Are you really living in Thailand? There is no Xmas here as such.

Give the laws a great Thai Smile tour and forget about that obligate stuff.

See it as a step in the right direction. Were you able to walk first time you tried, cycling or drinking beer?

Takes a while. How the fark do you think one stringent police action will make all people aware they must obey by the law instantly, TIT.

Yes, agreed, this will take more years untill people start to realise.

Many people nowadays (Chiang Mai) have their helmets on while driving the motorsi. That's a whole new scene compared to 2 years ago and was due to the many road blocks and many people got hit in the wallet.

Oil that's been used to long maybe?.

There is no condiment for making vegetables taste like smoke and why would they do it anyway.

Ok, there is liquid smoke, but quite expensive.

You like smokey tasting veggies?

Why do you call it CNX? It don't make you any more of an 'expat'.

BKK, Swampy, CNX not familiar 2 u? NCPO, BIB, TIT some more 4 u. LOS, TGF, LMAO (Y)

Bloody Hill, never been this warm in CNX for years around this time.

Sorry, not a penny from me for blankets etc. Every year the same. Don't you worry, the mountain people are used to it. Besides their summers are cooler too.

Give 'm blankets and after the winter it is all sold or whatever u can think of can happen to blankets.

What is this whining anyway. In Europe and America people face temperatures ranging from +30C to -20C/85F to 5F or worse.

If one has a work permit but is not as such on a payroll...can one have the SS benefits too?

Have the China corporation make up a certificate of origin. With this certificate you pay no import tax. You will have to pay customs anyways for what they obviously do for you. Temporarily storage, clearing and whatever.

If you buy as a company, you must have/obtain an import license. This is a bit of a hassle, so if you can buy on personal account, you don't need this license. Been there, done that.

Try and go for some extra discount like CIF instead of FOB. Logistics handling is mostly done automatic by contacts of the Chinese corporation in China and Bangkok.

Hope this helps.

My accountancy bureau does it for 6000 all-in. (CNX)

Thanks for the link PG; I'll check it out.

I like wood chips for use in a seperate cold smoker. Wood pellets can do the trick also.

Chunks are no go in a small cold smoker. Chips light easily and don't flame.

http://www.smokedaddyinc.com/cold-smokers is an example of commercial smokers, but it is easy to make one yourself.

According to a barbecue obsessive's website, soaking wood chips isn't necessary and is even counterproductive. I believe him because I'm forgetful and it makes life easier if there's one less thing I have to do. Anyway, here's the link.

Haha, even though...nice advice and well explained.

My point is (OP) were to get wood chips and I certainly never soak wood chips or chunks and this post is not about soaking or bbq'íng

Google is probably better....but in Hang Dong after the Mae Hai market on the left side....it may be after the next light.....red sign I believe....I brought a lot of smoking chips from the states as each works for diff meats etc....they have at least two....shows on their website.....

Nothing on Google, no real lead actually.

So they have a website; why not share that with us?

Thanks for the reply pgrahamm, though Canal Road is a long one. Can you be more specific please? GPS maybe?

On the contrary, allow me.

Chips are used in special cold smokers. Units outside your smoking area to provide cold smoke, such as 'Smoke Daddy's cold smoker or a self made one like this

Larger units than chips or pellets won't really work that well with these smokers and smaller units than chips and/or sawdust don't do the trick either.

Maybe you are right that wood chips are a seasonal product and anyways cold smoking can best be done in the cold season.

Yes, there were some topics about smoking and wood chips in 2013.

It was mentioned that Rimping, Home Pro and Global sell wood chips, but as off today none of these companies sell it (anymore).

Anyone know of a place in or around Chiang Mai? Maybe have to go to Ban Tawan or San Patong. But if someone been there befor and there aren't any wood chips for sale I can spare me the trip.

Thanks

Good info. Am about to buy new tyres as well. Gives an idea about pricing in Thailand.

I believe my Toyota 4 x drive has tyres of 285. Not going to check out now...dark and rainy.

Offer to me was 6250 Baht and befor I could even try, I already had a discount of 200 Baht.

This was in Chiang Mai neighbor at the 'old' Makro

Most signatures are done with a ball pen. Easy to see the impact on the paper on the flip side.

Oh, forgot Thai Imm are no Sherlocks.

 

 

No. The traditional wisdom is that the water might be safe, but the pipes that it runs through are not. I don't know anyone who drinks tap water. 

 

We've been drinking it for years and no bad effects.....aside from entire family now growing two heads each.

 

All jokes aside, we have excellent filtration at our house and my wife also invested in an Alkaline Ionizer which makes it very drinkable.

 

 

All jokes aside, I only get proper stools when I have looked after my own food. I don't trust anyone, any tool or any platter. It is generally washed in the dark by someone in their '60's+ who's idea of germinology is perhaps a Western thing. Advise as such: imagine you touch a chicken covered with paint - now avoid contact with paint hereafter.

 

Best of luck.

 

My gut has swollen from 30" to 34" - I do not eat more, I have not had a non-medically induced solid stool in the last eight months. I know my gut is infected, by what I don't know. Carry on...

 

Same for me. I trust my wife cooking for me. Every once in a while some friend/neighbour gives some free food {read leftovers} and even my Thai wife gets the racing shite a bit. I don't touch free anymore. LOL.

 

 

If you are afraid of the tap water... You might add the ice cubes that are put in every glass in Chiang Mai... If you doubt me go for aride along the Ma Naam Ping river and take a look at one of the ice plants...

That's bull, water all over the world is taken from lakes, rivers, filtered and cleaned waste water. As if Thais would make ice cubes from straight river water.

Sorry for the confusion - I Did not say the water came out of the river I just said the ice factory was on the road along the river!

 

Well, you insinuated though.

The last time you made a salad - did you wash it with deionised water?

 

I've gotta say, I hate the domestic (mother >50 years old) standard of hygiene - it simply doesn't exist. Have you observed Thias washing their hands after toilet? OK - if so.. I believe you .....

 

Hygiene here happened somewhere else - get used to it. Take good care of yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHrgNKo5az0

Love this

My dentist assures me it's drinkable, but I use it only for cooking, coffee, washing the dishes, and use bottled water for drinking.   

 

The first house I rented had all the tap filters blocked up with carbon particles, but it's the things I couldn't see that bothered me.

For cooking and coffee??? Do you have any taste buts? Besides what about the chlorine that's put in the water?

Must save you 20 Baht a week on bottle water, yikes.

Just checked this morning in the bathroom. Nothing wrong.

Why not just spray the KB with...yes, anti ant spray. Is it that difficult?

Anyone can comment on differences like with Grace Dental?
