    When I moved to Thailand in 1998 Marlboro Lights were 33 Baht a pack, I think they're about 170 now.

    Come with me, they are 30THB per pack or 280 the box. And all the ASTRO packs shown above will be sold in the same shops in and around Hat Yai. It is a win win situation for smokers, the police and the army. Come to where the flavour is, come to Songkhla province. We also offer 70% methanol free alkohol reasonably priced for your corner shop to create those tasty fruit and honey drinks. Why go to BIG-C?

    Here is a clarification from US embassy.

     

    It should be pretty clear by now, that there will be no amnesty extension, and you have two weeks to apply for a new visa/extension, or get a letter from your embassy (US embassy won't do it anymore). If you can't get those, you have to leave Thailand or you will be considered on overstay starting August 1st.

     

    I would personally not bet on a miracle, especially with the new cases in Rayong and the rampant xenophobia around Thailand, and instead take action today by contacting your embassy/immigration office.

    ....same as the German Embassy.

  3. I can imagine that there will be a lot of opposition, especially when one looks at the facts, what happens upon the completion of the project.

     

    Roughly 20.000 tons of coal will be unloaded from ships in the deep-water port into wagons per day! Then these 200 wagons will be transported from the port to the Thepha 2.200 MW power plant, unloaded and burned there, creating more emissions, particles and CO2. Besides more heavy industries will settle there.

    The environmental impact is huge. The amount of coal dust produced will cause respiratory problems and a particle pollution in an unprecedented scale.

     

    The marine life in this area, now the livelihood for its inhabitants, will be destroyed. Chana and Thepa will surely lose their charm as a holiday destination with their pristine beaches and local coulor.

     

    The project will kill more jobs, than it creates, and support an energy policy which should be phased out instead promoted. This project is aimed to produce huge profits for the EGAT and other big players involved, but surely not to improve the quality of life in the area, or reduce the CO2 emissions of Thailand.

    Both districts have a long coastline, and is therefore predestined for small wind power units, on- and offshore. Sun is there in abundance. Solar collectors (thermo and photovoltaic) could cover the roofs of almost every house, a feeding compensation could be paid for overhead electricity produced. This model could be promoted and used all over Thailand, thus making dirty power plants redundant.

     

    But GREED rules in Thailand not prudence and common sense. Decentralized energy production is a red rag for the EGAT, therefore the opposition will be lied to and oppressed.

     

     

  4. "Police said that only stakeholders directly concerned with the project will be allowed into the compound of the school, and all of them will be subject to search and safety screening.

    Plainclothes police have also been deployed to identify instigators of any disruption between those who oppose the controversial project and its supporters."

     

    ...and they call that a public hearing.

    Have you looked and seen what this "filter" consists off? just salesmanship, a piece of filtrate does more filtering than what they install, fact is that's just about all it is, a small piece of filtrate like material.

    For me I will buy only Daikin Inverters at this time, I used to swear by Mitsu, but Daikin are now a better product IMO.

    How you use & size said AC depends on personal preference, you need to have some understanding, "one size" doesn't fit everyone's needs.

    ...ja,ja,ja.....
