Rig Pig

Good morning. Can anyone recommend a professional, reliable plumber to do some work at my home which is in the proximity of Old Town Phuket? Not major issues, leaking faucets, drain replacement, etc. I've gotten too old for crawling around under the counter tops. Don't have the patience to <deleted> with it anymore! Any good recommendations would be appreciated! Cheers - Ron

Yeah, right. It takes two six packs to do the weeding!!

Thanks, but that was done during the original installation and now the plants and weeds are growing thru it. So I'm looking for some sort of solution short of replacing the entire garden! Cheers, Ron

Good morning. Does anyone have any recommendation on what I can spray onto my rock garden to inhibit plant and weed growth? I'm getting tired of weeding it every couple of months!! Thanks for any suggestions. Cheers, Ron

Good morning. Am looking for a "Mom and Pop" Sheet Metal Shop in Phuket. I need a piece of flashing fabricated to fit where my walkway roof butts up to the facia board on my carport. Preferably somewhere in Old Town Phuket close to my house. Thanks for any recommendations! Cheers, Ron

Entering the departure lounge at the airport!

Well said. These fools deserve what they get. Me, after 20 years, I'm looking for the next location.

The police asking the taxi drivers to be polite?!? Somehow reminds me of an old saying, "the pot calling the kettle black".

Chinese Tourists?!? How is this considered a crackdown on crime wave against chinese tourists? I don't understand or maybe the headline is wrong. Which chinese tourists are being arrested in this "crime wave"?

Bahrain, seriously, who comes up with this s__t? Now, I admit, it's been a few years since I was there but even then it was less than something I would wish on anyone. The UAE, worked in Dubai for three years, Yes, it had it's ammenities, but the fact that it's a Muslim kingdom is hard to get past. You either do as the sheik says or your gone and God help the working people from Pakistan and India living in cardboard boxes and working non-stop for six months to one year. Singapore, worked and lived there for many years between 1973 and 2006. Great place to work but to consider living there in retirement is a bit of a stretch. Yes, it has good food, bars and shopping but at the end of the day it's an expensive urban jungle! Not three places at the top of my list!

MJCM - I have exactly what you describe. But my pressure in the house is ok. Just my hose outlets which are causing beer consumption problems. I suspect that it's a community issue but can find no other complainers! Cheers.

Good morning, I live in the T. Talatnuea Muang district of old town Phuket. Close to Sakdidej Road. Am experiencing water pressure issues from the outlets for my garden hose. Due to the low pressure, when I am watering my garden, what is usually a three beer activity has now become a five or six beer issue!?! Is anyone else in the same neighborhood experiencing a similar problem? Thanks for your feedback!

Do local Thai's committing the same "crimes" get similar treatment?

Beechbum - Thank you very much! That's perfect, not too far from my house.

Does anyone know of a shop in Phuket where they will cut wood for you to the size required? I need two pieces of plywood about 1m long x 1/2m wide. I tried Global House and HomePro, no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
