WE have a cheap SmartHome Air Fryer. It's the ducks guts! Wife cooks meat/ribs in it - they come out great - and is much easier to clean than a conventional oven or messy frypans. I heat (frozen) pies in it - they come out crispy & perfect - not soggy and cold in the middle like from the microwave. We are setting up a new kitchen - and will probably equip with Air fryer convection microwave combo.

I agree that Ebay will give you greatest choice - but the products being sold will not come from Thailand - most likely US or Europe - and you will pay exorbitant shipping charges (and duty). When I am trying to source parts for my European cars I search Google - especially using a VPN to give me more 'local' access - and the find a company, or breaker yard that will ship internationally. You can also try FaceBook marketplace here - but there is not usually much there. In LOS, not many cars seem to be broken for parts - they all seem to get a Toyota engine put in them - and they live on!

"However, these points will be points deducted whenever they are caught committing a traffic offense." So not very likely to happen then. "Speeding, failing to stop for pedestrians at a zebra crossing, talking on the phone while behind the wheel, or driving a vehicle with no license plate will cost the driver one point." Bowling over a pedestrian is only worth one point?? Things will have to change greatly for this to work in LOS. I was pinged by a red light camera while driving my wifes' car a few weeks ago. I was very apologetic and told her that I would confess as being the perp - but she said was no problem - plod does not need to know who the driver was! TIT.

September 2019 Ford Ranger XLT in very good condition. This is the 'open cab' model. Hi-rider version - so RWD. 2.2Lt 4 cylinder turbo-diesel. 6 Speed Manual transmission. Purchased for the in-laws , but they thought it was too flash to use on the farm! (& too high to throw potatoes in to!) In very good condition , Has only travelled 7,600 km. Been sitting around too long!! Purchased for 755k Baht - will sell for 475k Baht - Yes - allow me to take that depreciation hit for you! This car is near new - nothing to spend Thanks for looking

mmmmm. breakfast ????

I have almost zero interest in watching soccer. However, I am interested in this farcical will we/won't we have televised games palaver. All for a tournament that Thailand did not qualify for. 555

Care factor? Zero

Yes - this concept has been difficult for me to comprehend in LOS. No No Claim Bonus to carry onto your new car , no multi vehicle discount on policies. I have insurance on all of my cars - I just hope to never need to use it here!

I installed a 4.2kW system on my home in regional Victoria in 2011. At that time , the system was not cheap - about $15K - but due to the higher feed in tariff I was getting - I hardly ever had an electricity bill , and the system paid itself off in less than 6 years. After 2012 , systems became cheaper, but the 66c per kW feed in price was scrapped and was reduced to about 6c - so return on investment was lower. With high feed in payments, we made sure to use little electricity in the daytime - so that our generated power would return to the grid, and we would use cheaper off-peak power at night. The system now is skewed towards using your own generated power in the daytime. I looked into solar installations in LOS - too expensive (unless you can DIY) - and because electricity is relatively cheap here - too long to break even. I went for solar to save money - not to feel great about saving the world. Dictator Dans policies will be purely aimed at vote catchers. No doubt the battery storage banks will be installed in Labour or marginal seats!

I get the same , and I somehow got onto a list receiving messages from a ‘lonely’ Thai lady. My wife fixed that problem..????. (Not the loneliness though) i delete or block unwanted incoming messages.

Jacobs Creek 'Classic' Shiraz Cabernet 2020. - eminently drinkable! Wife loves this one. She finds CabSavs & merlots a bit heavy , and most shiraz a bit 'nothing'. About 550 Baht @ TMK, a tad more at Tops.

If Rich or poor are both doing the same crime - why should one subset be penalised more than the other?? Sounds like jealousy to me... BTW - which countries would these be?

It is because there is generally so little excitement during a soccer game, that the spectators feel compelled to create their own entertainment off field!

To whom? Taxi company? RTP? Driver? - or do you go through contents of bag & try to contact owner directly?

If this was in my area, the blunt object would most likely be a motor vehicle. The local stray (or ‘semi-stray’) dogs lay on the (narrow) roads and often refuse to move. To give them their dues - they fairly quickly learn to recognise my vehicles after a few near misses! (semi-strays refers to the multiple ‘owners’ who would come out of the woodwork looking for compensation in the event that a dog is injured) i am not a dog hater - we have 4 of our own. I am however a hater of vermin and irresponsible dog owners.

looks mean and nasty - but totally harmless. Only means of defence is to emit a pungent odour - hence the name 'vinegaroon'. There are tailed (this one), and tailless varieties.

Can you explain why all of the sympathy should go to the loser of the fight? Two men chose to fight to 'settle their differences'. The Thai guy lost. This was not a case of some nasty French gangster running around targeting poor defenceless Thai men. I hope the Thai man recovers, but he does not appear to be as squeaky clean as some would suggest.

Hi. You will find a lot of info on this thread. You can also go to Paypal site & look up FAQ. Cheers PayPal re-registration now requires Thai national ID card

Agreed! But for me was convenient to use for some recurring payments and subscriptions. It meant i could use a credit card, without divulging all of my account information. I might have to investigate to see if there are any other options for this.

I will search EBay sometimes when searching for car parts, or electrical items. Often what I am looking for will not be sent to Thailand. However, after finding what I am looking for, I will often get links to Lazada or Shoppee with the same item. Their search engines are not too flash in English - but the (scary) wonder that is Google helps make the connection for me. In Australia, I was quite happy with EBay - as a buyer, and a seller. In LOS, I have learned to live without it. The imminent changes to PayPal will be the final nail in the coffin ⚰️..

Only in the Motor section I think…

Ebay is not very popular (or usable) in Thailand. For selling - try Facebook marketplace , or even Bahtsold. For buying - previous 2 & Lazada. I have had an Ebay account for 20 years, but find it not much chop here in Thailand. Delivery fees and methods, and taxes and duties tend to be the killers. Also with upcoming changes to PayPal (ie its death for non-Thai 'residents' in LOS) - payments will be more fiddly... Cheers

Yes - this is correct for orbital sander. Then there are 'dual-action orbital sanders' - that are best for buffing and polishing cars. A belt sander is the one that 'spins around very fast'.
