    Tire Repair 24 Hours Service

    in Thailand Motor Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    Need some help, a friend left the car with me while away in Europe for a week. So thought of giving it a spin around my condo area last night since it has been left parked for 4 days (since i use a bike to move around) but then I saw the right front wheel was flat. The person will be coming back this sunday morning (0630 hrs) and expecting me plus the car at the airport.

    Now the thing is, I work monday to saturday from 0900 - 1800 hours. I had searched the web and found NK Auto Service which does 24 hrs, are they reliable? expensive?Are there any other 24 hours tire repair service around Jomtien or Pattaya that members can recommend? Do they make house call? How much would the cost be?

    Thank you in advance

    Govt Mum On Sultan Staying In Thaksin's Home, During The Asean Summit

    in Thailand News

    Posted

    Whoopdee doo. United Asean marching forward whilst the Brunei representative stays in Thaksin's house.

    Hmmmm. The wolves might just be forming...........

    Could you believe any developed country having to answer this accusation concerning the accommodation of a visiting delegate?

    The Sultan wasn't the only ASEAN Leader absent from the opening ceremony. also missing Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and Hun Sen.

    this "little" detail didn't made into the forum news, it could disturb the dream, the delusion of the 'sucessful' Abhisit.

    why all these leaders didn't show up? any guesswork, speculation, explanation why this happend by team: the usual suspects?

    the first obscure commie conspiracy theory came up. that was awesame.

    any other input or better ignore the reality and put the full energy in some cambodia or red shirt hate thread?

    Ok let's get some info clear here -

    All HOS (Head Of State) accommodations were decided or shall i say assigned by the host country, in which this case is Thailand. If the host country assigned a place, the embassy of the respective country will inspect and plan the whole logistic together with their own country security advisors (special task force). If the accommodation assigned is not suitable for some reasons (as the whole govt team will need to be close to the HOS as this is an official visit) then the host country will require to find a suitable replacement to the country's request. So in this case, the host country will have to be blamed if the accommodation assigned to the respective HOS has been criticized by the media in anyway.

    The question on why some of the ASEAN leaders missing during the opening? The last thing an ASEAN country wants to do is to have diplomatic problem within it's association. This would definitely lose the point of their bilateral meetings that has always been the important point during this type of summit.

    To my knowledge, Malaysia PM were excused from the opening as the Malaysian 2010 budget were just released. He was required to attend the parliament debate, this would be his first time presenting the national budget as a PM of Malaysia.

    The Philippines President were excused, well i believed all of us read the news on the tropical storm that hit the Philippines Islands. She is well engaged in attending the huge task of the country's recovery.

    The Indonesia President, he was re-elected again as the Indonesia President just before the summit and to my understanding there was a ceremony that will require him to attend if he wants to go to the summit as the Indonesia President (inauguration).

    As for Cambodian HOS, he was attending to another official visit of a minister from another country.

    So, hopes that clears the air a bit here.

    Big Trouble In Tourist Thailand

    Suirside,

    I can answer your question on BTITmaker's behalf. (I am Howard from the program and I am in regular contact with him, in case you didn't know). Episode 7 is going ahead, however there seems to be a problem with Episode 8 at the moment as Bravo are not pleased with the content and Vera Productions aparently don't have enough footage to make a "new" Episode and have decided to do a "Best of" for Episode 8. I think this is pretty close to what is actually happening. I am sure that BTITmaker will correct any mistakes here when he wakes up as he is in the UK and is probably asleep as I write this!

    "The Best of Howard Miller's Scenes" ? :D

    Better start a poll here on TV for members to vote :)
