I also live in Bo Fai and have become very concerned about security. There have been a lot of burglaries in this area. It seems to be exclusively foreigners' houses which are being targeted. I spoke to some locals recently and they said they didn't bother even locking their houses - 'there's nothing...

Would it be indiscreet to ask which school this is?

PTA means parent teacher association.

Couldn't have anything to do with CP Group being the biggest supplier of Agricultural pesticides in Thailand and the PAD's biggest benefactor or that Mark's father is on the board of directors?

You have to use the sprays. Planting it around your house don't work unfortunately...

Lemon grass is both safe and effective. You can buy it in OTOP fairs and many shops too.

Can one of the IT Gurus create an automatic download onto the home page for the exchange rate of Baht to USD, GBP, EUR etc. so that the retirees can choke over their cornflakes when they log in each morning If you use firefox there is an add on called alphaticker which gives you real time streaming...
