IMO it did not even matter that he was a foreigner. People should be blamed, not a particular nationality. So because of this are all Arabs to be blamed" I remember reading a story about two Australians being booted from a flight i believe was Phuket , should we blame all Australians? A British boxer tried to open the door on a Ryanair flight. did we need to know his nationality so we can blame all Brits? I can go on and one, there is no shortage of airplane passengers disrupting a flight and being removed.

If that is what it was , certainly not, but of course that's not what happened. In the full story it says " “We have to temporarily discontinue the flight for the safety of all passengers. We will be taking the affected passenger back to the terminal, and the process is expected to take approximately two to five minutes. We sincerely apologise for the delay.” This leads me to believe that the passenger was was being disruptive, the captain consider them to be a danger to the passengers and crew , and since the whole situation could be resolved in 2-5 minutes they were close to the gate. and had just started to taxi . It is not like they had to perform a TOGA The disruptive passengers were removed and the flight continued watthour incident. From the article it is not clear how long the flight was delayed but if what the pilot announced was true, this is a tempest in a teacup, The plane was delayed 2-5 minutes to ensure the safety of the passengers and perhaps help someone out. Big Deal.

It is not a matter of preference but a matter of law. If the military was interested in stopping unlawful behaviour by the Red or and Yellow shirts , They should have stooped the behavior rather than themselves also engage in unlawful behaviour . Two wrongs have never made a right

I had a conversation with my wife , when she told me that they were fiving money for people to go vote for a particular candidate. I said "Take the money. and then vote for whomever you want" She replied, "I cant do that they know who I vote for" Regardless of whether the know or not, Thai people are convinced that they know . which is why military goverment referendums always get a very large percentage of the vote. To be honest If I had to vote, I would also vote yes on the outside chance that they some how know what I voted.

IMO the referendum is unconstitutional and thus illegal , since it was held by an illegally elected goverment.At Least I think military coups are illegal in Thailand as they are in most countries in the world. BUT TIT

Usually when military goverment have referendums, they get 110% of the vote.

Of course you are there and have a better handle on the situation,. I can only form an opinion from the limited information if a picture. Extending the roof a few inches is easy, just stick some roofing under the existing roof,. Make sure they bring the wall up under the roof with AAC block as it is easier to screw or nail a Fascia board on it and dress the top nice also making a place to attach the gutter, You can attach it to cement if that's what they use but is is a lot haeger attaching things to cement than there is to AAC block Good luck, let us know how it turned out.

Quick Analysis: With Pita Gone, What Happens Next?
sirineou replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How is anyone Surprised by any of these? On June 7th The following article was posted in the Asean Now forum "Prayut To Be Held Accountable For His Deeds Over Last 9 Years: Pita " " Pita Limjaroenrat said today (June 6) caretaker prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is yet to be held accountable for whatever loss and damage which he may have caused to the people and country over the last nine years. " What did you all think it would happen after such statement? Below is a screenshot of my then reply: I would never forget this lesson I learned The owner of the company I worked for once told me " You made your point , everything you say after that can only hurt you. Unfortunately Pita had either not learned that lesson. had forgotten it. or is stupid. Or perhaps he is politically naive How could saying that had helped Pita? what did he had to gain by say that? He had already won. But the excitement got the better of him. -
But there is the rubb , One way or another we will pay for it. "Climate change impacts our economy, health, well-being, security, and quality of life. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the cost of climate and weather disasters in the United States last year totaled more than $165 billion—the third most costly year on record. " Me and you are paying this directly or indirectly , and some of us will pay for it with our lives. Directly as I said before by higher insurance premiums (only one example ), Indirectly from higher prices, as associated costs are added into the means of production. But I agree with you, not only the political will is not there, But there aother players who use it as a wedge issue to enrich themselves. And a large percentage of the population is supporting them. If that's not the , cattle cheering for the butcher on their way to the slaughterhouse I don't know what is.

If you are concerned about the gutter, clean it, and use roofing tar or some kind of rubberized paint such as the one below, I use in my Koi pond, you can find at Lazada, but there might be a similar and less expensive product at your local DoHome or similar store. You might even use some of thar rubberized paint in the area of concern.

