@Will27 I just started Underbelly - S01 is very dated. ???? The acting and production seem a bit cardboard. Let’s see.

Oh <deleted> .. what a load of crock. I would love to see Idris Alba as Bond, but I think he should have taken it when the rumours started flying many years ago. A woman? .. no, please not. Theo James looks good, Damson Idris would be awesome, same Pappa Essiedu - Harry styles .. no thanks.

It’s tragic that this has been axed, it’s easily the best TV he’s ever done, imho. I just finished the series last night, not as good as the first, but highlights the level of BS bureaucracy faced by farmers in the UK.

I have 3BB - They supply me with a Huawei Echolife EG8010H ONT - it makes a nice neat install. I run this to my Unifi router, and APs

This is for the custom made Rattan furniture? Am I correct. I think you could link to the previous post. I didn't read the comments above, have you tried greasing the wheels?

How can having one virtual shopping card be “insanely complicated”? Like I said, you are getting a swift refund confused with answering a complaint. Kasikorn made it complicated with their moving dates, lies and winding down a service without wanting to tell anyone.

I had 99B taken multiple times from my virtual shopping card that’s only registered Lazada and was a continuing occurrence, the bank we fine to refund, often within mins but couldn’t provide a new virtual shopping card for high would have been the best solution, told me multiple dates when they would be available, made so many excuses why and when, blamed the IT dept. and then after a year removed the virtual shopping card completely. Yeah, sure they pay up but that’s not always answering a complaint.

I think it’s a common misconception that consumer protection laws are not in place - because I gather there are some. But like, half the battle we had was trying to speak to a real person at Shopee, when we did get in contact with someone at Shopee, she ran rings around us, “it was out of warantee” she said, I countered with “the size chart was wrong” “It’s fake” - she had an answer to it all. It’s not just Shopee, try making a complaint to your bank, virtually impossible to get an acceptable conclusion.

Kind of why I deleted the Shopee app - I ordered from a Thai company, who then drop shipped from China, when the wrong size appeared, the seller refused any return as “it was ordered from China” and Shopee wouldn’t do a thing because the warranty time had expired. Now I’m the proud owner of an under armor wind break perfect fit but the sleeves are two inches too short. Every seller thinks they are cleverer than the customer these days.

That’s a coincidence, my buddy had a volunteer visa, he’d never been to KKC either, he hadn’t volunteered for anything either, but I live in KKC and although quite efficient had to jump through hoops for my first home visit, supply two witnesses from my “moo” number, which wasn’t easy. Money and agents talk at KKC, while honest applicants are given a hard time.

Ganglands is back on Netflix S02 starts on Friday - the first series was pretty good. New episodes of Your Honour seems to be taking forever to appear, so currently watching The Last of Us and finally got around to watching Subarra which was recommended here a few years back. I also noticed a new series of the Irish show, Smother had returned.

This isn’t the place to mention, search around.

Agreed - It’s rumored that Taksin is owed a few favours, if called in, i don’t think anyone would be in a position to make a challenge.

I can see a theme emerging Gong are a band that have always been present in my life, from discovering radio gnome invisible, along with acid at 18 years old, then tracks like Adrienne and down wind when playing chilled out sets in trendy bars. Awesome

I don't know if I want piece of mind, but yeah - I just want to know that I can live the rest of my life in peace. The plot is rectangular, on the first 12M there is a planter of either side, 1 brick high. I want to be able to plant a hedge without having some little <deleted> leaning over the wall with a tape measure. Not too much to ask is it? Yes, will be at the tessaban next week.

No .. that's an idealistic approach. There is no way this guy is going to get over this. The whole village hates him. He is complaining about a necessary 6" horizontal red line on the wall, the opposite side of the wall to him. To be able to see the red line, he has to lean over the wall. Who in their right mind complains about this? lol .. carry on sweeping the road.

Yeah, topping off the land has never been an issue, which I thought it would be. The other side wall looks like it would fall over and I was really worried. Our land is 10cm higher than his - 30cm from level of the nearest tarmac road, his is 20cm. Yeah, the water is a mystery - I think he has built an extra shower or washing machine or outside kitchen and tapped into the land drain which runs either side of the property. But totally, when we construct our little wall to keep the water off our land, it will create even more of a green slimey puddle over the width of the road. Lucky we are talking about a soi where every house is in a rai of land, that mosquito nursery was infront of our land before.

