So the Phuket Taxi Assn has amassed more that 1000 illegal taxis of their own to complain about other illegal taxi's ???? Only in Thailand ! "They claimed that over 3,500 taxi vehicles had amassed at the hall, a figure that appeared to dwarf the 2,429 vehicles officially registered with the local authorities just a week prior."

Tunnels in mountainous areas could be a possibility for part of a Canal route.

Most unlikely to get access to Business Class lounge on arrival but if your return from Paris is business class then you will be able get in at Paris.

Sadly, the Health Ministry will not effect changes in the road carnage. It really is up to the Police and they are not motivated to enforce the regulations, so thousands of Thai's and others will continue to die on the roads every year,

I think your thoughts are about right. It's value will be greater if it has a Chanote but many small parcels as described, do not.

You could consider using "High pressure Water" to lead a pipe under the concrete. If your pump is not up to it you may have to borrow a bigger one, but should me manageable for the short distances you require. In your case you may need the flexibility of a hose rather than a pipe or alternately small sections of pipe and keep joining them together as it is fed through ?

1 Litre coming in but no limit going out !

I assume you are a wealthy person who does not object to paying an extra 5 - 8% on purchases ?

"When authorities approached for inspection, the group, armed with unidentified firearms, opened fire," "pills seized to 2,040,000 from 17 backpacks, along with one confiscated firearm, approximately 400 meters away from the border." So 15 drug smugglers were shot dead and only one firearm was recovered ???? None of the firearms from the dead smugglers were recovered od identified. Does that mean that their weapons were recovered by the 5 smugglers who escaped the ambush ? Not a bad result regardless !

Salad Dressing made from condensed milk. 1 can condensed milk 100 - 150 ml malt vinegar 1 - 2 heaped tbs of mustard powder 1/4 tsp salt Put in the blender for at least a minute and store in the refrigerator.

I don't believe the parents can get involved with their children's education because they suffered the same poor schooling and are left ill equipped to teach.

It would mean your camera would be constantly ON and drawing current from your battery that would soon run flat. Not a good idea.

Thanks for the warning.

I always believe that the Police officer in charge of the station where incidents like this happen, should also be moved to an inactive post and demoted, for not managing his staff correctly, and thus allowing them. If this happened, then I am sure proper "management" at the stations would provide much more efficiency.

If any of the notes are "recognisable" I am sure that the Central Bank would replace them. That is certainly the case in my country.

I suspect no toilet or bathroom facilities available ?

There are many poison baits available and most of them encourage the animals to drink water. This means that if the eat inside they will go out to drink and the water and poison together makes the die quickly. I know the Bayer (German Co) make a bait that I have bought in Thailand.

And Pigs might fly !

That was the headline, but it was not factual.

If the rent's being paid and the property is kept tidy without complaints from the neighbours, then I would renew it. I think you may have difficulty terminating the lease if all the above is OK, and the tenant wants to renew. I would also look closely at the insurance policy and ensure it covers building replacement in case of destruction. I am assuming the tenant pays for this cover ? With your next lease also require that the husband and wife both sign as Guarantor's of the lease, separately.

I think Pattaya has the same problems ?

And that's just this week !

Based on your comments I would have done exactly what you had done. Congratulations !
