Not greater than 38 years, and only if you're a "hansum man". Actually, the age difference can be in a lineal relationship to your net worth and income.

Yes, you can get a permit from the Amphur. The best way is to have a well connected police officer walk you through it.

Cheers.

I believe you need a work permit for a fallung to get a permit to keep a gun at home. Civilians can only own a .38 cal, max. or a shotgun. Police and military can get .45s or .357s. I am told.

I've got the same 12 degrees. I'm loving my Mitsubishi heat pump. I bought it here in Chiang Rai. for about double what a regular A/C costs. No problem. Works GREAT. Cheaper to run than resistance coil portable electric heaters, plus it heats the whole room with a nice, even heat. Other brands readily available. I know, because I'm looking to buy a second unit for the other bedroom. Check at a BIG shop. When you have it, you'd be surprised how often you use it!

Whew! That settles that, then! Great!

"Stabil" fuel stabilizer.

You might check that there is no time period limit on taking the med. I seem to remember an advised limit of two weeks. Maybe a different med for extended use? You'll have to check. I could be remembering incorrectly.

Maybe your ID is needed to specifically exclude you from ownership and to certify it was not your money that bought the land. It happened to my married (at the time) friend as he sat in the land office, in front of his face! His now ex-wife then "willed" the land to her niece, while still married. Lovely. To those that think this is impossible, I think it is only illegal.

Actually a "good acrylic" is the correct response. Use whatever you use on the house when you re-paint. Or just get a colour you like from one of the big names.

Do not thin the paint at all, you may still need a couple of coats to cover the (now fading) yellow.

In reality, unless the conduit is in a vulnerable location, even if it goes brittle it will remain intact and not need to be replaced.

Thanks for that.

Just been reading some of your treads from 2006 when you were involved in tulips.

So a good acrylic is what I'll use and still have some left from the house painting.

If youlre still there, a couple of off topic questions, feel free to ignore them and me:

1. I have one of those u beaut power testers that give a loud 'beep, beep, beep" when near an active conductor, but no 'beep' when near a neutral conductor. I love it and use it a lot, but been reading the tread about the outside fence lights timer switching the neutral, and, strange DC voltages present, so, will my 'beeper' pick up DC?

Is is best practice to use the neon tester as well, although I don't like to stick my thumb on the end connector.

2. Remembering that song 'I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think soooo' (maybe you're too young), I think I'm turning Thai, at least my driving has really deteriorated, so I'm on the right track, and I have this urge to set up some LED flashing lights, about 18 m of them.

When I was a young trainee I built up some strobe lights that flashed with the different frequencies from my stereo.

I spose they now have LEDs that do the same and I was wondering if you have experience with them?

Inductive testers will not detect DC. The common spray paint will offer protection too, if that's easier.

.. the roads over here aren't that great - i'd be inclined to go for the CB500X rather than the CB500F...

Dirt bike DNA and all that..

Beat me to it! Exactly. Pegs under your body mass. Sit up. Good.

Well for sure the OP should stop going to this particular clinic and doctor. Ditto letting his child be treated there.

There are plenty of doctors with good English speaking capacity in CM, no reason at all to settle for less.

Sripat (CMU Hospital) has some of the best specialists and costs there will not be noticeably more than a small private clinic. http://sriphat.med.cmu.ac.th/eng/home

Clinics are usually best avoided but I would make an exception for this one http://www.healthcaremedicalclinic.com/index.php Dr. Morgan is a very good GP. It's only her though so not the place for specialist care though I would tend to trust her referrals.

Going back to OP's original question, there are many things this could be but I am inclined to doubt it is an ENT problem. Would rather suggest an infectious disease specialist or else start with a GP (Dr. Morgan would a good choice, and she can do basic blood tests). Mumps are indeed possible, if it looks like this picture http://www.immunize.org/photos/mumps-photos.asp (click on the one of the adult)

I heard (urban legend?), that if an adult male stays up and active with the mumps it can descend down to the family jewels!?? Dunno for sure. Antibiotics don't work on virus'.

Good, usable info. Thank you. Don't smile in the photo. (Unless they tell you to.) I suppose our return of the favor to them would be a tucked in shirt, and no flip-flop sandals. I think it's easy for people who deal with the public every day to get "burnout". Let's not burn them out.

You can do stronger than mesh by simply making your own rebar grid with 3/8" rebar. 9" or 10" squares would be nice and strong. Put "dobies", little blocks of concrete, or half a small red brick scattered around under the intersections of the rebar...enough to hold it off of the dirt and let concrete fill under the steel. Steel lying on the ground is useless. The steel should be in the middle of the vertical depth of the concrete. Concrete is cheap for that sized pour. When you wire the intersections of steel together, bend the twisted ends DOWN. Bend a rebar in a circle at the perimeter to hold it all together. On this circle piece, overlap the ends a couple of feet. Use a very strong concrete mix. Quality always satisfies in the end.

......... In the sub 150cc scooter world - The PCX is king ....

PCX =153cc about 120 kph no anti-lock brakes don't know HP above 70,000 May need seat bump removed.

N-Max= 155cc about 117 kph has anti-lock brakes 16 HP, I think about 67,000 Feels comfortable

They certainly took a big risk in such uncertain times now they can line up at the barber shop and take a haircut.

Incredible the world is in such terrible shape and the stock markets keeps chugging along with only a couple minor hiccups.

Well, I don't think that you can call almost 20% wiped off the world's stock markets in the last three months a hiccough.

