  1. Whats that mean? There are more poor people, superstitious or not than rich people, superstitious or not.
  2. I don't know much about importing and I haven't seen the list of restricted items, but it seems that people when flying in still pay import tax on items they bring. Someone I know brought in a pool filtering system last year on the plane. The guy with the car was a bit of a scammer. Owned 49% of a company here with the other 51% divided 4 ways. He may have brought the car in through the company.
  3. About 5 years ago
  4. A guy from the UK brought his little MG sports car. Brought in a shipping container. The container arrived along with the police. He got the car, but I don't know what it costed him.
  5. From that report While rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the air can be beneficial for plants, it is also the chief culprit of climate change. The gas, which traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere, has been increasing since the industrial age due to the burning of oil, gas, coal and wood for energy and is continuing to reach concentrations not seen in at least 500,000 years. The impacts of climate change include global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and sea ice as well as more severe weather events. The beneficial impacts of carbon dioxide on plants may also be limited, said co-author Dr. Philippe Ciais, associate director of the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences, Gif-suv-Yvette, France. “Studies have shown that plants acclimatize, or adjust, to rising carbon dioxide concentration and the fertilization effect diminishes over time.” “While the detection of greening is based on data, the attribution to various drivers is based on models,” said co-author Josep Canadell of the Oceans and Atmosphere Division in the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Canberra, Australia. Canadell added that while the models represent the best possible simulation of Earth system components, they are continually being improved.
  6. I guess that can happen but I have never heard of that happening before either.
  7. Had a problem at an apartment in the US. They said if it leaked their insurance wouldn't cover any damage.
  8. Oh, It will do the job. It is a bit more of a concentrated spray than most bum guns.
  9. I recently upgraded to one of these. No more leaning. https://www.amazon.com/PIKETS-Attachment-Non-Electric-Adjustable-02-Chrome/dp/B09QPDWXWC/ref=sr_1_15?crid=22XNWS4H3S2W7&keywords=bidet%2Battachment%2Bfor%2Btoilet&qid=1682044071&sprefix=biget%2Caps%2C359&sr=8-15&th=1
  10. I worked in the marijuana fields in Oregon for 4 years. 800 plants the largest. Now the fields are bear, the bottom dropped out. A good grade joint, sold in a plastic tube, one US dollar. I think it will be the same here in a year or two.
  11. I had the same problem as you and had to reapply. They always make the first extension the hardest, now with the home visit including the village head man, two neighbors unrelated to your family. But I remember way back when, you had to bring the neighbors in to sign at the immigration office. Also Korat office
  12. "kwaai" Buffalo, "kuuai" a rude word Thai insult meaning "prick". He seems he did know enough Thai to get his feeling across.
  13. None of us will know what really happened. He was a big man compared to the Thais around him. He already had shown his "personality" Did the Thais push first or did he? Maybe the Thais were defending themselves, and maybe he did fall on his face.
  14. My wife says he said "kuuai" not "kwaai".
  15. Since I understand very little Thai. What does she say about the bruise on her arm?
  16. I was thinking the same thing just before I read your post.
  17. The pump fell in? Was he pumping water out of the pool for the garden?
  18. I guess there can always be a problem, but i have never brought anything except my PP.
  19. 114 near Phimai 23 In Oregon where I will be next month
  20. I'm not really a fighter, but would do what I could to distract him. Not here, but back in my home country this year, there was a man pulling a woman down the middle of the road with a rope (turned out to be his mother). I got him to stop and only came at me once when he saw I was calling the police.
  21. Does drinking Ice coffee, or tea do the same? Maybe it is hot drinks. A year or so back I read that drinking hot coffee caused throat cancer, but was later it was noted that hot drinks of any kind could do the same. Maybe you are more sensitive to hot drinks.
  22. I always leave a little tip. They are not going to get rich on it. But I feel that when I buy an un-necessary thing like an iced coffee that cost 20% of the person's daily wage that brought it out to me, it is a good thing to do. I have had two places run by the owner ask me not to tip since they did not have employees. As for tipping workers that come to the house. It really is a Thai custom that at first was giving food and drink, now it is lunch money.
  23. I had to fly on China airlines twice. The flights are not too bad, I think the seats are smaller. But the worst part is going though China airports.
  24. I just wanted to add, if you are flying as a couple (at least on United/ANA) they will separate you and you need to pay more to sit together. The last flight I was on, we had confirmed seats next to each other but when we got our boarding pass they separated us. I noticed that my original sit was empty, and the flight attendant allowed me to move there if no one came assigned to that seat.
