Fence fillers
More information would be needed for help with plant selection. Location? I'm not sure what examples you will find much driving around "everywhere and nowhere" . Irrigation? A lot will depend on whether the screening you envision will have water or not. Without irrigation, consider solid fencing or shadecloth on the fence structure. Fence structure and height? If irrigated, do your privacy plantings need to grow above the fence height, or would a vine growing on the fence structure be adequate? Rangoon creeper is a beauty. Coral vine is more massive and requires a large solid fencing structure for support. Bouganvillea is a flowering favorite; it's thorny and impenetrable for security purposes, but needs space to ramble, or otherwise needs frequent pruning maintenace. For taller plantings, bananas and bamboo are relatively easy to maintain and are fast growing. Dwarf 'gluai-nam-wa' bananas are a favorite of mine for fast growing, fast fruiting, beautiful green privacy screening within a year. Palm groupings are another possibility. Most shrub hedgerow plantings are highly unnatural and high maintenance, and are one of the most frequent calls that I get for long term problems. https://www.thaigardendesign.com/plant-lists/ -

Thailand Cambodia armed conflict -- where do western expats fit in this mess?
Fair enough.... I've actually had in depth discussions on the topic with Thai's... Wife, her Parents and friends... ... All of them educated and trusted... There are also friends who I might be somewhat overly nationalistic and may get upset when discussing such topics, but I can see that in them and can easily avoid the subjects. I have found that when discussing even the most controversial of topics with most educated Thai's the conversation can be held... so long as the delivery remains respectful, just as with any topic really.... Many Thai's do not know about certain aspects of this conflict... I have also learned from a lot of Thai's on this subject too... Also what we hear internationally is different from what we are reading and hearing locally - this the bias and propaganda comes into it, also along with sanitisation of the information for international viewing perhaps... I wouldn't be discussing such a matter with Taxi drivers etc - but 'most' trusted friends sure... -

Foreign ministers of 25 countries call for immediate ceasefire in Gaza
Táiniste Simon Harris says he will talk to his colleagues about how to make a national day of protest for Gaza a reality. He was responding to a letter written by a Mr. Michael Cush which was published in Thursdays Irish Times, and stated that the Irish government has been strong in its condemnation of Israel’s actions in Gaza, but that the government and the people of Ireland are growing frustrated as they feel ‘helpless’ to prevent the ongoing conflict. Taking to Instagram today, Simon Harris said ‘The people of Ireland stand with the people of Palestine. We stand for human rights, for international law, for a two state solution, for aid to flow, for hostages to be released. We stand for peace. We stand for an end to genocide’. Táiniste to call for National Day of Action for Gaza -

Crime Ex-Beckham Villa Among Properties Raided in Koh Samui Building Crackdown
Either way, it was sensible common sense advice. The authorities don’t have to follow it or even read this forum. Doesn’t mean someone can’t express an opinion on what they think should/could be done.- 1
