What a surprise. NOT.

Soiling and spoiling their own soil, why should it be any better with the waters ...?!

Can't imagine it's anything to do with effluent discharges from a plethora of sources into the poor suffering Gulf. ?

Nature has a way of indicting that something is out of balance!!!

A mate went but haven't spoken with him yet. 

1st race is on YouTube. 

Yawn yawn...

LOL> You had ONE coffee there too? My cappuccino was a cup of foam. She's in a great location, but very quiet. You'd think someone would be honest with her so she could learn the right way to make coffee and of course, some money.

Yes I agree although some people are unable to listen to suggestions. 

I wonder if she is open to actually making money???

Its a hit or a miss really .  I prefer the coffee I make at home. 

 

Agreed. If I had a coffee machine at home I'd never go out ???

It's quite tricky getting the right combination of a good quality latte, air conditioning, WiFi, service and price.

There's also one on Treppasit opposite the market area. Helpful staff and they have a good selection but not everything. 

Homeworks is also not bad.

Truly bizarre.

Apparently.the brightly painted new buses driving around are the old OAT busses that were confiscated.

This would not surprise us would it???☺

It's better than the place upstairs next to the Dtac stand.

Insipid  (the latte not Dtac) ?

Correct. 

And they wonder  (do they actually??) why traffic jams happen every day!!

Losing 1 and/or lanes of a street/soi therefore compounding the problem even more!!!

The madness of...

Screwdriver through the head.

25 years here and I think this country has massive problems.

Education education education please please please!!!

Step into the 21st century!!

I suppose this happens all over the world. Right???

If they 'Do the right thing ' after a few decades the right thing will become the norm. No???

Can only just seen the limp cash there hiding behind the hard boxes ☺

Education is never impossible...... it works in the west.

 

 

Education may be too late for many current smokers but at least educate the next generations.

Agreed. Like any addiction extremely difficult to kick it into touch.

Great stuff. 

Now enforce it!

 Soil type  PH ,  is a  factor, acid / alkaline ? .   

Haven't a clue as I bought them in the old Big C north Pattaya which is now called Central something. I can't remember. 

There was a smashing plant fair there last weekend. I was actually surprised how the whole place looked compared to the scruffy dump it has been for the last 23 years. At the end of the day they are all much of a muchness aren't they.

I would like to know those soil parameters. 

Thanks.

That will be expensive rosemary...
Have you calculated the cost of running A/C 24/7 just for a few stupid plants.
That's insane.

Yeah I keep my air conditioning on anyway and it's typically about 1200 baht per month so no big deal. 

We're alldifferent.

Cheers. Will repot over the weekend. 

Thailand the land of carnage. Let's hope that he makes a full recovery and the authorities commit to proactive road safety in the very near future!!!

They certainly look very healthy.

 

Do they get any direct sunlight at all?

Only for a few hours on a morning through one way glass. I'll keep you informed. 

Here are my plants. Almost a week now. The air conditioning on 24/7 Set at 25 °C.

It could of course also be that the sales guy got more commission if he sold a Honda motorcycle.

Bought it at another dealer however I can see your point. 

This is so easy to eradicate!

Put a Stallion next to any of the Japanese bikes and then all will be revealed. 

Plain and simple. 

I was going to buy the 150 café racer for 66k 3 years ago until the salesman on Sukhumvit talked me out of it as I was asking about quality and such.

I ended up paying 48k for a Honda Cub. 22 000 kms later Ican honestly say that I have never had any problems with it.

Well, 60m super cubs in 55 years says it all. 

Hope this helps. 

It looks good on paper and looks good in a photo but you wait until you actually see one. 

The word 'quality ' isn't in their vocabulary. 

I'm going to try again as yesterday I bought 4 pots of rosemary from Big C. 300 baht. 

I've already unsuccessfully tried it on the balcony and have come to the conclusion that it's simply too hot. (Pattaya).

I'm now keeping the air conditioning on 2/47 at 25 °C and have placed the pots next to the balcony doors in an attempt allow sunshine for the plants in the morning. 

Over watering is a common problem and I'll keep it to twice a week using dirty water from the fishtank. 

I'll take a photo when I get back to the condo. 

Best of luck.
