Re: Ban Jig Garage (Sponsor)

I spoke with him a week and one-half ago regarding some advice on a car repair. As usual he was very helpful. I told him that many people were hoping that he would open up a new garage. He said that he is still looking for a location. I thought that I had found a spot for him, but it turned out the ...

Re: Ban Jig Garage (Sponsor)

We took my wife's Ford Focus to Baan Jig Service yesterday morning. The idiot light said something about transmission failure and to get it serviced. I never drive her car but on the way to Baan Jig it was obvious that it was a transmission issue - often did not change gears and sometimes the engine...

Re: TM30 filing at Udon and Nongkhai?

It appears to me that the responsibility for filing TM30 is with the business that is accommodating the foreigner rather than the foreigner.

Re: SW Ring Road

I explained to the officer that I could not get online and I wanted to report before the holiday (my required date was 6 December). The officer apologized and said the probl...

All that I know about Sarah Palin I learned from Fox News ... more than enough to confidently say that I would never ever vote for her. My problem is that there are very few people in today's political limelight that I would consider voting for.
