  1. 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 ⚰️..
  2. Only in the Motor section I think…
  3. 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
  4. 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'.
  5. Hi. Is your mate here for a holiday? Or longer stay? When I moved here full time a few years ago, I only had my Australian DL. Was checked at random police roadblocks several times - no problem. Hired cars many times (over last 8 years here) - showed Australian DL - no problem. I did have international permit many years ago - no one ever wanted to see it. I now have Thai DL - and when checked here - they still want to see my Australian DL! Go figure..
  6. Rabbit stew? But seriously now - although rabbits & other lagomorphs can be infected it is very uncommon. Most recorded cases involve infection after being bitten by raccoons (in the US). If your rabbit has not been exposed to other potentially infected animals - it is very unlikely that it has been infected with rabies. I have been bitten by several rabbits - some of them are just angry a-holes. For definitive diagnosis - send his brain to the lab - and stew the rest of him!!
  7. Yes - completely agree. Dogs are like men - they will be angry , but you give them some food & they will roll over for a belly rub. Cats are like women - they will be snarky for days....
  8. During my working life I was quite regularly bitten by cats. I became quite sensitive to the bacteria from their claws & teeth, & without treatment the redness & inflammation would begin within 4 hours! It became my routine - get scratched , walk to dispensary, & self medicate with Amoxyclav @ 10mg/kg for 5 days. Never had a problem & am still alive to tell the tale! As Sheryl has said , Doxy is fine to be taken with Amoxyclav - & Metronidazole will upset your guts!!
