I bought a small steam based machine, worked quite nicely but I forgot to check one point before purchase 'Does it shut off automatically when the cup is full?' And the answer is NO, I have to watch and manually stop the process when my cup is near full.

Cut and paste from Centrelink website follows: "To call Centrelink from Thailand, you can use the international free call number 001 800 611 4136 or dial +61 3 6222 3455 (Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time). " Here's a more detailed breakdown: International Free Call Number: 001 800 611 4136 Alternative Number: +61 3 6222 3455 I've used the free call number above ( 001 800 611 4136) several times, always answered quickly. I seem to remember I changed the 001 to 009 to get out of Thailand. -

I can't answer your question. I've called several time when I've realized I needed an answer, always answered quickly an always received clear answer. Perhaps you should try again. -
Why is All the Hate Towards Russia and Not China?
scorecard replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
"Chinese are followers not leaders". That's a big statement to make and I don't agree with your statement. Don't judge by comparison to trump or to America or to putin or to netanyahu. China has it's ways of analyzing / doing things and good for them. China doesn't have to fit your definitions. -
Bob might post photos of the peckers of his numerous ladyboys. I guess there's a market for that.

Australian Aged Pension
scorecard replied to VOICEOVER's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Just remembered an item which is often confused, the 2 year period starts from the day you re-entered Australia, NOT from the day you applied for the OAP, and NOT from the day it was approved. I guess you're aware that you can do trips abroad during the 2 years and unless the trips are very extended in time the accumulation of the 2 years is not interrupted by the time out of Oz. But note, after your OAP is approved your OAP payments stop for the period your outside of Oz but automatically recommence from the day you re-entered Oz. Sorry I'm repeating but don't hesitate to use the toll free number from Thailand. There's no limit on how many time you can call them or on total time of phone calls. -

Some points I can share some details , perhaps you know these items already: - You must be physically in Australia to get a CRN (Centrelink Reference Number), unless you already have one. - You must be physically in Australia the day you lodge your application for the OAP (Note: You can lodge your OAP application at a C'Link office (that's what I did and they were very thorough, helpful and polite. Or you can lodge your OPA application by email or by post, C.Link will check the always live immigration records to establish your location at the date / time you lodge the application). - At same CLink visit you can prove your identity: passport, birth certificate, Thai plastic drivers license with embedded photo and your full name in English, Plus one other plastic ID card with photo embedded. - I was very lucky, my OAP was approved 16 days after I lodged the OAP application at the local C'Link office. There's a toll free tel number from Thailand to C'Link in Australia. 0018006114136 or could be 0018006114136. I've used this number many times, always answered quickly, good listeners, clear focused answers every time. They don't bite but as always don't reveal more personal info than needed. Note that all calls to C'link are recorded and if needed they do go back to earlier calls if needed. Can I suggest, make a list of questions and give them a call to get clear answers direct from C.Link Good luck. -
Aware of all of that. My question is really whether there are limits on how many kms they will travel outside of Bkk? E.g. Phaya Thai to Chonburi City?

Can I book a trip from Phaya Thai Bangkok to Chonburi City? (Tried looking for telephone number but no luck.)

Thai Pilots Eye CAAT for Job Assurance Amid Foreign Pilot Woes
scorecard replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Two way street? Thai pilots want foreign pilots banned from flying domestic in Thailand. Be careful guys, another country might create the same / opposite ban preventing Thai pilots from working in other countries. Seems to me there would be quite a few Thai pilots looking for employment opportunities abroad to add to their resume towards flying internationally. -

Why is All the Hate Towards Russia and Not China?
scorecard replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
Just two examples (only two). Without my approval a property agent in Pattaya moved a Russian family into my luxury house on Jomtien beach. They trashed the house, paid part rent only, very late, and several times the police were called because of violence. Brit buddy had a luxury house same village. He accepted the prospective Russian tenant because they accepted a high rental agreement but soon discovered they never paid the rent and were harassing the neighbors who were complaining about very loud music all night and loud motorcycles coming and going all night. Police came twice and told them to pay the rent and stop the noise. They ignored the police. They were then deported. -

Why is All the Hate Towards Russia and Not China?

So how does that statement fit with: - 'share the wealth' - 'Share costs, especially with items like health care' - 'Share costs, especially like good quality education for all' - 'Support equal opportunity' - 'support each the towards a good quality of life / good nutrition for all' -

To the OP. I'm not interested in your health / health improvements / health downturns etc., and not interested in a morning / afternoon health report. -

Why is All the Hate Towards Russia and Not China?
scorecard replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
Same... been to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzen, and several other big / medium size Chinese cities many times on organizational projects from 1 week to 3 months. Mostly stayed at 4 star hotels (my choice), lobby / concierge staff always very keen to help, always plenty of English. Never once had any reason to be concerned about safety / security 24/7. Many times local folks (mid ages / high school kids) asked politely, in full English, if I needed any help. Taxi drivers always helpful (often with instant contact to their office). Plenty of polite help at railway stations, in coffee shops etc. (mostly speaking good English.) Very clean streets etc. Good food everywhere...
