  1. It really depends on what you enjoy and what you can afford. The Nimmenhaimen area is nice, but it's more expensive and the traffic can be a nightmare in the early evening. If you want night life you'll want to be closer to the city center. If you prefer the countryside then the sky is the limit. Planes fly right over the Hang Dong road area, but the homes are cheap to rent. I wouldn't buy anywhere in Thailand because you an never own the land.

    ..i thought you liked the bumper to bumper stuff!

  2. “I met Dennis after joining an internet dating service for a laugh. An actress friend had joined the site, but wanted to stop. So I agreed that she could put my photograph up instead.

    When you read cr@p like that, you know the whole story is cr@p.

    ..exactly..she set herself up for all that she got..fancy following it through and airing her dirty laundry with all and sundry..no style..lo so not hi so som nam nah

  3. Since, in this area, easily recovered gold, as in particle size big enough to crush (if tiny grains are in rock) or to use a gold pan or sluice box (gravity separation) has disappeared about 1200 years ago, and since you talk about geophysical surveys, then I must guess that either Induced polarity, gravimetry, or another type of geophysical survey has been done that shows a rock type similar to a known gold bearing strata.

    I'm guessing that you would likely have to drill with either a diamond core drill, or a reverse circulation (which crushes the rock, and samples are analyzed sequentially). The drilled "core" or reverse circulation samples can be read with a scintillometer, but ultimately a lab does either atomic absorption, or fire assay or the samples. In short, this is a very time consuming and very expensive project.

    Even thirty years ago there had to be greater than 1.5 grams of gold per tonne of rock, but as the price has risen, and using (if possible) cyanide (which is not as bad as it sounds) ore that carries as low as 0.5g/au/tonne can be recovered, but there are so many variables.

    As slapout said, just buying a gold pan, digging a hole, and panning will show if there are grains of gold, even as small as 1/000 of a inch.

    If a single nugget was ever found that was detectable on a metal detector, it would have, in the past, sparked a gold rush overnight. So finding nuggets is not likely.

    Try to find out what kind of geophysical survey was done, what the results were and can you see the data-- and proceed from there.

    Good luck, and maybe there's a 20kg chunk waiting under that auger...

    thanks for the replies guys

    it was a airbourne geo survey showing gold veins close by,checkout kingsgate gold mine ,there are some very rich ex farmers who got bought out for 300 thosand a rai,i am hoping the same for me,and yes there is a lot of wheeling and dealing going on buy corrupt local officials

    ..this link puts it all in a nutshell..

  4. This is a longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae, in Thai ด้วงหนวด) of genus Aristobia. Unfortunately the picture is not very clear, so there are two possibilities: Aristobia freyeni and Aristobia horridula. These two species are very similar to each other, they differ on how many clusters of black hairs are on the elytra, and this cannot be clearly seen on your picture. Aristobia freyeni is not found very often, as far as I can see it is known only from Thailand and peninsular Malaysia, its Thai name would be ด้วงหนวดปมแดงบ้านใต้, Aristobia horridula is found more often, it is known from India to Vietnam, its Thai name would be ด้วงหนวดปมสีตาลแดง.

    ..Hi Erwin..thanks for that..here is another pic I took of this beetle. ROD.

  5. Thanks for the replies so far.

    Any more?

    Thanks.

    New Valentinos..a few doors down from Kasikorn Bank in Thapae Road..former Ghurka..good guy and does good work in all fabrics. (He has quite a few handwritten feedbacks stuck on his shop front..(but be wary of the tuk-tuk sometimes parked outside who will try to talk you out of going in there).

  6. In my travels on the bicycle I have seen a good number of spent casings. Mostly small rounds.

    A few years back I found a few spent 5.56 shells on the Canal road.

    I think the noise cover of fireworks let some people think they can fire off a few rounds and nobody will be wiser.

    Odds are never that great of being hit by a stray but it does happen.

    Didn't a Canadian guy buy the farm a year or so ago on Chang Klan road?

    I think the Canadian took a direct hit sitting in back of a songtaew if I recall correctly. If that is what you are referring to.

    ..the deceased was in the back of a song taew heading east on San Kamphaeng Road..hit on downward trajectory of bullet..initially thought to be a sniper but later ruled out and put down to reckless discharge from estimated distance of 400 metres away.

    As mentioned previously in another thread, a young girl in Australia died under similar circumstances when as a pssaenger in the rear of a moving vehicle was struck in the neck by bullet entering through the rear quarter vent window. Police later found the culprit and site. FYO.

  7. How many Rambut 4 movies can one make in Thailand/:whistling:

    My answer is " 1 " , as the next one would be Rambut 5 >>>>>>

    Is it right ! ! Is that right ! ! ?? .. Do I win a prize ???? do I , do I Huh, huh

    :D

    ..it' a wonder you've got time for idle chit-chat, what with Thanks Giving Day coming up and all..get back in that kitchen and stuff them turkeys boy!

  8. Are you nuts? A gold bar would be ridiculously expensive, and who would want to drink there? The acoustics must be terrible!

  9. why is there a yellow plate on the front of his car? I thought they were for public transport vehicles?

    I noticed that too, I was wondering if due to the reflective paint on the plate and the camera flash, that it came out looking yellow instead of red.

    Reason for edit: clarification.

    ..play the video clip and you will see it is red (new vehicle awaiting registration..another offence ie driving it after dusk)..hmm gets worse and worse..from a simple case of clipping his mirror..due to his state of intoxication he probably didn't realise he clipped him..now a major incident seeing as he didn't stop.

  10. Found at my local Amphur Office the Boss Man/Lady appears to change a lot each have different rules even if the staff have been the same for the past 7 years

    I have a yellow book and when i move into my new house what do i do with my yellow book for the house i live now? can i have 2 yellow books ? Rob.

    ..just have it updated at the Amphur Office with your new address details..the book has many blank pages for this purpose.

  11. ..there's a really nice young Thai man who sells Tiger balm in WSM near Black Canyon and also magic gear in Night Bazaar on the road at the small laneway on the right side of McDonald's..he would be ecstatic to receive such items. He's about 25yrs, 176cms tall and very slim. A deserving young married guy.
