I'm in Chiang Mai, or perhaps it's because I'm a falang.

I doubt many Thais ask for a bank letter for immigration.

It is 100 Baht at every bank I have ever requested the letter.

How about removing the battery

not pure but around 65%.

Hydrochloric acid exists in different strengths, with the strongest being 34.6%. The strength should be written on the bottle.

Pool shops have it and Thaiwatsadu also used to have it, but I think the 22% version.

I use wet sanding paper, as another poster suggested already and because HCI is nasty stuff, and it works a charm.

Not sure why you would want to pay a westerner to travel and do it for you.

There are 100s of shops that specialise in security cameras and the installation etc.

Have you noticed that whenever there is a news thread where CCTV cameras are mentioned that it says the cameras were not working?

But, I suspect Narongsak (a) didn't know who Musk

I'm sure everyone involved at a higher level in the rescue, including Narong was well informed who Musk is but they had their reasons to reject the offer.

I'm also sure that Narong didn't reject it on his own.

It was posted in the Royal Gazette last Wednesday I believe?    Maybe wrong  though. 

The transfer was approved in April, and was supposed to take effect last Wednesday, but was delayed because of the ongoing rescue.

Recently i have had all my orders cancelled as it is requesting that i PAY NOW.

That sounds as if COD was available at the time of order, and was later cancelled.

Is that correct?

If so my second question is, do you frequently reject orders on delivery?

I would think the best time is right before they stop issuing queue tickets, because then at least you know the maximum time it will take.

Nope ....good fun hey?

You bet, what you describe is a daily occurrence on the Paris ring road, with big bikes going at high speed between the cars during morning rush.

Sure there are some youtubes about

I'm taking this as meaning that no TV channel here in LOS (terrestrial, satellite or cable) will be showing EPL games from the start of the 2019 season,

There will always be IPTV who don't give a toss about who actually own the rights.

Does this mean that FB goes paid, or do they make those streams available for free?

Amazon is also going big time into sports broadcasting by the way.

About 4 hrs ago i was travelling on a 2 lane each way divided Hwy and there was heaps of traffic in both lanes...well as it was a highway we were all travelling about 100klms per hour, when i heard a noise like a large truck approaching...It wasnt, it was a guy on a motorbike coming through between myself and a car beside me in the other lane ...he came through that fast, it felt like we were standing still. he would have had to be doing 160klms at least, going on how quick it all happened...he was gone like a flash ahead of us, ducking between cars...gee it was good to get home and close the gate....

I take it you've never driven on the Paris ring ?

The cashflow would be too transparent.

You remember the story a few years ago about a certain section of the tollway in Bangkok, can't recall which section, which didn't issue tickets for years and pocketed a large part of the tolls paid?

That fraud ran into the billions of Thai baht.

I propose a deal where I will personally fund the installation and monitoring of 200 intersections in Pattaya/Jomtien. I get 20% of the fine revenue and the cops keep the rest. Sat at Pattaya Tai and third road by Kens and counted 218 infractions in 10 minutes. By my conservative calculations:

200 infractions x 6 = 1200/hour x 18 hours = 2160 infractions / day x 200 intersections = 432,000 infractions recorded / day x 1000baht/infraction=

432,000,000 x 20% = 86,400,000 / day gross profit. The installation would be paid off in 6 hours and I would be pocketing 2.6 billion baht per month. Only flaw in my plan is if you actually fined these people they would abide by the law and screw up my bottom line. Lets just fine them 100baht/infraction and I'll have to be happy with 260M/month

 

Good point, and one I have been thinking about for years.

if a Pattaya policemen would take post at just 1 traffic light and fine them 100 Baht without a ticket, he could buy himself a new benz every month.

So are they really that dumb or are there other factors in play?

Other booze also sharply increasing in price now.

Bell's whisky went from 345 to 395 I noticed today at Big c and makro.

That's 15%

yes, it had an insole, i took it out but those shoes are several numbers too

small, i require a bare minimum of 13.

the 2nd pair you showed, the first pair in black after my pair is exactly what

i want, but the sizes here in pygmy land is not the size we think of in north europe.

i live in pattaya, and i suspect there is no reason to believe sizes in lazada is any different to sizes in aliexpress, and if there are differences, then i would just start over in narrowing it down where i am in relation to lazada prizes, should i start over with lazada.

now i have pinpointed what size i am in relation to aliexpress, i'm 13+, changing biz partner now is pissing away what info i have gathered, and the cost that incurred.

the last pair of shoes is not what i look for.

i will switch over to lazada if i cant find any 13+ shoes on aliexpress that fit, IF lazada happen to have 13+ sizes that is, otherwise i'l be stuck here in pygmy-land with nothing but flip flops until i'm dead or can get outa here

Tony's mall at the crossroad pattaya tai and third road sells Chines shoes from Bayo and a few other brands.

I bought a few times already because they are cheap and decent quality. The sports store upstairs in Central marina has the same gym shoes at double the price.

My size is 41, but with the chinese shoes i have 42 or 43 depending on the model.

Why lazada and not just a regular electronics shop? For example JIB or banana IT both have online shops

JIB sells on Lazada, and is cheaper than on their own site or in their shops.

I recall I wanted to order a usb drive that was listed by JIB on Lazada at 150Bht, so I thought well I have to be in Pattaya anyway so I'll pick it up at JIB tukcom.

At the shop the very same drive was 225 Baht

Most have lowered their alcohol content   Cheers extra, Tapper and (I'm told ) San Miguel Red Horse

6%

The ones you name will most probably follow suit in the near future, or have a price increase. Probably still old stock on the shelves now.

I have just come back from Big C and noticed the same, this on the boxes of Gossips and Bodegas Valley which in large numerals/letters said:  "10% Vol".

 

Usually it would be printed something like this: 10% Alc by vol, so the wording above is a little strange??

 

Both these wines come from Australia and have fruit juice added, so I had a look at the Montclair and that states 12% Alc by vol  whereas I think it used to be 13% or thereabouts, and the Peter Vella bottled wines were at 11%, so perhaps the alcohol by volume has come down?

 

Very strange!

Wait a few more tax increases from these idiots and the boxes will read fruit juice with wine added, and be the alcohol content as beer is today, yet the price will be higher than now.

The Chinese and Thais I know do not drink wine or eat cheese anyway.

Mostly cheap whiskey drinkers.
