  1. Call me old fashioned but I prefer these 17 baht/litre during Covid. ????
  2. On default, every "turn on" of computer it's a clean OS installation. Anything beyond is out of his current range of understanding.
  3. You can use it on any computer, but it will always create a fresh copy of the system. Meaning if you save any files or change any config you will always lose it when turn of/restart/change computer.
  4. If you're somebody who is currently in Thailand , is looking for a English teaching job, is willing to pay upfront for this opportunity, you should probably be looking to heading home. And this comes from somebody who lives here from age of 23.
  5. Currently I'm driving Toyota Hilux. And I'm playing with the idea when I finish reconstruction of house etc. that I would go from driving pickup truck to driving BMW sedan, like a 5 series. I admit it is mostly because it looks cool. Looking at a prices it costs about 2.5 - 3 x more than Toyota Hilux. No matter if new or second hand. Which will also manifest itself in yearly tax, insurance etc. So my question is if it really is worth it burning 3 back to back Hilux purchases for a single BMW?
  6. Happened to me too. Lady automatically put in my passport 30 days on arrival visa. And I had to tell her I had 6 months multi entry visa that I was granted back in my country before arriving. Lucky I checked on the spot what stamp and date she put and where. ????
  7. What do you use to bake it?
  8. I lived in Issan for 9+ years and I got used to many things. But I want pizza. What would I need? I looked at Lazada. They have 6000 Bath electric ovens. According to my search you can make sauce of raw tomatoes and then put rest rest in the freezer. You can get Mozzarella and Peperoni from Makro. But I'm going for a blue cheese. For base you would need flour and yeast? Dunno, help me.
  9. LOL, imagine all that stress of making thai builders make it all german and quality and stuff and drowning in 25M. Only to be 2 years after finishing desperate to sell it for 19M. ????
  10. Nice USA health care system you have going on over there. ???? When I broke my teeth I paid my private European dentist $30 to fix it. And I was really shocked by her audacity to give me bill at the end. As for my entire life every visit was free.
  11. You are mixing two things together - strength and being able to paint. Yes, concrete is hard enough to be worked on after 48 hours. But it is no dry. That is why you wait about 4 weeks before painting it, otherwise you are traping water inside, which will be trapped right under the paint, cause bubbles under paint and peeling and damage and less durability. There are some fresh concrete paints, that are special in a way, that they will let moisture out.
  12. When I was in Jomtien 2 months ago it was absolutely infested with Russians. To the point of Thai sellers of fruit having signs only in Russian and being able to speak prices in Russian. Bringing back some good old day Indian family packs or Asian group tours to sprinkle it a bit would not hurt.
  13. I'm seeing these Stihl chainsaws that go for 2000 Baht. Not only Lazada, but also Google etc. And they are claiming, that it is original. Not a Chinese copy. Do you think it is legit? I have problem believing it. Maybe it is something specially cheap made for SEA market? Dunno thou.
  14. How much did you pay? 45 Bath?
  15. Yesterday was dark outside and I couldn't take a photo. Here's the actual thing:
  16. I have house made of this type of bricks. On the outside wall I had a light that I had to move a few meters away. I used angle grinder to make a path for the wire. Which left hole in the wall looking like this. Now I don't know how to fix this hole. ???? 1. I assume I would use standard cement + sand. In a 1 : 3 ratio? 2. I saw local guys after fixing a hole waiting for about 1 - 3 hours. And than coming back with a sponge and block of polystyrene. And smoothing it out. I don't remember if they used both things at the same time. Or if it is interchangeable and you can use sponge or polystyrene. And what are all necessary steps. Can somebody with more knowledge comment on this.
  17. That stupid yellow overlay "subscribe to our newsletter" can't be closed on my Android tablet. Making the site unusable on that device, because all I see is that overlay and site is hidden under it. ????
  18. You have absolutely no idea how close I was 3 weeks ago to be here in the news. We were in Pattaya for Christmas. Beach, Jomtien, Soi 3. Wife says that her sisters children balloon was taken by sea, can I save it? f course, I'm in my low 30s and I run 5k every single day (except Sundays). Jump in the water, start swimming and swimming. And very soon I realize, that the balloon is taken to the open sea and I with it. After about 15 minutes of swimming I really had enough. Problem is I'm like 20% to the balloon and 80% to the beach. Adjusted to the current my situation is like 50%/50%. At this point I'm way beyond of point where jet skies are riding and I'm completely alone. I decide go for the balloon instead of fighting current on the way back. After what seems like infinity I finally reach the damn balloon. Put it under me and start kicking back. Not even trying to swim. Just kick with legs, rest on the balloon. This goes for a very long time. Till I finally reach the beach. Where I almost collapse, because muscles in my arm and legs are shaking like crazy. (like I said, I run 5k every day ... so I really put up a fight). After sitting for about 10 minutes I came back to myself and I start slowly walking back (I started at Soi 3 and ended up at Soi 16). At the arrival back I of course get a lot of "did you find mia noi jokes" from the family, because it was more than 1 hour since they last saw me. The very same afternoon a seller walks around with a set of beach toys, which contains things like little plastic shovel, bucket .... and that damn ballon. And screams 60 Bath, 60 Bath, 60 Bath ... . ???????? ????
  19. I think if I would use some type of color or sealer that would create "lacquer like" coat on the top it would be easy to clean and would not go inside grout. If something like that exists.
  20. I think maybe to use some grout sealer? Can you recommend something?
  21. Thanks, I didn't know this exists!
  22. Small pipe going into big pipe. No problem when you fully open water (fig1). Problem is at the end (fig2). This is what I have at hand right now. I think it's a quiet big hole to use silicone. And foam will probably deteriorate quick quickly when in contact with water. I spent a quiet a lot of money on this bathroom to just somehow hack it. Best way to fix it?
  23. Did you just assumed my gender?
  24. I have opposite experience. We have received package (2 hoodies) that we did not order. It was in a name of a family member, that no longer live with us . And he did not order it either. It was for free. We were told that it is some kind of scam, once you receive it, next time you will get paid package .... 6 months later no problems, 2 free cool hoodies for free. ????
