not particularly insurance based...but just like you got ripped off by the thai embassy staff in Australia last year when they insisted that you had to buy a multi-entry stamp with your visa application. Not so... how much did that cost you?  

  I did not get ripped off last year by the Thai embassy staff , I asked for a multi entry visa in the first place . Reason being, If covid had not hit town I would have gone back to Australia to see my  Dad for his 90th Birthday and also other trips , that would have saved me going to immigration at Nong Khai ( my closest office ) to get a reentry stamp that is not for free and at the time it was cheaper  ( in the long run ) and easier than getting a single entry visa and again it was my choice .

  As far as insurance goes READ the fine print and get every thing in righting , people forget that insurance companies like all others are in business to make money and will try to get out of paying any policy .

  I do wish Josh all the best .

only visa applications from outside thailand. Another way to get ripped off.

note the comment from Andy that Josh's insurance does not cover repatriation. Does yours?

 How can you get ripped off  when its your choice to apply  and you know what you are paying for

Yes  mine does ,it is one of the many things my insurance covers 

another reason why we need and the Thai government made the ruling that all new visa applications must have health insurance. 

The soil is just that soil , there would be contaminants floating around in the air and in rain drops that fall on the soil sure. The tin tray is NOT galvanised and cleaned and fresh water is boiled on it before the first bach of salty water is produced just to get that oily film and other contaminants that you would find on the tin tray.  I would say it is more pure than the salt you buy from your store back home .

We have started boiling the water to produce the salt

Thanks for posting mate , I hope all is going well with the bar.

I don't know how he does it but one of our Mods  " BB " seems to have the nak of finding girls ( particularly groups) and taking amazing photos of them , he would be the one to ask .

Its ladyboys for me all the way , there is way to many hiccups for me with GG . Even my gg staff can be screwy more times than not .

I agree with that, but why would guys on a ladyboy forum refer to guys who like lbs as 'queer'. Why would they claim they are in no way gay?

Ask any ladyboy if she is gay and she will say she is straight,  they don't consider themselves to be gay 

Well its that time of year again when we start making salt , we had already started scraping the salty soil in to a pile and today we made the bath tub like beds to wash the salt out of the soil. Doa got up extra early still in her sleeping outfit to help me cart water to wash the salt.

     [ A recap from last year ]The water will take up to 48 hours to seep through the soil ( topping up a few times ) then it will be boiled over a BBQ type set up to evaporate the water and the salt is left to dry and bag up for selling .    

Keep it going Sith  

I wish he had also invented a player that didn't eat them 

Very cool , thanks for posting mate 

You can send them to me in a PM Rom .... just kidding .

 Thanks for posting what you have ,as with anything on this fine forum you can choose to open a thread  or not so if its not to your liking then move on and open the threads you like .

They are all keepers for some of us .
