    Landlord cut tree, now house stiffling, how to remedy?

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    My wife has once put a passion fruit plant (1) in our garden. After a year or so the thing had already grown up to about 20 meters long. As it is a climbing plant you can guide it (with simple wires f.e.) in any direction you want it to grow. Beautiful and abundant flowers, leaves a bit like vine, fruit, if you are lucky, and you can even eat the saplings. Only thing is, it will attract insects like bees etc.(and butterflies) I think 3 or 4 of them would give you a good result within not too much time. And you could use the wires (or whatsoever) for the instant solution with the plastic stuff.

    Lizards / geckos

    One more about the sticky pads. Years ago I was living in Spain in quite a remote place. At some point I noticed that mice/rats started to be around. Too many ( You see 1 and you´ve got already 10 ) Started trapping them with "normal" neck-breaking traps but it was not all of a success. So I purchased a glue that is specially made for this (you put it on whatever kind of pad). And it really worked.....but when I saw the, still alive, rat stuck to the glue I could see the complete madness the poor animal sufferd, in it´s eyes. It was even like wet (from what so ever (not the glue), because I think rats can´t sweat) the fur twirled around.... so I killed it with a big spanner. These kind of traps just keep the animals until they die in agony. I swore to myself (was easy after seeing that) never ever use a trap like that again. You´d rather prefer to die in hellfire than wrapped up in this glue. So please do not use it, not for rats not for geckos not for anything else. There are many other ways. BTW the geckos were also present in Spain and I always liked them, so do I here in Thailand

    Bringing physical gold to Thailand

    in General Topics

    Posted

    I want to bring the gold as it is part of my assets. Don´t want to convert it into money and transfer. In Europe, were I´m from, there´s a limit of 10K (€) per person regarding cash. I was wondering if the same limits apply to gold. In the case of coins it should be as it is an instrument of payment. If I´m right?? But how about gold bars?

    Hi there

    purchased a 2nd hand Life Fitness GX rower (water) lately. For maintenance of the water, chloride tablets are required. The Thai distributor for LF is asking 900 Baht for one!!! tablet. Does anyone know a better place to buy or about alternatives from medical or swimming pool  or other sectors? Thanks

    Dear all,

    I purchased a used rowing machine ( home trainer ) in Phuket. The guy who sells it is too busy to pack and send it to Koh Phangan. Is there anyone who comes to either Koh Phangan (1st choice) or to Koh Samui with the car (Pickup) within the next week ?  10.08.18 to 17.08.18 or so. Paying for it on agreement.  Will give my phone number if someone answers