Apparently, the tessaban is the first call, they will know where the boundary is. The fortunate thing is, the guys at the tessaban are 1) the guy who drew up our plans 2) the engineer who signed the plans off sits next to the surveyor ???? So, the tessaban are a phone call away. Another thing that put fuel on the fire, was the speed which we got our plans approved (because we used the tessaban). The next door neighbor waited 6 weeks for his plans to be approved by the tessaban, ours was done within days, when he started kicking up I remembered that they should have been left for public reaction for a month or something, we seemed to circumvent this, somehow. The solicitor informed us we can visit the tessaban ourselves, but if we need proceed further we can use his services. Ideally, I would have liked a relationship like we have with the rest of the village, my wife disappears with food for people to sample, they are amused that there is a westerner that they can come and talk sheet with - the next step is, some guy who doesnt speak to me or my wife, no problem, I can live in silence - but I dont need a small man leaning over the wall with a constant "you cant do that" .. its laughable, easily the most small minded attitude I have ever come across in Thailand, and just my luck, I bought land next to him.

Thanks for the comment. No - the teacher is another neighbor, she is as good as gold, she lives opposite the little man. She has a problem with him dumping his grey water on the road as it's right in front of her front door, she has to drive through it to get to her house on a daily basis. They think it's toilet waste, despite my best efforts to set them straight. OK, glad to hear you had mediation by various means, I think this would be a start, because I think it would come down in our favor if someone with some power told him to stop behaving like a 5 year old. The guy is someone from out of the area, my wife, although isnt from the village, is an Issan girl. The neighbor is from below BKK and is wife is from Malay borders, they dont speak the local lingo, and locals (who are pretty much a couple of extended families, dont understand why he has come to our village making trouble. Really? Our builder seems to think there is such a rule. I will call my solicitor today - I did some reading up on Siam Legal last night, there are some interesting things that the guy might not understand, for example a person is financially liable for water damage caused by a person with higher land .. fat chance of anyone paying up, but knowing this kind of info and similar may be enough to get him to <deleted>. Unfortunately I dont have the budget to build a wall the length of the property. I will however, grow a hedge for 12M next to his wall, the next section will be covered by the garage, which is 2M away from the wall, then a corner for the birds, compost heap, ong's. The front wall is going up now, along with a little decorative border to keep his grey water from flowing onto "my" section of the government land. Can he have a say over what I do to his wall on my side? We are in the process of building a front boundary wall, hopefully this will stop a lot of the interference, and also this is difficult, but I'm trying to stop the builder from taking the bait, the guy next door isnt paying his wages for personal consultations, if the guy wants to say something, he needs to come to my wife or myself.

Talking of which - my system auto downloaded an Israeli series of the same name (well, the English translation) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7181728/ It looked good but I deleted it as it was causing naming confusion, I will download it again and take a look. I just finished the latest series of Manayek and Fauda, might as well continue the theme. Along with Your Honour I'm currently watching Darkness: those who kill - is always good, not so brutal as previous series but still some pretty vivid scenes.

