Getting drugged enough to knock you out can take 24 hours untill you regain your senses and still very groggy

No way he was drugged and bouncing around like he had to much coffee..

Seriously who leaves their drugs behind after a crime?
Something fishy about Mr porky.. I sniff a professional insurance scammer

But he apparently is an Australian.
Perhaps he confused the notarial day at the US (aka American) embassy with the Australian embassy.
If he is Australian he needs to to make an appointment to do the statutory declaration to prove his income on or before the 7th of January at the Australian embassy.

Maybe it's my imagination but was there an outreach (don't know if that's even the correct term) for stat decs somewhere in BKK on the 20th? (Ozzie)

Actually it wasn't Prayuth who cleared Sukhumvit but the BMA and that has been going on for a few years now.
 
You don't need to feed me anything. I know there have been many threads over the years and have posted in a lot of them going back 15 years.

Been a long time since I read about two ladyboys mugging a mug back in his room. In the UK I'm thinking regular guys do their mugging right on the street. I always felt fairly safe while touring the UK, it is the tourist and expats I fear in Thailand.

Jewellery is for girls, doubt I've ever had anything wearable that cost more than 100 GBP.
Unless you count my smartphone which as about 200 quid.
What's the point of a watch, I stopped wearing one when I had my first mobile phone.
And it does the job better than any watch ever did.

"And this is NOT a topic about trust between me and my girlfriend"

Those words will come back to haunt you. Tens of thousands over the years have said there's is different.. But very few are

How is your lady educated. Where did she learn to speak English?

I wish you the very best of luck

Owning a condo with proof is nearly hassle free.
What I suggest is do what I did. Have a story that will help your case

Eg I want to open an account to transfer 10 million baht while I look for a condo to buy. Once that give you the account you don't need the imaginary transfer any more.

Be creative guys. Saying I just got off the plane as a tourist is not worth their time and effort

My bill came yesterday, iy was 2800 baht, about normal  I do not have air conditioning but have 3 old refrigerators and an old power sucking 42" plasma TV (385W) that is on about 16 hours/day.     Other than that it.s fans, lighting, UPS and two water pumps.

Ron wood says he is more mellow and open to more ideas.

Well here is an idea how about you stop touring. It's time

I saw a Deborah Harry years ago and she looked like my grand MA. Destroyed my memories of the hot goddess

Having a free and fair transparent election is only the first step on the road to democracy and Thailand has been there several times. For some reason Thai politicians never seem to get past that first step.
 
The coming election whenever it is held, will IMHO not be free, fair or transparent as the odds are stacked against it, if for no other reason the 250 incoming senators simply by being chosen by the current government have already loaded the scales to one side already.
 
Sadly for you, IMHO Prayuth has done little or nothing to curb corruption other than to re-direct it to his mates rather that the way it was before.

Been to phuket over the years. Been to Pattaya 50 times but usually jomtien because it is close to bangkok where I have my condo so it's a nice one month break

I don't know what phuket has that Pattaya has at a fraction of the cost.

Sure the beaches are much nicer but I go to koh larn where the beaches are much nicer than phuket

Cheap travel with 10 baht bus, resteraunts bars much cheaper and if your pecker still works there is an endless supply of beer bars and go go's and if your on a small budget there is coconuts bar

So what really is the attraction of phuket for expats?

Doubt it, he knocks me because I attend wine and cheese evenings. Envy. 

I could link it along with the beating you took on TV but won't embarrass you..

Wine n cheese? Bahahaha more like Leo and toasted sandwich at 7/11 [emoji23]

Lazada has plenty of affordable purifiers that have no problem dealing with smoke.

But that won't stop you you outdoors unless wearing a proper mask and not the ones the Thais wear

Only in Thailand, land of endless coups is the military seen as a political solution. That will put Thailand on par with those warlord African nations. If Thailand want to be developed country, coups must be outlawed and coup instigators punished for treason. The citizens must regain their rightful power and chose their leaders. 

Lobby staff usually have a master key,50/50?ok my friend.

Very nice looking woman???? She would look good from Chang Mai

Before you spend any money on repairs.
 
Have you emptied and switched off the fridge for 
a complete defrost and then restart?
Usually takes about 12 hours, with water leaking to
the floor from the defrosting, but worth a try.
 
Sometimes this rectifies temperature control
problems.

can also try using a 24 hour settable 240V timer, that shuts the fridge down for one or two times each day, to encourage some extra defrosting periods
I did same for a household deep freezer chest, that refused to cycle off, and easily maintained -27 deg C if had been left to itself

Thanks guy didn't know fridges could 15 plus years so will go with the fix it routine for now and see how it holds up, It's big fridge and about 12k to replace.

the vertical plastic drain pipe for that water ledge, can open block up, therefore no melted ice ever makes it down to the evaporator

it at first glance makes things appear that too much melting is overtaking things, but it is that blockage problem

 

I use a 60cm+ length panduit strap to run thru the pipe to clear it  so ong as it a long enough one to reach all the way, otherwise you also have to do it all in reverse - upwards from below; to get beyond the halfway point on the pipe

Where is it likely to be located?

But I still have the thermostat problem so going to need technicians
