No government IMO is going to volunteer to give us bad news. If they ain't <deleted> scared of what will happen next election they should be.

Here in Thailand its not necessary to have those expensive elections...a coup will do!

I was sent the forms via courier.You must register 1st to the Cdn gov't.

I just mailed mine back with Thai post...air mail registered.

Plse don't vote Liberal...but up to you.

Unless you send them by courier the vote won't get there in time.

It depends what exactly you're looking for. I doubt most people can't get the approved permits etc to grow hemp unless you're connected.

However if its the cousin you're looking for for a private personal grow, thats a whole different subject.

My guess. Either bipolar or some other illness. Or,she's just not that into you,and puts up with being with you for other intrinsic benefits. Every so often the frustration of sacrificing her heart for those other benefits causes an explosion which resets the clock until the volcano builds up again.

 

Knowing your age, looks and charisma against her age, looks and feminine charm would probably answer which of the above it is.

Sounds a little Bipolar to me..ask me how I know..good luck

Here's one from the U.S.:

 

Put 4, ahem, "healthy" Americans (I'm American, so..) in there plus a driver and you're tipping the scales at a ton.  And that model is for sale in the U.S.  Here's a good link to that reality:

Like I say, that's probably fine and Thailand may be able to handle it with some relatively affordable shifts to the grid.  If so, more power to them.  But in the meantime they can simply go with natural gas while moving in that direction.

 

 

We have one of these we bought here.  showroom near Bangna Trat highway. 90 k but they've had to replace the batteries on warranty. I goes about 45-50 kms before charges. Takes about 4 hrs. Only had it 4 months and so far so good. Made in China of course. Its more of a novelty actually.

if it's cheap enough and you can witness no infestation inside,  however this is difficult unless you can remove architraves and skirting boards, which i'm sure the sellers won't like or even agree to. 

you need a chisel and a claw hammer.

Our old house had termites.I found a farang exterminator and he sorted it all out.They drilled several deep 3/8 inch holes around the perimeter of the place and pumped poison down there.No sign of them any more .He comes around once or twice a year.

In my mooban they've either torn down or rebuilt half a dozen houses because of this. Don't buy a house with wood roof trusses, thats where they get you because they can chew away undetected until its too late.

Skip the pool, as all the local mum's will bring there kids to your house/pool, don't do it !!!!!!! LOL

I have to agree.Skip the pool. Our house has one ,however small only 4-5 meters across. It  costs on a few fronts.My electric recirc pump runs 6 hours a day every day,chemicals,maintenance and you'll have to pay someone to clean it a couple times a week. Due to illness etc. I haven't used it in over 2 years. If by chance some neighbour kids get in there and one of them drowns then you are truly <deleted>.

It was already here when we bought the place. I would never recommend a pool based on my experience.   

If you have a Paypal account you may be able to get a Mastercard pre paid..check it out.

the money is over there doing nothing but being eaten away by inflation. I previously had it in gold at the perth mint but sold it after a 40% return. Now I dont know what to do with it

buy gold again? I recently inherited a tidy sum and bought mostlt Thai gold in bars..why not?

So true.

   The country I grew up in has disappeared along with the fundamentally decent principals that we knew and sometimes even followed.

   The people are a lot different nowadays.

I hold the same sentiments as you concerning my "old country" Canada.The current government is transforming my former home into a copy of Ch--a. I wouldn't last 48 hrs there as my way of thinking would not blend with todays Canadians not to mention the hundreds of thousands on 3rd world welfare recipients waiting for their passports.

Our black face PM has created a situation where our national debt will not be cleared until 2070!

If he had obeyed the law in the first place he would still be here, unless the drugs he took had finished him off. Difficult job for the police having to deal with big strong guys being un cooperative and out of their heads on chemicals. Does not look like a fair trial or sentence.

Who in there right mind would want to be a cop these days?Apparently this fellow was high on drugs when apprehended. The cop wasn't alone so why didn't they cuff him or use a couple zip ties? Easier said than done. I truly hope he gets/wins an appeal for lesser time.

