how do you remove limescale from tiles and windows?
HomePro (and others) sell a good produce. A little pricy but it works: HG limescale remover The best way, of course, is to not let it build up in the first place. Which is why I wipe the shower after each use. (Two years and not limescale buildup. Clear glass.) Rather 3 minutes after each use than money, effort, and time to clean when it's bad.

British Couple Outraged Over £9 Tin of Heinz Beans in Thailand
Just buy a different brand. It doesn't need to be Heinz. I remember my Dad paid $3 for one(!) Mangosteen in Canada. So really it's the same anywhere.

What to do when it's too hot in Bangkok?
Sun blocking film on the windows. Sun blocking paint on the outside walls. Better quality windows. Curtains. A more powerful A/C.

Is it safe to wear a Rolex around Bangkok??
Yes. (Been wearing one for ages.) No. (If you plan on hiring a hooker.)

I got scammed by a taxi driver!
This really shouldn't be news to anyone anymore. Like the tourist complaining that the 100 Baht Ray-Ban sunglasses were fake.

How Long Does Standard Thai Post Take TH to UK? Thai Post website sucks...
If the system in the UK is better than Canada (which it most likely is because Canada Mail sucks) then it will take a week max.

Legalise drugs please
Legalize drugs to "ease the suffering" of one person who could obtain prescription drugs... what have you been smoking, are you crazy???

Is there a way to get money back if sent online to someone who scammed you?
Go to police and make a report. Take that letter to the bank. The bank will freeze the other person's account. (Maybe even reverse the charge.)

Any good lawyers to sue well established computer store?
An actual payout is far removed from winning a lawsuit. And until that point you'll be stuck with all fees. This is not the States. Arbitrate. Ombudsman.

no neutral line in light switch... recommended practice to add
Apart from not doing as instructed, the electrician did nothing wrong. A neutral to the light is not required. Obvious answer would be to pull new wires, but whether that is worth the effort??? (I rewired a few switches and outlets in our house.) PS: "Most electricians here are idiots." and I'm quoting our interior designer and head contractor. Having seen some of the work and their disregard for requests, I'm open to believing that.

Western Liberals: How Do You Justify Your Stay in Thailand?
I don't have to justify my stay here to anyone. I don't have to justify my political views to anyone.

7-Eleven restroom use in Thailand depends on branch discretion
From my experience, if you ask politely and it seems like a real emergency, then they'll let you use the bathroom which is reserved for staff.

Do Thai men get jealous we take all the hot women?
No, because the vast majority of hot and well-bread Thai women rarely marry foreigners.

Put those SEATS back !
Flying is miserable (maybe different in Business or First). I just accept 14h of misery and get on with it.

Where can I donate somewhat "inappropriate" books?
To the OP: Contact Dasa. Email them a list (in writing, no pictures) of what you've got. They don't like walk-ins and "here take this stuff".

House book for farang
It's very easy if you're legally married. Go to district office. If your marriage is not registered, I believe your wife needs to submit some documents why you as a resident in the house want a yellow book. (That's what an ex-colleague was told.) Your district office can confirm that.

China Eastern
I can't say about layover, but I was rebooked on a China Eastern flight because I missed my connection. It was very good (plane, food, service).
