Like I said they belong in a mental institution. That would be compassionate. It's very simple a woman cannot become a man and a man cannot become a woman. Not in the true sense. So they need help. Not compliance with their fantasy.

That is BS.

Indeed you are right.

You didn't read the OP then! To quote "When I was young, I enjoyed seeing this 50-Year-Old Mrs. Robinson leering at me, with her son sitting next to her, not having a clue."

when you were 17, did you get laid by Mrs Robinson. Or was that just a 17 year old boys imagination running wild?

I think you might find that sanded grout is cement with more sand in it than used for mortar cement. probably very easy for make yourself.

If the transport bolts have not been removed, the machine wouldn't work, but theres a good chance the motor would burn out trying to spin a drum which is bolted to the chassis of the machine!

So break off the old posts without digging out the foundation, and start over from scratch. Your idea is going from bad to worse. Remember you have to allow the new earth to settle trough the rainy season.

About the only way it would work, would be to make a metal sleeve about 60cm long with holes drilled to line up with the holes on the poles. But it would look awful. Besides the actual cost of replacing the poles for the size wanted wanted would not cost the earth. If the OP is thinking of bolting the poles to the side of the existing poles. I doubt the existing poles would support the weight. And would look equally awful.

Just replace the poles with the size you want. Your idea of fixing two poles together will not work.

America said No.

Never lend money to a Thai. You brought this on yourself. You deserve all you get. Tell him you will not lend any more money. Tell your wife to stop being friends with him or divorce her.

You have to get probate over the will. This document gives you the legal right to execute the will according to the deceased's wishes. If this includes assets in another country. You will need to apply for probate in that country also. Here in Thailand, you would probably find it easier to get a lawyer to help.

So where is the link for this story?

You cannot open an account with the London Branch. They will not be interested.

Check your maths! It's about 9000 Baht.

Maybe try smart board from SCG.

As long as it takes for Russia to over run Ukraine!

just pointing out that your comment that gold is up 5% over the last 12 year. Is wrong as I could make a return of 15% for 3 years. But if you want to bring inflation into the equation, Show me any investment that has returned more than inflation. I may be standing still But I haven't lost. The average inflation rate for Thailand from 2020 - 2023 is 2.75%. So doing better than the inflation rate.

I've been buying gold for 3 years. If I cash out now I would be up 15%. Are you sure you even know what you are talking about?

You obviously can't read. I said If we fine ourselves in a situation like the 1930. The clue is not what is happening today, but what could happen when fiat is so devalued you might need a wheelbarrow full of cash to go shopping.

That comment proves you are no investor. Even if you think you are!

And by the sounds of it neither do you. If we have a 1930's situation where you need a wheelbarrow full of paper money to buy a loaf of bread. As happened in Germany. Do you really think he is going to watch his investments go to zero? But hey, It's a free world, only just. It's your right to throw your money away!

Like I said, You really think he won't cash out when the time comes. Or is he going to give you a heads up that he is selling? Not bloody likely!
