    and was fascinated...if yer an american you can remember a time during yer yoof when a meal could be had for $0.50 with a packet (box) of Krafts Macaroni and cheese...boil the pasta, drain and then add the 'cheese' packet, swish about and bob's yer uncle...

     

    so I had half of a 500g package of elbow macaroni from tesco and a 250g package of Mainland 'Vintage' cheddar and set to work...man was that good...expensive, however as the cheese cost nearly 300 baht and used half...

    I get the Mainland cheese out of convenience, but found it very oily indeed when grated for cheese on toast or cauliflower cheese.

    I should try to find a better one without driving miles and miles.

  2. My lawn has recently become an area for a cat to use as its toilet during the night, I tried limes and it seemed to work until they dried out and got expensive to replace every couple of days. Would lime juice (40% concentrate) bought in bulk work if sprayed over the area?

    I did search and found another similar request but it went unanswered.

    I am looking for a humane way to deal with this if possible.

     

    Thank you so much.

  3. Hi All,

     

    I have decided to purchase a Kodi box and try to follow the thread by Jai Dee Kodi for dummies. My son will help (i hope) but i wish to purchase the box first from Zeer Rangsit prior to his arrival. 

    I see there are many different threads here which i have read but could someone point me in the direction of a decent box thread, what are minimum requirements and ports etc, or the kodi box model ID.

     

    I have AIS fiber but my router is not near my TV if that makes a difference. and wish to watch sports, movies and some series.

    In an ideal world, i would have preferred to go to a shop and ask them to build it, but i will attempt myself as i doubt that is possible.

     

    Thank you in advance for your advice and patience.

    My question is, do we need a visa to enter Laos?

    A few years ago i got a visa to enter Laos in BKK before travelling.  

    One day service, maybe the more informed members can pinpoint the location to get it as i have forgotten exactly.

    I do though remember it saved me a long wait at the Thai/Laos border.

     

    Just a thought.

    Hi, Would someone with recent experience pls confirm Chatuchak plant market open Tues eve in addition to Thurs and Fri daytime? And besides that and the Or Tor Kor market nearby, are there any other substantial plant markets in Bangkok walking distance from a BTS or MRT stop? Thanks.

    I stumbled upon your post, I am planning to go to Chatuchak as I am looking for a new "mature" chilli bush as mine died.

    Below are the opening days for flowers (and plants i assume).

  6. Hi,

    My wife can drive me tomorrow, but she is not here today.

     

    Thank you.

    I hope there is some punishment, but if its so wide spread.. i doubt much will be done.. maybe they don't even dismantle the system. Some people are not happy at all that this came out 

    No nothing will be done. Maybe a tail-ender will be punished.. It seems to be ingrained..like a father / son chat.

    <deleted> steal what you can.

    You bought the khaki uniform, so,,,

    Sad fact about this is the people skimming money off these schemes do not think they are doing wrong.

    They consider it as a perk of the job.

    They handed over serious money to get their positions, and they are just clawing it back.

    Agree with you on this point Colin, seems totally embedded.

    What to do?.. rip it and start again?.. i doubt it that work.

     

    I wonder how much of the budget is skimmed yearly...frightening i reckon.

    That said i was in a govt  building the other day and one poor  woman was in there as she had been selling chickens  without  the proper paperwork to sell them in a market, my Wife asked her  how many chickens she sold, FOUR in a whole evening, stupid paperwork for 4  chickens and the woman had come miles to register.

    so the limit should be 4 chickens of unregistered origin then?
