Sorry to bump an old thread but I thought I should add that the market is only open Thurs.- Sunday. So that would be the best time to go. Found that out yesterday!

(Off course that should read "anyone")

Not cars but is diesel or petrol.

My son is visiting and wants to visit a traditional boat builder. Something to do with college/Uni studies.

I have a head cold the first for years. You know the Sniffling Sneezing Coughing Aching Stuffy, head Fever So You Can Rest kind of cold.

I used to use Stop Cold from Indonesia, but have exhausted my supply. Are things like Panadol cold and flu available here.

What about local ones? Any good ones?

seen today by someone else:

body_message: A few months back your team installed our electric fence and tonight for the first time it was put to test. Around midnight a group of five or six men tried to enter our property by climbing the wall and fence. The siren yelled out and the group was seen running away from the house. My wife and children were naturally shaken by the event but it proves the fence is doing its job. I work at sea and I sleep a lot better knowing that my family is safe when I'm not around. Thank you Mike, job well done!

300M of fence line is problematic if you are wanting any sort of physical resistance to entry that is effective against determined individuals. The electrical systems if topped without any obstacles such as spikes, does not pose much of a defense, however it will keep anyone depending on stealth to skip your

property.

First things first is get your fence line under two layers of motion detectors and the associated lights. It is the least you can do.

You have to consider how determined the individual is. Most crime here against homes is small time stuff. If you do as Kamalabob has done they simply move on to an easier target.

300m is no problem, neither is 750m.

They technical bit comes ascertaining where the entry attempt was on a big fence.

As to the OP. Statistically a house that has already be burgled is more likely to be burgled again than a house that has not yet. Sad but true.

Your wish is my command. Sent you a PM.

Cycling is on the increase with the middle class. Anything of value left unattended. As they say in Indonesia "if it's left, it's lost"

Whao, They started with noting and most of them still have it.

Wouldn't it have been the Khmer? Back then there maybe were no defined borders. Thailand is a bit like Britain. Angles/Saxons/Vikings/Celts in one corner. Khmer/Lao/Burmese/Chinese in the other! 

Secondly I contribute over 2 million baht a year to Thailand economy from money I earned over a lifetime of work in Australia.

Sadly this is irrelevant as a rubbish female engineer working for a foreign company can earn 160,000 a month and she is only one of many. 2 mil. is nothing in the grand scheme of things. 

The current situation is nothing to do with money or losing it. It has to do with getting rid of people the "system" deems undesirable, regardless of the money. It is not about the odd farang either, or guys younger than 50.

There are methods in place for every one to stay here if they wish to contribute to the government coffers, not the general economy. Either in income tax or as visa fees. 

Infrastructure and government supplied amenities , whatever they might be, cost money. Either contribute or leave. 7% VAT doesn't count. 

Best would be to contact some hospitals in the area she wishes to live. As she speaks English I suspect she would have no problem at hospitals that specialize in "fly-in" medical treatment or whatever it is called.

Money might not be great though. Then to progress upwards she will need Masters Etc. 

But it didn't explain EXACTLY why? For that you have to ask a dog who likes to stick his head out of the window of a moving vehicle. 
 
Or understand that when riding the level of concentration should be so high that one cannot think about anything else so it frees the mind, which is why some psychiatrists recommend riding as a therapy.

If one knows the plane is going to be delayed and there is an airport hotel , Best to just rush down there and book oneself a room. Pronto regardless of the cost.  If no airport hotel, at least one would hope they have showers.

Trying to remember where but I was stuck in an airport once and they had a sort of hostel, maze-like place with bunks and showers, where one could sleep etc. My delay was small but a shower makes one feel better.

 

...I would like to think ...

Many times on construction sites in Indonesia in the bar after work some one would say "what were they thinking" followed by a burst of laughter all around.

If living in Asia , best not to think, at least too much!

I am not sure what a CVT means but my Honda City is an automatic transmission.

if it is 2009 yes OK conventional auto. Jazz used to have CVT?

Some guys from Cambodia/Vietnam come here frequently to buy and hand carry accessories back. 

Question is it a conventional auto or a Honda CVT?

You should expect a decrease in power and fuel economy.  For your particular model I am not sure what those numbers would be.

Au Contraire sort of.

If it is a true "flex" car you will get slightly more power than benzine but yes you will use more fuel by volume. It's been a while since I drove a flex car, in Brazil the home of "flex' fuel, but on benzine I used to get around 600 kms per tank and on alcohol 98% I would only get 450 kms.  

Using current fuel pricing and basic math you might see a 10% saving on cost using E85 but at the expense of more frequent visits to the pump.  As E85 is not as universally available as other fuels that may not come to fruition.  If you live near a place that sells E85 that is OK but not worth driving out of one's way to find it.

Pay heed to the experience above about leaving the vehicle standing so plan that if you leave the country for an extended period and fill up or top up with benzine 95 before leaving.

I have friend who has a Chevrolet Captiva and he happily uses E85 for his 100km round trip commute. Although he has never commented on any saving. He just happens to live near an E85 station.

To be honest I didn't know there is a McDonalds on Soi 5 but..

Well it is Soi 5! From Soi 7 to Soi 5 is not called Soweto Alley for nothing. Then there is the Soi 5 to Soi 3 and belong , well lets call it the Arab Quarter. Then again not all westerners fit your perception!

Surely they lose more money by demonstrating/not fishing than they would by simply getting on with fishing? If it smells of extortion the NCPO will be along shortly.

This bit yes. I have a friend from Laos who frequently drives to Bangkok. Expert? AVR car rentals Vientiane?

Schenker? The house moving division.

So I have to eat some humble pie for being incorrect.

At the pub quiz we call it the Borneo syndrome because one guy was convinced Madagascar because he heard or learned it in school. When of course the answer is Borneo.

So I apologize for my error. Caused by seeing all the old Indonesian versions of "Click" which were air-cooled.

Just need to buy some or something similar 

How about a Reevu Helmet?

I used to work in Nikhom Phathana. Next time try this? http://goo.gl/maps/Jou77
