What's the old saying.....Once a Banana Republic, always a Banana Republic!!!

Democracy is a system of government in which state power is vested in the people or the general population of a state. Thailand, obviously not.....

Thanks for the recommendations! I ended up using a flame torch tip cleaner to unclog and clean the stove burner jets. It now works perfectly! Might be a good tool to have in your toolbox if you have any gas appliances.

I try not to do it too often but periodically I need to withdraw some cash from an ATM from my US account. I never get an exchange rate anywhere near the current rate published online. Even when the ATM offers a guaranteed rate as an option, the rates shown are lower than current and when the withdrawal shows up on my account it's a lower rate. I'm sure if my US bank (BOA) had ATM's here in Phuket it might help. Unfortunately, they do not! Can anyone recommend which Thai bank ATM offers the best exchange rate? Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a Gas Stove Top Repair/Service provider? I'm in Phuket Town and have an Electrolux Gas Stove Top. Normally I would try to use the local Electrolux service reps but have looked them up online and the reviews of their operation are consistantly poor. So I'm looking for an alternative. Thanks for any input you can provide!

Maybe not all are computer savvy! The "transition process" only asked me to enter a new password. Nothing else. It worked perfectly. Seems to be not a problem!!

Are we surprised? More houses, hotels, apartments, shopping centers, etc, etc. And no infrastucture improvement to support them. It's a joke. Who are the buffoons who run this show???

Good morning. Can anyone recommend a professional, reliable plumber to do some work at my home which is in the proximity of Old Town Phuket? Not major issues, leaking faucets, drain replacement, etc. I've gotten too old for crawling around under the counter tops. Don't have the patience to <deleted> with it anymore! Any good recommendations would be appreciated! Cheers - Ron

Yeah, right. It takes two six packs to do the weeding!!

Thanks, but that was done during the original installation and now the plants and weeds are growing thru it. So I'm looking for some sort of solution short of replacing the entire garden! Cheers, Ron

Good morning. Does anyone have any recommendation on what I can spray onto my rock garden to inhibit plant and weed growth? I'm getting tired of weeding it every couple of months!! Thanks for any suggestions. Cheers, Ron

Good morning. Am looking for a "Mom and Pop" Sheet Metal Shop in Phuket. I need a piece of flashing fabricated to fit where my walkway roof butts up to the facia board on my carport. Preferably somewhere in Old Town Phuket close to my house. Thanks for any recommendations! Cheers, Ron

Entering the departure lounge at the airport!

Well said. These fools deserve what they get. Me, after 20 years, I'm looking for the next location.
