Saw one guy wearing a 1950's UK fireman's helmet once.

They do get good wages if they work. A policeman gets 95% of the fines he issues on top of his basic pay. The remaining 5% the government has. The 95% is pooled with all officer operating in rear, off operation, duties back at the station. The opportunity is there if they get off their asses to rake the dosh in but ............ I put it down to laziness.

Same applies to a motorcycle sidecars. Hang on they are banned.

You cut it to accommodate the strength you require. Simple innit? Hang on, but not in your case.

It's just another law for the RTP to use in their armoury to obtain money.

Can you imagine trying to pull that one in a developed country? There is always a choice.

Catapults and glass marbles are everywhere for sale. The elastic on Thai catapults is tosh. I changed mine to round rubber, length 3 meters, spare tire, slingshot 6 mm from Lazada. Marbles https://shopee.co.th/10-Pcs-Marbles-16mm-glass-marbles-Knicker-glass-balls-decoration-i.110871266.1815713691

You have to remember that in Thailand dogs are first and foremost a burglar alarm, day and night. I personally think Thais, as a whole, have no compassion for the wellbeing of dogs. Easy enough to get another one.

There's a name for that. cynophilist

A rifle is rather strong way of dealing with soi dogs. I use a catapult with glass marbles when out cycling . Hit them once and they don't forget.

Obviously they don't understand the power of nature. You can't beat it but you can work with it.

I'd imagine it's IO officers discretion on how he/she sees the situation?

The thing was that my wife was never going to handle the gun in the event of an intruder returning. The Intentions were that I, ex military, was going to use it. My wife would take responsibility and admit she used it on the intruder. This was all in agreement with the policeman who supplied the gun. He said in the event of s*** happening all would be sorted after. I know that sounds a bit dramatic but thankfully s*** never happened and my wife calmed down..

But this is Thailand.

I've been married for 16 years and approx. 3 years ago Buriram IO asked my wife if she'd ever submitted a TM30. She replied no and they took 500 Baht off of her, no receipt. The following year they stapled in the back page of my passport 'Receipt of Notification'. I assume all farangs now have the same thing in their passports if a TM30 has been submitted by a property owner?

But surely it still isn't up to the farang to show proof of a TM30? And how would a, out in the bush, boarding house owner know immigration laws? As far as I'm concerned it's all a load of tosh.

Did they get a receipt? No receipt no pay. Dunno about anyone else but I'm confused with the above.

At that size you'd be really struggling due to the weight of the frames etc. Just to lift and fit a 240x110 would take 3 men or more just to lift it off the ground. Look at the size again Having done it myself I don't believe you have windows as big as 320cm. The sheer weight of the frame would cause distortion on fitting.

So your windows are bigger than 240x110 cm.? Amazing.

And what size are you talking? Mine are 240x110 cm. The fittings and instructions etc come with the windows.

Neither was I.

Tell that to the cop who it belongs to. No second thought needed.

We've been burgled twice over the years. One time was when we were in bed asleep and he woke the wife who then woke me. My wife, after that, was a gibbering wreck. She sort help from a local policeman friend who gave her a 9mm automatic pistol for security until we could have security grills fitted.

Not DiY orientated are we? You get the nearest size to the window you want to replace. If the new window is bigger than the old one you chase out the masonry to accommodate it. If the new window is smaller than the old window you will have to infill the gaps. It's not rocket science. More like common sense. I replaced 9 windows in all and a new double sliding door.

Go to Homepro and buy their uPVC windows. Take your time and fit them yourself. No problems.
