Lost in translation: Phone disconnect

To discontinue service by a person other than listed on the phone bill, 
you must present six paid receipts to prove you are the owner of the phone.
Asking for telephone installation ten years ago in Thailand, I was informed there is a six month backlog (waiting period).
I mentioned my dilemma at school. A phone call was made and by the time I arrived at home, the installers were waiting in front of my house.

The phone was not in my name, I didn't care as long as I had a phone.


Recently I decided I no longer had use for the phone.
Only the person, whose name appears on the phone bill can request disconnection.
I've lost contact with that person many years ago.

I asked to have the phone disconnected.
I received a preprinted letter thanking me for the business and indicating that the service was disconnected.

I discarded years of receipts.

Even though the line had been disabled, recently I received a bill for a number of months of unpaid service.

To discontinue service by a person other than listed on the phone bill, you must present six paid receipts to prove you are the owner of the phone.

Paying the unpaid months, I now have to pay another future bill to accumulate six receipts.
My phone will be switched from disabled to disconnected

Sakon FC ends season with another loss

At times the action was great and fast moving, but there were plenty of times when I was thinking of taking up embroidery or study the moon



The crowd was late



Crazy place for a doll house  !!



Strange halftime drawing prizes !!
This guy really has use for an iron. I'd imagine there is nothing in his wardrobe that needs ironing








Hoping for a better season next year. It can be done. The Ubon team had been consistently in last place or nearby for years. They ended this season in third place

Rice "...supply outstripping demand..."

Vietnam farmers face fight as rice exports drop The China Post
In a number of Asian countries, in recent years, many tracts of land where cleared for rice growing.
More countries joined the rice export market.
Farmers who want to survive should really consider an alternate money making crop.
Olives and avocados come to my mind. Imported avocados go for 60 baht (US$2) EACH.
Avocado trees do quite well in this climate. Want to see mine?

Rubber farmers are also facing an oversupply situation for similar reason:  many tracts of land where cleared and turned into rubber farms, more countries joined the rubber export market

Protesters threaten to blitz Bangkok Bangkok Post

Sakon FC was formed in 2005. Still searching for the first two years statistics
By my calculations 2010 was the ยอดดี best year for Sakon Nakhon FC




That year we had เชียร์ cheer ทีม teams and ธง flags





We had a half time show อีเกิ้ล ให้ดู






We had wins ชัยชนะ
