Can someone who knows more clarify that these fires are being set solely so people can pick some kind of forest mushroom that only grows after the fires? Or is it for crop production?

Mushrooms around our area the reason they burn.  Chiang Mai trying for top world spot AQI listing.

Alcohol can make people aggressive (unlike puff) so far more likely he'd been on the sauce..... 🙂 

Be alcohol more likely than weed. Weed he would more likely want to hug the dog. 😄

not sure any restaurant can claim food is "allergen-free" because people can be allergic to just about anything.

 

if someone has a specific allergy, isn't it their responsibility to be cautious? 

 

Agree, if I had a food allergy which was  life threatening extra caution would be important. 

I would not trust what anyone told me about purchased meals.

Best idea is buy your own products and prepare yourself. 

RIP lady and condolences to husband and family.

There was no brake failure for sure... The bus have stopped several times already with no problems, only when there is an accident it is brake failure, maybe because they are speeding and think that when they stop suddenly they stand still right away. Never heard of braking distance. or people are too tired and react different than when they had enough rest and sleep. Anyway RIP to the deceased and good recovery for the injured. It is always a roulette to drive with a person you hired

Yep blame anything except the person responsible. 

Your 73 go for it you haven't got long left. If you go to Pattaya get a room on bottom floor.

😄

Easy question today.  No.

She not stupid so stupid people are not part of her life.

I thing she learn from a few years living in Australia. Just tell stupid people to P O.

Absolutely BBS.. no justification for such a law.. If the whole purpose is to prevent crime/DUI - then the best time to ban alcohol sales is from 7pm to 0400 am based on the statistics of crime and DUI at this time.. Total hypocrisy. 

Stupid is what stupid is

Thansk everyone, difficult for someone unfamiliar to tell, but I would say if there is a mix of oil and coolant then  it's in the coolant and the engine oil seems okay - but that could be because it changed recently? on the coolant could that be I just didn't dilute it correctly last time I filled it? 

 

Anyway, I'll find a new garage and see what they say.. 

Head gasket or cracked head 

Sorry, I didn't mean to shoot him was an accident. I thought it a toy gun.

How big an issue is coolant mixing with oil, garage has just sent me an itemized bill estimate that looks like it came from a stay at a tier 1 hospital, estimated around 60k with 35k deposit. 

It seems okay to drive, but when replacing the oil locally told the young guy to give it a little check for leaks as some sticky fluid on driveway usually, they just do oil, tires and brakes usually, but took a look and he thinks that that head gasket cover was leaking and that coolant was mixing with oil. Turns out the young lad was correct I think, and a week later another garage knocked down a tree to print me an itemized estimate..  

Tempted to just keep as a run around, and if it dies, then literally bin it, as long as won't explode on me until i run it to the ground..   They are only guaranteeing the work for 6 months and with other exclusions so really at point probably more prudent and quickly cheaper to get a new yaris or something similar

 

 

Cheap solution. Chem-i-weld. Follow instructions. After a few days change coolant and oil. I had a 10 taxis in Australia and used many times. Always worked unless very serious like water pouring out exhaust. Minor problems always lasted st least 10,000kms.  Head gasket replacement here shouldn't be expensive anything over 5000bht look for different mechanic. Get your Thai wife take car or they see farang $. Forget dealerships unless you like part your money quickly.

There was a cracking little Thai restaurant in soi21, off soi Buakhao in Pattaya, that sold packs muffins and cookies at 100 Baht each.

 

 

Sadly, the owner has closed up and returned Chiang Mai.

 

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a similar edibles shop.

Easy just make your own, much better quality.

Big money Chinese scammers abound in Thailand. Recent arrests are the tip of the iceberg. Officials made it easier for  the money men behind the scams as they  can import  crooked employees visa free. 

An soon without a visa. Fly in and out and run scams
