scorecard

My Thai son rented a condo on Petchaburi Rd in Bkk, the agent took him for an inspection to see what was really included (appliances, furniture etc). Kitchen had a 4 burner electric hob. Son moved in and discovered only 1 of the 4 burners on the hob worked. He called the agent who called the owner. Owner (Thai) insisted that 1 burner is enough, nobody needs more than 1 burner. Same day son then discovered the washing machine was totally dead, Agent called owner who insisted that it's not a problem because it's easy to use the nearby coin operated laundry facility. Same day son discovered the hot water heater in the shower was not working. Owner laughed and said 'nobody needs warm / hot water to shower'. Lease was only for six months aligned to date to complete his degree studies at Chula uni. Owner made no attempt to fix any of the above. Return of the deposit was promised but never happened.

Bananas and more bananas. My Thai family all like bananas and love love love durian. My Thai son buys durian on line from the South of Thailand, sent to Chiang Mai. He tell the kids and his wife 'durian coming this afternoon' and all ears are very alert for the delivery boy to ring the gate bell. Son and his wife and three oldest kids love love love durian. Fourth kid (son just 1 yr 8 months old), tried durian for the first time 2 weeks ago, instantly wanted more.

But perhaps PR holders over 80 years old should discuss the 'son / family can bring the book in' for the update first before actually doing this.

My Thai adult son took me to this police office today to do the 5 year update of my PR Police Registration book: - Now moved to the back area of the original police station building, enter at the back of this building, office on second floor. - Policeman who manned this ofice for years now retired, new guy very pleasant, can speak some English. - Tabien Baan book is not required. - Now require 5 new passport size photos. - Update fee is 800Baht. - Police guy explained to my son that late update over 7 days now incurs fine of 400Baht I day late or any time over the due date (written each time in the book) is 400Baht and this office (nationallly) now under pressure to impose fine of 400. - I got a receipt (one receipt) for 1,200Baht (800normal fee plus 400 for being 1 day late). - Police guy asked for confirmation I anm over 80 years old. Then he said to my son, '80 years old arlready so in the future son can do the 5 year update for me, no need for me to attend. Son must bring the registration book, 5 photos and 800Bagt fee plus 400Baht if 1 day or more over the 7 day grace time'.

Not true...

So what does that mean?

Re the negative emoji. Do you want Russsia to win this war then proceed to fight / conduct wars to take over more regional countries?

Why the negative emoji?

OK, but maybe she likes to see you in nice ironed clothes. Don't ignore that Thailand is a presentation society. My now departed wife kepy all my clothes (through our maid) well washed anf ironed and shoes well kept and well shined. Was my wife pretensious? No. just normal Thai.

OK, so your comment re an ironing board is?

Same, used reguarly in our house. Very practical.

1. You're wrong. 2. I guess your saying your so smart it's impossible for you to be scammed. Are you sure about that? How can you be sure about that?

And from Sth. America?

Not necessarily. Many woud be very afraid of the ongoing legal proceedings etc.
