My wedding present to my stepson 18 months ago was AUD7000 to pay to bring his new bride to Australia.

 

Ok youre talking permanently yes?  My mind is stuck on a tourist visa as I am thinking of taking my wife back for a holiday soon....about AUD150 I believe.

Then for my lovely Thai wife to join me you have to pay way over $6,000 for a non refundable application for  visa.

$6,000?  Is this correct or do you mean 6,000 baht?

I used Dulux Easycare inside and Dulux Weathershield outside (along with their appropriate primers) 5 years ago and am very very pleased.   Unless you are really on a tight budget or there are other constraints I would definitely apply two coats.

A few words of warning.  I used several building teams because I built my place in stages ie house, boundary walls, workshop etc.  I needed to watch them like a hawk all the time because :

1.  Mixing.  They always grabbed a piece of bamboo or broomstick (round profile) to mix because it is easier even though I had given them a couple of WIDE paddles to stir.  One guy insisted on using his hands up to his elbow if I wasnt watching!

2.  Thinning.  I had to watch them closely as they will always try to add more water because its easier to apply and dont seem to comprehend that thinner coats equal poorer finish and durability.

3.  Applying.  No-one amongst the 3 different teams I used for different stages wanted to, nor knew how to use a roller tray.  They would dip the rollers into the paint pail instead!

4.  Mixing up the paint containers.  Because of their roller dipping method they would decanter the paint from the too deep big containers into smaller paint pails.  I was using three different white paints:  Weathershield for exterior, Supercote for ceilings and an undercoat for the ceiling....all white.  At the end of the day all the leftover paint was in wrong containers and almost impossible to differentiate!!

5.  Cutting-in.  To avoid mess from dripping I had them paint the white ceilings first.  After when they started painting the grey walls I soon learnt they could not successfully cut in between the walls and ceilings (no cornices).  It was a veritable dogs dinner.  I had to go out and buy more wall paint so they could paint the ceilings the same colour!

Be warned!

Too right....confine them to the kitchen and bedroom I say!!

Good on you Donald but dont forget to be always on your guard against kryptonite.....oh and God bless of course!

Why in Pattaya?  I thought there was no sex in Pattaya?

They even entered my hotel room and placed items there to intimidate me........

Have you by any chance been driving around with your window down and your elbow stuck out the window?  There is a member on here I am sure would like to talk to you.?

Who really gives a rat's butt whether foreigners or anyone else drive around whether windows up or down?  
When I grew up in Australia, air conditioning in cars was extremely rare so in the summer months everyone would drive around with their windows down to keep cool rather than to "be kool"
It only became law in the late 70's that hanging your elbow out the window became illegal because by that time 99% of cars on the road were fitted with electric indicator signals to let other drivers know your intentions.
Before that, everyone had to use hand signals so it was far more convenient to have the window down rather that have to wind it down each time you wanted to navigate to a new route.
They even had "window visas" which fitted on to the front door window frame so you could still drive with the window down in the rain without getting your right side wet which also offered some protection to your arm if you had it hanging out because it made the vehicle slightly wider so less chance of another driver misjudging and side swiping your car.

So if you  can view the local scenery better and want to drive around with your driver's side window open, it's not going to turn my head in amazement or condemnation.

 

And what about those little "flippers" that popped out the side of the car or yellow hands on trucks that indicated you were turning or stopping.

Well I quickly looked into this and its unclear whether the stamp would cause a ban or just the hassle of questioning.

In any case there is a prevention. You may ask Israel to stamp you in on a separate paper if planning on travel to Malaysia or some other Middle Eastern nations.

Yes it used to be the situation many years ago and was quite common for travelers to ask for a loose leaf visa.  Today I couldnt say for sure but imagine highly likely still so.

I asked if he did drugs! Can anyone provide a link where it proves he use drugs? 

 

People who are Bipolar, can act like they are on drugs, but they are not! How hard can it be for TV members to understand he struggle with Bipolarity, and understand what it means to be bipolar? 

 

Many famous big thinkers, musicians, artists, writers have struggled with bipolarity, and many ended their life by suicide! Others abused drugs and so on. But as far I know, Elon do not drink or do drugs. 

Ambien is a drug.  Please see https://www.drugs.com/ambien.html

In the link I provided previously he states that he takes ambien and drinks alcohol in order to sleep.

I dont believe it can be any clearer than that.

If you take a brilliant mind and let it work on full speed over years with no proper rest nor recovery, add different psychosis as a result of that and top it with different drugs then its performance is simply no longer brilliant - the functionality and especially the predictability may even be far less than average..

Your words sadly remind me of Howard Hughes.

" Musk had claimed it was suspicious the 63-year-old lived in Thailand before explicitly branding him a "paedo" in one post. "  That sounds like Musk is labeling all of us long standing expats in Thailand as paedos??

I am not a stock market man so some of this is over my head, but didn't I read recently that Musk was trying to buy up all the shares in Tesla for himself?  Wouldn't this would be a good way to have the share price drop, as it did with his first accusations, thus making it cheaper for him to buy out the company?

So lets take a count.  44 posts so far, 2 from mods re troll posts, 2 purely in support of McCaine and only 1 in support of the buffoon Trump.  So adding my vote making 45 posts, that makes it 41 against the man child to 1 for!

the Thais are very mature with their driving attitude, always giving way and ready to stop for people blocking the road to cross. This system would never work back home. Sadly I see foreigners here ready to blow the horn when only slightly inconvenienced on the roads, yelling and screaming acting childlike.

Well that confirms it, definitely a troll....and a troll who has never driven or even followed the news in Thailand.

I always have the window open my side with air con on.....and I always have done.  Yes I am a smoker but even when I am not smoking I have the window down. 

What is it with these people that think there is something wrong with it??  Do they think we should hide?  Do you have a problem with other people actually looking into your eyes or heaven forbid, smiling at you. 

Have you thought about a wearing a hijab or balaclava when you are forced to open your window or venture out of your car?/

I cant believe I am actually responding to such nonsense. 

Get some anti-paranoia medication and get a life!

Any idea where I can find "W"? Looked at all the obvious sites but can only find it with no seeds or leeches.

The GARDAÍ have issued a health warning on a batch of extra strength communion wafers which are believed to be flooding the country ahead of the Pope’s Phoenix Park gig later this month.

Poor little bugger, just imagine what he must have gone through.  RIP little man.
