Hopefully it won't end up like this:

I can understand why the NS bypass and AH1 north of Nakhon Sawan are in such disrepair.  For the last two days the NS road grader, roller, water truck and 2 dump trucks have been upgrading the dirt road in front of my house that goes about 1.5 kilometers further on through the corn and cane fields, the "road to nowhere"!  Normally they come through about twice a year with the grader and a few loads of dirt and that's it, but this year they hauled dirt for two days and built up and rolled the road, looks like a dirt racetrack.  But what they did was block all of the natural drainage which was normally across the road so when rainy season arrives there will be a lake on one side as they did not put in any drain pipes.  Can't wait to see the mess, but it's good for now!

Who in their right mind would vote for him?  He's the guy that Trump took lessons from regarding immigrants and immigration.  Remember he was PM when the Rohyinga immigrants tried to,land in boats and he had the motors and all food and water removed from them and towed them back out to sea!

Here's a small chest freezer  available delivered from Lazada: http://www.lazada.co.th/haier-103-37-hcf108h-2-ww-212019.html

I use it to make gravlox, I'm half Swedish,  and dill pickles. 

From where I live if I walked to pick up the Post at the newsstand, they would probably find me lying on the side of the road as it's 12 kilometers.  If I did make it, it wouldn't matter as they have no English newspapers.  If I want it I have to order it in advance.  The post office does deliver here about once a week but they still leave the mail at my wife's restaurant in the village which is now run by by niece and delivery from there is hit and miss, normally a miss as she is as hair-brained as I am forgetful.

But being forgetful isn't that bad as I never see any reruns on True Visions that everybody is complaining about and I never eat any leftovers!

It's grown here.  I don't grow it myself but I do buy it at the local Wednesday market here in Nakhon Sawan Province.  I have to order it one week and they have it the next.  I think that it is grown up north as it not really used in Thai food, but in Lao food.  It's Thai name is Pak Chee Lao!

I use my 5 year driver's license for my retirement extensions.  When my wife died I went in and asked the IO and she said the the DL was fine!  Different offices, different rules always blamed on the "new boss"!

Kinda in the wrong forum unless there is a new requirement by the MFA that you must have furnished accommodations before they will issue a visa.  Should be in Chiang Mai forum!

Next years's exercise will commence on February 16th with the Chinese and will be named "Red Dog"!

His family probably owns a few restaurants with a declining "plastic bag" take out service!

The hazards of surrendering your passport to anyone!  It's obvious that the cruse line staff were too lazy to search through the stack of passports that they had and just dumped the whole mess on importations desk !

next meter is 15/45.  Here's the PEA table.

Found the table:

Electric Meter cost1.doc

The cost of the new meter, 15/45, is between 4700 and 4800 baht.  I tried to find the table but ....!  Maybe Crossy has it stored  and will post it.

Most likely caused by a sugar cane burn on a windy night!

KTW on line https://www.ktw.co.th/search?as=true&cid=0&q=drill press vice&Sid=True&Isc=true and Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20170131133017&SearchText=drill+press+vice have them.  KTW probably the fastest as their site shows in stock Bangkok.  I've ordered tools from them in the past with no problems!

Most likely will be built in Malaysia to avoid high import duties!  Customs will need to increase the size of their "parking lot"!

Only candidates with previous evangelical experience need apply!  Robes and other required paraphernalia not provided!

Ticks are very difficult to control, the first area to address is where the dog sleeps.  The ticks live and breeed in the bedding and it must be treated periodically to keep it clean.  Washing doesn't rid the bedding of the ticks and eggs.  I found that a good and safe treatment is Bayticol.  I mix it myself and use it as a spray.  It can also be used as a bath or a dip.

Frontline and Frontguard both contain fipronil and methoprene, Frontguard being much cheaper since it's made in China (100 baht/application vs 350 baht/application), but neither are repellents,.  The ticks actually have to get on the animal and bite before they are killed.  Most likely the shots that you are getting at the vet are ivermectin.  It's available and the shots are easy to give yourself under the skin on the back of the neck.  I never found any of the above very effective if you don't keep their bedding clean.  I have raised Golden Retrievers here in farm country and ticks are a real problem.

Don't forget, heart worm is also a blood parasite and is carried by mosquito and not ticks.  I found that ivernectin works well with these parasites but have never had much luck in controlling ticks or mites in doses that are safe of the dog. There are many other oral preventative measure available. Frontline/Frontguard does not protect the dog for this parasite.

If you live in Bangkok, most of the septic tank overflows drain into a common drain and then into a canal somewhere.  Although it would be a circuitous and adventuresome route for the snake, he could enter through that overflow and up through the toilet.  I once had a Tokay Gecko sitting in my toilet ready to strike on whoever sat down, but he got in from the house.  I tried to catch the bugger the night before and lost him and was glad that I looked before I sat!!

Read somewhere that he received a tweet that his next executive order should be the creation of Article 44!!!

My wife's restaurant used the cheapest oil that she could find, brand/kind didn't matter, and also rendered pork fat.

She would never use that oil at home and always used the yellow top one there.
