I have a similar problem deciding on the height, and I think that the best way would be for us to put our hand and lower arm straight out, as though we are actually holding the cane. Then get somebody to measure the height to give a reasonable starting point. That gives 3 choices. 1 Order a cheap cane of that height. 2 Order the cane that you want in that height or perhaps 1 inch higher, which you could cut back a little if it is too high. 3 Order 2 canes, one at the measured height and one an inch higher and return the one that doesn't fit.

Perhaps this Lazada link may help. https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=wooden+walking+sticks&_keyori=ss&from=input&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.search.go.585a44edWnlUgD

So many cynical posts about a young girl who obviously loves her Mum a lot. Good for the young girl. I for one am proud of you.

The soi dog problem nationwide has no one solution that would be acceptable to all sides. IMHO a lot can be traced back to the Thai version of Buddhism where due to 'karma' you are reborn as something better or worse than what you are in your existing life. I personally don't believe that. I do believe however that most Thai dog owners buy dogs, or get them from a temple or the soi, without the slightest idea how to look after a dog and all that entails, and just push them out into the soi to scavenge food and water where they can, when they become a nuisance and become unwanted. People in the west are taught differently and the majority of owners care for their dogs, registering them, getting them chipped etc. Having said that there is usually a surplus of perfectly healthy 'cuddly' animals dumped at the animal welfare centres around February and March when the excitement of the Xmas puppy has won off.

I was counting all of Thailand not just Bangkok as the soi dog problem is nationwide and not just Bangkok so where would YOU relocate them to? Who would decide which, and how many dogs, would be considered a nuisance? i have no dogs any more and at 78 I wouldn't be able to look after them, however since you asked, over the 18 years we have lived here we have had 3 generations of them, so around 15. I had the last 2 put down as they became chicken and duck killers, which is not nice when we kept chickens and ducks as did our neighbours. My neighbour had 3 dogs and a bitch. One dog was killed running into a scooter and the rider was taken to hospital. Of course NOBODY claimed ownership of the dog. Now they have 2 dogs, 1 bitch and 3 puppies. The animals are fed and watered and left to wander freely anywhere. None have collars or tags, none are trained, all of them are shouted at when they bark or fight each other. They get little or no TLC. What would you do about them?

If you are on overstay, one thing to do is to keep your head down, not cause any problems and fly under the radar. The best thing to do of course, is to keep your visa up to date and not be a problem to anyone.

I had never heard of the verge so I Googled it. Then I did another search and ended up with Reuters who I have heard of, and they tell a different story. To be fair these were posted before Musk took over. But people choose to read and believe the news stories that they want to believe nowadays and ignore the ones they don't like. I am not, never have been, and never will be a Twitter user. I prefer to read a story, rather than have it truncated to 480 characters including punctuation and spaces. https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-where-did-tweeters-go-twitter-is-losing-its-most-active-users-internal-2022-10-25/ Exclusive: Twitter is losing its most active users, internal documents show.

What I did when I shared my library was simply posted the hard drive they were on to my mate and he copied the library to his hard drive and sent mine back.

It is most probably doomed anyway, with or without either of them. The rats, sorry, party hoppers, are already leaving for other parties. IMHO anybody who jumps once won't hesitate to jump again. There used to be a UK TV show, called the Price is Right, and their saying was "Come on down, the price is right". Aptly named for Thai politicians.

Run into it with your car or pickup and see how many people claim it as theirs. Ask their names and addresses and explain that the insurance people along with the police, will be coming around to collect thousands of baht to repair the damage to the car. Then you will find the owner, IF there is anybody left.

Just where would you relocate all the millions of soi dogs to? A different province perhaps or another village or temple, as long as they are not near your place? That is a typical selfish NIMBY attitude. A sort of good, all the soi dogs have gone, they are now somebody else's problem.

They have the right to advertise where and when they like, in exactly the same way that you have the right to buy their products or not. I don't expect that they will be heartbroken if you don't buy their products.

Looking at the original photo I would think that the drainage gully at the top would need to be at least 1.5 metre square, with 1 metre drainage pipes every 15 to 20 metres apart and running the whole length plus of the slope, and the pipes need to go in first before any piling. As for the piling and filling, I have no idea other than it will be huge and very expensive IF it is done correctly. However TIT.

Then like me you probably use an ad-blocker.

That will require at least 4 extra staff working a 3 shift rota working 8 hour shifts and rotating every week, unless they shift those camera feeds to an actively monitored panel full time.

I go to the general hardware nuts/bolts/batteries/tools/batteries/tractor spares shop in the big village and but it in a 5 litre container. I can't remember the price, but I decant it into a smaller bottle for easier use.

Well there is this from the BBC News website this morning. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63524219 Twitter's new owner Elon Musk has defended sacking about half the company's workforce, saying he had "no choice" as Twitter was losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day. A tweet from Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of safety and integrity, referred to "approximately 50% cuts company-wide". But Mr Musk said the social media giant's commitment to content moderation was "absolutely unchanged". There is more on the link.

November 2003 for me.

On my desk is my pc which I use most of the time, my sort of smart phone which is used for phone calls and my tablet that I use for reading Ebooks and playing the odd game. I might not use my phone for 2 or 3 days at a time. but I use my pc most of the day and my tablet for an hour or so in the evenings.

Fine. THEN every Thai who owns land and property offshore, MUST sell it off at the price they paid and return the money to Thailand.

They been to where my wife's house is twice. The first time was with an army patrol as somebody had told them we had a rifle. Not strictly correct, though there was a broken BB rifle belonging to the guy who worked for our neighbour. After it was explained to them they asked politely if we minded if they could look around. No problem, and they even took off their shoes to go into the house. As they left they apologised and explained that they had to follow up on the report. The second time was 3 years ago when the Immigration police came to check if i actually lived here. 3 of them came in a pickup, talked to my wife and a couple of neighbours (and me). They took some photos and went away quite happily and have not returned since. We offered them cold drinks an food if they were hungry. They accepted the cold drinks but not the food. There was no mention of tea money or petrol money. That is all the visits we have had from the police in over 18 years.

Dealing with the real criminal will probably take several lifetimes especially if he concentrates on the police, as he is surrounded by them on all sides, as well as above and below.

I do hope so though that would probably lead to yet another coup.

IMHO the senate alone will not allow this to happen as the majority will be kicked out of the senate and will lose all their power, perks and salaries. They were selected and NOT elected by the current PM and owe their loyalty and positions to him and his cronies alone.
