Bullshit all of you.

With big respect.. It can happen...

Lived there a long time.. I have seen it many times..

I would go to chalong police and give the name.. They normally can find out of this shit...

C

Anyone think they have to move the police station...? I never thought about that before now...

In my experience it has worked with a pest control company.. Had some rats when house was new.. Never again later last 7 years...

Fantasticly written and spot on.. I actually put my morning coffee in the wrong pipe... Exellent!

fox news is back on CUS cable here in Kamala

its not news

its Entertainment!!

I could not agree more.. , but you forgot "dull entertainment"..

Well.. jokes aside.. I guess FOX news is the most right winged news channel in the world. Its not only fake news... they believe it themself..!! For me ... Its the last channel I would ever tune into...  :) 

I believe it is international.. Pretty sure... As long as you only are in bangkok in transit. If you overstay in bangkok its Domestic...It is about your end destination .....

I am almost 100% sure as I have almost done this wrong a couple of times already.

Also.. if beaches are your thing... Try ya nui in Nai Harn area.. Also Nui beach close to view point kata(difficult to get to).

Go to cinemas.. if you like movies. The fishermen people in Rawai and seafood restaurants in paklok.

Walk around Phuket Town for a change.. Lots of stuff happening... Take a lunch at Rang Hill.

Basicly... Do nothing...  :)

Thanks Merijn.. Its what I thought...

I saw from the news last week they talk about that you have to go to the university in town to see the required video now instead of at PTO. Can this really be true.. It seems like an extra service.. NOT one that says no more video at all at PTO or?

I am just renewing so gets by with one hour, but I dont think that makes a difference anyway.

Still dont get it...

I have to renew my driving license from 5 years to probably 2 since I am not on a non o Visa.. But point is..

Are you saying I can not see the one hour video at the office in Phuket Town anymore.. Does everyone has to go to the university to watch the movie? That does not make sense at ALL....

As a Scandinavian myself I am proud of them.. The sadness in this is that it is useless kind of. The oceans are covered with about 70 to 80& Plastic already.. It will refill in a week and also according to seasons.

Anyway.. Good job to them both.

BTW.. You do not need a work permit to clean.. Not even your own house or your street....

The worst is that the remaining % are having loans on the street to 10% a month interest. Thats not meassurable.....

Did not notice that.

 

Well here are some more options, but you will have to contact them for prices, but as they are imported from the US...:

Yes.. I have seen that actually.. I just was trying to avoid using a plastic bag first.. THEN stuff it in there.. Would be nice if that one was waterproof. But yes... Its an option.. It sure is...

Thanks

Dear Paahlman You chose to come and live in Thailand I presume?

If you cannot adapt to the availability of goods that are here and you are loathe to pay expensive

prices for the specially imported goods you want i have to ask what on earth are you doing here?

This applies to anywhere not just Thailand. Or perhaps you have the money but are just tight.

Do not worry about me.. 

I have lived in Phuket for 20 years already and know about that..

I just find it strange that such a normal thing as a pillow storage in the garden is so difficult to find.. Thats all..I am not tight at all.. But there is a limit for throwing money away.

Thanks... Will try the one in boaat lagoon... problem is the price also.. You can buy it here in Norway for 1200 baht... Compared to 7k it makes sense to bring it...

C

Ok xylophone.. Thanks... Will check that out again... Was there a month ago., but you never know...

No.. its not a fetish.. Many people have pillows in garden and in their salas.. It should be a compulsory asset to have in most shops... What does hotels do....? Carry the pillows 50 meters everyday into their basement? It has to be an easier way... but then again.. Maybe not...

Worst case I bring one on the plane... I never carry any luggage at all anyway.. All is here so no need to bring anything.. maybe exept this monster waterproof pillow compartment...hehe..

You could combine the two suggestions given by KB above. Use one of those common ice chests as the "core" in order to guarantee that the container would be waterproof. Then, have a local carpenter build a wooden shell around the plastic cooler and a wood top so that you all you would see is a nice wood piece of outdoor furniture.

Guys and girls.. You are missing the point..

This is something you have to walk 100 meter to find in any store in the rest of the world.. I have tried for 6 years to find it in Thailand.. WHY dont they sell it? It amazes me....

Go to IKEA and order it there or Lasada.co.th and order it on internet and pay for it, as it coms to your house.

 

Neither Ikea(bang na bkk) or Lazada have it..Not even the correct size.. NOTHING that resembles it at all....

Because it would not be correct ... It does not match the rest of the villa. There has to be other solutions.

Where in Phuket can I buy something like this.. ? I have tried the most common places in phuket town, homepro, index, homeworks, sb furniture, Mai mee...

It can also be dark brown rattan, but need space for at least 20 60x60 cm pillows for my sala. I attach a picture...The picture is from keter which does not sent it here. I have hear that Global up north east have something, but thats just too much.. Lazada got nothing.

Absolutely as I have had to do it many times myself..

Dynamic cooling close to mission hospital... 100 meter before in the intersection behind SCB.

Please ask your friend where I can get 'condo tours' from. Tourists just love that!

I can't find them all now they've built on mountains behind mountains behind other mountains. 

 

The concept of quality over quantity springs to mind...

 

Please also ask him where he holidays with his family?

Patong Richard...

As a friend of tourism minister in bangkok I know something...

First of all they will build the cables underground starting in two years....

They have already done that in Phuket town on two sois....

Number two..... Thailand is in 1950... Either accept that or at least live with it...

Sincerely

Chris
