I did the same a couple of months ago, as adhesive i roughly poured some old paint I had left over on the existing tiles , let dry one day and then fixed the new tiles with "crocodile" cement. result is perfect.

Shave before shower, then leave all doors and windows open

Kacha resort , should be around 3000 thb in november but worth every bath . We will certainly stay there again next time.

And what would the calculation look like if you change the purchase price to 6 million baht (and 10 million sales price). Would that make a difference?

Seems like an illegal activity to me 

Yes it is the Surin border crossing. Cambodia visa is about 1000 baht. There are no fees on Thai side of border.

I have crossed there three times, and each time they tried to charge me 200 - 300 baht at the Thai side. Just get your stamp and tell them you paid already.

Never heard of the Thai Arrival charging T money only the Cambodian Arrival/Departure Office which is directly across from the Cambodian visa shack. BTW both of these are in Cambodia.

Correct , it is that office. It is not like they ask T money, they just give your stamp and say "200 bath". They do not insist when you refuse to pay. Maybe not always, but it happened to me and last month to my German neighbour (he did not know and paid).

I paid 75.000 THB for 200m about 4 years ago everything included: labour , steel net and concrete (Cpac). Phrae province.

There are TV specialists on almost every topic... but cardboard ???

How did you destroy the card ? I once cut an expired card in two and showed both halfs. It was accepted (China Airlines).

To me Nakhonchai Air is the best. Dont remember what time they leave Surin , but arrive Pattaya around 5 pm.

The Golden class does stop not in Korat, takes the direct route so saves you a lot of time and hassle.

They have their own terminal a little north of the city (of Surin).

- The two meter copper stake should be enough to ground the whole system. Better to plant it in soil that is more or less moist the whole year, like close to a water well.

- Make sure you have a seperate grounded wire available in the area where you will put appliances like fridges, washing machines : some need to be grounded by a seperate wire, meaning there is no ground wire in the plug.

- I would add a dedicated circuit for the sockets outside or garage (or any socket that might get humid) ... or invaded by those micro-ants

Maybe that is true, i also wondered why there are so many pages in the book, but then, how come I have the book and no one else ? Is it my book or not ?

Last week I went to get my 5 year driving licence and they wanted proof of residence, either a letter from immigration or the yellow book.

I did not fancy going to the corrupt immigration office at Kap Choeng so I said to the misses, lets go to the Amhpur and see what documents they need for the yellow book. Arrived there they said , if married, all we need is your passport (and a few copies) and the wife's id card ( I always have half a dozen passport-size photos in my wallet). And I had to write down the names of father and mother (in English). That was it ! after a few signatures and stamps , 20 minutes later I had my yellow book , costs zero baht. And another 30 minutes later I had my 5 year driving licence.

So before getting nervous about which documents are needed, just go to the Amphur and ask first.

the negative posts here, just the way he would have wanted it...lou will never die

I remember the 500 baht exit fee from not so long ago.

Yes , a tourist then I had spent my last Baht in Thailand and then suddenly had to find 500 extra some way or another. Then you realise it is a lot of money.

Suppose it is included in the ticket now.

either the tarmac is ok or it is not. if not ok they should have cancelled the race, not impose stupid ad hoc rules that anyone could misunderstand since they have been changed by the hour. dont know why lorenzo puts up such a show about winning tbe race, later he admits that marquez would probably have ended one or two.

What will happen to the tow-away-truck while the driver triple parks during his lunch-break ?

I just love it when my wife watches these operas, gives me a chance to have a drink at the local bar and discuss existensialism with the wannabee psychiatrist who calls himself Dr Crane

Just mist your last post, yes I would recommend the second option, certainly under current weather conditions. Maybe take the KK option on the way back ?

I dont know what your intention is , the road beween KK and Phitsanulok passes through two national parks , each time a scenic 2 lane road so dont count on an average of more than 40 km/h there. The other half of the distance is ok and they were converting most straights to 4 lane last time I past there a few months ago.

It took me about 6 hours to cover the 320 km (including short lunch break)... and I am not a slow driver ... and the road was dry .

If you follow Google directions, dont take the 24 from Surin but take the 226 (Buriram - Korat (Nakon ratchasima) ) instead. The 24 is very damaged and there is a lot less traffic on the 226. Uttaradit is a nice place to stop and to buy fruit.

Just take your thai family out for a ride, there will be enough weight on the rear ...

Good thing we know which room it was. I HATE it when people who call themselves journalists leave out information like that.

Well, I sure would not like to stay in room 220 in any hotel in that area ...
