  1. Cheers....yes looking for haired hides, cow skin rugs for the floor.

    Looking for 2 and might get 3 or 4 if price is right for later.

    We are just finishing a stone and teak wood bungalow with slate and sandstone floors, so a nice skin on them would look sweet and add to the country feel.

    I am prepared to try treating my own, not hurt to try.

    Also getting some sun dried ones sent to me and might experiment with one as how to rehydrate and tan or soften it to make suitable for a floor rug.

  2. Had a great feed at a restaurant in Ubon last week on way back from the east.

    Peppers Bakery and coffee shop....don't know street address but opposite the Airforce base, not so far from the clock tower in town at the roundabout.

    Their pizzas are the best I have ever tasted in Thailand so far, their Burgers were the best my Daughter had tasted and their cheesecake was certainly the best I have had here.

    Only thing bad was we could not fit more in or more time and try the breakfast and the home baked bread.

    Job very well done amongst superb surroundings.

  3. Found the Muslim place....but it moved.....have no fear, found it again.

    Going next week to secure one or 2.

    Was going to go today, but decided to organise the tanning process first and what I need.

    So, next question.....anyone know a good tanning method from ingrediants easily available here in Los ??

    Would prefer natural solution to chemicals, but would consider. I have tanned fox and rabbits before in my young days, but forgot now what we used.

    Have been recommended a solution using dog shit or pigeon shit....but i hate dog shit and would not try it. Pigeon shit is ok, but don't know where to get a bucket of it around here....rarely see pigeons in Khao Yai.

    Then tanning it in a bark solution which has soked to release the tannins prior, they mentioned Oak, but no Oak here, so need an alternative. Ideally the trees you see them all cutting up at the loacl sawmills would be good, easy to get the bark, but not sure if it is suitable.

  4. There was mention of being married...perhaps you could call the immigration ladies number i have that dealt with it at the time and I pushed through and got the in support of a thai child visa prior to Nov 08.

    Even your patriarch of Sunbelt stated that this was the case from the changes a few years ago.

    It is simple, 06 they changed the rules, 07 they allowed me to get it but stated you will not get it next year, 08 they denied it for the reasons mentioned above but I did not accept that and eventually got it again after considerable 'not taking their bullshit', 09 I got it again.

    So if they have then again changed the rules in 08, then so be it, but they were as I said last year when I pushed through their crap.

  5. Like i said...before it was deleted.....perhaps hogwash is a nicer term.

    There are posts in here about this exact topic of no more in suoort of thai child visa being allowed.

    They changed the rules which allowed anyone to get it, to only if you are married and over 50yo.

    I had this very visa refused to me for this reason 2 years ago, so how do you explain that ??

    So did a friend of mine and so did many others I heard.

  6. Thanks, shall go for a drive and a smell.

    I have tanned fox skins and rabbits in me younger days, but never a cow skin.

    I would be enthused to give it a go if you know what the ingrediants are for the tanning solution and if they are easily gathered here in Los.

  7. You know where that Cowboy/Western themed shop is that sells all the Wild West gear (?)

    hey, thought you had disappeared ??

    Did someone go for a drive and find you again ??

    yes, I know 3 places in PC, the first wanted 20k for a skin......I chuckled as I strolled out.

  8. What exactly is exacery?

    View any Immigration office anywhere in the world with the contempt that you are implying and what would you expect to receive,exacery?

    Contempt ?? Really.

    Nothing wrong with expecting some simple service, service that is available elsewhere, but through general stooopidity it is not in some.

    More people should have some balls and stand up....exacery as I did when they screwed or tried to with my support of a thai child visa last year.
