That's a fine looking dog you found there!

I've had as many as three dogs in my house and found the tick shampoos and powders ineffective. There is an injectable medicine that does work and lasts about 45 days. If your tick problem persists please feel free to PM me and i'll get the name for you. A years supply costs about 30 baht. It's most commonly used for cattle and buffaloes.

Good luck with your pooch.

3BB is now pounding their accounts receivable for money. It looks like they are in the market for an expensive equipment upgrade somewhere. JAS has always been reliable for me, even in the pre-broadband era, with Asia Telecom.

I had a one meter long water monitor (lizard) turn up in my courtyard.

2AM one morning I woke up and opened the door to go out into the courtyard for some fresh air. Immediately after opening the door my seven cats came screaming into the house terrified. The beast was lost and disoriented. They are quite slow moving, in the cold season, and I whacked it on the head a couple of times with a heavy pipe hoe. The second whack killed it.

I gave it to the neighbors, they burned the skin off, and ate it, Thai style. (after cooking it). I tasted, it tastes a lot like cobra.

Use a long heavy blunt object and bash it in the head. They are not aggressive... in the cold season.

Mr. 96, You do realise that monitor lizards are protected species In Thailand, don't you?

Before your post I did not realize that. Now I do.

I learn something every day on TV.

Seems the reliability of 3BB goes down the drain.... today no chance at all to get e.g. http://www.sea-bees.com/ or http://www.df.eu/ or http://www.wurzelimperium.de/ here on Phuket... Calling the different no. from 3BB no one picks up... omg... well then back to VPN ....

A simpler workaround to a VPS is a socks-proxy for web only. With Tor you can choose specific node for web use and the rest of your connection can use the standard 3BB routings. This is less processor intensive than using a VPN for everything, and it costs nothing.

Thanks OP as I have been directed here, I have been living with pic related in one section of a back room and it also covers the section outside the front door to my gate. Is it safe? It has drill holes in it obviously when it was put in place but since then not touched, it's an old house and I have rented here for half a year. Cheers

The photo shows the typical roofing tiles used everywhere in Thailand. I think it is safest to assume they contain asbestos.

Asbestosis is caused by the inhalation and retention of asbestos fibers. It usually occurs after high intensity and/or long-term exposure to asbestos (particularly in those individuals working on the production or end-use of products containing asbestos) and is therefore regarded as an occupational lung disease.

Get rid of the whole corrupt apology of a lottery!

the whole thing needs to be scrapped and modernised

There may have been infrastructure issues in the past but not now, Thailand is well served with a communication network that could now support an electronic distribution network

Time to move into the 21st century

Yes. But what to do about the sellers, the people who earn their living at the last stage selling the tickets. Automated computerized sales will put sales in the hands of 7/11 (CP All).

Anuban (nursery school) from ages 3-5. Optional. Years referred to as anuban 1 (A1), anuban 2 (A2), &c..

Thank for your contribution AyG but this looks incorrect. I have a child in grade 1. He's 6.5 y/o and just started Anuban 1. And he's already gone through 4 years of nursery school. Maybe I am wrong?

The IRS in the USA has ruled that Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies are to be treated an property for taxation purposes. Has Bitcoin actually been banned in Thailand?

I've opened an asbestos thread here.

Does anyone know if the very common roofing tiles used everywhere in Thailand contain asbestos? They are often colored on one side , however the base material is grey and on close inspection contains a fibrous material that looks a lot like asbestos.

I have been told by professionals (westerners) in the environmental business that asbestos is perfectly safe if it is bound in roofing tiles and left undisturbed, that it is only the dust produced e.g. from cutting asbestos shingles with a saw that poses a health risk when the dust is inhaled. Is this true or not?
