Bought a jar at Rimping nr Duke's by the river. Exactly what I have always bought at the other Rimpings. I noticed it had an 80% and 20% ingredients listing in thai - and a thai translated this to me as peanuts & salt!! 20% salt?? Obviously a misprint - the makers, Rimping not picked up on this?!!
I bought the same one today and did not notice it until I got it home. From the taste, I would be surprised if there is any salt at all and it says no added sugar or oil, so not sure what to make of that 20% - maybe 2% salt?

I went to CM Immigration tuesday last week, 6:05 in the morning, two sleeping asian girls at the door, no book, i scrounged a dodgy piece of paper and put a borrowed table in front of the door and started a list.
Someone came with keys at 7:15 ... there was a dozen souls outside but she didn't bring the appointment book out.
Both sides of my piece of paper (and the margins) were full of numbers and names
08:10 the door opened ... there was quite a crowd rushing for numbers inside.....
Despite being number one I wasn't called for over an hour.
Strangely after my paperwork was completed half the room was empty.
I'm thinking of doing the 90 day by mail next time but otherwise show up around 11am.
The office needs relocating to the hang dong site where they do the driving licenses.and put a number issuing machine outside.

It is far, far too small an office to deal with what it needs to do and that is obvious. They keep talking about 'Amazing Thailand' and come here and then make it as difficult as possible. To be fair there have been improvements but the system is at breaking point.
The first thing to do is SCRAP 90 day reporting which is a waste of time and SAVE 1000s man hours and queue time rather than relocate.
Its pretty obvious that the CM immigration office is greatly overcrowded thesedays,and, to my mind the 90 day reporters seem to be in ascendance. Years ago the 90 day buisness was conducted in the separate building on the left of the site.
I dont know what it is used for thesedays but it would be well worth the officers to consider returning the 90 dayers to that building. It would halve the overcrowding in the present office.
Otherwise I can only congratulate the staff,especialy when I read about the circus's that occur in other immigration offices as reported on ThaiVisa.
#5002269 Looking To Buy A Condo - Among The Better Ones

I live in Floral (not Flora) and the prices start at 4.2 million, if and when you can find one for sale, there's a waiting list currently. The building across the river from the American Consulate is known as Rimping condo and whether or not it is haunted I have no idea but judging from the condition of the lobby it probably should be! There are some nice units in Rimping but a buyer needs to be careful where he/she buys, problems exist with pigeons, noise and heat, some units appear way over priced also.
As far as Floral's proximity to the mosque is concerned: I live on the side of the building near the mosque and I am vaguely aware of the calls to prayers which I think takes place twice a day, not five times!

The problem with being a Mod is that you have to step in when things start getting ugly. I prefer to just present the facts, and then step out when it inevitably gets ugly, heh
As for gold stars, thanks!
I guess if you like my posts you can vote them up, using the little [+] icon in the bottom-right corner ;P
