Unless the puppeteers change their ways nothing will change no matter who is the face of government

Chao Fa West has become quite chaotic in the evenings. Backed up to Land & house yesterday as many needing to turn right & get to Patak Rd.

Just finished season 2 of Channel Zero. Extremely weird but I like weird.

They are definitely not multitasking as there appears to be no work on the road from circle to Home Pro.

Chao Fa West becomes quite a bottleneck during peak hours, probably more so in the evening.

I have sent 3 emails to SMC asking about losartan ingredient in Tanzaril but no response. This alone makes me suspicious especially as I am having prostate problems. I cannot comprehend they manufacture their own ingredients & would be good to know where they do source them from.

There is another big event which may happen as well. Bangkok is being looked at as a venue for the meeting between Prez Tweet & Dear Leader

The other day at 5pm I took a right turn out of PTT, on Chao Fa West, to head towards the Hayek. Traffic was backed up even further than the petrol station but could not see where it ended. Even in the heyday West was never backed up that far. There did not appear to be an accident so likely caused by manual traffic control combined with the ridiculous U turns.

It sure would be nice to find a farm in this area that is pesticide free

This shop based in Kathu might help  http://organicloverthailand.com/

There is no indication whatsoever-other than the gov'ts pronouncements-that the rate is going down.

 

Of course,because i always ACCEPT all these pronouncements at face value and in complete blind faith, my friends sometime suggest that I may be a few cards short of a full kitty..????

I guess you don't consider WHO to be a reliable source. Numbers came from them not Thai government

At least the rate is going down, that's positive, but there should be no pats on the back as it is still horrendously high. Effective policing will help but it will take a generational change in the way of thinking so have to start in the schools as the older generation are beyond teaching as they "know better being older & wiser".

Maybe if the elite start losing family members it might jolt them into thinking that current policy is not working although they are fairly well protected in quality vehicles & often with escorts.

So the 22 wheel truck shown in the OP is OK. 6 wheelers are almost same size so maybe will see a bunch of overloaded 6 wheel trucks

Bagwain's modular system works well but it would be the same as buying a whole new pool aside from excavation & pool equipment costs. We have installed PVC liners, as per Crossy's idea, in existing pools & poured new concrete inside old pools. The other option is to strip back all the tiles & apply new.

As for submersible pump I don't have any recommendation but they are always handy to have.

spoken like a true eggsburt who is not aware that a "salt water" pool is a chlorinated pool too.

Salt chlorinators produce chlorine gas from a natural product, salt. For me swimming in chemical chlorine pool & salt chlorinated pool is like chalk & cheese. I hate the feeling of a chlorine pool. A salt pool has a much better feel to it plus you can swim underwater with your eyes open as salinity is about same as that of the eyes. The first ever salt chlorinator we installed at a resort in Patong produced this comment from the GM "guests not complaining about sore eyes anymore & everyone saying it feels much softer on the skin".

And just like that the chaos returned today, as they re-opened the flow from Kata to Wiest Road East access the circle. With one change the traffic was once more backed up to Macro on the Rawai side. 

 

The past few weeks have been paradise, but alas it looks like we're back to square one again.

Do you mean Visit Rd or Chao Fa East

I don't normally use the Crocodile version but the Weber Color HR is pretty foolproof being a 2 part mix. Some of the colours are more expensive.

This shows there is a corruption problem.
 

This shows that the wealthy can influence the government to ignore the corruption problem. 

Simple as that.

I would say the wealthy have been been pulling the strings of every govt both elected or non elected & not only true for Thailand

The guy at Big C. His small shop is at the left entry at ground floor. Very nice guy and working fast. He did 2 for my Honda for 2.200 baht in not more then 30 min.

Like to go eat there sometimes so will check him out. He could not do it last year but said he was waiting on some special software

Looking to get a new immobilizer key for Isuzu. Anyone with experience at any of the key cutting places & can recommend they do it right. Isuzu asking Baht 3,000 & have to leave car there all day, that is after waiting  days for delivery from BKK. I suspect they get the blank & then take it to a key cutter anyway. One I spoke to in Lotus Thalang said he can do it in about 45 minutes, I think same price but much more convenient. He had a blank there exactly same as my key.

Coming back from Qatar a few years back there were some Indonesians heading home. Crew called for a doctor as one of them appeared quite ill. He recommended we land in Madras so she could be taken off for treatment. She was petrified at having to stay in some strange place although it may have saved her life

Eh? 

I don't know what you mean. 

I haven't seen any similar, positive posts. 

Several topics have been opened about it & am sure you will find quite a few positive posts
