  1. Yes, the ladies like that better but mamason will be watching and if she doesnt have a drink mamason will tell her to move on. drinks of juice is 150 baht most places. If lady wants a beer it will be 180 to 200. You wonder why the ladies are getting fat? Too much pop. But, if they drink alcohol drinks, they will be alcoholics very quickly. I know a couple of young ladies that drink beer all the time. They are on contract and must get 70 drinks every 10 days to receive full contract pay. Not good!!!
  2. Cobalt 59 is extracted from the earth. By adding an electron it becomes cobalt 60
  3. Ok, since no one is getting it right, here it is. Cesium 137 is one of the weakest isotopes made. Just like cobolt which is not radioactive until an electron is added. Simple term for nucleur fision. Cobalt is used for very thick materials. when exposed you will die very quickly. Anything like Piping, vessels and concrete that are above 2.5 inches thick cobalt will be used. Under will use Iridium which can only penetrate up to 2.5 inches which still would take about 1 hr to xray. Cobalt will take about 6 minutes. Now radioistopes or GAMMA radiation is used for industrial applications. Medical uses X-ray can be turned on or off. Gamma is in what we call a pill and is radioactive forever. It has half lives. So if you have Iridium that is 100 curries, it will be about 50 curries in about 6 months and so on. Cesium is used in power plants to open valves and chutes. Once a level is reached of product, it will automaticcaly open the valve. I believe the max strength is 12 curries. It CANNOT pick up cracks easily so I have never used it in radiography. PS. I have worked over 30 years as a NDE Radiographer Level 2 in power plants and refineries. Hope this helps
  4. This is just another terrible tragedy that should never happen when on holidays. We seem to take more risks when we go on holidays( no helmet,phone, beer) which increases the odds of problems or like here, a bad accident. I see it everyday, I have been riding for over 10 years in Thailand. At night, the bike stays home and this reduces my chances. I drink and if the bike is there, I know I will ride it home so I do not take it. I have been riding for 43 years and been in 2 serious accidents. 16yrs and 23 and once here in Thailand which was minor but, was at night after a few beverages. The rules of the road are just not the same as the west. Here is the biggest problem. You can rent scooters or big bikes without a licence or experience. I wish this guy good luck and lets hope that June 1st this new 300 baht entry levy will cover motor accidents also but I REALLY doubt it. I am sure it will be just for sickness with alot of fine print
  5. I heard this is a 5 day holiday so is immigration closed on Monday?. Thursday to Monday
  6. The kids start riding at age 2-3 days old coming home from hospital. From there they learn to ride from parents and family. Enough said.
  7. It is not illegal to consume in the shop. As stated earlier, as of todays date, there is only a nuisance law and you cannot smell it outside the doors so there will not be any problems. I am a frequent user of the Pothole and it is fantastic. Great lighting, excellent air movement and the staff and owners are great. I was sitting with one of the owners the other day and was vaping. The pre rolled come with tobacco so not sure about the no smoking sign. There is a pool table upstairs which is a nice place to enjoy a few games and a toke. One or two staff members will remain upstairs with you and take your beer orders and rack the balls.
  8. When it comes to the bank(I use Kasikorn) if you lose your ATM card or pass book you must file a police report before they will issue a new one.
  9. You missed the point of the comments but I guess that was over your head
  10. The only bank that agents can use now is Bangkok bank. Kasikorn bank will not facilitate the pretending of 800,000 in your account. BKK bank will charge you 4700 baht to open the account. FACT.
  11. Last October I applied for my Non O visa in Jomtien and they refused me because I was 1 week shy of 2 months in my bank. They made me get another 30 days on my TR6o then I was able to get the non O
  12. Maybe same place but the mrs paid 40 baht for a bottle of water (7 baht at 7-11) and my beer was 70 baht and that is why I will aways enjoy a beer with my meal. lol
  13. Thanks Joe. I actually received it an hour after. Real easy
  14. I have read on here the problems users are having. My 90 day report is due July 16th. I just completed it now, July 12. I received a confirmation that it has been received immediately. Is there anything else that will be sent to me? Very easy process if that is all I had to do. Anything to stay away from actually going to immigration Thanks in advance
