had no choice but to pay with a 100 dollar bill. No problem sir. This would never happen in Thailand.????

Of course not.  Shops here do not do foreign exchange US 100 dollar bills.  Never have.

DOES it really really matter???????

all that matters is that it is not fit for drinking

Yes.  The op wants to know hard or soft but a little bit either way has no practical impact outside laboratories.  And the significance of hard or soft and how much depends on the situation being considered which the op leaves unstated untill just now, the post above.  And even with his post above, how hard is hard?  What ph?

My bum gun is caked with white deposits.

That tells the answer.

Black gunk too short a time to create scale deposits.

Soap works ok unless water is very hard.

Play with your silly drama as you wish

or take a jar of your water and get the ph tested,  pool maintenance kit tests ph, amphur office, shop that sells  and services house water filters 

Do you have white or grey scale around the holes on your bum sprayer, shower or faucet tips? Yes=hard.

Tried calling 053 221 016, the only # I've found for Chiang Mai Amphur, and got a Fax tone.

 

Anyone have a better #?

 

So send them a fax.

I too would like to try Chouquettes if they have first rate baguettes! Can you be more specific on where it is located. I am not very familiar with that part of town. Thanks!

Outside the moat at the north east corner of the moat, turn left towards KamTiang and JJ market but go only about  about 11 meters from the corner and turn left into their shared parking lot.

It is set back with several other shops.

Chouquette Bakery and Cafe just north of the northeast corner of the moat makes absolutely superb baguettes. 

 

Yes what a great find.  Thanks.

And for sure would never buy a cellphone off any of those sites, only brick and mortar shop. 

Apple online store is fine as are those of other major producers.

How difficult is it to use the web?

Not very but it is much easier to get bad information by blah blah then spread it widely.

Unfortunately Hang Dong/Pro Auto is a bit farther than I was hoping for - roundtrip transport will cost me as much as the haircut,

You never said what area you wanted.  
 

Songtaeo or two would get you there very cheap, why can’t you use them?

Got some problems, yeah.

Do they only sell one detergent there?

You really need to get out and look around if you can.  Spend an hour browsing Macro. 

Not me, I can login and access the form to fill out.

Your vpn turned off?

Cal Tex stations often have a wash. They do my pickup for 120 Baht.  Not a detail job but a good wash and vac.
