The Highway is flooded again in two areas in the Wiang Pa Pao Valley - both near the Town of Pa Ngio. One lane is open at the first spot (about 1 km NE of the Town); intermittently closed/one lane a bit closer to Wiang Pa Pao. The Pa Ngio reservoir has overflowed it banks taking a part of the walls of the reservoir with it.

Don't know about any carcanoma but have had a carcinoma removed several years ago by Dr. Vachiraporn at the RAM. She monitored the site for several years thereafter.

Huh? Guess you don't know anything about mobiles in Thailand. The A73 retails for 16000+++

"Cheap phone"? Oh my. The class action is already proceeding. It is in regard to all Samsung OLED-screened (Super AMOLED in Samsung-speak) mobiles from the Fold 6 on down to the A14, but not the LCD/LED-screen mobiles.

We purchased two A73 5G mobiles 27 months ago. Two weeks ago, the day after a major update, my wife's developed a bright vertical green line. Four days later, mine did the same (except the line is pink). We immediately contacted the shop (authorized dealer) where we bought them. They contacted Samsung and were apparently told Samsung would NOT support those phones anymore and would NOT provide a remedy for the problem. Now, I recall reading something in the Post about a class action suit against Samsung about this issue. Does anyone have the same issue? Anyone know about the class action suit (and perhaps how to join it)?

The book has been publicly available for over 2 years. Why the hubbub now?

"""Recommend a visit to the Kham Thien Market""" 18.806308° 98.997263° , just South of Lotus's Kham Thien (they spell it Kham Thiang...)

Recommend a visit to the Kham Thien Market, MANY of the shopkeepers speak multiple languages. Discuss your specific needs and desires with them. They will be happy to point you in the right direction. We purchased 8 baby Asian Evergreens there about 15 years ago. Had to chop MANY down as they grew too fast and large. Our tamarind tree is now about 8 meters high and last year produced over 20 kilos of fruit (plus great shade all year round!).

Another demonstration of who the real terrorists are in the middle east.

KhunLA - Sigh. Sad but probably true. This WAS at one time or other a forum for expats actually LIVING in Thailand.

6 rai grassed? A riding lawn mower is insufficient. I surmise you will need a small tractor with a mower attachment.

Come on people... we are in Thailand. Who gives a flying f____ about who is right or wrong in US politics!

Mae Sai's lower market areas under water today. Again. Fourth time this season. Another 48 hours of heavy rain the the forecast.

There seems to be a lot of (idiotic, intentional) "confusion” about the red box program. We have had the service for several months now and it has led to a major improvement in the problem that made us go that route in the first place. It is not a “bribe” for police to do their job. It is a small contribution to request the Police to do something that is far above and beyond their normal duties. I can only assume that the peeps here posting degrading comments are NOT actually in nor live in Thailand so have little or no knowledge of policing practices in Thailand. We pay 1,000 B /month and the peace of mind it provides is worth many times that amount. As the Officer (whose private number we received on day one) explained when – after 8 calls for assistance within 10 days – the red box hanging on your gate alone is a strong incentive for the unwanted guests to move elsewhere. There daily visits (usually at dusk, with flashlight) also enforce that image. Since the box was hung on our gate, the number of unwanted, undesired instances has dropped to zero. My purpose in posting the original question was are there other people taking advantage of this service? And it is that. If not, and if the circumstances warrant it, consider it.

It is. My question was not "what do you THINK it is", but rather if you KNOW something about the program.

From the responses, here, there seem still to be some passionate smokers in this forum. I personally have no axe to grind with them just as long as they do not invade my space with their disgusting and unsanitary practices. Perhaps an outright ban is unlikely to occur - perhaps the right idea would be just to tax them out of existence. The Australian and NZ examples might be able to teach the Thai authorities a thing or two. Many years ago in a land far far away (Canada) authorities came up with a novel concept. The cheap health care enjoyed by citizens should depend on the role of the individual. Smokers would not be covered for smoking-related conditions. Although it didn't pass into law, it did make a lot of people think. For them that cares: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_price_rankings?itemId=17

Does anyone have experience with Thailand's Royal Thai Police red box program?

Not strong enough. A total ban would be appropriate, and it is time for that to happen.

Ask locally in your and surrounding villages. Every area seems to have an eves troughing specialist.

Just a bit of the topic... severe flooding in Mai Sai and surrounding areas. We were there on Tuesday and it was a mess down in the lower market area. Covered well in the Post and some other new sources online. Darn little about it here.

Seems a lot of people confuse what is actually legal with what is actually done. Red plates are ONLY useable within the same Chiang Wat. Red plated cars CANNOT we driven at night. Those are the actually law. What is done is considerably different.

Toshiba ND-300C combination microwave, convection over, superheated steam cooker, and grill (inside the oven, NOT exterior. Have had it for 4 years and very pleased. All cooking options work well and the unit is NOT expensive. It's only 19" wide and 16" deep. We bought ours at Siam in CM.

Dear chickenperson... Mice.

Lotus's at Kham Them Market. A small stall just at the parking lot entrance. VERY reasonable prices.