Can anyone explain where I legally stand on this matter? I bought just under a rai of land over covid, when we first went to see the land, we called at a neighbors house to get the low down, a teacher nearing retirement - nice as pie. We asked about the adjoining land (1.5 Rai) which had been walled, grassed and planted but yet to be built on, no one knew the guy. FF, We finally moved from the Deep South to Khon Kaen to begin our build - the house next door was now built and occupied. We called and spoke to the teacher again - they had had issues with the owner of the new built house - he has a land drain pipe that seems to flow with water all the time, emptying water onto the road. The owners solution was to put an angle pipe and direct his grey water onto our land. (He has cemented over the government ground at the front of his property) We met with the owner of the new house, everything was nice, we were invited to see their house with the prospect of using the same contractor, no problem. Every time we were at our land they would drive, stop and ask how we are progressing. We never mentioned the pipe and water flowing to our land. A few month later, we were backfilling the land, my wife moved the pipe to the direction of his .. he knew almost immediately and came charging out. Maybe the pipe is connected to a washing machine or shower, no one is sure. He accused me of doing it and ever since then he has been causing issues. We built a rear boundary wall, my builder was a bit sloppy and he just presumed that it would be ok to use his corner post - he let him calculate the spans, build the footings before leaning over the wall and asked him what he thought he was doing using the post, the builder replied that in 30 years he had never experienced this kind of behavior. I needed to build another corner post adjacent to his. We installed a metal pole to receive the power, on a corner of our land, the neighbour leans over and tells the builder he cant build the footing within 10 cm of his wall. Now we have a full crew on the land - I am building a boundary wall and gate at the front. The earth is dirty and smelly due to his dumping of water, so I put the footings for one or two brick planter, to keep the water from our land, yet again he appears and tells the builder he cant build within 10cm of his property - this is government land. He shouldn't have concreted over it. What gives? We have a chanote line .. this seems to be on the edge of his wall, why is it always on me to be 10cm away from his wall? I dont understand. Shouldn't we both be 20cm away from each other? He should be 10cm away from the chanote line? Just to see the level of childishness that he is at, yesterday he stood on the road and shouted to the builder that he wasn't happy about the surveyor spraying a red mark to set the level of the floor and told him to clean it off. The other neighbor (who also has a red mark on the back of their wall) is as good as gold, they allowed us to use their electricity and we split the bill - everyone other neighbor came to our "Sow Ek, Sow Tor" celebration - I hate these mumbo jumbo celebrations, but I was moved by how much the local village people love my wife, the locals all came out and participated, so we dont have a lack of support. We invited the neighbor but he didnt attend. Am I going to live with this guy and and his 10cm rule for the rest of my living days? Am I going to have some small man leaning over my wall when I plant a hedge or lean a spade against the wall. I have no plans to build onto the wall, maybe just a 2 brick high planter to plant a hedge. How much control does this guy have over anything I do on my land? The village headman knows the guy, he says he's a selfish idiot, but hasn't been involved and is the usual non-confrontational type (there seems to be no other issues in the village, just this one guy), the problematic neighbor has had a couple of run ins with the locals, including his assistant / village handyman who built a boundary wall. I'm sure he is breaking rules with by releasing grey water onto the soi, but I dont really care, as long as its not on my land - it creates a pool of green slime on the road, but we have all got to live together. Sorry, for the long post, the guy is doing my brain in - the guy is behaving like a child. The situation is beyond solving, everyone else is at fault - the tessaban because they dont have mains drainage and never will have, the neighbors, the headman, me, my builder. Any advice welcome (other than sell the land and move) I can't wait for the first day that the guinea fowl go out and over the wall to clean his grass, and he tells me to instruct my gang not to go onto his land.

It's the collective 27000B's of the whole organization - add that to the xxx number of 500B's the small time fines across the country that night then add = every other scam, extortion and racket that the RTP have the fingers in, it all adds up to a nice number, and who gets the biggest share? the people at the top of the tree. They must burst into hysterics every time they get in to their car to drive home after a hard days work.

That's if the intention for the police was to prosecute, it would be probably true to say that their main intent is to extort. These late night checkpoints sole purpose is to collect revenue by various means, that street level revenue is essential as it filters through to the guys at the top, those masked three officers at the press conference shouldn't be shocked in any way, they all benefit from this revenue collection. It's been said so many times "rotten to the core"

One thing I liked about kasikorn was the virtual shopping card, it allowed me a buffer to keep my real card number from the internet. It turned out to be a good thing, as a year ago this card was compromised, but the only place i used it to was Lazada and PayPal but at this time they stopped issuing new ones - I had been enquiring over the past year on a monthly basis when the system would be updated to allow new applications, at first they gave me dates, then extended into two months time and then no fixed schedule. Now I see that the shopping card has been phased out and a new card issued, via the app - before you could only apply for certain features via k-cyber, due to security - now they seem to have done a 360 and the phone app is more secure .. I’m not overly happy with the direction they are heading.

There are quite a few things that K-Cyber does that the app doesn't do. Some of them are safety features. I don't doubt you, just sayin'
