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.

Was she asked to wai or told it was the best thing to do?
Absolute disgusting outcome to some man slapping a woman for not indicating.
Shameful.

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.

Was he expecting to recoup his payment by doing overtime?.. lock them both up.

Well said.
IMHO, I would like to see all these ribbons/pins/etc removed from their uniforms for a start.
Let them strut around just in the cream shirt and trousers and not have them expecting all to bend as they pass.
And to the honest officials,, tough (deleted), blame your thieving and low-life colleagues.

Seems daily that corruption is unearthed or brought media attention, while Prayut mouths off about fighting corruption from his pedestal.
Today he meets with the cast of some opera,, talk about Nero fiddling while Rome burns..

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.

He said it will better help solving problems rather than just exercising authority or implementing the law.
How about you go first Mr. PM...

Tesco has this (and possibly more) https://shoponline.tescolotus.com/groceries/en-GB/search?query=sauce&page=9
Have not seen OXO cubes near me in BKK suburbs, maybe in downtown Villa but i am not 100% sure.

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.

I will expect to read about 82,371 investigations into misappropriation of funds in a couple of years time then.

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).

See it all the time in my local Tesco, from old pick-ups through to high end cars parked in handicapped and parents with babies reserved parking.
Sometimes see the security reversing them in.
This is internal parking so not hot but hey hum if it saves them walking 10 meters.
Pure laziness/selfishness IMHO, most likely 95% should not be parking in these places.

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?

Additional info
Just about about sums up the attitude of drivers here, why waste time when you could be tail-gating and trying to under-pass in a honda jazz/ chevy pick-up/fortruner/11 yr old Izuzu/ vios on drugs..etc most with an exhaust big enough to easily fit a Mcd triple burger into.
(swear word with an F) ridiculous.
Sorry, failed to add the chevy pick-up with Che Guava and bullet hole stickers
