  1. Big envelope.. That's 3200 x1000 baht notes. Pretty hard to miss.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. What's the name of that station ? Is it on this MRT map ?
  7. I shop online but never put money in Jef Bezos pocket or Mark Zuckerberg. Get anything I want on Lazada. No major issues yet.
  8. 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.
  9. That will take some beating. Just shows , friends in high places are very useful .
  10. Probably a few Trumped up ones in there somewhere , thrown in for good measure to add more nails to his coffin.
  11. 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.
  12. I think Scotty Kilmer might take issue with that .
  13. Oh ? How do they coma to thisa conclusiona ?
  14. Oh I don't know , if it is possible they will somehow manage it.
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. Turd in the hole ?
  18. You mean like infamous ?
  19. Who is this bloke anyway ? Just because he owns half a sugar company he gets in the news ?
  20. Hire Trump as an advisor. He'll get Putin to pay for it.
  21. My brother in law back in the UK repairs computers and even he says that Laptops are a lot harder to repair than desktops. With desktops there is plenty of room to work and each component is easily removable. Not so with laptops. A friend dropped his laptop on the floor. No damage except to the laptops charging point. It still worked perfectly while the power lasted. However what he considered a simple repair was met with ' cannots ' at every place he tried in MBK. Had to get a new one. Recently we tried to get our Samsung smart TV repaired by Samsung out of warranty. Two Samsung engineers came around and wanted to take our TV to their office for repairs. But they warned us it would not be cheap and advised us to get a new one since if anything else went wrong they would not be liable.
  22. Minus the picture
  23. They keep weeding these miscreants out on a regular basis. Makes you wonder just how many of these big overstayers are still out there and who will set the final record overstay . Not even sure what it is at the moment but more than seven years.
  24. If man can imagine something, he will eventually create that something. It's just a matter of time , money and a lot of work. Look where mankind was 150 years ago and where it is today. Big change , but not all good.
