I don't know because I live in a "partially serviced apartment" which has weekly maid cleaning service included as part of the rental contract.

 

I'm sure the OP finds your reply most helpful.

Cheap Charlie = Cheap Insult.

NO insult intended. Post was offered tongue in cheek. I guess you are devoid of the humour gene.

But, on a serious note, how can you factor in "an insult" ? Isn't walking the cheapest mode of transport ? Bet you are the life of any party.

And you believe that should not be pointed out?  We often make decisions we regret due to lack of information - a forum is the place to help people avoid by providing such cautions to be sure they are aware of all factors.

56,000 posts in about 13 years, an average of about 10 posts a day !

Ever thought of getting a hobby ? Oops, you have a hobby. Posting.

If you really are a Cheap Charlie, walking is the cheapest option. But don't forget to factor in the cost of your shoes, assuming you don't go barefoot.

Never ceases to amaze. Someone asks a question on a SPECIFIC topic, freight costs. Gets a reply waffling on about natural disasters & corruption.

Sounds like the OP has decided to relocate to Philippines.

Why should Trump accept the election results? From the UNLV debate transcript:

 

"I’ll tell you on other thing. She shouldn't be allowed to run. It's -- she's guilty of a very very serious crime. She should not be allowed to run. And just in that respect I say it's rigged because she should never have been allowed to run for the presidency based on what she did with e-mails and so many other things."

 

See -- the whole thing isn't legit because she should really be in jail and if she were in jail then she couldn't be running or maybe even allowed to vote! (Except she isn't in jail)

 

 

Hillary mightn't be a legitimate contender, maybe she's a criminal. But, on the other hand, Daffy Donald is obviously insane & should be committed to the appropriate institution. 

Like some recently said, you guys get 50 candidates for Miss America & just two candidates for the most powerful position on the planet. The best you can come up with is Hillarious & Daffy.

GOD save the world.

Somewhat like asking what's the best beer or the best car. Ask a 100 people & likely you'll get a 100 different answers.

Try & bypass all the popular tourist spots & I'm sure you'll find plenty of "best places"

Just my opinion.

I'd also roughen up the old concrete a bit to ensure better adhesion.

OP; why don't you just walk in your bank, tell them what you are doing and ask for advice ?

Hey, steady on there digger. Too many logical suggestions like yours & we won't need TV anymore.

More like trying their hardest to detach you from your money?The whole thing stinks I honestly wouldn't touch it with a barge pole if I were you!

You sound like a bitter & twisted bloke. We've all been burnt in someway by a female. Get over it, move on. Not every Thai girl is a gold digger.

Mornin all. Some assistance please.

For a start, I'm of the older generation & not all that IT savvy. But, I can usually make my way through stuff. Please keep any technical replies in easy to understand language.  :-)

I've recently read  something about internet TV, I know nothing about this. I'm wondering if my current subscriptions for internet, TV & phone service might be upgraded/improved. Currently have Truevision TV, dish. Great reception. 3BB landline internet, wifi box thingy, again no problems. Also AIS phone with internet. Happy with this.

Re the TV. I follow the Australian NRL, V8supercars. Also enjoy several other movie & docco channels. Not at all interested in soccer, American football, basketball or baseball.

Re the phone internet. Mainly use this for Aussie radio when I'm driving. Bluetooth to car stereo.

So, given the above, can I improve, change what I have, to improve services & maybe reduce cost ?

Happy to elaborate further if needed.

All advice, suggestions very much appreciated.

Cheers.....     Mal.

No problem buying AIS credit at Tops supermarket yesterday.

Electric chairs, which happened to have been invented by Thomas Alva Edison.

 

Fentanyl would be a much better way to die.  Just take a few hits orally, go to sleep, and then it's game over.

 

There's a mega-form of the stuff hitting N. America: carfentanyl. It's elephant tranquilizer, 100 times stronger than Fentanyl which itself is about 100 times stronger than morphine. read more

 

Note: just in the first 6 days after the drug arrived in Cincinnati Ohio, there were 174 deaths from overdoses!

 

1 kg can produce 50 million fatal doses.  It's made in China and usually shipped through Mexico to places north.  Canadians (and Ohio people) are among the biggest users.

Sorry, no cigar !

Alfred P. Southwick. Alfred P. Southwick (1826–1898), was a steam-boat engineer, dentist and inventor from Buffalo, New York. He is credited with inventing the first electric chair as a method of legal execution.

No luck at all in our local 7-11. About 25km from Sakon Nakhon. Looks like Kingdom wide.

Why do you consider this the wrong forum ?

If I was asking a question or discussing a specific motor vehicle topic, I would have posted it in the motor forum.

But my post was to advise ALL members of a certain TV broadcast & when & where they might watch it if interested.

Had I posted it in the motor forum many members may not have reason to view that forum & missed the opportunity to view said program. Thus the reason for posting in General.

Me thinks you should up your meds dosage.

" So..it seems that the expat community lives in a 90 day fear of expulsion from the Kingdom ? "

If you were to conduct a pole re your topic, I think the vast majority wouldn't be all that afraid. 

But, just my opinion. 

Mornin all.

If there's any petrol heads out there that are at all interested.

Tomorrow's Mt Panorama race will be televised on Truevision. Starts at 7:10 through 13:45 on channel 667.

Cheers.....     Mal.

There may be a supposed directive not to parade suspects but there's no way the BIB would pass up publicity on this one.

I can imagine any re-enactments could well turn into real Bollywood productions.

I really don't understand why they don't use a wide angle or fisheye lens for these photos. If so they'd fit so many more bib in the photo.

Just sayin.

And it took 7 policemen to arrest him?

If wide angle lens used, could fit even more in the photo.

I find most Tops supermarkets have a very good selection.
