Not the Mile High club?

Yes, just gratuitous pictures of a pretty girl. I get more hard facts from the ChromeCrumpet Facebook page.

Tommy Toon 0852646716 Used him many times for my family BKK/HH, nice guy, safe driver. 4x4 with very comfortably seats which even recline a bit in the back. 2000 baht one way and he'll be happy, it's worth it. Does longer journeys too.

Yes thank you. Soi 56. ????

I hope you survive without losing your sanity. One thought: to turf a traveller in need out of a mosque/prayer room would be DISTINCTLY unIslamic. I think you might receive a welcome for your airbed, but be prepared to be asked to move for prayer times maybe.

Info/question answered: Hafele kindly informed me about the PTT bottle shop in Soi 54, 29 metres before the khlong road lights on the right hand side.

Isn't a full 18kg gas bottle a bit difficult on a win bike? Anyway I don't live in town.

Thanks kindly. That's how I used to do it in the UAE, my two bottles were rented from a local supplier who just came to the house and replaced the empty one with a full one. My problems with your answer are that (1) I don't know where my local supplier is, can I go to a PPT station maybe, just for a refill? And (2) as I said I own the bottle, it came with the Grill King barbeque I bought from Hafele. Maybe I'll just give them a call and check their ideas, they may tell me which supplier supplies their bottles. Thanks again for putting me on the path. ????

Hi all. I searched for 'refill lpg propane' and found nothing here, which was a surprise. My owned 18kg bottle is empty and I would like to refill it. It's the usual Thai/Australian 'internal only' old-type screw connection. Can anyone tell me where to go to refill it, and what's a reasonable cost? Is it from a metered pump like refilling your car with petrol? I don't know the form here. Thanks.

I would check direct with immigration as they love to change the rules. For my renewal (65k income method, so not exactly the same) it used to be a 12 month bank statement in which I highlighted the monthly income. Then two or three years ago they changed to wanting individual income letters for each month. Then last year they wanted both. I'm waiting to see what they demand next month....

Unfortunately I don't carry my computer everywhere I want to order food delivery.... Anyway, the Tap to Translate app that was recommended yesterday seems to translate live Web menu pages faultlessly. If you know how to set an app to display over other apps.

So no thanks.

I don't travel with a laptop, no. I order food, hotel rooms , <deleted> from Lazada, submit medical insurance claims, etc. all on a smartphone.

I'm using it now and it's great! Thanks again.

That sounds really useful, thanks.

So I was correct about Google Lens and you maligned me wrongly?

Thanks. Yes, that's the problem. The items very often aren't translated. And the options (extras, cutlery, etc) , aren't either.

It's completely unintuitive. I don't see how to open the app on my phone and read an online Grab restaurant page on the same phone.

Take 20 photos per menu? ????

Of course we won't argue. But too many of the restaurants I'm interested in (not burger joints) only have Thai menus, with Thai options which can't be navigated. Also the text can't be copied and pasted into a translation app.

Grab is only in Thai language, useless for me. Foodpanda is fine, also Lazypanda for authentic US-style Chinese food in the proper wax cartons, looks not cheap but portions are definitely for 2-3 persons.

My nan would have been a shoe-in as a Thai law-maker. She always told me: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".

I understand that it doesn't answer the question, but I changed from a sand filter to a cartridge filter a couple of years ago. Easy to clean, water is always clear, and there's really no need to replace the paper filter every year so long your pool doesn't get very heavy use.

Pet dogs have traditionally been fed on human food waste. That includes an amount of veg. They don't just 'puke it up'. I agree a meat diet (mostly uncooked for dogs in good health) is best. Maybe you're thinking of when they deliberately eat grass to void their stomach.

UK and then 13 years in UAE. So you don't believe no-one would ever want to fire little old me? ????
