  1. Good job that you managed to convince a Thai woman to change her mind. 😄 I'm actually not a million miles away here in Roi Et so if your needs change, i can chuck a few coins in the mail.
  2. Do they have to be American coins? I have a large selection from numerous countries that I use when teaching. I'm sure I could spare a few.
  3. I suspect that vehicle it is a mobile music bus that can be hired for your celebration. Looks very similar to something I recently saw/heard at a local wedding. They roll up to the venue and start blasting out their wares for everyone in the village to 'enjoy'. The Thais love their bass! The one I encountered was also bright red.
  4. I'm guessing it's that time of the year where you can set your watch by the arrival of the daily KL monsoon...
  5. Any words I use to express how I feel about the OP will be automatically deleted by the AN algorithm so I shall simply add him to my blocked list instead. Karma has a way of dealing with these low-lifes...
  6. I've taken on two dogs this way. Ostensibly, they belonged to two different neighbours but after bringing them home for treatment and food, there was no pushback from their former owners. Both dogs considered me their new dad and made no attempt to return to their original abode. Go for it and please help this poor pup.
  7. I'm not saying that I'm too competitive - however... I couldn't let GarryP's post go unanswered. ☺️ ???? One of the great things about Issan is the general lack of hills - just over 1m of climbing for every horizontal kilometre.
  8. Qatar was recommended to me as a good airline for pet transport. You need to advise separately that you have animals to travel with you and of course, there will be an additional charge. They can go on another flight but I preferred to travel on the same plane. I used them when coming to Thailand from Saudi Arabia which included a stopover and change of aircraft. Everything went smoothly and I have no complaints with their service. I was hoping for an option to take him in the cabin with me but that wasn't possible at the time, The paperwork was all done via an agent so not sure if a similar service exists in Thailand or the UK.
  9. I think most of us cyclists have mild OCD to varying degrees. ???? I upload my rides to the Garmin website which automatically links to Strava. However, I also maintain a spreadsheet to monitor the wear rate on my tyres, chain etc. It also calculates what my average distance should be for each of my remaining rides in order to reach my monthly goal.
  10. What is your user name on Strava? I tried searching for StreetCowboy but no joy.
  11. The one thing better than two dogs is.... four dogs ????
  12. I took a friend's remains to the UK. Went as checked-in luggage rather than carry on. No problem leaving Thailand and did not declare anything. Same with arrival - went through x-ray machine but nothing flagged. Did not take any documentation or embassy letters.
  13. I usually buy Nexgard from my vet. A single dose for dogs up to 50kg costs 380 baht. However, I cut it into four equal pieces so it can treat four dogs up to 12kg each. Best practice is to repeat the treatment after four weeks to ensure 100% effectiveness. I've done this for various dogs in my neighbourhood. Are you close to a vet who may have cheaper medicine available?
  14. My friend paid for private treatment at a government hospital in Roi Et. It cost him 100k baht. He was very happy and able to play golf again after just a few weeks.
  15. ???? Fun fact: Every standard Rubik's cube can be solved in a maximum of 20 moves from any starting position, no matter how scrambled.
  16. A friend of mine paid 'private' rates at a government hospital. His operation was about three months ago. All in, it cost ฿100 000. He was back on the golf course after three weeks of recovery.
  17. I had the same issue and bought a replacement basket from a main dealer about three years ago. I don't remember the cost as it was so low as to be incidental. Maybe a few hundred baht.
  18. I flew last week from ROI to DMK. Wearing a mask was the only requirement. I was not asked to show my vaccination certificate although I had it with me - just in case...
  19. My procedure took eight months for a lower, rear molar and cost 48 000 baht. I was offered three price options and chose the highest. This was done in Isaan about one year ago.
  20. Looks like a group ride is not possible as we're all just a little too far away from each other. ???? I tour the rice paddies in Roi Et province and sometimes make it over the Kalasin and Maha Sarakam borders. I aim for 1000km each month. The worst part about the sandy soil is that the fine dust finds its way into the various bike mechanisms and is a pain to clean. Otherwise, happy riding...
