Or smoking something else....

Yep, but many Thais rent their houses out via agents too. My experience was living next to one of those 'party houses' for a few weeks. Not so bad as I wanted to call the police, but the activity was crystal clear, just 12-15 or so youngsters coming in and having fun for a couple of days, then next ...

BB As kids we used to paint our rooms (and the living room) every other Christmas. Any wall paint is typically emulsion paint, you'll need one first coat to get the colour over the stuff you want to cover, and do a final second coat. Emulsion is a water-based paint. When you tell someone here, 'glo...

BB gloss painting your walls??? Am I missing something. Matt or maybe better silk emulsion is what you want. Silk is a bit more washable after you squish mossies. And if they're already painted you do not need an undercoat, just couple of coats of emulsion unless the colour is drastically different ...

HHTel - 1980?

Also the weekend renting of private houses to large groups of students is happening across Hua Hin, no doubt other places too. Residents are powerless to stop the noise and inconvenience. I believe a lot of the renting is not legal. I have experienced it myself, the party goes for 24-48 hours, with ...

I'm sure BB knows which end of a roller to hold, I just hope he didn't lose his cutting in skills....

Thanks. The builder put in 3 new toilets for me this year and there has been no leak of sewage before or after, just an air gap behind one of them now which I can see but not reach. He'll fix it, he'll have to either use silicone sealant (if he has a worker with tiny hands and rubber arms) or take t...

It doesn't say what drugs, the neighbour might have found themselves getting stoned on the smoke coming over the wall and decided to harsh their buzz.

So you're just supposed to put the fags out on the floor as before? I don't see any receptacle for dog ends in that box.

BB white is a bit 'stark', you might not be happy when it's on?

I'm loving this. BB If you don't buy enough they will mix another small tin for you and it will be exactly the same. The outside of the houses in our compound were painted years ago but I and my builder gave the colour number to the guy in Home Pro this year and got exactly the same. If you don't li...

Brave man, johnjar, I'm a handyman but not a sh1tdigger (some would disagree). Yes the problem occurs when the fitter doesn't use a proper seal. I have to get my builder to re-fit my toilet (he put it in) when the snagging work is eventually done on my place. I think this most likely it the problem ...

I get them regularly in one of my bathrooms. They feed on waste clinging to the soil pipes, and will enter through your toilet waste pipe if you don't have a proper airtight seal between the porcelain downpipe and the plastic pipe in the floor (do you get bad odours in the bathroom from time to time...
