ugly.  Much of it runs around the outside walls of the house just below the ceilings of the verandah which is on all sides.

PVC pipe and jointing systems do not seem to have anything like the lifespan of copper pipe with brazed joints.

The original pipework, generally under-specified, is still buried in the walls and under the floors.

With exposed pipework it is easy to see the leaks and fix them and also easy to make changes to the water system.

We bought the house secondhand.  There was no way I was going to start smashing up walls or the, beautifully done, granite floor trying to find a water leak in the original pipework.   

I use blue PVC for the cold and copper for the hot.

The copper pipe and fittings (braze type only IIRC) came from this company in Bangkok.

If you need somebody to braze the connections air con guys know how to do it.

Are you applying on the e-visa site?

I am pretty sure he must be.  I think it is the only option now if you are applying from within the UK.

It looks to me like he was just trying to cool the brakes down.

IMO there is only one brand of chainsaw - electric or petrol - that is worth considering. Stihl. They will last a very long time if maintained properly, and can handle tough conditions. I've never tried Husqvarna, they may be as good.

 

Don't even think of buying Chinese, they are garbage. I bought a couple for my son, 24" blades. He cuts about 100 tonnes of firewood every year on his property. They broke down within weeks. Chasing a warranty claim was an exercise in futility, and there were no shops that had spare parts for them.

I then bought him a Stihl Farm Boss, about 15 years ago. He's still using it.

What he said.

The Chinese stuff is just an exercise in frustration.  Poor quality.  No parts or technical support.  Just don't bother.  In the Thai marketplace Stihl is the go to brand.  If you hire someone here to do chainsaw work I can almost guarantee they will turn up with a Stihl.  It's the Hilux of chainsaws. 

I have a Stihl MS180.  It is maybe 8 years old and I cannot remember exactly what I paid for it.  Maybe 8000.  Worth the money.

But the main reason I am posting is because I strongly advise against using a chainsaw at height.  You are much better off paying somebody else to do that; whether with your tool or their own.

Chainsaws can cause horrendous injuries and the risks increase at height.
