Good question! I'm not that technical myself but I'll try and ask. The guys have a large yard full of pickups and vans with a few engines out. Maybe that's a good sign? They sent this video clip.

The video is showing where the water has eroded the block face/liner. I'm not sure if resurfacing will be able to remove that much material. I think they want to fit new liners.

Today the guys got back to my Mrs. Told her a reconditioned engine would be 70,000 baht and, of course, it might have suffered the same fate as our own. They estimate 48,000 baht (parts and labour) for repair of engine and replacement radiator etc. Apparently, they're already onto it.

Are they going to pin the cracked cylinder head or replace with a second hand one?

Bt 14,000 for 2 eyes? What exactly did you have done?

I found the info on cloud storage on their homepage. However it does not say how much the 7-day plan is.

I think i pay about 1200bt a year per cam for cloud storage. This subscription can be removed and added to different cams on your network.

Obviously not. It says explicitely "local storage". Then battery operation is not mentioned, nor the number of supported cameras at the same time.

I suggest you learn how to use use Google to do research! I have battery operated Tapo cameras with cloud storage connected through an app.

Tapo has what you need.

[Bell's Palsy]

I had a terrible pain in the neck for 1 week and was taking painkillers every 4 hours. Then i woke up with a paralyzed right side of the face. It got worse for the first few days.

It took a few weeks to get some movement back, and now i have some involuntary movement of my bottom eyelid when moving my lips.

Are they saying that if the car belonged to a nobody, the police would not have bothered to investigate?

That's the one, or it reports "waiting for seller to drop off".

I recently had " Receiver requested to delay delivery".

But, ultimately book directly with the airline. The Expedia's Travelocity's may save you a couple of bucks but that's about it.

Agreed.

I booked a return ticket (June-August) in December 2022. Yesterday, i checked by booking and noticed the airline had canceled my return flight in August. I did not like the alternative that they offered and had to call to make changes. It would have a been a nightmare to make change with an third party agent.

did the same thing 3 months ago, they no longer make the id cards. The paper they give you stating that you are now licensed will have a barcode. When you scan it, the link is shown and when you visit it, a pdf file will open up showing KSP details about you for everyone to see.

If you renew online, you can download a copy of your license.
