I think you mean kaffir . Here just, south of you, they call it Makrut. I call it German urinal lime because that is what German Gents toilets smell of... and I have visited quite a few in the years I was stationed there!

We have about 5 Makrut trees bearing fruit and every morning M'Lady makes me a soda water and Makrut drink after my coffee but before my breakfast. It has a cleansing effect apparantly !!

 

 

It's spelled many different ways in English, but yes Kefir/Kaffir/Makrut. The leaves are actually the most prized product as they are one of the most used ingredients in Thai cooking, e.g., in Tom Yum and larb.

Money saving tip #69.

My favorite mosquito repellent has been Soffell in the small 80ml bottles. I was buying 12 at a time on Lazada for 756B (link). Last month I decided to save some money and buy 3L of Citronella (link) and refill the Soffell bottles. Seems to be working just fine as a repellent and a heck of a lot cheaper.

Up here in Udon Thani locals will rub kefir (lemon/lime) on exposed skin when in infested mosquito areas. Apparently mozzies hate citrus smell.

8 1/2 years married to wifey here.....

My first wife was quite frankly, very cool as a general rule. Law School Graduate, corporate Attorney for Lockheed. We certainly fitted in the category of " we just grew apart" We had different ideas of how life was going to look later....she wanted to sell the house in San Jose, Calif and move to central Calif...I didn't...she liked San Luis Obispo.....I didn't.....it was the beginning of the end. Marriage counseling was good, no finger pointing, just telling the "shrink" how we both felt and she helped alot but.............at the end of the day she said to both of us " there is only 1 reason to stay married to each other, and that is do you still truly love each other"?  Good narrative..

We were both smart enough to figure out that if we both go out and get attorney's etc...it is going to cost a bundle. We both acted like adults, figured out after 15 years of marriage what was fair to both of us, my kids college etc and it all worked out. We are still friends today and I see her when I go back to Calif...I got the house and she got a "lump sum" payout from me and we were both happy. 

Luckily, I knew that I was not going to sit around and be miserable the rest of my life, and kept in touch with wifey whom I met back in 1999, when we hired her here in an office we opened in BKK. That was a wise decision to keep in touch with her. Told her in 2003 sadly I was getting divorced, she told me to work on saving my marriage but...if it does not work out, then do what is right for you. 2005 the divorce is final, I came back here to Bangkok, called her up and asked her if she wanted to meet me for dinner right? She said "Yes, I will make the plans and come to your hotel" Damm..I was impressed, she took me to a dinner cruise on the Chaophraya River.....and the rest as they say..is history. After that evening, I think we both knew, this will no longer be a " business relationship" 

That night after our date,  I told her she could stay at my hotel with me on Silom right? To this day I will never forget her response "Yeah, you wish"  

No regrets about Rachanee..she has been everything I wanted and more. And....she can throw a football and likes to have fun. 

The best part of all of that is that you had the sense and composure to cut losses early while maintaining a positive outlook on the future. Congrats man.

Just doing some "reminiscing" while in LOS..

Turns out not just KFC is finger licking good.

From Midnight Special; an example of never know what you have until it's lost, live performances on free TV on late night weekends back in the day in the US. This version of SD, rare version with David Palmer on lead vocals instead of Donald Fagen. Good vocalist, but those teeth man, those teeth

Like a quote I read once - "If you want to find out who your friends really are, check and see who will help you move your freezer out of the basement on Saturday" - lol....

Reminds me of the one about dogs, i.e., lock your woman and hound in the car trunk, wait an hour, open it and see which one is just happy to see you.

Baldy does look suspicious. He might pay taxes.

Perhaps one of the greatest perversions of the woke Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is how it includes an act like Dolly Parton (and I am a Dolly fan) and excludes an act like Humble Pie

6 weeks ago, I bought a new CD player here at one of the fancy, dancy open markets here locally. These young guys know their shit right? They speak good English too...you can imagine the look on their face when I roll up with my Honda SUV and ask them to show me some of the "CD players" they have and if one is available LOL!

They didn't even laugh at me..thankfully. There were basically none on the main floor, but they had several in the back room right? This kid brings out this "Kenwood" player, tells me all about it.........OK done deal. Installed in 1 hour, 4k baht out the door.....this thing is great, all my CD's I had shipped over here work well. 

Was downtown at Siam Square about a month ago, they had this old school type shop located outside, across the street. This one store had a ton of used CD's...100 baht any one you wanted.......knowing what I had in my collection.....I DID NOT have "Frampton Comes Alive" I have it now......"Do you, you...feel like I do"

Takes me back to when one of the greatest bands no one talks about now had both Steve Marriott and Frampton in it ...
