Rolling your own is an option. A bit time consuming and they stain your fingers but are cheaper than ready made and better tasting. All the paraphanalia and tobacco is available from Best Supermarket on 2nd Road and Foodland on Tai. Asian Gold is decent baccy.
Having said all that I currently buy ready made, L&M red. They are OK for me till I pack in ... again.
I used to buy L M till they went up try camel yellow at 60 baht.

Two witnesses required. As the witnesses must bring their copy of ID + copy of House Registration. Then take a photo out your house and inside the room together with the witness.
Trat have to take one witness with you and they must be present on home visit we have to supply 6 photos.

When I was first stationed here in the U.S. Army I was surprised at the way everyone asked me how much money I make. It's partly because we don't fit the usual ways Thais judge each other's relative status. The elder/younger, patron/client, boss/worker, parent/child relation is of first importance in Thai culture. Since farang are unlikely to have any of the achievements Thais use in their judging, like knowledge of village traditions, attendance at the right schools, family status, etc., they usually grant us fairly high social status until/unless we show we don't deserve it. If you've been here 15 years and haven't gotten used to people asking how much you make I have to figure you don't meet many people, or else you enjoy offending them.
Here we go again another poster offending and making assumptions (yanks judging) about me I first started coming here in the early 80s and never recall ANYONE asking me, maybe you SEEK high status but i do not, i consider to be well respected by the locals, invited to weddings, funerals, birthday parties, school and temple do's, by rich and poor alike, no one asks me how much i earn, my respect is earnt by my deeds and actions. ????you can enjoy offending me but i really don't give a <deleted>

Also, chances are who would know what you're doing, if you have a big property and high fence where no one can see inside?
Waiting for the wife to make a high fence and pay for it, i don't understand her problem with that, it's only 160 mtrs, I paid for the spade.

Black dogs are preferred when eaten as I've been told they taste better.

I think this video clearly illustrates the reason why there are more daily average traffic deaths than the total covid19 deaths in this country.
Renewed my car D L yesterday and sat through 1 hr. of this on vid, on leaving, within 10 min of driving 2 M/C had done similar maneuvers. Nothing will ever change here in my lifetime.

So the girl on the bike was clearly not paying attention and in the wrong, but why did the car driver make no attempt at all to move across or brake to avoid the collision?
Daft question I guess - this is Thailand, BLDM - Bikers Lives Don't Matter.
There was a blue pick up coming on the left side of the car, for the car to move over could have caused a bigger crash.

Do you use new ping pong balls or the ones from the bar?
They could give off a worst smell.

Does your *metal thing* look like this, they work as a p trap, if not and is just a flat grid without the top hat, then this could well be the prob.

Not really it depends on your life style, i have no rent to pay, don't go to bars/or very rarely (when they were open) we eat and drink at home, or go to friends or they come to us, my wife works, gathers *free* food from our land, we have fruit trees, I make western food, I could easily live on less. My utilities cost me 2000 a month the rest is for booze, food and a tank of fuel once a month. My point was after giving immigration what they ask for, they still want to pry into my private life and then come tramping through my house with their shoes on, make us pose on the bed and take the same photos all over our house which they have already been given, the same officers every year. I find it an intrusion but i DO keep calm even though i am treated like a criminal when i know that really it is them, rant over. Off to buy my 2 beers for tonight and settle down to a good film.????

The court and the BIB don't get the money, so they made nothing themselves.
I was under the impression cops get a % of fines, or does that only apply to on the spot fines ?

So she was tailgating, with a passenger, charge her for putting peoples life in danger, driving without due care and attention, dangerous driving and threatening behavior. with her rage she should not be employed as a driver of anything.

Yeh only lived 15 yrs and always used the same I.O. The one interrogating my wife was the one of 4 who came 2 yrs ago 11am stinking of booze and trying to put his arm around me in that awful drunken manner, last year only 2 turned up and when they phoned told my wife he was not drunk today. I like to sail across the wind with maximin heeling to give the speed and adrenalin rush, as opposed to just leaning over on the sofa.

Marriage money in the bank; Applied on 17th so now takes 45 min longer, while i sat and watched as she took the 12 photos 2 copies of the required 6, slowly cut each photo from my A4 with scissors applied glue to each and stuck them on their own pre-printed A4s above Each photo is printed Name.............. and at the bottom of A4 sign....................... it was like watching play school. One officer took my wife and witness to another table, and was talking to/interrogating them for 30 min+ my wife came over and told me ' he wants to know how much money you have every month' ! my blood pressure rose at this, 'tell him i have money in the bank so it is not his business' after 'what you tell him' 'you get Nid noi '
in hindsight should have said more than him. as usual left me feeling like some criminal again. got the call yesterday they phoned, house call 23rd rinse and repeat, hope the dog will snap at their ankles again. GOOD GIRL. told the wife not to feed her until they leave
