Is the bin for the unwanted photos or the OP ?

I've had mid range dental work done in both Chiang Mai & Sakon Nakhon. Both times female dentists. Very modern surgery & equipment. Would thoroughly recommend both.

Kevvy, ol mate. You don't think that was said tongue in cheek. A bit of sarcasm ? Lighten up.

I've used them twice. No problems.

If I were in your predicament, I'd email Alibaba & enquire as to their retailers in LOS. Might work. You have nothing to lose.

How to understand Thai ladies ? First of all, they are not ladies.

 

The easiest way to understand them is to look at the whole country.

Look at how work / behave ; policemen , immigration officials, government,

taxi drivers, a woman from a stall.

 

Thai women are like the rest of Thai citizens you meet . Thai women are the mothers

of this policemen who gives you fines even though you had all the papers OK

or the mothers of this taxi drivers with whom you were traveling with the meter

on triple acceleration...

Me thinks you should get out & about a bit more & broaden your horizons. Just maybe your attitude & demeanor have something to do with the people you encounter.

I didn't brake the mirror open, but I suggest that the mirror would have a little battery inside to store the settings.

 

So, all electronic shops in Thailand are forbidden to send anything out of Thailand that contains a battery?

Yes, and pigs can fly.
 

Even Lazada will send electronic devices abroad with a big smile.

 

The question is how they manage to ship these things.
 

BTW, this mirror was send from China INTO Thailand.
Without problem.
Thus Thailand accepts that electronic devices are shipped into the country, but not out their country.
That's the most stupid idea I have seen in my life if that would be true.

If this is the most stupid idea you have seen in your life, you have a very easy, lay back, crusy life.

Yes but she isnt going to want to sell the house in her village so owning 50% is a moot point

 

I'm sure any divorce judge would consider HIS 50%, entitled him to take everything that wasn't bolted down. I'd be taking, or giving away everything that I had paid for, that could be removed. But, after the anger & all other negative emotion had subsided, I'd settle for something a bit more painful for her. Make sure the divorce was finalized & leak that you had just won several million $$$$ in the lottery. Me thinks that would be agony for her.

But hey, that's just me.

Firstly, welcome aboard. Secondly, I guess you are NOT in Thailand & have never been here. No one can provide accurate advice if we don't know where you wish to purchase said bicycle. However,  there's not a village, town or city in the country that doesn't have a multitude of bike shops.

Cheers. Happy & SAFE cycling.

Actually know of another secluded house that may still be available for rent in Roi Et.

Two storey 2/3 bed house in a half rai of land.

In a cul de sac, 300m off the main ring road, very few houses, nearest probably 50m away.

Open fields/woodland to the sides and rear.

Due to it's isolated spot and surroundings several visitors of the slithery kind tend to occasionally visit.

 

Previous tenant was a farang teacher, lived there several years.

Believe the rent is 5,000 baht.

"Thais not interested, afraid of the ghosts."  Not very educated locals. If they remove the bike tail light globe the ghosts can't follow them home.

Malt,

Try online pharmacies in India. Google for numerous choices.I have imported a few generics a number of times and they will usually ship regular type mail.

Good luck]Lefty

Thanks for that.

Thanks Sheryl. No, not cheap at all. Had the local pharmacy get me 28 days supply, collected yesterday. Valosine. 2600 baht. Ouch !  I contacted  UNION MEDICAL about 12-18 months ago re 12 month purchase. No luck with price reduction.

If someone wants to steal your luggage then it doesn't matter if you wrap it or not. Don't see the point in doing this. I've been traveling frequently for over 20 years, have never locked or wrapped it and have never had anything from my luggage stolen or have someone put something in it.

Regarding smugglers and illicit stuff: what am I missing here?  Why would someone want to slip something into my baggage?  For whose benefit?  How would the intended recipient at the other end of the flight know to tap me on the shoulder and ask for the goods that were intended for him?  All of this is with the condition that the authorities did not discover it along the way.

 

Obviously, I'm not a very good detective in sleuthing this kind of thing.

"Obviously, I'm not a very good detective in sleuthing this kind of thing."  If nothing else, you got that right.

It is technically illegal to import medications through the mail unless you have a pharmacological import license from the FDA, which you cannot get.

 

In practice, customs will usually let through small quantities if sent by regular post, assuming not a controlled substance. If sent by a courier it will be rejected by customs as they will ask you to produce said license.

 

What is the medication? There are often inexpensive locally made versions available under different brand name.

Hi Sheryl. Thanks for that.

You have offered advice on this topic, to me, some time back. I have found a few pharmacies that can provide the medication, but it appears very expensive to me.

It's  Effexor, 150mg. I'm more than happy to go with a generic brand. Generic is what I usually bring back from Oz.

I'll welcome any info, advice.

Thanks again.

Mal.
