  1. Lazada or Shopee sell 'Multi-cookers' or you might grab one at HomePro > (I have a similar model - fantastic!)
  2. Typical Thaiger trash news. AN should rise above copying from social media clickbait.
  3. You might have simply corrected the error, to read "reserve".
  4. Several underlying causes of road deaths often ignored are:- high powered vehicles in the hands of inexperienced drivers. EV's in particular will be a menace in the wrong hands with frightening acceleration and poor wet weather handling. New cars get quicker and quicker, alas drivers brains haven't kept pace. Phone use whilst driving is so prevalent yet perpetrators hide behind illegal all-round black tint. Even when not using a phone, night vision is dangerously reduced.
  5. 50 years of drunk driving has honed my senses and I've never had an accident. It's these young kids you gotta watch out for. Seriously though, yaba/meth/P/Ice or whatever combined with alcohol will only see a rise in deaths. Mainly (~75%) motorbike riders.
  6. "Sawan" appears to be unsuited for open waters of Phang Nga bay. She is narrow in the beam, high wooded and I daresay of fairly shallow draft and with a single engine. High windage, pax all topside on aft deck + poor seamanship would likely cause a high centre of gravity and capsize the vessel. An avoidable accident if Western maritime safety rules and regulations were in place and followed, even loosely.

    Go Wholesale

    GoWholesale. Makro meat is poor quality.

    Go Wholesale

    GoWholesale in Chiangmai is already competing with Makro .... BUT their meat and poultry is far superior, well priced too!
  9. Very true. Kwan's is 90% consistent with a moderate gravy-like consistency. The flavour of her stock is, IMHO, just perfect.
  10. Exactly. Despite El Nino, the Polar Vortex has collapsed to cause this spread of cold weather across the north.
  11. Anyone have a favourite rardna restaurant you'd like to share. Mine is Kwan's Kitchen on Canal Rd, Mae Hia. Always tasty and filled with quality veggies and meat: chicken, pork or prawns, it's the best I've had anywhere.
  12. Yes you can but it depends on what u want to store. eg: I have a platform upon which I keep spare tiles for floors and walls.
  13. AFAIK VFS Bangkok process the application and your new passport is issued in India. There is no reason for scrutiny by HM Govt of your visa and extension stamps.
  14. Trusses are spaced approx 1.5m or more apart and I find it easy to walk thru our ceiling, stepping from bottom chord to bottom chord. I purposely left several long lengths of steel to use as walkways or work platforms. It's far easier to move around than our other house with a heavy steel built-up roof.
  15. Damned if you do and damned if you don't - as a forum Admin and Mod (elsewhere) whilst I empathise with you it does come down to work-load on any given day. Invision software allows for a notification to be issued upon deletion BUT, this mechanism often leads to abuse or Q's of 'why'. Also, a thread or post may simply be hidden, pending approval.
  16. Approx 15 years ago the southern Lebanese gangs attempted an expansion into SEQld and QLD Police 'allowed' incumbent Bikie groups to force them out. Whether they've managed to infiltrate since then I have no idea but at least the older established gangs were manageable, to a point, back then. I worked with both QLD Police (professionally) and HA on occasions, the latter at fundraisers, and they could be quite amiable.
  17. Certain Kamthieng market vendors stock nothing but herb seedlings. There's also the MaeJo Uni agricultural fair on next weekend.
  18. Ideally you should research product supplied locally to others and gain some ideas. > What is your average monthly consumption in KWhours and roughly how much used by day -v - overnight. > What region are you in, city or rural? I installed a 10kw Deye hybrid system 4 months ago with 12 x 550w tier#1 panels and couldn't be happier. I purposely did not purchase a battery as I believe costs may plummet within 12 months and quality/safety is also improving.
  19. Not difficult via Torres Strait to PNG and Indonesia using a variety of private vessels, fishing boats and ferries. Bike gangs in Aus import and distribute millions of dollars worth of drugs and have plenty of cash for chartering aircraft and bribing officials in abovementioned countries. Death sentence should be reintroduced for these murdering scum.
  20. I prefer the colorbond extruded on site guttering complete with leaf guard if you have trees nearby. I have a 5m run on the pool cabana with no faults or leaks found in 4 years service. Compared with alternates it is unobtrusive and fast to have installed.
  21. You must be talking about a different system as SCG lightweight steel truss roofs do NOT require welding nor painting.
  22. Short answer, yes. It's not a hot-dipped galvanised steel product. The steel is electroplated against rust and all cuts are treated with spray paint. Trusses, by their design, carry the load which is evenly spread across the structure and are preferable to a built-up system IMO. Built-up roofs employ 'king posts' to support a ridge beam to which everything is then welded. One bad weld and the structure could fail under extreme weather loads (high wind) or an earthquake.
  23. Pre-engineered roof trusses are the way to go. Old fashioned built-up heavy steel roof structures are ... old hat. Pun intended. SCG supplied our steel trusses, erected on site in a day.
  24. Sadly, most Thaiger stories are run thru ChatGPT then have dumb clickbait titles added. Another cause, possibly the one which was omitted, is compressor stall, causes a load bang/backfire and flame before engine shutdown.
  25. Fish & Chips, smoked kippers, scotch eggs, bread'n butter pudding.
