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…

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!

It’s the thought that counts! 555. Don’t think too much….

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....

Wild Boar On the Loose in Pattaya Draws Major Social Media Attention

After they’ve been barfined? Lol -
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.

It depends how dirty I am , and what they are cleaning...

How hard is it to re-sell cars in Thailand?
G Rex replied to Startmeup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
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! -
One dog - out of the tens of thousands roaming free in Thailand - gets rehomed , and we are supposed to get warm fuzzies like ‘Lassie come home’ or ‘Old Yeller’ ? Give me a break!

Was that the guy from the Vietnamese restaurant?

AS others have said - you need to treat the house and garden area to kill the tick nymphs. Any insecticidal/pyrethrin spray will do the job. I bought a product from Big C last month - sorry, don't remember name - but it smelled like vinegar. My FIL used it to spray around their house to get rid of the ticks - and it worked well. The Bravecto you gave last year will not have 'worked' for 12 months. Ticks are seasonal in Thailand - so are not a problem all of the year. Now is T time!! Bravecto or Nexgard will kill ticks when they bite your dog - and help protect them from tick borne diseases like Canine Ehrlichiosis (tick Fever) - this can be fatal - so when you see the ticks - treat your dog. Insecticidal washes, containing pyrethrins, will stop most ticks from attaching to your dog.

Cats in Thailand are routinely vaccinated for Feline Enteritis (Panleucopenia) and Cat Flu , (Rhinotracheitis , Calici virus etc). Feline Enteritis is the main disease to be concerned about. We also vaccinate our cat for Rabies - but this is for his & our protection. I am not suggesting that your cats are turning up their toes from rabies!

Police Conduct Raid on Plant of Illegal Silicone Implants
G Rex replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand
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.
