Seeing you know of the issue, ever thought of taking a stroll & collecting your mail ?

Just a thought.

Did you get a receipt for the 400 baht ?

Welcome aboard Marttram.

No problem at all. I always bring in similar product when I return. As I've said several times, you could bring a body through customs, as long as you don't declare it.

Is Canada part of America?

Yes, so is Mexico. There are 2 Americas. North & South. America is a continent, not a country.

It's amazing how many refer to the USA as America.

"North American"..................just the one then?

Would this one North American be from Canada, USA or Mexico ?

Just wondering.

Funny countries don't like lights on in daylight. Cars and bikes all have daylight running lights in NA. I just makes you more visable.  I don't understand the reason that they have to be off. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

 

I think you know the answer ...  " Funny countries "

To be safe, make sure you have good insurance.  With evacuation if possible.

I doubt if insurance will make you any safer. It may make life more manageable after an accident though. 

Ever thought of trying Mr Google ?

NA = North America. So could be Canada, USA or Mexico ?

Doesn't it all depend on how much you want the article ?

My mother has been sending packages here for over 30 years and I've never once had to pay customs anything.

 

She used to send all my kids comics and presents at least every month. Also, birthdays and Xmas. 

 

But, this year she has said it is too expensive to send stuff and is going to stop in the future.

Would you be good enough to explain what your dear ol mum's expense of sending your kids gifts has to do with  the OP ?  Just wondering.

Macahoom if you think you are funny I can tell you that you are not. Singapore is closer to equator but they bring a few ships with xmas trees every year. 

Rubbish ! A few ship loads of Christmas trees. More like a container of said trees, on one or possibly 2 ships.

Oh, I think it was pretty funny.

Yes a super star in where? Her village or this bubble they live in.shes hardly,Adele,Madona,Beyoncé material.

Umm, where, let's see. Maybe here in Thailand, you think ?

To Thais she's a super star. Thais don't compare her with your line up, so to them she is a super star.

Get my drift ?

So who is who in the photo ? They all look guilty.

 

And NO finger pointing ???

Similar to as said above. I walk for kilos around the countryside here & ride the bike all over the place, alone. Feel much safer here than in many "multicultural " zones back in Oz.

But I'm sure if I went looking for trouble, it would easily find me.

Probably why I keep to myself and only talk to the girls!

And you get meaningful dialogue from the girls ?

Are you a true blue Aussie or an import ? Most of us genuine articles are pretty thick skinned, have a somewhat warped sense of humor & manage to sift through the forum & take what we want & leave the rest.

Maybe your idea of taking a girl & heading back home has some merit for you.

Firstly, I would like to congratulate the lady concerned on a job well done, I truly believe that it is high time more women stood up to this kind of behavior, I wonder how often rape occurs in marriages or long term relationships ? Far too many men believe it is their God/Buddha given right to have sex anytime they damn well please, time to turn the tables ladies.

 

Secondly can someone in TVF management please ensure that words like Bad, Nasty, SCUM, Pimple, Bum boil etc be removed from use on this forum, it upsets people very much and heaven forbid we upset people with sensitive natures.

SCUM, SCUM, SCUM. Ah, now I feel better.

Thanks A.    But not sure meaning of   "the local Bill"  and "appropriate lunch".   

Is  this generalised or something I don't know about in Bkk?

Not Aussie slang I don't think.

reckon its about someone appropriate and taking a trip maybe?? 

 

Come on Joe, wakey wakey. I'm an old Aussie & I understand completely what was written. Local Bill ... local BIB. Appropriate lunch, as in bottle of booze, free meal, bribe, brown envelope. You know, motivation money.

Everyone has missed the most vital part of this story. The house was on stilts.

"Illegal elephant"  does that mean it's a bastard ?

The OP can not edit the title.

I have done that.

Hope it is acceptable and helps to attract attention?

More than acceptable. Thanks BIG dog.

Cam, can I suggest you change the heading of your post ?

My guess is that most younger members wouldn't relate cobbler to shoe repair. Only us old farts would know what you are referring to.

Cobbler .....   a fruit pie with a thick upper crust and no bottom crust that is baked in a deep dish.

I passed over your post several times before taking a look. I originally thought you were looking for a bakery or cake shop.

Hope this helps.

I don't fully understand your question.

Do you want to purchase/order a particular book ?

I order/ purchase all my books from DASA in Bangkok.   http://www.dasabookcafe.com/

Extensive  range of books. Great service. Not expensive.

Hope this helps.

Ever thought of Mr Google ?
