I take it that by "drugs" they are not including "cigarettes & alcohol"?

The folk behind this need to be taken to a drug rehab centre & have their blood sampled using a needle that has been used by all the other "attendees".

Brought mine back from UK

Think you'll have to make do with bending nails......

anyone know of any reason why CM immigration shouldn't be open this coming monday please? don't think there are any public holidays or whatnot no?

Exhaustion?

They do and that's why runways are generally aligned east-west but the position of Doi Suthep relative to the airport precludes that in Chiang Mai (the runway is north-south).

Prevailing winds here are either from south or north. East-west runway here would not be advisable I would have thought.

Perhaps bad-weather to the South, or over the airport, means some flights prefer to gain-height further to the North of town before turning and heading down to BKK ?

The new airport has been mooted for a decade or more, meanwhile they already doubled the size of the terminals & extended the runway, but it's still relatively-quiet ( a few million pax p.a.) so it should be able to handle several-times the current traffic if need be, before a second runway prompts the building of a complete new airport.

Then again, perhaps influential-people have brought the land already, and can over-ride logic about when a new airport is to be built ?

With the rate of development on the eastern side of the valley, I doubt whether there is space to build a bigger airport without compulsory purchase of villages.

Yeah, she is really sharp and keeps herself busy with her own clinic as well as heading the endoscopy dept at R hospital as well as others?? does she still teach at CMU as well??

Also would like to give credit to the 'Foreign Relations' girls..........Natasha and a new one, who were there to help, but I had the Thai wife by my side and they backed off. They were really helpful on the phone and perfect English!! both from the Philippines.

I would like to find out if the antibiotics were given as a post exam precaution or as a cure to my diverticulitis??

JD, I was only given pain killers to take home afterwards. Didn't need them.

Dr J visited me in the recovery room afterwards & had an appointment with him a week later for biopsy results on 2 tiny (benign) polyps removed.

Lam Sadet beach / Chao Lao Beach has a great little free campsite on the beach with toilets.

It is just next to the free aquarium, click here.

A tad far from Chiang Mai?

Any proud (or otherwise) new Ranger owners have the OEM tow bar package installed, or installed an after-market tow kit?

Just checking to see what's available, cost and delivery times. I have an XLT so not sure if the arse-end wiring harness supports trailer electrics or not.

Thanks,

You going caravaning?

Just get your staff to park their scooters out front, spaced about 1 metre apart. Jeez, it's not rocket science

Fast forward 30 years from now, and former bgs in Thailand start sexual assault proceedings against retired expats here for "gropings in bars".

Hope their "music licenses" are in order. Those "nice folk" seem to be heading north....

Looks like Kad Suan Kaew Mall is feeling competition for hi-so clients and has done something to attract that crowd as seen here by the cars I saw parked there this afternoon. Also saw a red Rolls Royce driving by the train station, is there something going on?

The other JC (Jeremy Clarkson) & the Top Gear crew are in town to make a feature on Thai driving?

"Division 5" sounds like a secret govt department dealing with aliens. Hang on a minute, that's us!!

All in all, unless one is addicted to the taste better to find alternatives. No other animal drinks the milk of another species.

Cows milk is useful for turning a calf into a 1,000 lb cow in a year.

I hope it doesn't turn human babies into this kind of size in that kind of time. Any kind of time for that matter...!

MaccyD's & the like usually get the blame for that

Plenty of small dairy herds east side of the valley, out around On Tai. I know of 2 dairies that process the milk & distribute in cartons to schools. Most of the herds are small, kept in sheds, fed grass. The dairy I pointed out in Luther's thread is opposite Thai Watsadu on highway 11 & sells "raw milk" to the public.

Does anyone know if bonnets with the air vent are available for the 2013 Ranger? i see plently on Toyota's and Izuzu's...

Any info of where available and price much appreciated.

Thanks.

Swiss army knife can opener attachment should be strong enough to cut a hole

I think this was best left in the general forum. Folk don't visit this forum (well I don't) & it should be visible to everyone, as it's important for all folk over 50.

I use oruxmaps. You can have it display googlemaps satellite images for navigation. Can load gpx files.

Can you buy rennet in Chiang Mai? If so, where?

Untreated cow's milk available by the kg here 18.722994,99.041083

Head south on hwy 11, make u-turn before Thai Watsadu DIY store. Dairy on your left.

And for a porsche or high end merc or bmw? Not everyone drives a pickup or similar.

Dogs keep both snakes & rats under control. Many disemboweled cobras left outside our house. No dogs killed yet. Dogs are expendable & can be replaced. My kids are too precious.....

I had mine done at Ram, but I cannot remember the name of the doctor. Took prep fluid from 6am, no drama. Checked in at Ram at 11:00, prepped and in theatre at 1pm. Woke up in the recovery room, visited by the doctor & given a colour photo set of my colon!! Went home at 2:30 pm.

Did not feel a thing, the staff were very attentive and the cost was just over 11000 baht.

Will go back for my 5 year check with no apprehensions about the procedure.

brommers, when was that? There seems to have been a steep rise in medical costs in the last couple of years or so. Cost me about 16,000 a year ago at Rajavej.

If folk quote operation, medical procedure costs, they really need to say when those costs were incurred or else the costs are meaningless. This applies to all medical procedure threads.
