HP, been there done that with a lappie and printer, never again. A Brother wifi laser printer works for me as I only ever need documents/copies.

She could be my wife's twin. Met Mrs McT at the Aussie bar in Patong back in '02 and we married in '03. I got some dirty looks those 1st few years, especially back in Sydney for a visit with the inlaws, but it's ok now that she's 35, hardly anyone notices the 30 year gap. And yeah, she's been a faithful and devoted wife.

Plucking figures out of thin air and attributing revenue generated by TAT. ???? Dreamers! Revenue from Thai's will flow to Thai's and only a few 100,000 international visitors may, just may, have come here specifically for Songkran. They will likely only do so the once.

Sarin Coffee shop in Ubon Ratchathani has been consistently excellent over the 12 years I have visited. Located on a main road west of the Police HQ and Hospital, Sarin is located at the rear of the Shell servo. Nice cakes and sandwiches + fast wifi in aircon comfort.

CM is full of whingers an whiners. About time you all grew some more brain cells and thought about the season, wind patterns and why a hot dry climate produces dust and bush fires. You want smoke, go live in Australia during bush fire season. Only difference here is that much of the smoke is blown across from India or Burma and settles among our valleys all across the North and into Laos and Vietnam. Dust is stirred up by human activity and any city traffic pollution exacerbates poor local conditions. It's normal in a dry climate. Get used to it or move.

The bottom set of wheels can be adjusted to raise the door. Best idea is to remove the door from the frame and check both wheels are undamaged and fully serviceable. If damaged you can purchase replacements from most aluminium door/window fabricators or major hardware retailers.
