Tesco is now all out of Bounce fabric softeners.

Anyone know of a Yamaha dealer that is willing to buy a used scooter as part of the purchase for a new one? I've been eyeing the this new Grand Filano and want one, but don't want to hassle with selling the old scooter.

Got my delivery today, but they didn't have what I wanted (Fresh Linen Scent) and instead delivered (Outdoor Fresh Scent)..... hmm. Will have to wait and see.

BTW: I ordered my items online and paid via credit card, the receipt was all in Thai,... the receipt did say that it the item I ordered was not available and replaced it with the next available item.

Somewhat disappointed that the online system did not have a live tracking system of their inventory.

To mikebell, yes those are for use in drying machines.... I used to line/air dry my laundry... but with my limited space I decided to use the "common" dryer. Long story short, I've very very picky with the smell/scent of softeners. I have yet to find one that is similar to Bounce.

After searches and searches on google, google manages to spit back to me a link to Tesco Online.... I just ordered my batch and I'm hoping they will deliver it on time!

Anyone know where in Bangkok I can buy these Bounce fabric softener sheets?

I used to buy them at the Villa on Narathiwas, but they don't have them anymore.

License of a route has nothing to do with this particular air crash.

Ultimately, the air traffic controller has the authority to allow take off or re-route landing of aircrafts. In this case, the tower gave permission to take off, so it's not the pilots fault. The pilot does not negotiate license routes, this is done by senior management.

Once in the air, the pilot has FULL authoritiy of the plane, requests can be made to the air traffic controller, but it's still the pilot that has full authority once in the air.

I have a feeling that the Indonesian transport ministrary is just trying to deflect the criticisms from their last Malaysian Air snaffu.

ATM's work 24/7 by multiple banks.

You can pretty much do everything online now, from transferring funds to 3rd party financial institutions either domestic or international. You can also pay bills online 24/7.

What banking services do you require that demands banks to stay open for no less than 3 or 4 consecutive days?

BTW, you can search online using any of your favorite search engines for "2015 Thailand Public Holidays BOT". BOT stands for Bank of Thailand, as some holidays that are public may not affect financial institutions. I hope this information can help you plan your 2015 financial year.

FYI: The government at anytime can declare public holidays that affect financial institutions, in which case, you may go and direct your query to the government. I believe the current government has a hotline number to take on questions and complaints.

I don't understand why they don't filter live feed before showing them to relatives.

Perhaps if the airlines spent that much money upgrading locators, there wouldn't be anything in it for them. Would it save the loss of the plane? Reduce insurance premiums? Save fuel 555? Reduce the payouts to families?

What would they gain? They are bottom line oriented.

A new law couldn't cover every country, could it?

How do you get it done?

You're right -- aviation is a bottom line industry - as are most. Safety is a cost to be taken away from potential profits. The thing everyone misses is the cost of insurance. If insurance companies are making big payouts the premiums will rise. If <whatever> safety technology convinces the insurance companies that their payouts will be reduced, then it'll happen. SAR operations are sometimes charged to the victims - same as you pay for the ambulance on the streets here. In the light of the massive search operations now underway for 2 missing aircraft -- that would be an interesting equation,,,,,,

Pilots are urged to make the straightest possible route, minimizing fuel burn. It's a form of reducing costs and maximizing profits. Had they been given the correct incentives, this plane may have landed just a bit delayed.

All this talk about locators / trackers / etc do not prevent air crashes. Crash prevention is a combination of training and minimizing risks, unfortunately, financial profits is the bottom line.

Keep an eye on the US news on the 1.1 trillion spending bill, if the bill passes it will buy some time.

I read in the news the other day that the Thai government is also going to do some spending to "help" the economy.

Old news, but the Thai auto industry isn't doing so good. I don't trust the data that I'm seeing/reading but I think the Thai auto industry has been in the down trend for the past year or so.

What's up with the dark tinted windows... why even bother having windows!

Theres a sign states side "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you !".. but .. heck.. both the truck driver and motorcycle driver probably have lifetime licenses... if any at all.

.... this is going to be a while... go and read a book while you wait for that download to finish.

so i called True yesterday to tell them about my slow internet experience.... they told me it's because of the Typhoon in Hong Kong. Hong Kong phooey , I thought.

Hope they get this fixed asap.

I've seem many many kindergartens and nurseries. The first thing I spot is the adult to child ratio, if it's not satisfactory... then hell no for my child.

There are no regulatory standards and inspections in this country, therefore it's all up to the parents to use the thing between their ears to determine the welfare of their own children.

Want safer environments for children?..... first... regulate the automotive window tinting. No reason for vans to be so heavily tinted. Malaysia has a law and enforces it to the letter, if they can do it, surely Thailand can do it too.

Don't understand why?.... ask and i'll be more than happy to explain.

I like the move "Mr. Baseball" with Tom Selleck, "Gung Ho" Michael Keaton is another one of my favorites.

stupid is as stupid does.

I bet to believe most will be trafficked, some will be "auctioned", "sold off",..... use what ever words you would like.

Thailand.... time to open your eyes and stop dreaming and start being responsible.

 

Just on British radio, "family in Australia denies any knowledge that a twin was born". Family in Australia clamining they are very distressed at this story.

Lawyer on right now blaming lack of proper contract in Thailand.

Same in Australia, they deny a twin,  53 yr old Aust man and 51 yr old Thai/Aust woman

 

This is getting more and more interesting like a drama soaps.

Back story is that the surrogate knew of the down syndrome child early on but declined to tell anyone for fear she would not get paid.

If the surrogate did in fact had two children and the hospital did NOT notify the agency or the parents, then we have a real problem with the health care system in Thailand.

DNA tests? !!

Wouldn't it be easier to just look at the hospital records to see how many babies this person had on that day?

If it's a legit hospital, then I'm sure it's easy for the proper authorized persons to obtain those informations.

Just this morning, on "rueng lao chao nee", the military is cracking down on scams in front of Wat Phra Kaew, so I'm willing to bet that they are going to get hard on hospitals/clinics/doctors doing some un-ethical ding dong.

And... cool it on not trusting Thais with money.  I can understand generalizing to a point of playing god... but this is getting ridiculous.

I sure hope the funds raised will actually be given to the child and not the adults... that said... i'm pretty sure the majority of the funds will disappear.

I hope selfless-Thai individuals will come to the rescue of this child.

I'm not sure which hospital they went to get these proceedures, but no doubt, "speaking from experience", the doctors will inform the patients of potential and actual health problems.  In this case, it seams that the agency withheld the information from the surrogate.

Another reason why the "agency" would not tell the surrogate is that operating may increase the risk of loosing both children.  At which point, the parent's may have also colluded to withhold information from the surrogate.  Just thinking about the scenarios make me sick to the stomach. 

If this is actually a real "agency", they should be held accountable in Australia and Thailand, procescuted to the fullest extent of laws from both countries.

I feel sad for the baby.  Because, the last thing the baby need to worry about is if she/he will have a loving home.

I feel sad for the baby.  Because, adult "intelligence" brought her/him to this point.

I feel sad for the baby.  Because, with so much "moral high horse" attitude, why didnt' the surrogate think he/she could be abbandoned.

I feel sad for the baby.  Because, money was the reason she/he was conceived.

I do hope that the Australian parents are being bombarded back home for being so selfish and irresponsible.  Hindsight being 20/20, if it was me, I would have brought all my children home.

I'm pretty sure these guys caused some havok before they messed with the wrong guy. Pretty obvious they are here for some "fun" and it seems they haven't learned their lessons.

I do hope the camera man sues them.
