Tightening of Alcohol Laws With New Fines for Drinkers
These alcohol laws are so ridiculous not to mention antiquated. For a so called tourist destination, not being able to purchase alcohol between 2 and 5 is so frustrating, or should I say aggravating. Peak hours for out and about, doing our weekly shopping for us is between these hours. Planning your day to accommodate these laws really sucks. Big time. I understand these policies are to prevent Government workers from buying alcohol during their afternoon work hours. How about controlling the workers.

Good to see / hear. I'm waiting for Donald Trump to take the credit for facilitating and bringing about the Cease Fire. He is such a pompous ass. Can't stand that moron.

Thailand's Pavilion at Osaka Expo Faces Backlash for Missing Futuristic Mark
Yes no surprise here. Thailand has failed to get with the times and show some social development. I don't think Thailand would know the future if it walked up and slapped it in the face. Pity.

Dog Barking Drama: When Neighbourly Conflicts Turn Threatening
No if the dog barks all day due to the owner not at home. I have the same situation where the dog is neglected and not properly cared for. Night time barking is common as well as the dog(s) are left outside at night as well. I would never threaten however, to kill the dog. That is not the solution.

Laminate/Vinyl flooring over wood floor
I was in the construction business in Canada for over 20 years. Some of these comments are valid but other things to consider. Firstly, adding product to the existing floor will raise the elevation of the finished floor so you need to consider the space under doorways and the transition to other floor spaces if they exist. As well, take into consideration the thickness of your 20 mil plywood as well as the thickness of the resilient flooring that you want to finish with. I would not use OSB as it can absorb moisture and Thailand has a humid climate. Further, the plywood should be Tongue and Groove as well as Good One Side. The resilient flooring can reflect irregularities through the product if of not high quality. You get what you pay for. I cannot comment on the condition. off the current floor as obviously I cannot see it. If the current flooring is irregular and has squeaks, I would resolve that prior to adding a plywood topping, if that is what you want to do. Get rid of existing squeaks as they may not disappear with the addition of the plywood no matter how well you think you may secure it. How many square feet or sq metres of space are you talking about? You may be best off to get rid of the existing and start fresh. What is the substrate under the existing floor? Cheers Chris
