Nothing to do with being destitute! I have a hobby that uses a lot of pork!

David

I was looking for cheaper than Makro.... minced pork is almost as expensive as loin: 147 - 160 baht a kilo!

I was just hoping that maybe someone who buys a lot would say 'ah yes, there's a little man I know down such and such a soi that butchers his own pigs and sells for 20% less than anywhere else'!.....

thanks,

D

we go about once every 6 weeks and walk round the lake, daughter likes to play in the park, but sometimes she is the only one there!

What a helpful answer!

Where's the cheapest place to buy pork in Chiang Mai?

Prices just keep going up and up!

So... back to the topic? No one sends their kids to Regina?

well! If we're going to stay here in CM, then what are the options? An international school which will leave her (from observation) with a strong American accent and little Thai? (She's never going to go to Uni in Amarica) or a 'decent' Thai school that will prepare her for life as a Thai?

wife (her indoors, or rather outdoors at the moment) says that 46% passed the CMU entrance exam which impressed her....

Her indoors is thinking of sending the little darling to the Regina school....

Anyone else send their kids there? Good or bad experiences?

thanks

Hi

A friend of mine, who is getting on a bit in years, has asked me to 'take care' of stuff

after he shuffles off his mortal coil. Can anyone recommend a will writing service I can point him in the general direction of?

Thanks

Not sure if it has to be in Thai or English... It's just for the Thai part of his stuff, British side is already covered.

The only restaurant where you can eat well for the price is Sizzlers.

From time to time, important subjects come up on TV for discussion, things that effect a reasonable number of TV members, things that people need help with and somewhere to vent their frustrations. I would welcome suggestions as to how we can do this within the rules of TV...

Question... Do I have to apply in person with my daughter in BKK to get her a passport...? This is implied on their website, but not clarified!

thanks

(I think it said that first passports had to be applied for in person, but not which person, child or parent or both parents or all 3!!!...)

Ok.... went this morning and now know the system....

Thanks for all your help guys, I too will keep it a secret

I need to mark 100 or so days before my visa extension renewal date for online booking... HOWEVER the number of days before had that you can book would appear to be random. I tried at 100 days to find it full, and the next day (103 days) and the next (104 days) - it was a Friday.... 90 days is never a problem, always in and out in less than half an hour....

Really? No one?

They used to have a book that you signed on arrival but I heard they did away with that, what's the process now?

What time do I need to get there to guarantee an appointment?

thanks

I wanted an oven element for my Hafelle oven (5 years old)

After 2 days they called back and said 800 baht BUT 120 days delivery time!!!! <deleted>!

Ordered one online from the UK, 900 baht including delivery.... waiting time 10 days!

AMAZING Thailand

thanks