Ok very simple then . If you decide to extend the roof , you can remove the gutter and the cement they put there. You can extend the roof in two ways, One is to use the same material you have, loosen up the bolts that hold your existing roof and slide under it similar material (if you can find it ) that you cut down to side. From the look of it it looks like you need to extend the roof 4 or 5 inches and would need pieces 12-16 inches so more than half of it goes under your existing roof. You have to measure , Another wat is to get low profile tin roofing and slide that under it. But you and also leave it the way that it is, It does not look great but it is in the back and no one will see it. I don't think you will have a problem with the cement. that is at an angle under the existing gutter. . you are going to render the wall anyway, You are not going to leave the AAC block uncovered? remember AAC block is very porous . Use a good waterproofing paint at least in the area of concern . And if in the future you have a problem (I don't think you will) you can tear that section out then and do the roof extension. Good luck. PM me if you have any questions

If he does not mind the look, I don't think the small slope will present any problem if properly waterproofed. Assuming off course that the gutter is now properly instated also. If he extended the roof and the wall was extended to under the roof the gutter can be attached to the wall, If the wall is extended to the roof with the AAC block then you can easily screw into it,you van even screw facia board on the AAC block . Or if they used cement to fill the gap, you can also screw into the concrete with plastic shields concrete anchors , or concrete screws

Very stressed over it. I sold my Fl home last year, was talking with my sister in FL yesterday , Her insurance premiums more than tripled , and many major insurance companies are pulling out of FL, last week AAA pulled out. so there might be a time soon where you would not be able to even find someone to insure you at some point. No bank will give you a mortgage without insurance. Me and you cold argue about the issue until we turn blued in the face, but if you really want to know what is happening all you have to do is look at what the insurance companies are doing. They have experts that consider the situation and associated risks. There is record ice loss. Not something that periodically happens,some places they are predicting 50 degree weather. This is not normal, but if we don't do something it's about to become normal in some places. .

It's a small extension , looks to be about 4 inches . Tin roof can stick out this much and more. then he can bring the wall up to the roof which itself would provide support for the extension. Then from the inside I would take a can of expensable foam (very cheap) and fill what ever gap there is between the wall am roof extension. By the way. What the OP has now , if the gutter is properly installed with a bit of a drop edge over it, should be fine, All the water running down the roof will be removed by the existing gutter, what little falls on the cement fill will run off . Issummed the whole thing is going to be rendered. The only thing about what the OP has now is that it does not look pretty, but if the OP does not mind, ir should be fine. He can also waterproof that bit of cement not under the roof with waterproofing paint

Dont know what a standard concrete sheet is as par as roofs go, a picture would help for more precise instructions. But it should not be hard to do, simply lift the roof up a little bit and slip an extension under it, You can a tin lice pend for you at any roofing place, I recently did something similar when I converted a covered area behind our house to a workshop . Notice the gutter at the end of the slope, The roof needs to stick over the gutter lightly so that the water runs nin the gutter and not some of it between the gutter and the wall. Apologies for the poor sketch

Remove the gutter, extend the roof , and the build up to it. Easy to do depending on the kind of roof you have. Not sure what kind of roof you have. Can you post a picture?

Cleaning up my front yard
sirineou replied to Confuscious's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Not a bad plan.When we laid new grass on one side of the house Sorry about the size of the picture, I don't know how to make it smaller. Anyway, before it was a mix of grasses and weeds. The people that laid the grass went to work on the old grass and weeds with hoes and made sort change of it in a couple oh hours. If you have no success with the tarp, I suggest you do the same. In retrospect I wish I had also cemented the area. cutting the grass every week is a pain . especially now in the rainy season that grows like crazy. -
Pita’s parting shot: Thailand has changed since election
sirineou replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The value of an Ivy league education is not only what you learn there but also in the connections a relationships one develop there , And the value of the education those who remain in power have, is apparent in the results. It's a shame that Thailand Thailand had a chance to move to the next level sadly it took a step back. -
