  1. It looks like she was making silicon nose and chin implants. These are more rigid - and will not burst or leak. If sterilised properly before insertion it really shouldn’t be that much of a problem.
  2. I enjoy watching some of Paddy Doyle’s travel videos around Thailand. He has also ‘done’ Vietnam, & is currently ‘doing’ Laos. He is a little annoying, & the videos are often a little light on content, but the cinematography is excellent. It gives me ideas on places I want to see, & others I will be happy to miss in LOS.
  3. A true Staffordshire Bull terrier will not attack a person, although many are not good with other dogs. A Pitbull or Amstaff type dog is completely different. These dogs are unpredictable, and a previously docile dog can 'turn' and exhibit excessive aggression - as in this case. Over 35 years working as a veterinarian I have seen or heard of countless acts of (generally) unprovoked aggression by 'Pitties' , or Pitbull Crosses. They do not have to be purebred to be bad. It only seems to take a touch of their genetics to create the time bomb that these dogs are. They are restricted or banned in many countries for very good reason.
  4. Bob - have you been having remedial English lessons? Your typing, spelling, and vocabulary have improved immensely since those early old farang girlfriend stealing days.
  5. As marty147 has said - Nexgard would be the easiest way to treat these dogs as it is palatable & readily taken by dogs. It is not cheap. Ivermectin administered at 200micrograms/kg is effective - but needs to be injected. - so probably not practical. Vinegar, engine oil (!?) etc as topical washes are not likely to be effective - although if the dogs have demodectic mange rather than sarcoptic mange it may help. Are the dogs itchy? If so it will be Sarcoptes. Demodectic mange looks bad, but the dog is generally not itchy. This is easier to treat, and sometimes just improving the dogs general health, and hence immune status , can help it recover.
  6. The Daphnis genus are found throughout Europe, Asia, Northern Australia & Northern Africa. Daphnis nerii, the Oleander Hawkmoth is a regularly found in the UK. Daphnis nerii & D. hypothous can be found in Thailand. Sorry! This is a passion of mine. I travelled, collected and studied moths for more than 40 years.
  7. Snap! here's a couple I am rearing inside - so the parasitic wasps don't get them
  8. Now I understand the reason for the pitiful screams & wails that emanate from her... ok - I admit - she did an ok job of the Titanic theme
  9. The other common food plant for this species is oleander. If larvae are taken from this plant - the cardiac glycosides ingested by the caterpillar could kill your chooks! Caterpillar Revenge!
  10. Hi. This is the caterpillar of Daphnis hypothous - a beautiful Hawkmoth species - related to the Oleander Hawkmoth. I have these on my desert roses too - but the plants recover quickly - and seeing the beauty of the larvae and the moths outweighs the temporary carnage! (IMO). Edit: any topical pyrethrum insecticidal spray will get rid of them ????
  11. The likelihood of the prospective purchaser introducing an infection - viral or bacterial - is extremely low. IMO opinion this is just bs to create the aura that their bloodlines & breeding are so wonderful. It depends what the OP wants - a genetically wonderful canine - or a good socialized pet.
  12. Thank you. This is my new word for the day! ????
  13. Off topic - sorry! We recently bred a litter of French Bulldogs. We have both parents , now desexed. Our quiet house is now mayhem with 6 frenchies running around ! We had no interest from anyone to buy them! Advertised on Bahtsold (waste of time) & put numerous posts on wifes' FB page. French bulldogs sell for more than $7K in Australia - here, we couldn't give them away!! (actually we did give 2 away!). 65K Baht for a Dobermann pup with no information about parents & sight unseen is complete bs.
  14. Snap! I find petrol better than turps for tar removing, and much less labour intensive than clay bar. Yes - I forgot to mention - drying the car after washing is very important to prevent water spotting. We have very hard water (full of Limestone) and the cars look hideous if left to air dry. After washing I use my garden blower to remove excess water, and then dry with microfibre towels. I am a bit OCD with my cars!
  15. Park car under cover , maybe get a cover to put on it if you aren't using it everyday. This will protect against birds hit , tree sap, and if you have exploring cats - they are less likely to scratch the paint. Wash the car regularly, and apply ceramic coating. I DIY with Armour Shield IX - but there are many reputable places that will apply ceramic coat to your car - prices vary from 5 to 30K - but you should be able to get a good job done for under 10kK
  16. sorry - I neglected to say that my OS is macOS

  19. 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.
  20. 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!
  21. the Lord giveth , and the Lord taketh away
  22. "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.
  23. 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