Yes, i mean packed since the 16th. I mean impossible. Anyway even if you ask if they have stock they say yes. You buy and still get the same thing. So far only had this with some tools (auto wrench not sure how you call it). I got some fitness stuff i need to assemble and that goes so much better with a wrench you can go back with.. damm.. ill post a pic to explain. I can't find the English word.

 

The thing i marked with yellow. That is so easy for fastening nuts and stuff. Got a home gym i need to move and take apart.

Had similar, this "packed" nonsense is as you said justa way to stop you cancelling and going eleewhere. (Unless wait 4 days and Lazada step in). I have had this annoying tactic, its worse when you need something quite quickly and they pull this stunt.

Charlie h...I've been getting this same BS from LZ also.Its getting more frequent these days.

I'm <deleted> off but theres no way to confirm the item is in stock!

I give them sh-t when this happens. When they cancel on you then you have to wait and hope the refund is done. My refunds go to my Lazada Wallet which foreigners are not allowed to have.Then I have to contact LZ to send it to my bank. 

I'm going back to COD from now on . chuck me..

Likely shamed into doing it because of that stupid Embassy joke post. Be nice if more countries did this for their nationals.

Yesterday I received a notice from the Canadian Embassy to register for the same thing.

I live in Pattaya and I don't think its a good idea to leave this relatively safe place to enter a deep red zone...There can't be very many doses available because by 1300 today the mail replied that unfortunately they cannot accept any more applications. Smoke and mirrors?

I am now more resolved than ever to refuse the Sinovac and wait for the one I want injected into my body.. FYI..I never took the so called flu vaccine in Canada either from when it was first available.

What I call a slip wrench or plumber's wrench should do it.  Any of the Home places will have and not much.  Actually, those are supposed to be hand tighten so you may give that a try first.

Another way is to hammer tap a screwdriver on the nut until it loosens.

This was the result of a "google" I bought one locally after struggling with the nut on the faucet..Plumber's Basin Faucet Sink Wrench Tool Device

Once a showpiece of photovoltaics, now just an abandoned building. 

Looks like a place that exists in the Bahamas?

That's not entirely accurate, when a female plant gets big enough in Thailand, it will flower no matter what the light conditions. Although sometimes you end up with a plant that's a bit bigger than you really wanted. A friend of mine tried it, started in January, flowered in March, harvested in June.

 

Auto-flowers are not worthwhile in commercial grows, not a big enough crop.

So a friend tells me.

My friend grows a couple autos indoors and they work fine. He says 2-3 plants produce enough for his personal medication. No need to get over priced <deleted> from moto drivers, so he says...

Motor homes do not appear to be part of Thai road culture, don't think I have ever seen one. The other issue would be camping sites, no such thing as a powered camp site that I have heard of. Bamboo huts maybe.

In low season, hotels are so cheap I would question the need for one. Good luck, but i feel travel will be restricted here for some time to come.

As Lace says there a no or very few proper campsites providing such amenities as pump out,electricity etc. Where will you dump out the holding tank? You'll need a generator or power supply for the ac unit or you'll roast. Hotel/motel etc are very reasonable here if you look around.

I've owned various RV,s over the years and thoroughly enjoyed camping in Western Canada (British Columbia) but I've never been tempted to try it here for all the reasons above.

I’ve done all the paperwork myself for 4-5 years now on extension based on retirement. I’ve got the funds. I don’t want to complain with all the little details about the 90 day system and staff training yada yada you know the details but the little stuff is just starting to get to me. I wouldn’t mind paying extra to avoid treking to CW so often. Maybe I just need to hire a driver with a nice car. I really had the feeling this year they were trying to tell me to use an agent. I am just curious if there is a service that can make it easier even if you are doing everything by the rules. 

It's a well known secret where I live that the local IO prefers you to use an agent. It makes their job easier. A lot of foreigners make errors/omissions etc that have to be addressed hence the agent.

I used to do the retirement extention myself for years but after I encountered a very nasty IO one year I said never again..Hastle free now using an agent. I consider the fee the cost of living in LOS. No muss no fuss.BTW..after closely checking the stamps/signatures it's obviously the same person signing my extension every year including pre agent days...
