Re: Snakes in the house and garden
Thanks. Chaindrite powder's active ingredient is shown as methrin on the bag, but I believe it's Alphacyphermethrin. Anyway, it definitely kills ants at a stroke! I just sprinkle it too, and even after it's washed away it doesn't need reapplying, I guess it soaks down into the nest. That's it done u...

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!
This may be the only country in the world that hypes up fog as a tourist attraction, and gives it a fancy name. :shock: :banghead: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/breakingnews/30329365 Something similar in Oman, it's called The Khareef :wink: https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/travel/need-...

Re: Govt to increase alcohol tax again
Interesting that the dept's published motivation for increasing tax (sin tax) was to reduce the purchase of alcohol and cigarettes yet they increase their revenue target by 7%! Tells it's own story as to their 'motivation'. Yep spot on, the UK budget every year does the same to one or more products...

Re: Gutter service
Hi, can anyone please recomend any gutter service in Hua Hin, Cha Am. Ours is leaking at some spots and need a bit of fixing. Reg Kim You should specify what type of guttering, usually plastic (pvc) or zinc? Different companies will work with different materials. Having said that, I don't have the ...

Re: Buying an air rifle in Hua Hin
I personally don't think you can blame Thailand for not wanting us to own guns. They read the news too; all the cases mass shooting in the US and etc. How often do you get Thai people running around shooting people? Umm... "Thailand has a fervent gun culture on par with the United States and h...

Re: Buying an air rifle in Hua Hin
Soft bullets, are these what are also known as rubber bullets? Non lethal except in extremely rare cases?
Have the same impact as a lead bullet? :/
I had a great .22 air rifle in Dubai (legally) which I had to leave behind when I came here. I miss it.

Nereus, nice cartoon .
Yes fly-tipping is illegal dumping of large items (fridge, TV, etc.) or large amounts of waste (e.g. building waste) in a spot not licensed as a refuse site. Chucking cigarette butts or your KFC leftovers on the side of the road is also just littering in the UK.

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
I was surprised to find this afternoon that some bars were closed. Also a restaurant in West 94th street had shut their doors at ultra-short notice (even for food it seems) after reading some announcement at 2300h last night. TIT - walked around town this afternoon and quite few bars were serving al...

Re: Smoking ban on Hua Hin and Thai beaches, jail time for offenders
GOOD JOB. The only people not sick of running their hands through the sand and sieving out cigarette butts must be the smokers complaining here. Fines are not enough to make a real impact on the moronic behaviour of some smokers. Smoking is allowed in designated areas. I smoked on the beach last nig...
