Personally I am of the opinion 'Australia Day' should be moved to January 1. For those who don't know, the Commonwealth of Australia was created on 01/01/1901. 

IF & that's a Big IF, we change the date, January 1st would be appropriate choice.

Not sure, but certainly not older than 16.

Please don't take this as a flame or a put down.

But, why answer when you don't know ?

A 5 second search on Google produces pages of info on the subject.

Just sayin.

My recommendation would be   http://www.kavinburi.com/

Check it out on Booking.com

Service & location first class.

Hope this helps.

Me thinks English visitors were a blessing. Imagine the outcome if Spanish, Portuguese or Chinese had colonized.  

You guys just don't get it !!!

The tanks are to hold the subs. That way they are easily rescued & won't get stuck in the mud.

No need for dry dock, just drain the tank. When the generals wanna play, just refill the tank.

Kinda like a rubber duckie in the tub.

Might get a better response if you start a new thread. Topic here is bank account.

Or just as easy, ask Mr Google.

"Like many other countries, a driver's licence is required before someone can drive on any road in Thailand. Thai driver's licence is issued by the Department of Land Transport, Ministry of Transport and can be used throughout the Kingdom of Thailand and other ASEAN states.^[1]

The minimum age to drive a motor vehicle is 18 years old and 15 years old for motorcycle."

Just sayin.

I guess it's more important to have submarines than education?

In a newspaper we cannot quote this morning there's an excellent article about schools joining Intensive Care because they have insufficient resources. Nearly 2,500 lack school buildings or teaching materials and over 1,000 have teacher shortages.

Just imagine what the education department could do with B30bn??

3 subs vs an educated country.

When will the people stand up and be counted ......... Ah ... no education to count!!

Why in Buddha's name would all the generals want an educated public ? Educated people think & might even ask questions & heaven forbid, justification for some government decisions.

MichaelJohn, you are a silly boy.

Ah, DIY car repairs. When I first started driving (late 60s), DIY was the norm. I'm not a mechanic, but I did everything myself. Engine transplants (from the breaker's yard), bodywork, whatever. Of course in those days cars were much simpler. A Haynes manual, and anything was possible. These days, modern cars are a nightmare. Plug them into a computer and then pay big bucks for a (maybe) expert to fix the problem. And of course, these days, the problem is usually electronic. The mechanics are much better than when I was young. No mandatory oil leaks now. Just 'blue screen of death' issues, generally 

 

If I could buy a car with 2016 mechanicals, but without all the computer control units, electric windows, sensors and all the other gumph they bolt on, I'd buy it in a flash. Something where you can lift the bonnet and actually know what it is you're looking at, and if it's not working properly, fix it.

" hi…just wondered if anyone can help me out "

I agree with your sentiments, BUT, I can't find any advice or help in your post.

Just sayin.

So your saying the guy who braked for the snake is the one responsible ?

Absolutely !

Considering the possibility of human casualties, the life of the snake isn't even a consideration.

In many western countries the first driver would be guilty of dangerous driving.

Yes, the snake is majestic, but it's only a snake.

Thanks heaps for that. Much appreciated.  

Hi all. Some assistance please. I'm of the older generation & not all that IT au fait.

Situation. I have an older Garmin NUVI GPS. Australian maps installed in the unit & Thai maps on SD card. I need to update the Aussie maps, many changes to roads & streets since purchasing. I travel to Oz a few times a year. I have purchased an update, still in the mail, but unfortunately on CD. I need to transfer to SD card to insert in the GPS. Is this a simple process, ie, put CD & blank SD card into laptop & "transfer" ? Would this take a long time to transfer, if this is the way to go ?

I was thinking of NOT taking my laptop to Oz next trip & got a quote from a local computer shop in Oz to do the transfer for me. Quote was $50. I'm thinking that's a bit excessive, but I really don't know. Appreciate any info or advice offered.

Thanks.....     Mal.

Too many variables. I think it all depends on the individual vehicle.

Just my thinking.

only way it will work IS to ADD it to the electric bill,otherwise they will do what they do every day,CHUCK IT BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

Sorry, have to disagree. Maybe we live on a different planet, but we don't have an issue in our village. Local authority provides 200 lt. rubbish bin. Collection twice per week. The guys take anything placed in or beside the bin. Annual payment of 1,200 baht to village head man, with receipt. Very little, if any, rubbish in our Sois.

Just sayin.

Just out of interest. Why are you bringing with you ?

I'm up in the sticks & can get all, any fittings I need.

Why is this guy so stupid to take a regular flight to Phuket? Isn't he a master at avoiding detection?

Nope !

Dogs chase, bite, cats. Always have done, always will do.

It's a dog eat cat world out on the street.

Sorry, just the way it is.

No self respecting animal would bight a Pom !!!  said tongue in cheek.  

I've just opened Isaan forum & there you are.  :-)

Oh, one point I forgot to mention. Some of my mold is on walls. Can't get much more of a fall than vertical !

Oh, a back pedal now. So you acknowledge there just might be an issue with mold on concrete. Even acknowledging additives available for such a problem. Well done you !

Don't really need your advice thanks Neville. I've been researching this topic for a lengthy time & have found a positive solution.

But, seeing you are so concerned, the concrete was laid prior to my arrival. I had no involvement in it's composition or laying.

Might I suggest you just quietly bow out. Your original comment was negative & incorrect. Best you don't attempt to squirm out now. 

I  very much doubt your sincerity about being sorry for my expenditure. Let's all just move on.

Never ceases to amaze. OP posts a genuine question asking for advice. Along comes a Neville Nobody, & not knowing all the facts or at least asking the OP for more info, dives straight in with his negative & pointless comment.

If you don't have something positive, or at least humorous to contribute, why bother ???

Yes, I know, smart arse reply coming.

Serious really !!  Not negative response at all we sweep and wash ours and keep it clean. 

Well, aren't you just a precious little trinket.  You don't think most people wash the affected areas ?

Unfortunately, in a lot of instances the concrete is very poor quality, finish, & no amount of washing will eliminate the problem permanently. If the concrete is even slightly porous, no amount of cleaning helps. I can pressure wash with detergent & then squeegee dry & the mold is back next morning. Very time consuming & unhealthy especially if young kids playing on the effected areas.

If you care to research the issue, including here on TV, you will find many have this problem.
