Rats!
in Chiang Mai
I have no experience with companies that can deal with rats. However living in rural Thailand I have had plenty of them. I've also had bird problems.
If you don't want to use poison you could try glue traps. These are the large plastic plates you smear the provided rubber glue all over the plate and place a snack in the center. Makro/Lotus all sell them. You will hear the rats screeching when they get stuck. They cost about 50 baht.
After using glue traps with good success my best working solution so far is cats. We have four now. I pity the birds and rats, however we don't have any more troubles. These felines are killing machines. I realize you have a dog, I do too, and the first cat we "hired" as a rat catcher was quick to teach the dog where her boundaries were. It took one cat scratch on the nose and our pooch was sorted and became quite accommodating.
I have had no sign of a living rat or mouse in our house now for more than a year. The cats are maintenance free and even though your rat problem is in the air-conditioning ducts a cat will find them. Somethings I think the only thing the cat thinks about, besides sex is; "where to find something new to kill"?
Cats are cleaner than dogs, they never leave droppings in the house or create smell. I realize a lot of people don't like cats but give one a try and if you don't like it, get rid of it.
Good luck.
I can only confirm this.
The land around my previous house used to be severely infested with almost anything that loves living on fallow land.
Rats, mice, frogs, cockroaches,... the whole shebang.
So it also attracted snakes as they see this land as their supermarket/food supply.
Then there was the occasional cadaver which was great for maggots/flies which attracted a lot of birds,....
Anyway, long story short,... I got me 2 little kittens at the local temple and 3 months later the whole area was cleaned up!
I also have 2 dogs. They all seem to get along pretty fine here in Thailand.

Charoen Muang Road (The part between the Trainstation and Super Highway) on your right hand side (facing SH) is a store that sells Iron, Copper, SS, and so on. If they don't have stock they can order for you. Have to talk to them....
Sure there will be other shops like this if this area is out of your way. Just look for stores that sell iron and steel.
-
Yok Intertrade on Super Highway (more or less oposit of Makro) you need to talk to the girl at the reception desk (there's omly 1 or 2 that speak good English and knows all the products.... or you can talk to the owner who's around most of the time).
Or Chiang Mai Plastic on Wororot Market.
Bakery Mart on the 106.

MAKRO (sells 2 thickness btw)

If you can split it up into 2 x 20 Kilo you can use Thai post surface. I did similar shipping to Belgium and took no more than 5 weeks to get there. I believe I paid about 2700 THB for 20Kg.

Is it that time of the week already?
I dunno, why don't you ask them....?

We will never forget and become IGNORANT!
Ohh OK,... that makes it alright then.
I'm so sorry I disturbed your quiet afternoon with this futility that better can be ignored.

Buddhist swastika ??
It's actually an hindu religious symbol .
The word swastika in sanskrit means all is well.
The Adolf pic is taking the piss.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
..........///............. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol that invokes Lakshmi - the Vedic goddess of wealth, prosperity and auspiciousness...............///...............

Ok - I'm happy to be corrected if that is the case.
As far as I was aware, the previous lifetime ban on donation by men who have sex with men was lifted in 2008. It is obviously still possible to be rejected for meeting time-limited criteria high-risk criteria ("In the past x months have you.........?"), but that is different to rejecting people based on evidence of sexual orientation.
You make no sense at all.
Read that again and you will see you made a VERY discriminating and bigoted remark.
I'm done here.

Homosexuals have been allowed to donate for a few years now (at least according to the guidelines at the Red Cross Centre in Bangkok), so don't let that hold you back.
British people (anyone who has spent longer than 6 months in the UK from sometime in the late 80s to the mid-90s - I forget the exact dates) cannot donate though (again this is true at the Bangkok Red Cross, so I assume nationwide; it's because of the risk of nvCJD - same as the guidelines in the US - not sure about the whole country, but certainly New York).
NOT TRUE -- TOTALLY FALSE
Been to the Red Cross in Chiang Mai 5 months ago , wanted to donate and was to sign a document with the rules.
One of the rules on that paper was that you could not have had sex with same gender.

Donors' Qualifications:
1. 17-70 years of age
2. Excellent health, with the weight over 45 kg
3. No history of hepatitis or jaundice
4. No history of malarial fever for the past 3 years and no sexually transmitted diseases, infectious diseases, persistent cough, coughing up blood, hemophilia, blood-related diseases, asthma, allergy, epilepsy, long-term skin diseases, kidney diseases, heart problems, diabetes, thyroid.
5. No considerable weight loss
6. No behaviors of sexual promiscuity. No record of drug use.
7. Blood donation is not recommended during the 6 months after a medical operation, child delivery, or abortion. In case of receiving donated blood, allow 1 year before giving blood.
8. Female donors are not menstruating or pregnant.

Seems a bit different from when I last went there. No. 6 would probably disqualify a few expats...
You forgot homosexuals -- NOT ALLOWED TO DONATE
We are a danger for the world.

