Have you a friend you can leave it with? As a last resort I could, but I prefer not to. The last time I did, they trekked across Thailand, adding thousands of kilometres to the mileage. But what really pissed me off was when they turned up late at Udon airport, knowing full well we had been travell...

Where do you leave your car if you have to travel stateside for an extended period of time?
I’m a bit reluctant to leave it in my car port.

Good luck and please keep us posted how it went. I'm very curious because I'll soon need to go down that route too.

Yes, please tell us what this has got to do with insect stings?
Just because you're bored you've decided to hijack a thread for the fun of it?
Btw, what are you in hospital for? Narcissistic and attention seeking personality disorders?

... the latin name of this creature is paederus fuscipes curtis ;) An interesting and frightening characteristic of this species from Wikipedia: Some members of Paederina, a subtribe of Paederinae, contain a potent vesicant in their haemolymph which can produce a skin irritation called Paederus der...

And so do all my neighbours. They are all after my empty 6-liter bottles

Hmmm ... remarkable. I was bitten/stung smack in the middle of Talad Pricha while having dinner.
The people sitting around me and the lady selling drinks saw the insect and all of them were instantly alarmed. They brought me water to wash the spot and warned me not to rub it.

And Thailand is worried that Lady Gaga’s tweet might tarnish its image?!? :-"

Thanks for the info, Kopkei. Just what I’d been looking for.
In my search I did come across ‘rove beetle’ but as, in my view, the insect looked more like some kind of wasp and didn’t show any resemblance to a beetle, I didn’t follow up on that link.

What is the English, Spanish or Portuguese name of this insect? The Thai name is 'maleng concadoc' (แมลงก้นกระดก or แมลงน้ำกรด). The bites can be very nasty. My gf told me they can cause bad blistery skin lesions. According to the Thai information on the Internet this insect is also found in India, ...

Looks like a good business proposition; selling plastic bottles for B200 with water as an ancillary.

... How should I prepare?

Forget about the conversational Thai. Just make sure you have a well-padded wallet with you.

thanks balthasar but were is aek ? If it's the one I think your referring to, it's relocated to Adunyadet Rd...between Ruysuk and Phon Phisai Rd (grid U-10 on the map). The one I'm referring to is/was(?) across AEK Hospital on Phosri Road, which is generally called 'AEK' by the locals (pronounced l...

'In-depth information'? I beg to differ. The site, interesting though it may be, contains general information on Thai family law.

Sorry, but do you mean marriage at the amphur by Thai Marriage?
And how much did the attorney charge for doing the tweaking?

There's one across AEK, by the traffic lights.

Did anyone actually have prenups drawn up by a lawyer here in LOS? How much did it set you back?

Thanks! That's the confirmation I was looking for! Bespaart me weer een paar euries

I want to apply for a Thai Driver's Licence. As I understand, I need to supply, among other things, a Thai translation of the Dutch Driver's Licence.
Does anyone know where this can be done and how much the translation fee is?
