Pretty sure this has been posted already. And also pretty sure the pro Putin crowd and pro Trumpers work as a tag team. One after the other, never ending with their rhetoric. They tell us not to believe the MSM, well they are the MSM on this forum, so I for one will choose not to believe, or care what they think. Russia - bad, Ukraine - good, Trump..... the word demented springs to mind. No amount of nonsense posting will alter my view. Don't waste your breath anymore, nobody in their right mind is listening.

Thanks. Theoretically the patching should now be a breeze. I started out as a plasterer way back in 82. I got lucky as my condo building had some work done recently, and the guys left a load of these metal lathe offcuts in the trash, so I grabbed a few, exactly for this purpose. I can't imagine they're expensive, but it saves another trip out to find them, and then cutting them down to a transportable size. I haven't sourced the ceiling tiles locally yet, but the Shopee link mentioned earlier is there if I do get stuck. I've actually got similar, aged and discoloured (and flat, unpatterned) tiles in my bathroom, so could even use those first for the patching, then switch them out later for some new ones.

It's not that I care if he survived, I don't know the bloke, but just to know what kind of mood he's in might be interesting/entertaining.

Anyone else here this morning checking to see if he made it through the night? Or will he soon report he splashed out on a few escorts with flat tummys that took his mind off things?

I wonder if the US would buy Russian eggs?

10/10 for entertainment value 😂

What's the difference between the Russian agents and the Trump agents that are here on the forum? Insert punchline here:

I thought Vlad was worried NATO was getting near to his Russian borders. Wasn't that part of his reasons for invading? You should have told him he had nothing to worry about.

Looks like Donald has to bend over even further now. Hope his back is up to it.

Perfect, thank you. I think this is my best option. Thanks everyone for your input.

Thanks. The only other option I've seen is flat (suspended) ceiling tiles, maybe 2' square, that look like plasterboard. But I can't remember where I saw them, whether they can be bought singularly, or the thickness etc.

A good option, thanks. I don't know about easier to work with though: cut with grinder / hacksaw? Brittle too. I've got loads of odd size and shaped holes to patch and don't want to create too much dust.

Or the issue could be transport. Ever thought of that? Unless I can buy smaller, I was thinking to buy a whole sheet, cut it in half and leave half at the shop's trash bin. Got to be a non-windy day as I'll be on a motorcycle. That's why smaller would be better. It's not about money. At least you seem to confirm the thickness is 9mm.

I call it plasterboard, you may call it sheetrock or drywall, but what sizes are available to buy here in TH? I've made a load of holes around the condo where I've fished cables around for a rewire, and now I want to start patching up and making good. I probably only need around half a sheet (1200mm x 1200mm (4'x4') ), but can you buy anything other than an 8x4 here? The thinner board is 9.5mm (3/8") in the UK, but did I read it's 9mm here? It doesn't matter, as long as its not thicker.

I pay mine through Lazada. I don't have a Thai bank account, but my UK credit card (no foreign fees) is set up for Lazada. When I'm not in Thailand I usually pay every other month, just because the admin fee is as much as the no-use bill. I have the PEA app in my name.

I'm just finishing a rewire on my condo too, but not even thinking about having it certificated, if it's even possible here. Just knowing it's safer is enough for me. Unless of course it's because you need a certificate for reselling or renting purposes?

I use my phone too. How about buying a monitor that you could use as a screen for your phone? Probably cheaper than a new tablet and a new simcard/data plan (unless you plan to switch out your simcard every time). Another option is to use another navigation app. The one I use for example does not need to be online. You download the maps when at home on WiFi, then navigate offline. Great for when you're travelling where roaming charges are expensive, or where the phone signal is hit and miss.

You don't know your music. "Too drink to <deleted>" "Viva Las Vegas" "California (uber alles)" "Kill the poor".........

Fashion, or a religious statement?

Did anyone else notice that when Leg end stopped, Fr ank took over, then when he stopped it was Th aibeach's turn. Has anyone seen them in the same room at the same time?

24 hours later.... I tried to call 1242 yesterday, but didn't hear what to press for the English option. She does say at the start of the recording (9 for English), but I missed it. I then queued up on the chat service which never ended up with an agent, even after leaving browser open and waiting for 2 hours at a time. Anyway, this morning, back on the phone, option 9, and it was answered quickly. Their reason: "you must have signed up to SMS promotions". I hadn't, or at least I hadn't knowingly. In fact when I was last here back in Oct I found out about *137 shortcode which did cancel the junk I had been receiving. I "lost" another 10.70 overnight, I haven't received any spam SMS messages, and I'm starting to regret getting off the phone without having these charges reimbursed. The only thing I can think of was when I activated this 30 day unlimited data etc package, that auto-signed me back up for the spam. Although I haven't received any spam for the nearly 30 days it's been running. Watch out for True!

A bit confusing for me too.

Very handy info, thank you. I do have lots of points so using them would be good. My validity is now until next Jan, I presume validity is only for a max of 1 year? Handy for future reference if that is the case.

I've just worked out it was a 10.70 disappearance overnight. 2 x 5 baht plus vat? VAT is 7%?
