I had a big problem getting on my last flight to Thailand with Delta, never had a problem before. I almost didn't get on except one of the more experienced staff members intervening, then he got me on a KAL flight that left a few hours after my original flight. I couldn't talk sense into the other staff, explaining how visas worked in Thailand!

You're an overachiever, LOL. Wait until they come out with a new vaccine that covers the newer variants, there wouldn't likely be a benefit for you to get another booster at this time.

It depends on your vehicle, if you have all wheel drive or sometimes on 4 wheel drive you have to replace all 4 tires, otherwise it can damage the drive train, & it could cost you several thousands of dollars to repair. Some of the newer cars are very sensitive to mismatched tires, even the tire pressure has to be closely matched at all 4 corners.

We had a hard rainstorm here in the Detroit area, driving to work that morning I barely saw in time that a manhole cover was blown out from the water! If I had driven into it, it would have destroyed the front end of my car! Phew!! ????

Set yourself up for a Google Voice phone number from the UK, then give your bank that phone number. You'll be set!

17 hours ago, 4MyEgo said:I got to admit, I have been with a lot of women in my life, not bragging, just making the statement. In all had about 3 girlfriends and an ex wife (non Thai), suffice to say I happily married a bargirl of 7 months, and to be honest, I don't give a rats if she was in the gig for 7 years.
Of all the people I have met in my life, she is my right hand man, she has made me the happiest I have ever been in the 15 years we have been married.
Only if all prostitutes, a word I detest, but will say it, were like her, the world would be a better place and maybe, just maybe the Rob Muirs of the world could also be happy, but I doubt that.
Each to their own, never was into women with an education or money, albeit it I had many opportunities but the chemistry wasn't there, I prefer to be with someone who is just themselves and who appreciated life for what it is.
We all have a past and those who beat their chests and put others down because they think their %hit don't stink, aren't worthy of even talking about and I wish them all the misery in their search for love, because when it comes knocking on your door, the last person you would think you would hook up, could be a prostitute, God forbid...lol
People are people and those who label and put people down are uneducated where it counts, i.e. streetwise and only know love straight from their soapboxes.
Go ahead, make my day and marry a hooker, who knows, you might be happily ever after, after all I know lots of blokes who have and are smitten..... ????
Spot on, someone can check all the boxes, have the best CV, went to the best schools in the world, but still be deeply flawed characters, LOL. Just look at some of the politicians in the U.S.! ????

You could try JUSMAGTHAI, but last time I checked they weren't allowing anyone on the base. They have a website that you can check, they are located in BKK, SE of the embassy, about a kilometer.

Does not quantify risk, just proves that transmission can and does occur inflight in some cases
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7016e1.htm
modeling exercise only. There are others as well. These look only at inflight though and do not factor in the risk at the airport and in boarding/disembarkation
It is impossible in any case to quantify rate of infection since it will vary greatly by individual flight depending on whether any infected people are inboard and if so how many; how infectious they are; whether they (and you) wear a mask; seating arrangements etc etc etc.
What I can tell you is that you are going to be safer if
- passengers were required to show a negative COVID test
- mask wearing is required and enforced both in the plane and in the airport
- middle seats are kept empty
- you fly business r first class. This not only means better spaced seats but most importantly means you can avoid the crowded embarkation/disembarkation and crowds at security checks in the airport etc
For me, I am going to go business class and I would recommend that if possible. And of course wear a good quality mask
DARPA in the U.S did a study to get a more accurate idea of the risks involved in traveling commercial air, & catching COVID-19. They found that the risks are pretty minimal, due to the high filtration standards on commercial airlines, & because of how the air ventilation flows through the cabins. Hope that puts some people at ease!

Pretty fascinating to follow, in terms of space travel and exploration, these are exciting times! I can hardly wait to see some of the photographs from the James Webb telescope, once it is launched & arrives at its orbit to start exploring the universe!

Your the 1st person I ever heard talk about the issue of bat droppings! If the smell is that bad, I would definitely keep the bat houses away from house!
-
I was wondering if anyone has tried putting up bat houses around their house/farm to help control mosquitoes, & flies?
If so, how effective was it, were you able to notice a decline in the amount of mosquitoes? I was thinking of making some
to help reduce the population around our farm, along with some other measures (mosquito traps, insecticidees/larvacides).
Thanks!

The Velux brand that others have mentioned is the way to go, if they are available in Thailand. They offer the proper flashing kits for them, for different types of roofing materials. The flashing is critical to have a leak free skylight, don't depend on caulk, it will eventually fail.

This is not comprehensive at all I have quite a lot more places where they are in use. An example is a wall cabinet I made as a test piece about 10 years ago, it was in our old kitchen, talking it off the wall and putting it up in my workshop was extremely simple and fast as it was hung on a french cleat, getting it perfectly level was also trivial as I only had to level the cleat on the wall then the cabinet was automatically level, I have also allowed for sideways movement.
Very nice work, where do you get your plywood at?

My, but aren't we the evil genius, LOL!

You can purchase the transformers at Ace Hardware stores, I saw them at the location in Pattaya. Likely to be better quality than local brands.......
There are no Ace Hardware stores in Thailand
There are True Value stores in Thailand, for a list see their web site:
http://www.truevalue.co.th/location.php
BTW. The transformers at True Value are sourced locally, so why pay the premium, for what you can easily get at any Thai store
I stand corrected! Thanks for that, I had thought that they were "imported models".

Even though you would need an electrical convertor, I would definitely purchase and bring a cordless impact driver (18volt),and make sure to pick up all the accessories that you use with it (nut drivers, drill bits, screwdriver bits). They are a real time saver, especially when you are building a house, or remodeling.

Rock wool insulation is excellent for sound deadening. If you Google it, or check out some building supply companies I am sure you can find a source for it there in Thailand.
