  1. Um reminds me of the song about Ilkley Moor. Bury me / worms eat me up / duck eat worms and someone eats ducks.
  2. Why are they allowed to drag these poor creatures around the streets. I like those you tube videos of the elephants in Khao Yai . See them trashing cars when they do not get fed.
  3. The security guards looked distressed. Did they follow up on it.
  4. You want it cheaper take a thai person and stay out of site. BTW make sure the other party does not know your thai friend works overseas.
  5. The issue is that I want a 20ft container and just pack it myself. I am told that the max weight including container and contents is 28k kg. I will just fill it up once the essentials are in there.
  6. I am trying to ship some possession s from the UK. I have considered using an entire shipping container. Is this possible. ? The freight forwarders do not want to talk to me. The removal companies are difficult and not willing to just rent/sell a container. Shipping containers are easy to buy here in the uk. Any thoughts
  7. I have liver and stomach issues. Many decent hospitals. Remember the best tend to work in different locations. You could try one of the teaching hospitals. Department - SIRIRAJ (mahidol.ac.th) I would just go to one of the local general hospitals
  8. I must admit if you can get off the main routes rural driving can be a pleasure. Try driving down rural back streets when they are drying rice in the road. Never understood the rural dogs sleeping in the middle of the road.
  9. All good if you live around the south east. Qatar/Emirates from regional airports
  10. It appears that BA will start flying again. from Gatwick. not a fan myself but a bit of competition might help.
  11. Travelled south on the M6 recently . Was it worth it ? 80 kph speed limit . Did it shorten the travel time to BKK ? not much. When I left i still had to fight with the wagons in the outside lane as everyone crawled up the hills. Little sign of any work to complete. Managed to miss the start going north.
  12. Ah yes credit unions I forgot about those. Not very common in the UK . A decent savings rate in the UK is 5 % plus. I am just looking at alternatives to the run of the mill legacy banks. Yes deffo leave most of it back home
  13. Looking at some kind of semi retirement in LOS. I do have a savings account with the BKK bank. The interest rate is not worth having. Fees eat up interest. I looked at the table of interest rates and it is a joke. To be honest If I compared the thai legacy banks with the same in the uk the miserable savings rates seem to be the same. I have my retirement pots of cash in various less well known institutions here in the uk. Has anyone come across anything worth looking at in LOS. To be honest I am only looking at a modest investment in LOS. Maybe enough for visa requirement s maybe a bit more .
  14. I meant that you should make sure a decent fitter carries out those tasks. To be honest if you listed the tasks a bus / hgv fitter should be able to do most jobs. I used do tractor servicing/repairs in a previous life. I did notice a new new holland (ford) dealer being built recently on route 2 south of KK. The annoying thing about dealers is that they will insist on using NH branded spares etc.
