  1. We use AXA for our visits to the UK https://direct.axa.co.th/TA/CoverageOptionPlan Mr Prakan also has many choices https://misterprakan.com/en/travel/travel-insurance-thailand
  2. Looks like "sandwash" between the tiles. AFAIK - It's a mixture of mortar and small pebbles which is finished with acid etching to expose the pebble surface. Very common here. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=sandwash Future issue could be with matching repairs, as the colour of the mortar and pebbles are almost impossible to reproduce.
  3. The Great Escape - "Papers please".
  4. It's incredibly sad to hear these regular stories of youngsters drowning here - sometimes multiple deaths when they try to help their mates. When I visit my wife's village I see a lot of fish ponds with very steep muddy banks. I imagine it would be difficult for a child to climb out. Growing up in the UK we spent a lot of summers playing in canals, rivers, and reservoirs unsupervised, but I can't recall any drownings (although I do recall a few drownings of kids caught in tide currents at the beach, even with their parents nearby). I guess the difference is that most of us could swim. Is there such a thing as public baths here?

  6. I had to google three-peggers. If anyone else needs a clue ...
  7. All the other traffic is halted for at least 1km ahead and behind his motorcade, and the traffic lights are all turned to green for him. He's probably puzzled how so many people manage to kill themselves on Thai roads when driving is so stress-free here.
