Honest Jewelry Repair?

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:14:29 +0000

We're wondering if anyone knows an absolutely reliably honest jewelry repair person in CM. My girlfriend has an emerald ring that needs the posts replaced and it'd no doubt be much cheaper to have a good job done in CM than in Canada or the USA, but we don't want anything to happen like having the gem swapped. So does anyone have experience with someone who can be trusted absolutely?

Thanks for any help.

How Come There Aren'T More Dead Dogs.

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:04:30 +0000

Most of you have been in all or most of SE Asia, and it's the behavior of the dogs that has me stumped. They lay along the sides or the middle of the road move slowly if at all and yet carcasses aren't stacked end on end. You do see the occasional frisbee, but not as often as you'd see in the Americas.
Dogs just stare at you when you drive up and slowly and I mean slowly move along so you can pass. I'm not advocating running them over, I like dogs and feed a group of wild ones that patrol around the house we're building. The puppies of the head bitch went home with the workers in the past week and they greet me at the head of my drive and move fairly quickly as they anticipate some grub when we do a drive out to the building site. Funny though only a few actually enter into the walls of our compound the rest stay outside and lay on the road only to bark if something unusual occurs, not just the odd car or bike riding down our country lane but strangers to them will be barked at with a greater frequency the closer they drive down the entrance to get to our driveway. They number 10-12 as a few local dogs like to hang out with them.
Although they are good dogs to us they have the same me move to traffic attitude the other dogs have. I know that Thais have a particular love for dogs but you'd think Darwinism would show survival of the fittess not the slowest and laziest.
My next rant will be on Pink houses pink rooms and pink curtains or is my mother in law crackers

Bar-Codes Placed In Passports

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:48:44 +0000

I know that this matter has been touched on elsewhere on the forum but I have been unable to locate it. Please forgive any duplication.
Went to Immigration today for 90 day reporting - self & wife. Out within 12 minutes.When I queried the reason for the bar-code stickers being placed in our passports I was told simply that from our next 90-day reports we would only have to produce our passports plus Forms TM47. No further supporting copies etc. required.
Sounds good to me - if I got the story right.
Cheers.

Grass-Fed Chicken Eggs In Chiang Mai?

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:42:54 +0000

Ignore the title - it was dumb. Chickens don't eat grass.

Any chance anyone sells non-grain-fed chicken eggs in Chiang Mai?

Free range eggs are what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

Vios Service...

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:05:10 +0000

Can anyone recommend a reliable maintenance garage, preferably south of the river, who can service my recently bought 5 year old Vios and not blow a hole in my wallet? What about the service centers in the petrol stations, Shell, Caltex etc, any good?
Cheers

Where Has Orchid Butter Gone

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:21:05 +0000

Can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know why?
I appreciate the BKK floods have affected some goods but if they can make yoghurt why not butter?
