I suppose when they were transporting it, it was just truck loads of soil so no one cared. I think the problem is the carcinogenic pollution caused by smelting it in an unauthorised fashion. Someone has dug up 10,000 tons of buried mine tailings, moved it across the country and churned out clouds of...

It seems that there is a suspicion that it was illegally smelted, the company wasn't licensed to do that:

^I've started going on two day city trips from Luxembourg and it's fun. Sometimes I just choose places that are easy, I went to Lisbon last year for no other reason than because the flight times suited my schedule and I had a great time. For two days I can entertain myself by just walking around and...

....but an Austrian fighting with a taxi driver because he wasn't allowed to smoke.

That Austrian wont be much of a loss when he gets thrown out the country, what kind of an idiot puts the driver of the car they're in into a headlock while they're trying to drive?

I think they largely survive catering to the non-technically minded customers who need to talk to someone.
If my partner needed a charging cable, she wouldn't have a clue about connector standards so would head for one of those stalls with the phone.
My stepson would know and order off Lazada.

^Without the subsidy, it would be about 34bt/litre which is still about half of what you would be paying in the UK.

^One thing I noticed is that quite a few of them came from rural and farming backgrounds so were much more used to that kind of environment. I've spent my life around cities and am not really happy in the countryside. I like to see it and can entertain myself for about a week but after that, I get b...

Probably the only person I've personally known to successfully make the full time transition is Norseman. Are you mixing up Nong Khai with Nong Ki? Two very different places. My partner is from just north of Nong Ki and there are a surprising number of Farangs living around the area. It wouldn't be...

^It's possible they were just trying to rip you off but on the other hand, connection cables do come in a vast range of qualities and it could be that the one they were trying to sell you was worth that much. For a cable I wanted, I went in a large French electronic shop and the range went from two ...

Left his house and family behind

Old school, respect! Far too many men staying with their family nowadays if you ask me.

Maybe that's how he ended up in Thailand in the first place!

Thanks guys. I'm currently looking at Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G 8/128GB (top end) and Samsung Galaxy S12+ Tablet {12GB RAM + 512GB ROM} Smart Tablet (lower end). Both seem to easily meet my very modest needs, plus an awful lot more. Would any 'expert' like to comment? I am a virtual novice on Andro...

We use Ipads for documentation at work and even the new ones of those use C type connectors. I believe pretty much all devices do so these days. Just explaining my issues that I've experienced with the Lenovo - i.e. not recognising external drives/those via USB to C type Adaptors.... Have you used ...

I think it's in the old family mart that was refurbished a few years ago

I haven't tried it but I walked past there recently and as you say, it's in that "new" Family Mart which is quite a large property.
I found it because I was looking for a convenience store!
