My wife does the same as the previous posts, but she uses the blow dryer after toweling him off. He is a spoiled little bugger.

Another poster also recently said that online reporting has been discontinued.

Can this be confirmed by Ubonjoe or other experts?

I define a Farang house as one that you live inside of, rather than outside like the Thais.

I'll be sure and put this on my "must miss" list.

Things don't work here to any standard of any kind, and that's damn hard to adjust to.

Right on!

And if you can't believe The Royal Thai Police Deputy Commissioner General, who can you believe?

A lot of the fault lies with the authors of books and articles on "best places to retire" etc. They paint a very inaccurate picture of Thailand as Paradise. Their objective is to sell books, not provide helpful information. Years ago it was Mexico, then Costa Rica. It's very hard to to know the pros and cons of moving to a foreign country without spending an extended stay first.

If I knew then what I know now...

Good looking bunch.

If he didn't have the stupid camera, he never would have seen what a good guy the bum was. Hence, he would feel no guilt or shed any tears.

So, the moral of the story is, don't buy the camera.

I live in Phrae province, northern Thailand. TOT has just rolled out their Fiber Optic internet service in my area, and are offering a fairly attractive promotion to switch from their ADSL service. Installation is 119 baht, new router is 1,605 baht, monthly fee is 700 baht for 20Mbps down /7Mbps up. 2 year contract required. They have already checked my location, and confirmed there are no extra charges.

I know the speed numbers only apply to within Thailand, and that's my issue. They offer no estimate as to international sites, and of course, that's my primary purpose. I have been pretty satisfied with their 10 Mbps ADSL service for nearly 6 years, but would welcome being able to double my speed. But before I commit to a 2 year contract, I'd like to know what I can realistically expect in improvement over my ADSL in regard to international sites.

I have read mixed reviews here, with a lot of posters saying there is little difference in international speeds due to the ISP's minimal purchase of bandwidth. I'd like to hear some feedback from users in the north who have made the switch from ADSL to Fiber 2U. It all sounds good, but would hate to give up my satisfactory ADSL for something that may be less optimal and unreliable.

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

The picture speaks for itself.

Mr Yutthachai said that giant catfish fries were released into the klong

The what now?

Fries are baby fish. Try a dictionary

If YOU had tried the dictionary before posting, you would know that the correct word is "fry" be it singular or plural. Fries are what you order at McDonalds

Just love it...typical TV "expert" is dead wrong, but still cops an attitude.

Isn't the hours that alcohol is sold the very first thing you learn here?

Crossy:

Your advice to the OP has also solved a pressure problem I was having with my pump.

Many thanks for posting!

Ice from Amazon?

Well, he surely didn't die from taking 5mg Anapril. Probably just picked up the prescription on his way to work.

Thailand's murder rate is among the highest in the world?? Where did you get that from?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Actually, where do you get any of these statements you're making?

30,000 murders in the states, but we don't hear about them? Where did you hear about them?

And as far as follow up reporting in the states, I think we get an unending barrage of follow ups to any major murder, right up through sentencing.

You would have to be out of your mind to drink tap water in Thailand, or almost anywhere in the world.

Even if the water source is pristine, the pipes and plumbing that it travels through to get to your tap are generally ancient and filthy.

What happened to the railroad killer who raped, killed, and threw the young girl out the window?

I know he got the death penalty, but when can we expect it to be fulfilled?

I have never had any issue that I would put down to the water, but as already said OK for brushing teeth and washing, most bars and restaurants buy in their ice in bags or have it delivered from reputable souses.

Bottled water ids cheap and If you are staying in a hotel you will probably find you get a couple of bottles of drinking water free every day.

I wouldn't buy ice from souses, reputable or not.

(sorry, I couldn't resist.)

I share your outrage, Bernard. But what do you suggest to resolve the problem?

American voters have made it clear they are not willing to give up their "right to keep and bear arms".

You can't protect them from themselves.

Tony125:

Where in Thailand do you get Glucosomine/Chondrioton? I have used Osteo Bi-Flex for years, and you are correct; very helpful for knee and joint pain. Unfortunately, does nothing for my back pain caused by damaged vertebrae. But I have had a very hard time finding an equivalent in Thailand. The drug stores carry glucosomine powder, but not the combination. I have been ordering it on Ebay at very high costs. If you can direct me to a local source, I would be very grateful.

I've tried them all. For me, the best one is called "Painelief cool gel".

It contains diclofenic anti-inflammatory, but the information sheet says it does not interact with other meds.

Available everywhere.

As I recall, the hose and regulator were purchased separately. Advise to get the regulator with a "safety button". When you open the tank valve, you have to push the button to start the flow.
