Over 19,000 fire extinguishers in Bangkok need to be replaced
jaideedave replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
PreviousIy I've worked as a Safety Officer in the O&G industry for a couple years..ABC Fire extinguishers should all have a tag on them indicating the date of the last inspection along with the company doing this.It's a cronic problem getting them retested/refilled offshore because of logistics.I believe they empty them and pressure test and refill/recharge. But this is TIT and that costs money. They don't necessarily have to be discarded though.I did take a couple dry powder expired ones to use as a demo for the local Iranian lads and set them off...they were amazed at how few seconds they actually are usefiul for. Kind of funny as they thought they were good to go for 5-7 minutes.lol -
I should clarify...These days I'm always in bed before 10pm,sometimes it's 9pm.Thats when I normally look at some Instagram shorts on my phone.That puts me to sleep in a matter of minutes.I'll wake up a half hour later with the phone on my chest..lol After 6 - 7 hours I'm awake and refreshed. Insomnia is a curse,,,thank god I don't have that issue.

Perhaps a visual inspection by Somchai as he rode it on the way for a break. -
AOT Forms Committee to Probe Walkway Incident
jaideedave replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's very important that this incident gets swept under the carpet before blame can be administered.I see there is a delay in the police obtaining the video footage? TIT It will be very interesting to see the monetary value they put on this poor woman's leg. Pain and suffering and psychiatric counseling. Hitachi is a huge corporation so will be lawyered up. -
Interesting,I'm ex Navy also but I always assumed the exhaust lines/pipes were well above the water line . I'm not familiar with frigates, wouldn't the running engines exhaust pressure be enough to prevent the ingress of water? I had a pleasure boat with dual exhaust pipes at the rear water line but the pipe had a loop inline to stop water from entering the engine through the exhaust when stopped. This case is a very rare event as its hard to believe something wasn't in place to prevent this. I wasn't there either but there are a lot of unanswered questions.

If Somchai and his wife own it yes. If Hisi owner no.TIT -
Thai ex-judge sentenced over 20 million baht bribery allegations
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In my case the lawyers fee was 30k.I don't know how much of that was paid as tea money.The transaction was completed swiftly when the lawyer got involved.I love living here but this part of it sucks a big one. -
Back when I bought my house it needed several upgrades.It took me years to find a skilled honest neighborhood handyman.I know for a fact I paid over double the going rate for tile installation recommended by a neighbor.He f__ked me good. I still don't talk to him.I use the same fellow for everything now and always tip him because I'm that grateful. You must be aware that there is the "farang" price and the price a local would pay. I paid the farang price for several years..sheesh

I can add to your statement.A couple years ago they knocked down the house next door in my moo ban.Little did we know its now a rental "pool villa" in Booking.com. Its 4 br so foreign(Chinese) groups rent it to party hardy. Unfortunately our bedroom is on the poolside.Its an unpleasant feeling to get woken up at 3am to loud yelling etc.When my wife calls the moo ban lady she apologizes and thats it until next time.I have ordered an air horn out of desparation.If anyone can give me some suggestions please provide.Sleepless in Pattaya.We've lived in this house for 17 years and really don't want to sell and move.

You are 100% correct pub..this will be a slow process in the guise of making it all more convenient for you . Slowly eroding your rights and privacy.The working class will no longer have the ability to jet off to the beach for a 2 week holiday to escape winter.Your carbon footprint will forbid unnecessary travel.All documented in you digital ID and CBDC.
-
Yes it used to be a conspiracy theory but when digital ID and BCDC currency becomes reality we will give up control of a large part of our lives.Our privacy among other things will be compromised.The CBDC will be programmable at the gov'ts whim.Ask a Canadian trucker protester how it feels to have your bank accounts frozen during that time.

I agree BMT:In my case I'm a 72 yo cancer survivor plus I had quad bypass surgery 12 years ago.I've probably used up my (9) lives by now.I had my wife sign the DNR forms and gave them to my Dr. I don't want my family's inheritance eaten up in a ICU and they have to pull the plug when the insurance and money is gone.No issue for me at all.Its been a good ride!

Thai ex-judge sentenced over 20 million baht bribery allegations
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Back in 2007 at the land office where I was trying to get a 30 year lease registered on my house they demanded money outright.Either pay up or no deal.I eventually was forced to hired a lawyer to pay the bribe on my behalf.Even the Thai seller was appalled and spoke bad to these crooks.They didn't even attempt to conceal the fact. It's endemic in this country.- 38 replies

Time To Think About The Tour De Thailand 2024
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
In the past 20 years here I've read in the news of several fatalities of bike riders.Some of which were travelling the globe on bikes and met their demise on Thai highways.Sad but true. -
COVID infections falling steadily, fewer fatalities over past month

Leave the kids alone <deleted> -
I just quit 6 months ago.In the end I was drinking 8 beers or 1 small bottle of Sang Som each and every day.I started at 15 and stopped at 72.I'd had enough. If I could recover all the $ wasted over the decades I'd be a wealthy man.No regrets at all, in fact it was easier to stop than I thought it would be.I immediately lost 10 kilos and sleep much better.I win.

What is a "Ghost Run"
jaideedave replied to AgMech Cowboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I recall some boys doing that on Samui years ago.Myself I thought it was risky because the runner had to leave the Island by boat with all their passportd. .Too many things to go wrong.
