First would need a bit more info. Is the house built on piers, floor slab on the ground, or raised? As for the roof, I had the same problem with the valleys leaking during high wind and rain. I had to remove the tiles and put in a wider metal valley tin. How steep is your roof? In the video, the tiles were put on a roof that was too flat for tile. I think you would need a 20-degree slope roof minimum for tile. Back to termites. I am surprised that there is not more use of metal termite shields here. I have a friend who even though he built his house with a 1 meter-high crawl space under his house and concrete floor, termites found a crack and ate away most of his wooden drink cabinet before he noticed them. Just a side note on the video. Metal needs to be washed down with vinegar or a product I have seen sold here to remove the oil before painting. The workers should have known that.

Of course, I am spending more as the price of everything has gone up. But many of us get cost of living increases from our home country that more than make up the increase in the cost of living here. I do know a Brit who has been here for 20 years without a cost of living adjustment and he is feeling the pain.

I don't really know but I would think that if they will accept the Thai driver's licence as proof of identification then they would give you the discount. But I am not sure they would accept that alone.

"Mr. Tom cooperated with the police and warned the public to be cautious of foreigners' behavior." That was very nice of him.

The photo is now on the wall at the office.

A month ago they did ask me what was the name of the holder of the account I was sending to and what was my chief source of income. Transfer still go through in minutes.

Here is also an article about the peace talks that were held in the weeks after The Russian invasion where Ukraine agreed to most of Russia's demands and why it failed. I hope there isn't a paywall. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/15/world/europe/ukraine-russia-ceasefire-deal.html

Would you really agree with this? Russias terms for negotiation from the horses mouth

I have made traps with a small box. Put clear plastic over the top with a slit in it. Put a battery-powered light inside. Lightly dust the plastic with talc. They are attracted to the light and slip down the plastic through the slit into the box. Works better outside since the insects are attracted also.

Where is this march going to be? I want to put up a snack stand.

Lord Almighty is now using the "we" pronoun?

There is no need to bring up more dirt on Trump. Those that follow him don't care and those that don't follow him already know he's a scumbag.

I've used dryer sheets. the stronger smelling the better. The Thais' sell these bags that they hang under the hood, but I don't know where you would buy them.

My hair is about 4 in long. I tried very short but didn't like the look. My hair is unruly and sticks out all over the place if I don't have a little length. I also think having a bit of hair on top protects your head from the sun

Married, no children, Live 2 k from town, house and car paid for, I don't drink. I added up all the money I brought in last year and it came out to 24,000 a month. No big medical expense bought a new AC.

Agree!

If one looks on Facebook one will find these Thai women who have a great following telling everyone how horrible their farang husbands are. Romantic love is said to have started in the Middle Ages when a class of people no longer needed to plow the fields. If you get a Thai girlfriend from the rural areas they have been brought up thinking more practically when it comes to relationships. If he has money and can take care of her and her family, they can look passed the looks and bad smell. Here is a good read for anyone thinking about getting involved with ANY woman. https://markmanson.net/history-of-romance

Here is a good example Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me —it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

First-time offense (that he has gone to trial for). For these offenses, people rarely go to jail. MAGA is just stirring up their followers.

I hope not. I need an hour's lecture on is it "The Cat in tha Hat" or "Tha Cat in The Hat".

I read that Russia is spending 6% of GDP on defense this year, up 36% from last year, with unemployment at 3%. Their economy is doing great at the moment, but sending all those farm boys off the war may lead to problems in the near future. Economies need to dispose of product. The Space race was good because you could put a lot of resources and manpower into something and light a fire under it and it is all gone, start over and repeat. Very little human or future consequences. War on the other hand takes care of the resources and manpower, but with lots of human and future consuquences.

GO get your passport renewed. I know someone who got theirs done in around 2 weeks. She even had a conditional PP. Then I would go and have the stamps transferred. Maybe they won't notice and if they do, they will work something out🙄. Other than that go and get doc from the embassy so you can leave the country.
