  1. In other news, Khon Kaen International Airport Director Imalotta Hooey, stated when eventually opened, the new car park's lower parking level fee will include a free car wash.
  2. He appears to be able to think for himself.... That truck is only 20% loaded and the front wheels are still touching the ground.
  3. Home Pro is so far the most well-run retailer I've encountered in my time here. I actually like it better than Home Depot. At least they have people in each aisle to help. Nary a hint of anything dissatisfying…until now. Remodeling my kitchen down south, but I also have an apartment in BKK. So I bought all the appliances in Bang Na after visiting the Mex showroom which has displays and specs readily available. Bought mostly Mex (from Home Pro); gas cooktop, hood, built-in oven, water heater, sink/faucet, and a water filter. Now, I have a lot of building experience, but was told if I installed, no warranty. And, the water filter is a bit of a complex one, so that was really the only reason for having an installer. That and a warranty on a 35,000 baht oven. Went into the "local" Home Pro, which is 90 minutes from my house. Told them I was ready for install. Lady spoke decent English. Wrote up the order. In Thai, so I verified that the four items to be installed were the oven, hood, cooktop, and water filter. She confirmed. I signed and paid 4000 baht. Installer came today. I had already wired the outlets for the oven and hood, so that was quickly completed. I pointed at the water filter…..he said, no, no. Not on contract. Huh? I called the lady who worked with me. She said, sorry, I forgot about water filter, my mistake. Okay, no problem. I suggested I would install the cooktop myself, and let's take that 1100 baht and apply it to the water filter and call it a day, that I did not care about the 350 baht refund. Gas would cost more than that to drive 3 hours. Oh, but cannot, sir. You must pay the installer 750 baht, then drive here to get refund. Uh, no. Not going to happen. Or, for all intents and purposes, I could pay 1850 baht to install a water filter, a 30 minute job. So I called the 1284 number. Nice lady, good English. She sent the installer on his way and will get back to me. Or so she says. This has all made me thirsty. Off now to buy some water at the mom and pop up the road. Don't know when I'll be back, the installer did not know how to set the clock on the oven. .
  4. Yes, disgusting.... This is nothing to do with staff shortages, so that leads me to reasonably conclude they are lying. Something else is going on here....and I have a pretty good guess as to what it is.
  5. My dog is normal .... There must be something wrong with her then, I guess.
  6. TAT: Amazing Thailand! Come visit us....and bring your money....high-class only. See you soon! Tourist: I was going to come, but leading Thai doctors state you are undercounting your covid cases.
  7. Mr. Bring-yo-money also said "we have yet another scheme in the works. We are offering photos of beautiful Thai lady to any dirty but classy farang who send me 1 million baht but never comes here."
  8. My mom received my dad's SSA and his teacher's pension for 22 years after his death. Totally legal.
  9. Both my parents passed in Hospice. Surrounded by family, without pain. Can't think of a better place to die. "Care home" is an ambiguous term.
  10. On my beach, all the Thais ALWAYS go home 30 minutes before sunset.... Still can't figure that out.
  11. Who needs assistance? The unsure, perhaps? Then it becomes murder. 10k Euros? You have to pay to kill yourself? D@mn, that's crazy.
  12. Upon my arrival in this village, I looked for the poorest of families. Without taking time for details, I have arranged for them to assume ownership of my belongings and cash. Not easy, and could go sideways, but one does ones best. Thai family? No way. Even my dog is farang. P.S. I would urge the AN powers that be to remove this <deleted> spell checker from this site. Since it t still does not know that farang is a word, it's <deleted>. Tired of having to correct the corrector.
  13. Oh, really, like the condition that causes loss of smell and taste...hmmmm.
  14. Well said. To kill baby fish or mynah birds for one meager meal is sheer ignorance. Electrocuting frogs (article today) is another example. A lake near my house is void of life. They have used black powder, rather than bait and bobber, to decimate anything remotely edible. Omicron, er, I meant, moronic.
  15. Keep track of things people, especially with the vacuous words of politicians..... Lies, BS, lies, BS... How many times have they said the exact same thing over the years....? Here's their record:
