Re: Charity New Year tennis match in Hua Hin

Check the Bangkok Post. At the end of the article announcing the Match was the phone number of the company selling tickets. Could you please ad a link as I can not find it. Leo Here you go Leo, it's on the bottom line of the article. Pete :cheers: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/sports/268860/wozni...

Re: When Soi Dog's Attack...

Interesting story :thumb: ....the battle of good against evil manifests itself when least expected. :D I would think the white one kicked arse at one point in the past and has the hotel/beach area as his turf. If he's a friendly one I'm sure he gets some choice tidbits from the hotel kitchen staff a...

Re: History Challenge

Who would think they would revert to that so soon after Steve Bruce's departure, and only 2 hours to kick off as well. Blimey! :shock: :wink: Nameless :cheers:

Re: Eczema

No, no....I sweat buckets when working outside but the stuff supposedly does not wash off with it and you maintain protection. That seems to be true as even after prolonged sweating the yungs are still buzzing, but not landing. The cream I've been using as a substitute is not sweat resistant and whe...

Re: Side Effects of Frontline and Frontline Plus

Yes, I think something has changed with the product unfortunately. I used it extensively on many dogs in the late 80's and 90's and I never noticed any adverse reaction at all. With my two Golden Retrievers now, who are heavy weights and get the 40+kilo dose, they have heavy breathing and are lethar...

Re: Eczema

Might be of interest Pete. I know you mention DEET as being an unlikely cause, but look at the concentrations quoted in the table - maybe this is the difference? http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in419 No, I don't agree with that one at all. The OFF spray orange can is 15% and the Thai substitute cream is 1...

Re: Eczema

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the product had changed somewhat over the years.Is it possible to have an allergy test (with the active ''ingredient(s)'' of OFF) done in Thailand. I don't know. We've had allergy tests done on our little one and the wife but they use the standard template w...

Re: Eczema

It seems I've stumbled across a real breakthrough for myself, and I've actually gone back and tested it and suffered the results this past week. Around mid November the store shelves were bare from the floods as we all know. I spend a lot of time outside in the early mornings and had always used OFF...

Re: Health and Safety

Regardless of the country or working environment, companies will implement whatever rules they feel will save them money, pure and simple. Concerning the cell phones, I'm sure it's just as much about lost productivity time as it is about injury from inattention to surroundings and possible insurance...

As a side note, to my knowledge VincentD is the only member on here who has been flooded out of his residence. Vincent, I hope things are improving for you and your family and you'll keep us all up to date on how you're recovering. Pete :cheers:

Re: The Floods of 2011

Here's an example of no work permit, or proper permit, being ignored by the authorities. I'm sure its the same with many types of volunteer work as discussed on our other thread. "Central Pattana has joined hands with Wipe The Tide, a grouping of foreign Facebook users in Thailand, to raise fun...

Are you selling your property in Thailand?

There have more posts than usual about people selling their homes, or wanting to. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that I noticed these posts not far apart from each other, or perhaps it's a trend? If you're selling, tell us what motivated you? Maybe you're purchasing up, economizing, or leaving the ...
