  1. I think the 6 inches of insulation above the ceiling is a big help. Reflective sheets behind some windows plus curtains and windows shut. But .......31.5 is still hot any way you look at it.
  2. 40 on our balcony yesterday in Petchabun. 31.5 in the living room.
  3. Does working illegally include vloggers. ? Seem to be hundreds of them.
  4. Absolute rubbish. The only negotiations Putin is interested in is Ukraine surrendering all the territories Putin wants , which are in fact less than he had originally wanted.
  5. There can be no meaningful negotiations until Russia withdraws all its troops from Ukrainian territory. Until this fundamental requirement is met the war will continue , more to the detriment of Russia than Ukraine.
  6. Agreed. An inspiration to many. Deserves to do well. Some 35 odd years ago , Thai friends introduced me to badminton which until then I had underrated as a very soft option to tennis. Completely wrong. The slightly slower speed puts every point up for grabs and long exhausting rallies are common even for beginners.. Used to play after work from 9.30 pm until 10.30 with a friend. Totally exhausted , back to my place for a bong and watch a rented video with some munchies until about 1 am. Slept like a log until up for work next day.
  7. Big envelope.. That's 3200 x1000 baht notes. Pretty hard to miss.
  8. I had zero luck with those seeds too. I hate to admit it but I think I fell for an elaborate scam. I was shown branches at the temple festooned with money and bought the seeds. Common sense deserted me.
  9. The vegetable patch was at the rear of the garden but I gave it up since nobody ate the vegetables produced. Rather than let them go rotten I made lots of soups and put them in the freezer. The long bean soup was very tasty. Still have herbs scattered around along with mangoes,coconuts, papaya, jackfruit , starfruit, bananas and limes. Bumper crop of coconuts this year....which nobody ate so wife sold some gave others away. The only thing we produce which we eat all of is the limes. Been trying to source a back bacon tree or a cumberland sausage tree but no luck yet.
  10. You might find there is some on site parking although it might be a bit limited. For fairly near free parking you could go into Bic Saphan Kwai then either take the BTS or if there are many of you a taxi would only be a 60 baht ( approx ) taxi ride away. Good shopping around there for after you have had your shots.
  11. Insert a red hot poker and ignite the methane gas. Problem sorted . No more gas. Next start a thread on how to deal with 3rd degree burns in a delicate place. I will give further advice from there. No point jumping the gun now.
  12. What's the name of that station ? Is it on this MRT map ?
  13. I shop online but never put money in Jef Bezos pocket or Mark Zuckerberg. Get anything I want on Lazada. No major issues yet.
  14. First , try clearing your cache and deleting cookies etc. Then try a different browser like Firefox. I have had issues with Chrome lately but everything fine on Firefox.
  15. That will take some beating. Just shows , friends in high places are very useful .
  16. Probably a few Trumped up ones in there somewhere , thrown in for good measure to add more nails to his coffin.
  17. Not only tourists but Thais and expats. I live in lower Petchabun near Sri Thep. I frequently see the expats who live around here riding along in shorts , sandals and no helmets.. Only about 1 in 10 bothers to put a helmet on. One was killed two years ago in a head on collision. A helmet would probably have saved him. So if you are an expat living here .....wear a helmet and save yourself getting in the news for the wrong reasons.
  18. I think Scotty Kilmer might take issue with that .
  19. Oh ? How do they coma to thisa conclusiona ?
  20. Oh I don't know , if it is possible they will somehow manage it.
  21. England had king Canute. Thailand has old Prayuth . Ordering is one thing. Effective action another. Oh well, the rainy season will fix everything until next time.
  22. Be advised. Anyone hoping to get a new UK passport in the coming months might find delays : https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11930381/Passport-Office-workers-begin-five-week-strike-tomorrow-row-jobs-pay-pensions.html
  23. Turd in the hole ?
  24. You mean like infamous ?
