   Its about the kids being equal and the rich kids not wearing expensive designer clothes and the poor kids not wearing rags .

    

  

Not in Thailand. They occasionally have casual dress days without the school system collapsing on those days. If anything it made my students more relaxed and forthcoming.

it's to do with a level playing field, the same in many countries, it stops the creation of division between those who have and those who have not. education is equal for all so all should follow the rules.

 

teachers being allowed to cut a student's hair is another matter.

Do you get the army going to schools and getting  children to chant how they must obey and the 7 ways to be Thai . According to the military  

You can make a really thin tile adhesive mixture. Pour it over the loose cracks and tap the tile with a rubber mallet.  The adhesive should get into the cracks and fix the problem. 

Welcome to bike riding in Thailand. Graphic content be warned

Nor would a helmet. 

She was wearing a helmet. it kept her intact but did nor prevent her receiving enough pressure to be instantly fatal. She looked normal apart from a little blood from her ears. They stole her gold also. Interestingly this happened in my first year of living here. Her funeral  was something  else where I had to actually set fire to her and pick through her ashes the next day to collect the pieces of unburned bone which were placed in a family tomb .  In the UK death is very sanitized unlike here.

In some countries  riding with a helmet is a choice not a law. Personally I always wear one , although it did not save my Thai GF in 2006 when a small truck ran over her head ????

After 15 years here I eat mainly thai food when out but rarely eat it at home. I bake and cook what I desire when home and use food panda once a week for something different   given the choice it would be Indian and Italian for me. Today I'll have a salad with a few chips (fries to the colonials) and some extra mature cheddar. I had tomatoes a little grated cheddar with a piece of brown toast for breakfast. Maybe something light in the evening. That maintains my 114kg ????

I weigh more than that and get insurance easily. My current  insurance is with Allianz. 

Nothing to do with ups ask to provide customs paperwork. Provide pics of the specs and state it's for personal use or order from aliexpress for $15 

The US recognizes pre nups where as the UK , for example, does not. Perhaps this is the way to go, however, why get married if you already don't  trust her. 

You can chip the existing cement back 50-100mm get fresh cement and add waterproofing to the cement and paint it on the existing cement. I sealed my balcony this way. There are many products to do this.

U need link ultra cat 6 .

The trick is to get a girl 1/2 the age of your wife. She won't be nagging, she only wants money. ???? 

20+ years with the wife plus I got a bad back ????

Yup I bought a new Isuzu mux 3.0 . I got 180, 000 cash discount. I could have got 200k on a Ford or Pajero sport, 150k on Nissan Terra. But each of the others had things that were not to my liking. There are discounts to be had. Car dealers are like women the worst thing they can say is no. ???? get what you want or walk ????

Im using MX with debian base/Linux....didnt know of any VPN either....hence I had HOXX installed as well

 

Had a good run with Mint as well...

Open vpn is there but you need to install a client. Used to be something like nordvpn c uk 456 from terminal. 

If there is a foodland you can ask at the help kiosk as that is where they keep rolling tobacco here in Bangkok.

They tried  it with me this year. It stopped when it became clear they were not for commercial use 

Searching suggests household items are subject to tax. Clothes,  books , shoes are ok if over six months old lol. I bought stuff on the plane easy enough but shipping may be problematic. 

Importing from where? Are they 220v?

No its not      using one to access things  deemed "illegal"  in Thailand is illegal but the VPN it's self is not illegal.

I thought they were because years ago they blocked a load of free vpn's and vpn's would make the firewall project redundant.

Had KingIPTV until a couple of weeks ago when they were closed down under investigation for illegal operation by the Department of Special Investigations of the RTP. Paid 350฿ pm. Perhaps only that particular re-streamer was shut-down but, since the whole KingIPTV website is 'Unavailable' now, I suspect it's shut completely.

 

The local bloke selling us the service lost about 200,000฿ on this, money he could ill-afford. He found us a new service - FWIPTV - after a few days and offered it for a 1 month free trial, which we took up and will probably continue with. Again, 350฿ pm. As Scouse123 says about his local man, our man also seems to be a decent bloke and, on top of that, my wife knows all his family, feels sorry for him and wants to 'help' him :-). I'm OK with that - FWIPTV seems fine and gives everything we want; I'm not a big TV lover.

We are not talking about the Thai version which turned into a bit of a joke. Try this
