  1. You neglected to mention the mandatory removal of the 'uncool' mirrors...
  2. I got no serious responses from FB marketplace or One2cars - eventually found a lucky buyer on Bahtsold. In my experience, private car sales by a non-Thai speaker can be more difficult here.
  3. About 15ml overnight near Kanchanaburi. Epic lightning show at 1am.
  4. We have 3BB & their streaming speeds are fine for youtube & Netflix - but we routinely have service interruptions once or twice weekly because of cable issues. When we move house we will change to AIS
  5. and the RTP regularly perform random checks...
  6. There are butterflies there - but many species are seasonal. However what you are seeing is a worldwide phenomenon - where insect numbers are rapidly declining, due to injudicious insecticide use and more importantly habitat destruction. As a kid in my native Australia, I remember driving holidays where we would have to stop every few hours and clean the dead bugs off of the windscreen - that has not happened for nearly 30 years there now. The insect biomass is reducing annually - and when they are gone - we will be too!
  7. Sold - but definitely NO thanks to this Forum. All that is here is crickets ???????????? Switch off the lights after you leave please.
  8. OK. Bump. I am tired of this car taking up space under my carport - I am now accepting 395,000 Baht - or very near offer. As an aside - AN car classifieds are not very successful!! I see many Ads with many views - but no replies. Too much pecuniary embarrassment here I fear..
  9. If you are making a profit from the sale - I understand your concern. If not - I would just walk away and let your ex deal with it. I have no constructive advice, I’m sorry - but if you can just go - and make a clean start - you will be much better off.
  10. Crazy numbers! Surely if renters could check that customers have a motorcycle licence - and insurance, things could improve. Maybe even stronger plastic helmets ⛑️ - 555. But - this is Thailand. Motorcycle renters are after money , and people who come here on holiday know that they can do anything they want, and nothing bad will happen to them . Hell - they are on holidays…
  11. Welcome back Rooster. Glad that you are looking after No. 1. It is so important- and yet neglected by many (or simply denied). I too enjoy your weekly perspective. Cheers ????
  12. “He returned to his room in Kata and next morning went to Bangkok Siriroj where no one who could help him was on duty.” LOL
  13. I have had many orders like this. Often it is marked as packed, with no further shipping information. Then the order is delivered normally…. I have learnt to chill and be patient!
  14. It’s the thought that counts! 555. Don’t think too much….
  15. Unfortunately cases like this do, and will continue to happen here in Thailand. I love my own dogs. I worked for nearly 40 years as a veterinarian, treating dogs. Most forum members here know what needs to happen here with this dog, aside from a few crackpot pitbull apologists. The Thai people I know have a very non-Western viewpoint on dogs. It is not rational in my eyes. Case in point - after yet another unwanted/unplanned (call it what you will) litter of puppies at one of our farms - I (half) jokingly said I would take a few of the newborn pups & feed them to my snake. This comment was greeted with such derision & shock - I have dropped a few steps in my standing in my family here!!. No - the puppies will be raised, and then when old enough, my Father in Law will take them for a trip to the 'forest'. Here they will be abandoned/dumped/rehomed. Not sure of the correct terminology here. This is seen as acceptable to all of my Thai family....
  16. A fictional make believe character will receive an imaginary non binary gender. Sounds quite rational to me. ????????
  17. The 90 day report & annual extensions (whichever visa type you have) are completely different animals. when you complete your 90 day report, they will give you a slip to keep in your passport which clearly states when your next report is due.
  18. I too equipped my home gym with good quality chinese made (an oxymoron?) gear - all purchased from Lazada. MUCH cheaper than anything I could source locally.
  19. It depends how dirty I am , and what they are cleaning...
  20. The used car market in Thailand is a dogs' breakfast! In my experience - dealers at 'car tents' - (used car lots) , charge crazy high prices, and generally are not open to much haggling or discounting. This may vary obviously, In Kanchanaburi, where I am, there are dealers who have had the same cars on the lot for the last 3 years. I don't know how they survive! I have sold cars here on One2Car , and Facebook Marketplace. The right car at a reasonable price will normally sell ok. However, as an example, I have been trying to sell a 3 year old Ranger ute with only 7000 ks on the clock for 300k less than I paid for it. In 4 months I have had 3 enquiries, and only been offered 35% of what I bought it for. (Hmm, might be time for a fire....!) If you cannot speak Thai, the sale difficulty increases!
