Steve is in rescue mode, they know how to find a job if they want to work.

Well there you are, another anomily in this great land where one hand doesn't know what the other is doing, Pattaya immigration is a nation all of its own it would seem, they charge for a certificate of residency too was 200 last time payed 300, which again is another scratch your head requirement, was free in BKK when I needed one, pretty sure my first 90 day done in BKK was just the form and passport and a 30 min sit-down till processed. I keep a pretty keen interest on the former police chief that was in charge of Pattaya immigration I like to keep up to date with the legal process's he and the mrs are going through, karma is a wonderful thing.

Yes I was, annoyed I missed the date, annoyed because the residue of a 3 month long cat chasing its tail had recently ended, annoyed that now with paying tax to them they will get another easy 2000, its worth it if you learn something new, I will now be using reminders on my iPhone for just about everything.

Yes and Hamas would be as popular as a dead rat found in your fridge, 15 months of misery would have turned many of the population into thinking hang with these guys we are dead men walking.

And dont be late, first time I had to do a 90 day report the fine was 2000, today I was rejected online, turns out I got the dates wrong now 2 weeks late, fine is 5000 now, I reach out to the Aussies who left AU saying its a nanny state, mate we are in Nazi Germany here, 1984, they want to know where you are all the time...add the reems of photocopies they want you to supply every time you walk into an immigration centre.

Beggars cant be choosy, if you are Aussie then Tinnys will heal the belly, you kiwi's must be hard to please the pastry is fine and I only buy the pepper steak that has chunky beef and sells around 170, dont know what you paid 200 for, might surprise you what a meat pie costs back home these days, and anyway maybe 4 times a year...I get a taste of home.

The poster needs to chill you aint back in the home country anymore, I got my leg burnt once when a p.r.c.k on a motor bike on the footpath in BKK zoomed past me zig zagging between pedestrians, frigging hurt but he didnt care. Dont know why you think they even think they have issues to sort out here, Thai style is "just accept" Ive given up on getting moody over the pot holed roads of Pattaya, getting thrown around on my bike, I splashed out and bought a tread mill after tripping once to often on there s.h.i.t footpaths... Long weekend, events, I hole up in my condo till its over.

When I want to buzzzzzzzz I listen to stuff like this.... Seen them twice live in Melbourne AU, nothing shorter than 10 min..

Thaicarpenter had an interesting jig set up that bolted a Makita 190B planer to it to act like this planer... Ps in Australia this is a planer..not a jointer.

Depends what country you are from, Ive certainly heard the term jointer used for a biscuit jointer before. I went to the shop its west of BKK about 1 hr from city centre, not aware they have a factory, they seem to run some woodworking classes out of there but I could be wrong, there appears to be a lively hobby group a few guys walking out with what were small bench jigs and the like made for some of the gear they sell there. My main reason to go there was to check out there track saw and in particular the track and there lengths and how they joined them, and a compound mitre saw. Nothing like the tool shops back home but there got what I need.

You want a caulk not silicon, not seen here mould resistant silicon, the readily available one gradually goes yellow, I bought a tube of Sika (brand name) that has a range of silicons and caulks, get at any half decent hardware store, white black I think and clear, does not shrink best used around counter tops and showers, or try a roofers silicon that should stick anything and should not shrink or crack should be just as affective as Sika caulk/silicon.

The chicken I buy is tender, stop buying in markets, maybe an over grown coffee grinder might do the trick for you.

Im aussie and suspected it was a Biscuit jointer that Charlie sent a link too, nothing to do with planing, I was at the Thaicarpenter close to BKK a week back, he sells decent stuff, unless your going into production what he has is more than good enough.

You are a dreamer, they make it easy for you to spend, customer service is excellent if you are trying to spend money in there store, they fall down badly in consumer rights, fall down badly when you have an issue with a service they provided, my recent experience with a big box retailer was horrible, severely screwed around for 3 months then someone in electrical department makes a ruling on my plumbing issue, add poor product knowledge then throwing in there customer complaints email address, bounces my email back saying I am not authorised to email them...hows that for forward thinking in the 21st century? If you keep it simple you have less issues here hey? There got a long way to go before that govement minister of previous government gets to see BKK as the Louis Vuitton of the east.

Well you can take it with a grain of salt what there saying here, my TGF went to BKK hospital Pattaya recently and here bill seemed around what I would have paid, its maybe the fact she had private health cover she was robbed too?
