Trudeau needs much more than a meetup. Oh wait, he's still in hiding!

I qualified in submarines way back in 1972 (RCN) A quick Wiki search tells me that the mean depth of the Gulf is 58 meters (190 ft) The "Song" Class boats are 75 meters in length.So if it was placed end to end from the bottom it would protude about 17 meters (55 ft) above the surface. That is thought provoking. It's a diesel electric sub which means that it will have to surface regularly to re-charge its batteries.I don't think I would feel very safe operating here. The only good news maybe if it ever sank it would be fairly easy to escape to the surface.Free divers have cracked 214 meters. I'm thinking it would be better described as a submersible torpedo boat.

Correct the 90 day is free if you do the visa with them.I donate 100 baht tip for their service when I pick up the PP -
People in Thailand reminded of fines for failing to wear a face mask
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Hello? It's starting to look like the rest of the world is backing off on those draconian rules. That's probably why the tourists don't understand why they have to wear masks. Let's be realistic, the rule about having to wear a mask when alone in a car or riding a moto is over reach.- 62 replies

Concur...my friend has had a bad time with leaf miners..he grows indoors to eliminate that and he doesn't have a spot outside of prying eyes and the odor can be detected easily. Indoors works best for him.

Easy...do your homework and find which variety grows well in this climate and latitude and order online. Problem is that photo periods require different night/day hours and here near the equator it's almost always 12 hrs of each. You have to veg the plant indoors and then flower outside. Maybe some more knowledgable perps can chime in .I think photo's need 18-6 sun in veg then 12-12 flowering. I grow autoflowers..no prob.Good luck.

It's definitely prevalent sir. Not noticed? legal? -
Number of foreigners on retirement visas
jaideedave replied to biervoormij's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Tabulat: Absolutely correct.I did my retirement visa on my own for several years no real issues.One time I placed the $ in an account at SCB and I asked " will this work for immigration"? Yes sir she says. Well guess what, immigration said flat out this is not acceptable! Now I have a problem...hence the agent route, never looked back and happy about that.BTW I checked the signature on the visa stamp..yes the same...555 -

TBH some Imm offices encourage the use of agents.Easy money maker as $ goes into jeans pocket and not the office manager. Been like that for over a decade. -
The best news lately is the UK has ended (soon) all vaccy passports, face diapers etc. Covid/Omricon is over. Let's hope the rest of the world does the same. Granted if a person is sick and knows it then by all means wear one when outside your home. Let's see how many power hungry politicians try to hang on to the restrictions.

Motorbike Purchase Preferred Method
jaideedave replied to night_rider's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Correct! I sold a used Harley to a farang from up country. I assumed he'd change the Green Book . About 2 years later he contacted me that I needed to go to Immigration to get a paper because he never put it in his name. He got sick and had to sell it but couldn't because it was still in my name. PITA for me as I'd already done it once. <deleted> -
Hi Britman, I asked my friend about the heat issue and he confirms that it's the 1000 watt LED light that creates the heat...sometimes as high as 33 C. even with 2 fans..he says during the lights out with 18/6 sched it cools down. Lights on a/c on. He's bought plenty of seeds from Grizzly but 1 pack did get picked up at customs. Look up "Smoking Gun Official" Igram. Good luck.

I notice some enterprising Thai's selling quality seeds on FB. It's possible to grow your own these days. Everything you need is on Lazada and Shopee. All you require is an unused shower room are large closet...for an indoor tent. They say the hardest part here is keeping the temps reasonable . A/C is a must.

Thai police in massive debt - they owe 270 billion baht
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
@denim--Yes you are correct. Firstly they have to pay a fairly large fee to even enter the force. As gov't employees they can borrow sums much larger than their incomes support. Hence the heavy handed fining system at road blocks or anywhere else they can get involved. My sister in-law did exactly that. Within weeks of getting the job she borrowed her tits off , new car, old loans paid off etc. I know she has borrowed $ from madam to make payments a few times. All a gov't job in Tland provides is unlimited borrowing power. -
Which direction should solar panels face?

I left CDA in 2004 to retire here. I can't believe how gullible Canadians are. They re-elected in Turdeau 3 times? <deleted> is happening? Their leader has never held a real job. He's a trust fund baby and doesn't give a fiddlers ---- about the people. He's got them on the run..imagine wearing a mask when driving alone in your own car? I would never have taken the sax if it were not being able to renew my visa. Dystopian CDA. It's not perfect here but a lot better than my sister in Niagara. I ain't never going back.. As Rod Serling might have said.docx

I've been fooling around with Lazada for 3 days trying to access funds in my wallet. Now a foreigner can access the wallet where previously you couldn't. When I called they said simply apply to activate your wallet...thats where the fun began..still trying

“COP 26 Debrief” held to digest implications of new climate goals
jaideedave replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Aussie, You are correct sir. None of the climate zealots predictions have become true to date. "Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions " This headline is very easy to find..a quick google search will show exactly how wrong they,ve proven to be. IE: The push for electric vehicles needs a lot of infrastructure work like charging options, power grid limitations on and on.
