In Topic: Forests

Yesterday, 05:30

From what I understand The King "owns " on behalf of the Nation of Thailand the forests that are on sloping ground over a particular angle. So in effect it is Crown Land .  
And the Hill tribes amogst others  have the right to use the forests somwhat akin to the forests being "ancestral lands".

There is probably a lot more to it but that is what i understand from what a few Thais have told me. Please correct me if i am wrong .

In Topic: Stainless Steel Double Edge Razor Blade

Yesterday, 04:13

I use the Gillette and the Dorco brands. Usually can find them ,as previously said, in the 20 baht stalls in places like the Big C foyers and also some of the smaller Thai supermarkets.  Also you can buy the plastic flip razors with 5 blades for about  25 baht as the same places.

Point away Garry, I grace Chiang Mai with my presence quite regularly.

I looked at DIY repairs Xen, I'm not quite as incompetent as I make myself to be (it's a ploy to get people to do stuff for me) but I can't quite work out how to get at the little bolt or rivet that has come loose without damaging the lining.

I actually had a similar problem a few weeks ago on an old case and to drag a bit more use out of it i used  the magic glue .
I was just thinking a pop rivet may do the trick   (or blind rivet as they are sometimes called0 . Using a pop rivet you dont need to get thru the lining inside the case. Must have the pop rivet gun tho .

Could you repair it yourself with a small bolt and nut . I always keep a stock from all those broken things that are about to be thrown out especially electrical items. If not then Magic glue comes to the rescue. Most of my luggage has been repaireed at some time with magic glue especially after the baggage handlers at airports have had their evil ways with my luggage . Magic glue goes by a few names but it is that  glue that sticks your fingers together in about 1 minute if you are not careful .