Some 13 Trillion USD's all gone.

I am sure a few people felt that.

You know, I can't help but always wonder, "Where does this money go?" Did it "exist" at some time? Did it just vaporize? Is some janitor busy like a ferret on crack burning it up in some secure cellar? I'm guessing it somehow passes to some people's pockets. One man's lose is another man's gain? World finance confounds me. (Obviously)

Actually, after thinking about it, I guess Tata Industries ended up with it. Lucky them.

Sat on the N Max at the dealers yesterday. It felt better than the PCX for static riding position. More room for my 6'. I was told 67,000 in Chiang Rai. 117 k/hr tested on U tube, stock. Anti-lock works well according to most reports. I would vote for N Max no question. Off the track a little, I would pull off the silly little windscreen and put a modified small basket in front, like I did with my Yamaha Spark 135, which is still going great after 50,000 + km.

When I was looking a few years ago, you could get the really big, expensive ones in Bangkok, but no small, normal sized ones in the whole country. China has a slough of them, but I don't know how difficult or expensive it would be to bring them into Thailand for personal use. I would guess prohibitively difficult and expensive, with unknown roadblocks thrown in for good measure.

Once you have kids, being married and having kids go hand in leash.

Big C has a poisoned sugar that will kill the main nest. It's with the poisons. Small cardboard hanger pack, small greenish tinted plastic container for the poisoned sugar with a small foil pack inside of it that you can make out while it's on the display rack. I just dump the sugar right on the ant trail if it's outside where my kids can't get into it. The ants start carrying it back into the nest after about 2 seconds. Yum! It will kill the queen ant and the whole nest. 59 baht. Put it into the plastic little box if you use it inside. I think ants can sense electricity and are attracted to it. You can google.

I would guess every government in the world has passed some "ex post facto" laws, in one form or another. It's obviously bad. Just say'n.

Big turbo lag on a small, single cylinder.

Yingluck's new car scheme was great, if you were affluent. Kids starting uni, buy them a new car each and the government subsidises you. Not a lot of good to the red shirt farmers though. How many people in the affluent west buy their first car new?

My idea is guaranteed to shift motors. Buy a new car over five years, pay what you can afford every month. After five years pay the balance. This mega deal would be secured against your house or land. Of course this would result in hundreds of thousands of homeless, landless people. But by then it would be a new government, and somebody else's problem. And Toyota would own millions of rai.

I think all the bankers would support this plan. It's the job of a good government to not let them have their way.

Perhaps Mazda Thailand need to make people interested in buying their cars by giving their Dealers info on future models and updating their website with this info? This includes inc reps at the Motor Shows.

I know this first hand, was v keen to buy either the CX-3 or CX-5 update a few months back

I think the new CX-3 will be great! But if "everybody" is waiting for a new model to come out, "nobody" is buying cars NOW. I think dealers of all brands are left in the dark on purpose. "Got to sell those refridgerators. Got to sell those color TVee-eee-eeees!" Much better for the manufacturer to sell you something now, you will regret buying in six months, and then have you buy what you really would have wanted, a short way "up the road". The new, improved xxxxxxxxx!

The steel pole is your answer.

Its obviously earthed by means of a foundation to it.

Why are you looking for anything more.

At the same time you can earth your house with it and save yourself 1k bt buying a copper rod.

Sounds flippant but true .

Well, I like the original poster's idea better. Lightning could travel down one of the guy cables and burn it in two (or vaporize it) If you have the money just use the long (2 meter?) copper clad steel ground rods they sell at every home improvement store as your upright rod and maybe three in a triangle with 2 or 3 foot separation (length of the sides of the triangle arrangement) around or next to the base of the pole (triad ground) linked with a bare copper cable about the size of your little finger ought to do it. Make a complete circle with the cable on the triad ground, and link the top rod to the assembled triad ground. A continuous cable with no splices is best. Use the ground clamps that they use on the rods same as a house system ground. Make nice round bends in the cable, not sharp corners. Should work. Whether it would protect the electronics in your mast mounted anamometer is another question. Maybe, but probably not.

As said, the Mongols were using silk vests very effectively. I understood the effectiveness was due to very tight weaving, and would suggest that they look at somehow interlocking the cocoons, not just gluing them together.

" from .22 calibre weapons to an M16 "

I'm no gun nut, but isn't an M16 also 22 calibre? And shouldn't the tests be with 9mm handguns as being very common?

M16 has a relatively "huge" powder charge behind it, and WILL PENETRATE a normal police kevlar vest. Very high velocity. Velocity gives exponential power. Twice the bullet speed is 4x the power. 3x the bullet speed is 9x the power. Smaller projectiles penetrate fiber masses better than larger projectiles with the same power behind them. I'm thinking glued, laminated silk cloth would be better, but I'm sure these guys have tried that. Waiting for the synthetic commercialization of spider silk.

What is your budget and where do you plan on driving? Eco car (like the yaris 1.2) for mostly city driving; jazz will be better in mixed driving. I have a swift and is fine around bangkok and monthly runs to Ratchaburi. No problem at 100 km/h. The jazz obviously is the better performer, but will use more fuel and obviously costs more. If I had 800k to play with it would be a jazz / maxda 2 diesel or even stretch it to a lower spec mazda 3 2.0.

When I checked a few months ago, the Mazda 2 diesel, auto, was 675,000. That would be my choice. I have the Mazda 2 benzine. Hot rod on E20. "U"y in the middle of downtown, 2 lane streets. Lovely.
