We slide a piece of plywood under the net then turn the whole lot over, they can then be easily transferred outside the wall and shaken out of the net. The one in the picture a small cobra but from the day they are born their venom is full strength so don't mess with these guys unless you know how to handle them. Biggest cobra we had was over 2 mtrs long, he went swimming in the pool so he was easy to catch in the pool net.

kindly allow me to ask in which region/area you live and encounter these creatures of nature?

for a regretful few many, it goes thrown down the many lovely rivers of this lovely country

Exactly the opposite is inferred from OP.

looks that it was one sole model,????

but in general tuk tuks from the current market are not road legal for tom dick and harry??????? (question mark)....

not an affirmation but a question and all useful answers would be welcome

ok but as I did not find the ad either, was interested in getting one to cruise around a bit in Thailand...so if the OP is reading, please give details...thank you.

if the 90 day reporting is still required....this visa is worthless!!!...sorry guys!!

Cleantech products are gaining popularity these days. I've gotta say Bioethanol chimney burners are old Cleantech already. I'd be waiting till 2018 when Elon Musk releases his new clean energy product on the market that he's been working on. I've heard that it's a real game changer and will also save you a lot of money too.

 

But this being said, is the hot & humid weather in the high 30's - 40 degrees celsius too cold for you that you need to install a fireplace in your house to keep you warm?

thanks for the info, . I was not aware that Telsa is into decorative bioethanol chimney burners!!!!??...

however I did catch your intrigue regarding the use....

Rest be assured, it is not for heating!!....it was rather to use  the burners as mentioned in my post for the outdoors as decorative elements, inserted in cement structures on different areas around the pool and the property...no no..don't misunderstand my intentions, it's not for shooting making a decor for a X rated movie, but decorative and controled fire elements do  give a certain decorative touch around various outdoor areas within a private estate.

 the super car being the former toy of a individual charged withj a notorious drug lord, and assuming he would want his ride back, who would risk the venture in having this beauty parked in front of their porch and attract unnecessary attention and trouble?... jealousy often has no limits..

Wondering if bio ethanol for outdoor ethanol chimney burners is available in Thailand?  Anybody familiair with the availability of this technology in Thailand?

interesting comments....what seems to be a common denominator is the residency certificate with a 30 day tourist visa waiver....however, if a tourist is staying in a hotel or a rented home, how would he be able to obtain a residency certificate?...seems a bit unlikely???

very few can claim not having bought those V Dutch t-shirts by the kilo!!!!!....but when it comes to electronics and if there is a safety hazard...better beware!!

Not wishing to devalue the guy's loss, but, yes, going to any country in the world advertising easy money on offer is going to attract attention from certain quarters.  

 

Most days he'll be lucky, but turn a corner on the wrong day and the flash and lure of expensive jewellery is going to get certain locals frothing at the mouth and they're well versed in relieving you of your bling.

 

Certainly not the fault of the tourist in question but he won't be doing that again.  

 

On the upside, he didn't get hurt and could have easily ended up being repatriated to Japan with all sorts of injuries had it not been a clean swipe.  Worth more than gold? 

Obviously common sense is the rule of the thumb!....But allow me to contradict my humble self and evoke if it a reason to get ripped off and sort of scorned as a "raw fish national"??

is he really Thai?

Or just another immigrant who sort of made it out today, and just looks to give back the change of what he went through in his early years in the country?

Hua Hin is nice and quiet...but general retail is well overpriced compared to Bangkok....small time real estate investors are not all unbrained hormone injected drunk farangs looking for local titties, so consequently local retail prices should line aside Bangkok and other places of Thailand and consumerism will boost!!....or else why purchase in a place where daily consumption will cost more then elsewhere in Thailand?

never mess with the strong thai currents!!!!

RIP to the gentleman better getting ripped off by the local cowboys with wrenchers who know where to go, rather then risk your life,..

stay safe!

The content of the cited press article cite a citizen from the land of "raw fish"???!!

If obviously it could be questionnable regarding the display of valuables in the safe havens of Pattaya, the dynamics of the local observers seem to be -  "you have money, so serves you right"!!!....miserable....

redbull?

crime and punishment ver. 4.1

if a death sentence, anyplace in the world, carries 0% doubt on the guilt of the  deserving culprit, so be it...

if a single death sentence, can claim deterrene to 1 sole potential criminal to perpetrate, so be it...

if not...drop it!

It’s very unlikely that the Quadro4 will ever come to Thailand, as it would not be road legal. As a 4-wheeled vehicle it doesn’t pass the Thai road safety regulations. They have an exception to the regulation if a set of wheels is close enough… two wheels can be considered as one wheel. I can tell that will be a homologation nightmare for anybody who try to get the Quadro4 legally on the road in Thailand.

oki thanks for the information and no, I will not even dream to import any vehicle into Thailand unless it's locally available and road ready!..Wish you many a safe rides and carry on livin' to ride..!!!!!!
