Yes, the search option is pretty terrible. My issue is that they do not have any larger items unless they are boring stuff like fridges and washing machines ....

Lucky you. 9 out of ten things i look for on there, they do not have. Suppose my interests are a bit weird.

Earlier this week in BigC Suzuki had some cars on display. The prices seem to have been cut by up to 100,000 baht (i am not really up on Suzuki prices, but cheaper than equivalent Nissan were last time i looked).

The problem with global warming, is that you cannot stop it by just putting your hand out, any more than you can stop a steam roller. The momentum already in place will mean that if we stopped emitting CO2 now warming will still take place for decades to come - we have just been storing the heat in ...

Siam Grand hotel. Near Big C. Not sure of the depth, but more than me!

And today the UK's last bus manufacturing company is now in the hands of the receivers. They used to make the 'Boris bus'. Brexit and the value of Sterling are linked. I am one who believes, (rightly or wrongly) that a clean break from the dictats from Brussels will see Sterling thrive. The finacial...

Most UK (and i presume European) debit/credit cards use the default visa/Mastercard rate. Mastercard usually offers slightly better exchange rates. These rates are very similar to Transferwise, BUT the devil is in the fees. Thai ATMs charge foreign cards a fee - 150 - 220 baht per transaction (so al...

Never filled in a TM30 in the 7 years i have been to immigration - although i believe they did it for me in Jan 2018, when they stapled in a new piece of paper in my passport (which is still there). Did my 90 day today (had been out of country since my last one), took less than 3 minutes ..... just ...

Nice to see an objective video about Dory fish. I eat it. but prefer Tilapia.

For the first time in 10 years had water coming under the door into my office. Fortunately 5 minutes later the rain abated and emergency furniture moves were cancelled. Water in the garden was about 20 cm deep. Down on the farm, all ponds overtopped their banks and met some of my fish in the field n...

Indonesia is planning a new capital, as Jakarta is sinking rapidly. OK, sea level rise is only a small part of the problem, but in the long term it makes Jakarta very much a lease on borrowed time.

Try KASIKORN Bank at Central Plaza. You will need an Address and or Rental Agreement in place, plus copy of your Passport with Non IMM O-A visa. On another note, as you are new to Udon Than, I presume you have done your TM 30 at the Udon Thani Immigration office, since arriving. Pipoz4444 Do not ne...

There are many links, with wildly different claims. The problem is where they get there data from. One link says fires at the 15 year average. But doesn't say that burning has been falling steadily this century. One report says burning 80% up on last year. Most of the major fires are actually along ...

Don't forget "Mother Nature" its only `12,800 years since the world was bombarded by asteroids that bought an end to the ice age, that was not a "one off" add the sun & solar induced brownouts, the more people rely on their gadgets, the more they will be shocked WHEN something happens, it will be t...

An Aussie went on the rampage this morning our time stabbing 3 woman one fatally. He was apprehended by 3 workers and held by police the heroes as the Aussies have pointed out are all from Manchester uk. I'd say they probably don't see themselves as Hero's there more likely to say we just did it to...

Was in Makro this morning, at checkout at 8.30 a.m. Sometimes this early the less than 10 items lanes are not manned. still only took 3 minutes to get to front of queue. Not sure how many checkouts were manned, about 3 or 4, I think. Makro is not really intended for the quick exit - it is for people...

I agree would be nice to have a gardening section. My experience with fruit trees .... Jackfruit - cannot even remember what year they were planted. 2012 or 2013. Have 2 trees, planted when about one to 2 years old. Only ever had one fruit. The biggest tree has got a fungal infection under the bark ...

double post

Well, we know where Joudon comes from. Called De Nile ..... Seriously, yes the climate has changed in the past. But we are interested in what is happening in modern times. Yes, there have been warm periods in the last 2000 years, but it has been established that these were mainly regional events, no...

Udon's attitude to the TM30 is very practical, so not an issue. I didn't realise i had ever done one, but yes, at the extension last year they did staple an extra document to my passport and told me not to remove it, It is so well stapled on you cannot open or read it either! There are stories of pe...
