    I find the commercial offensive as it is promoting unsafe and aggressive driving habits:

     

     

    Race Your Pride Ambition. 

     

    Nothing about safety.

     

     

    HaHa.  

     

    This is an advert for a vehicle with the word Sport in its title. Would you really expect to see turtle driving. Of course not.

     

    If you are offended by the advert, fine and I appreciate your honesty but you would be one of very few.

     

    Wouldn’t buy one because already have an SUV but I like the colour.

     

    Great advert, gets over what it wants to say quite well.

    Those prices sound high compared to Canada ???????? 

    It is also generally warmer here than Canada.

     

    Prices in Canada have no meaning whatsoever to the prices here in Thailand.

     

    I’m sure that if you search hard, you will find things in Thailand that are cheaper than in Canada.

     

    You need to understand this.

    hydrochloric acid (muriatic) or phosphoric acid are the go to cleaning agents. Though they are extremely dangerous too use and if not correctly neutralised will continue to do nasty things to the surrounding area.

    Ah… I have some, I did think about using that. 
     

    I bought it when I was repairing whatever you call the ‘small colored stones set in concrete’. Dilution is 10:1.. use it to remove just a small layer of cement.

     

    Goggles, gloves and at least jeans to be worn. And of course add water to the acid.

    Yup ^^^, that would be my response too, he made the mess, he can clean it up or replace the pavers.

     

    In reality neither is going to happen ???? 

     

    EDIT A thought, are the pavers symetrical, could you just turn them over?

    No, one side only blocks, Could be some discussion when final payment time comes.

  5. The painting contractor workers were careless and didn’t cover the block paving before working above with cement, so now have cement droppings on the blocks.

     

    Contractor says I can get that off… not my experience without leaving marks behind.  Anyone know any product that can remove the marks left behind after scraping the blobs off and blocks still look ok.

    Has anyone here ever used their brain ask the question why the vaxes are FREE all over the world? Have Farangs in the entire history of Thailand ever been given  FREE medical anything EVER on a large scale........No not ever........I bet not a single poster here has ever received any medical thing in Thailand FREE before...

     

    Maybe there is more to all this Freeness.... 

    O My Good we are doomed……….

     

    Actually YES have had free flu jabs a few times. However the last three or four years have had to pay.

  7. Very………

     

    My wife or myself go and see her every day and she is getting on with clearing the house, amazing how much ‘tat’ they had. You can tell though that she is very sad, not surprising.

     

    She does have a Filipino friend who has residency here so that is a great help as like me she doesn’t speak Thai.

     

    As someone suggested why don’t I just ‘fund’ her back to the Philippines, it might come to that. I do belong to a car group that raise money, usually for orphanages, and am a bit hopeful that they may help a little.  

     

    I think now we have done this topic to death so if no more plausible suggestions appear shortly I’ll ask a mod to close.   tks

    1) Your friend while being quite old should have sorted this out long ago.

    2) Your friend, so you must know her quite well, why don't you help her out instead of asking strangers to do it with "GOFUND ME"

    1 ... Yes

    2 ... Have already helped her out with his funeral expenses. Her friends and I will be clubbing together but wondered if there are options to help and assistance to empty what accumulates in a house after twenty odd years.

    OP is a bit muddled and not clear at all  as to who and where this all relates.

    I guess too much information,  so in very simple terms.

     

    Her long time (Danish) partner, who even after all those years never divorced, died and left her very little money.

     

    By the time she had paid outstanding bills etc, whatever money she could access here in Thailand has basically gone.

     

    She cannot claim any money that he had saved in Denmark, and his family won’t help.

     

    She has to empty their rented house and then fly back to the Philippines and start her life again.

    Seems confusing, is this village in Thailand or the UK?