So . . . does anybody know if Rimping sells real greek yogurt? Chobani or some other kind of authentic greek?
Real Greek Yoghurt you will find in Big-C.
Big-C Sells a lot of great Imported or "foreigners' products as it is actually owned by (or part of) the French "Casino-Group" for far better prices than......

I would prefer her to rip open her shirt like Superman.
That's not going to happen, as such thing would be bad for the University's reputation and the girl would be reprimanded, if not severely punished.

Can't you people say anything positive once in awhile? Give credit where credit is due. I mean I for one and glad that they are here to try and protect us.
Crackdowns are not something that only the Pattaya police do and they are not part of an every day routine. Crackdowns are done in every country in the world. It is beyond their regular daily duties.
Who do you people call when you have been robbed or when your motorbike is stolen?
Well, I only call the police because my insurance needs a statement from them with an official stamp so I can claim compensation from my insurer.
You're not serious when you mean we would call them to get them to help us do you?

Hi Rinrada,
We usually stay at the Bonito Chinos Hotel in Nakhon Sawan. That is at 3/4th. of the distance between CNX and BKK and works fine for us every time.
Leave CNX some time in the morning and arriving in NS around 5-7pm....
Next day, no stress, wake up around 8, get a good breakfast, start driving and enter BKK just after the crazy morning rush....
Also on the way back,.... we leave BKK around lunch time,.... arrive in NS a few hours later (we drive relaxed) spend the evening there and continue the relaxed drive to CNX the following day.
We've paid between 750-1200 THB per room/night stay depending on season/availability (do give them a call to check as they sometimes have those busloads filling the hotel up for the night.)
Tel: 056-222277, 081-973-7070, 081-379-3131 / 7 Fax: 056-224411
Nakhon Sawan has plenty of other hotels/guesthouses in case you like something cheaper or more fancy,.... it is there.

I'm sure it are all just rumors and the whole thing is blown out of proportion? Judge for yourself.

If you're on Facebook there's a few groups dedicated to selling 2nd hand goods in Chiang Mai. I've recently seen a bandsaw on one of them.
Check out "Seconhand Chiangmai". There's a chap selling a bandsaw for 10,000 and a log cutter, also 10,000.
That's correct and they're mine :-)
Thanks for the reference bobl.
I also have them on ThaiVisa Classifieds

What's it like in Chiang Mai and Phayao? Heading there soon..
Terrible !!!

Who has excellent experiences and wants to share his/her contact?
I would prefer direct reference to a driver over a company.
I hate to put my family (my parents with their grand child) in one of those low flying silver coffins with a ya-ba lunatic SOB at the wheel.
Price is irrelevant, safety and reliability are top priority.
Dates are: Go 22 March PM and Back 30 March AM
Thank you.

Oooh bitchy.... But seriously, I think homosexuals will have a far greater risk of HIV, but if every donation is tested for positivity then why would there be an issue?
Well, you think wrong!!! You're stuck in the eighties.
Why not read a book and educate/update yourself.

I noticed the cng model is roughly 60,000 baht more over the non cng model honda city.
Cant seem to figure out the math but roughly how many km must I travel to break even.
Yes, I would like to know also what the approximate km's to travel to break even. I've tried myself to figure it out,but come to a road block.
60,000 baht seems pretty high cost to recoup unless you travel up and around country alot.
I've seen many LPG stations around town, I guess CNG hasn't caught on yet???
I won't bother you with the formula but it's safe to say you break even around 25-30.000 Kilometers in a year.
(Calculation on 7 yr lifespan from brand new car, Benzine/Gasohol prices and not Diesel, give or take a few K depending model, size, driving style and so on,...)
So if you drive considerably more, it's worth the investment.
If you drive less. It's not.
Edit: Correction calculation typo error. My bad!

Most of them don't even buy your car but will accept consignment only.
(Or, when they feel you are desperate they will offer peanuts....)
Consignment: Leave the car and a copy of the book,... You tell them how much you want for it and they will sell at the highest price possible and keep the profit.
At the moment a buyer shows and start bargaining they will call you and ask for an additional discount blablabla (so they can keep their original profit margin) and squeezing you more.
Ohh yes,.... they will clean the car and steam the engine,.... maybe even throw some quick paint job here and there..... and charge you for it.
Stay away from them as they are only used by people who are desperate for money.
Try to find a good busy location and drop the car there with your phone number on the roof and use the many classifieds websites.
Worked for me much better than those "tents"

Non-B Multiple Entry Visa from Penang - Current situation
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
I'm heading to Penang next week for a new Non-B Multiple Entry Visa.
Most info I could find on this site is more than 2 years old .../... therefore this question.
I've never been to Penang before, (last time I did this is 9 years ago when I applied in my hometown,... ) and I'm getting conflicting information.
Anyone with a recent experience? Please no hearsay.
Do I now (as company director) need both an employment contract and an invitation letter? If yes, does anyone has a template or sample? All my other documents should be in order, just a bit worried about those 2.
