  1. A good dog, not a moron. We have used well trained dogs for 30 years. Never a break in and happy dogs doing their job. Your pup has an acute set of senses and is not bothered by using his loving, loud voice to notify you when he isn’t a fan of someone. But is persistent barking and the threat of a less-than-playful pup enough to keep the burglars at bay? Here’s what a few sources had to say: The Guardian posted an article which highlighted a study of 12 burglars. Those interviewed “named loud barking dogs, strong heavy doors, a TV being switched on and locked UPVC windows as the next most likely to put them off breaking into a home.” An investigative report by KGW8 out of Oregon surveyed 86 burglars. The study concluded that if “a homeowner had a big, loud dog most burglars would stay away.” One of the convicted burglars even said, “dogs are a deal breaker for me…Big breeds, home protectors are the best to keep people out.” Career burglar Jack Black revealed in his memoir that dogs wreak havoc on a burglar’s well-laid plans: “Dogs, young or old, are the bane of the burglar’s life.” A story by the Miami Herald touted the benefits of dogs for burglary prevention in a report which interviewed a K-9 services expert. Tony Guzman, a specialist with three decades of experience said, “For deterrence, there’s nothing like a canine. It’s the fear factor…They just fold up when a canine shows up.” Rest easy knowing that all the love you have for your canine companion is well-deserved!
  2. Taew is line, so its two rows of seats, not two seats. ???? Originally always a pickup with two rows of seats along the side. It has now morphed into Si Lor Leks also being called songtaews. These are the little things with a daihatsu motor that roll up and down the soi's of say Thong Lor.
  3. Perhaps you should have read one or more of the articles published about her. 1. The FBI said a driver suspected in the hit-and-run killing of a 22-year-old in Oakland Township on New Year's Day has fled the country. In a criminal complaint filed this week, the FBI alleges that Tubtim "Sue" Howson from Oakland Township fled to Thailand two days after the crash. 2. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is working with the FBI and calling on the Thai government to extradite Howson back to the states. 3 The FBI contacted the Royal Thai Police on Feb 12 to track her down as Thailand and the US have an extradition treaty.
  4. I hope I am wrong but... I only know you can waive duty on household items brought here from abroad. https://apps.customs.go.th/list_strc_simple_neted.php?ini_content=pbc_01&ini_menu=menu_pbc&left_menu=menu_pbc_01&lang=en&root_left_menu=menu_pbc&left_menu=menu_pbc_01 I think my wife knows every tax deduction known to man and believe me I have not heard of tax allowance for home appliances bought here,
  5. get a dog that barks, train him to guard.
  6. Is this the Sativa dominate one? Franco's Lemon Cheese?
  7. marin

    lockdown

    Where did you hear that?
  8. I have lived here for 40 years and never heard that. Sounds like the same person who said if it rains on your head you will get sick. Folktales.
  9. Great day. How about you?
  10. Its not so much a shared life. Its about showing she has reason to come back. IE, family, job, property, investments. Until she can show something there its going to be a hard road for her.
  11. Sorry about that, its the lead story on their website. Again the links are not allowed. The BBC is also covering it as well as social media.
  12. She was apprehended in Ratchburi today. Big Joke held a press conference with her as well. Can't post a link to the Post so this will do for now.
  13. There are two. How long ago did you break both arms????? Sorry to be rude but come on......
  14. A very good ruling indeed.
  15. She had diplomatic immunity. "Sue" does not.
  16. I think you know the answer by now. You admit its a status symbol to your wife and herself. You now say she has broken the screens plural of other phones. 10,000 baht gets her a new Samsung A 73, hopefully she will love it. Ask her why she prefers Apples IOS to an Android operating system and see what kind of answer you get.
  17. So you actually plan to study the Thai Language?
  18. Yes but you learn the value of work. No don't buy her an I phone for her first phone. As others have said no point if its mostly for social media, games and audio/video. If she is going to use it in her studies or has the knowledge of all the bells and whistles on an I phone okay.
  19. Think this has to be backward. Suwanabhum to Don Muang to Hua Hin, at least you are going the right direction.
  20. Thanks Jack that is what I thought, but no mention of marriage until later so.....
  21. How can you do that? Sorry I am curious as you mention your intent to apply for the marriage visa.
  22. You simply need to have your landlord register you as living in his house or condo. Once he does that you can record your residence. I dont think you would have to do a 90 day report as you dont stay 90 days. But you do have to register where you live.
  23. Do you always get upset so easily? They had their tm30. So when you took them to immigration they were carrying the completed TM30 forms along with their screenshots from the hotel or resort? Why do they have to leave?
  24. By far the best answer for sure. You will be hitting the worst of the morning commute, and its better to be safe than sorry. Those mentioning rail links, red lines and the such forget. If you have luggage it is next to impossible especially with the commuters using the Rail Links.
  25. Could you post that one more time? I have no idea what you said. Thanks.
