Fresh Details Emerge in Irish Diver’s Mysterious Demise on Death Island
Denim replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You would think a close friend of several years might have known something had there been previous conditions. Robby’s long-time friend said he’d known him for around five to six years and was clueless about any pre-existing medical conditions that might have led to this tragedy. Neither have his family mentioned any . -
Fresh Details Emerge in Irish Diver’s Mysterious Demise on Death Island
Denim replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As 21 year old healthy young people with no previous conditions often do. That place seems to have bad joss unless it is the media putting a magnifying glass on it making it appear worse than it is. Who knows for sure. RIP young man. -
Really annoying cough/running nose/rash - HMPV?
Denim replied to Kinnock's topic in Health and Medicine
Both wife and I currently have these flu like symptoms. Bit of a bummer as I was looking forward to the cold weather this weekend. As it is , no energy to do anything and wrapped up in a jacket plus wearing socks around the house. -
Slightly off topic , but interesting. Dozens of British women have seen their breasts grow after the Covid jab - experts reveal why https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14263459/women-covid-jab-breast-enlargement-reaction.html Dozens of British women have reported their breasts ballooning in size after receiving a Covid vaccine, MailOnline can reveal. The revelation comes days after shocking images showed how a 19-year-old Canadian woman's breast quadrupled in size in what experts believe is a rare reaction to Pfizer's Covid jab dubbed the 'Pfizer boob job'. Now, MailOnline has uncovered data from the British drug medical safety watchdog showing 33 reports of similar cases of 'breast enlargement' following Pfizer's vaccine.

Cold Snap Leaves Britain with Alarming Gas Shortage
Denim replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I can't worry about this. Too cold here in Petchabun to worry about gas shortages in the UK. Only 13 degrees C this morning at 6.00 am. I was up in the night throwing an extra blanket on the bed. All made worse by wife going for a pee then getting back in the sack and trying to warm her hands on my wedding tackle. The horror , the horror. To think, I was looking forward to this but am now down with the flu as well. Be careful what you wish for. -
Protests Threaten Return of Yingluck Shinawatra to Thailand
Denim replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I find it strange that the mere mention of any of the Shinawatra clan sends some people into a frenzy of hatred and vitriol yet when there is a coup and the military prove to be just as corrupt they have nothing to say and go happily about their business. I guess they have no hatred left except for when a new party with real reforms wins the election then once again they find the energy to run around like headless chickens. -
Looks aren't anything. Much rather have an average looking pocket rocket than an expensive prima donna . It's what's under the hood that counts.

Fight breaks out after Thai woman leaves 2 husbands for foreigner
Denim replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Two's a spit roast threes a crowd. Havn't seen Bob lately either ? -
The interesting aspect is how expat communities , of whatever nationality , like to flock together and limit their integration to just being here and picking up a smattering of Thai. Look at places like Phuket , Pattaya , Chiang Mai etc and you will find some areas that are almost completely Russian , Chinese or Western. This is not so different from the UK where we see asians choosing to live in towns and cities where they can limit their integration into British society. Places where they can go for days on end just speaking their own language ,eating their own food and using their own social networks etc. They can live here for decades but have no Thais as real friends.

Good. When you return to the front ask your cats if you can borrow a few of their 9 lives. Might come in handy. -

Thaksin Predicts Debt-Free Thailand by 2027 with New Strategies
Denim replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
But think Yingluk is Thaksins daughter. Lol. A lot to say about Thaksin but not much about Prayuth and other coup makers who have also had their noses at the trough but by seizing power rather than politics. -
Very confused about E visa system
Denim replied to Marcel Samson's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No need to apologise. Many people are confused by the new regulations and requirements. As DrJack54 says : I would skip idea of obtaining non O in Laos. An alternative is to apply for 12 month extension from your current permission of stay. The days of easy and quick visa runs to Laos are over. It has no advantage over anywhere else. -
Changing the disc is hardly what I would call a modification. There are disc's for ceramic tiles , metal and wood. If they want to reduce these accidents they should make it illegal to sell grinders that are not operated by an automatic kill button. That is , as soon as you take your thumb off the operation button the power is cut. My first grinder had this. Nowadays , most of the cheap Chinese generic grinders have a separate toggle switch at the base where the wire goes in. Dangerous because if you drop the grinder it keeps on working.

Thai woman seeks justice after lantern sets her car ablaze
Denim replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
First class insurance is known as fully comprehensive cover. For people who can't afford that or for those that own cars older than 10 years there is third party fire and theft . The 10 year old rule is one of the insurance companies requirements , not a written law. With third party in Thailand it is the car that is insured not the driver so anyone can drive it. In the event of an accident the policy holder usually gets nothing. Only the thitd party is covered.. -
Building a house in Thailand
Denim replied to capin's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Sorry to disagree but where we live there are new houses going up all the time. Some, on a low budget , are not built to the highest standards , but others are very well built and even after several years show no signs of deteriation. This is why I advised looking around at the nearby housing stock to find out who built what. If you just follow somebodys recommendation , that somebody might be a bad builder related to the one who recommended him. If you can find examples of three or four houses well built by the same person he is the one I would approach. Naturally , he might be charging more than others but as usual cutting corners can be more expensive in the end. -
Building a house in Thailand
Denim replied to capin's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
No need to hire an architect. Your local land office holds many house plans on file. They should allow you to browse through them until you find one you like and for a small fee you can have a copy made. When it comes to construction some leeway is allowed in the design and it does not have to be exactly the same. You can change some details as long as the finished house does not exceed the originals dimensions by too much. To find a builder, talk to locals for recommendations. Drive around the area and see if there are any homes that look well built and structurally sound. You could then ask the owner politely for the builders phone number. There is a dedicated forum to building houses in Thailand. I would say it is a must read for anyone considering a build as it covers everything you need to know including plumbing ,electrics , legality etc. I can't post the link here as it is against forum rules but if you PM me I will send you the link. Good luck wish it. Phitsanulok is a nice city with all amenities.
