Isn't that the whole idea ? Fill, file, sand & paint.

I remember the story of Moses and the commandments.

Wasnt it like this?

Moses was up on the mount, and then the voice of God called to him in all its power and glory, saying, "Moses its obvious to me that all the people have got way out of hand, with the golden calf and all that s#it. I am very pissed off, so i am going to tell you how to live, these are my rules for the  jewish faith.These rules will be cast in stone so that you and your people will never forget.Do you agree to this?" Moses thought for a minute and being a wise man said "ok lord but how much are they" God said "well, er, nothing" so Moses said, "Ok i'll have ten".I do make me laugh sometimes!.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Moses, come forth !  But Moses being old & feeble, tripped & came fifth. 

I recently bought some epoxy metal filler at HomePro. It wasn't marked as an Auto product but did ok for me on some metal repairs. Not on a car though. Sorry, forget the name.

Hope this helps.

I live about 25km from Sakon Nakhon. Quite near our house is a highway police  station. The station is directly beside a set of traffic lights at a T junction. Often, regurarly see BIB outside the station watching the traffic, having a smoke. Three & 4 on a bike, no helmet, straight through red light. Trucks & busses through red light. Bikes at night with no lights.

Have NEVER witnessed any action by BIB. You think the motoring public will take any notice of any road rules ??? Me think not !

"I would like to see the law changed to no more than 2 riders on a motorcycle"

It is already the law, but like most, never enforced. There's also a law about riding side saddle on a motorbike , as a lot of women do, but law never enforced.

Just saying.

What about a next regulation: no more than 2 persons on a motorbike...?

I think if you care to check the road regs, it's been illegal for more than 2 on a motorbike for quite some time.

I seem to recall the wording goes something like .....   the motor bike can only legally transport the number of people as stipulated by the manufacturer ....  or words to that effect.

When did it become 400,00 baht? I thought it was 800,000 baht for 2 months or 65,000 baht a month.

800,000 for retirement extension. 400,000 for extension based on marriage.

Hey Malt25 you should start up a Queenslander Club in Sakon Nakhon in readiness for State of Origin *1 ???

Me thinks your's truly would be chairman, secretary, barman, cheer squad & only member. But a good idea.

Why not go to the local auto upholstery shop & get one made ? You can chose your color & fitting method, clips or cord.

I've had several things made here locally in the village shop.

Just a thought.

I don't mean to be disrespectful & realize I'll get flamed for this, BUT, why would anyone want to take the ashes of a deceased anywhere ? Surely the fond, loving memories of past loved ones is all you need.

But hey, just my opinion.

I'd hardly think having the equivelant of about $15,000 in the bank one would qualify as even moderately wealthy. I survive quite comfortably on the Oz aged pension here & can still scrape up 400,000 baht for Thai bank deposit.

If you can't put your hands on this amount, pity help you in time of an emergency.

Wouldn't having the prescribed amount of money in the bank solve your problem ?

Just wondering.

Yawn !

Hard to find? Maybe try a termos!

Oops, my mistake. It was a 500ml thermos that I purchased. Not a basic water bottle.

Sorry.

How is the camera pictured powered? There are no wires running to it.

Looking at the photo, it looks like the dash cam has been photo shopped onto the main pic just to show what a dash cam looks like.

Just my opinion.

"1 out of 4 people have their own business in Thailand, so learning excel can help." 

Well, I didn't know that. You've already started your Thai career. You just taught me something.

I'd be interested in knowing where you did your lesson research. 25% of Thais own a business. I think if you included motorbike taxi riders, taxi drivers, mum & pop shop owners & the like, your 25% would be far off the mark.

But hey, just my opinion.

Don't sweat it. As I've said before, you could bring in a body as long as you don't declare it. Customs guys not at all interested. You have more chance of winning 1st division lotto than being checked by Thai customs.

It was 4am. You were pissed. You were at an Arab bar. You were wearing slippers.

I'm not quite sure if I should be sympathetic or stop laughing to myself.

If you don't have much other luggage why not just take as checked baggage ?

I had a similar situation about 18 months back. I purposely packed clothes very light so I could use my baggage allowance for the tool box.

Go, be a devil, tell us all. Don't keep us in suspense.

Thoroughly recommend     http://www.littleitalianrestaurant.net/menu.html  great pizza.

Mr Google will show you where.

I must be one of the lucky ones. The only TV my missus watches is Thai volley ball. Some games are pretty good viewing.
