A cheap and effective trap ..the yeast & super water mix produces CO2 attracting the Mozzies into the trap and too there doom.

Yorkies

Sent from Android please excuse errors in type or judgement

Are Yorkies still in business. Haven't seen them in my local Villa (BKK) for a while.

Yes! Yorkies are still open and producing quality products if not I ate a Phantom Pork Pie last week

You mean a GPRS USB modem.....but you don't really want one of those. Too slow. You want UTMS/HSPDA. I also would avoid Tukcom unless you already know what you need. They are called Aircards in Thailand.

Not sure of the current prices of USB modem in Pattaya, but I wouldn't pay more than 800 baht for such a thing.

Examples here and here and here

In fact, I would look at a MiFi going forward. USB modems are a bit limiting. But expect to pay around 1500 baht for one of those. Example here

Thanks for your response,,but I mean a GPS USB Dongle so I can use my laptop as a marine chart-plotter ..thanks again for taking the time to respond

Hello All!.

I want to purchase a GPS USB Dongle for my Laptop and I would like to know if anybody has seen them for sale at Tukcom. If so which floor and at which shop/stall?...or if anyone has seen them for sale anywhere in Pattaya that would be useful to know too .

Thank you in advance

Cheers

​Could this be the real cause JT's delusions? ? :-

Alcoholic Vodka drinkers can develop a neurological disorder called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which can result in a loss of neurons in some parts of the brain. This syndrome also causes memory problems, confusion, paralysis of the eyes, lack of muscle coordination and amnesia.

Put a hand full of small stones/pebbles into a used coke can put tape over the hole to stop the stones coming out. ...Then every time the dog goes near a place you he/she is not permitted throw the can on the ground behind the dog (not at the dog) and say NO! in a firm manner.kept this up for a few weeks the dog will soon get the idea.....

Hi all,

Sorry for the slow reply but have had a heap on my plate lately.

Next Thursday, 8th August is a race / cruise over to Hua Hin. The plans are a bit vague but the guys organizing it plan to leave Ocean Marina Yacht Club early. Trip will probably take 8 to 10 hours depending on sea state and wind. Lately wind has been good.

Boats will stay Hua Hin till Sunday or Monday so if you can't crew for the 4 or 5 days you will has to make your own way back. Bus or the mrs.

The other question was notice board. Yes we do have a notice board and you are welcome to put something up on it.

Again, sorry for the tardy reply but have had a couple of "those" weeks.

Cheers

Having been myself several times ,go to ocean marina, great fun and always made to feel welcome,

Cheers

You might also want to check with Royal Varuna. I don't know what type of program they have, but they are here in Pattaya also:

Thanks for taking the time to respond

here is an old post from a while ago hope this helps.

johnbarpic,

mcyachty has just posted a new topic entitled "Anyone Want To Go Sailing" in forum "Pattaya Forum".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,

We have our regular monthly weekend sailing this weekend (10th & 11th July) at Ocean Marina. If anyone wants to go sailing, come down here by 9.30am, and I can help you find a crew spot. There are always plenty of boats looking for eager and willing crew.

I am the race officer on Saturday, so if any of the trusty helpers from Top of the Gulf Regatta feel like a day out on the water, then you are more than welcome to come along. It is not as big as TOG but still plenty of fun.

Ocean Marina is only 10 to 15 minutes from Pattaya, on the right hand side of Sukhumvit Road, as you head towards Sattahip. Located at the 157km marking just a few door up from the Ambassador. Plenty of parking or easiy to hop off the white Songtiew and walk in.

I also need to pull the finger out and organise another drinks night, as I missed the one on the 5th June, and saw that there was far too much fun had. Stay tuned and I will get there!

credit when credit is due

If money was No object Better too BUY a house in a good area instead of a condo

Hello all .

I need to buy a couple CO2 gas canisters (60Gr) any ideas to where I can find them in the Pattaya area

Cheers in advance

The evening market on Theparsit road (Fri,Sat& Sun nights) there's a row of Pet supply stalls they usually have a selection of them.

I use these www.parcelmonkey.co.uk ..they find you the cheapest rate eg I recently sent a 10 kgs parcel UK >Thailand and saved over £30 ( not to be sniffed at )

I got mine from Homeworks next to Big C ...(junction pattaya tai & the Suk) ....you'll find then right next to the check out tills

I retired at 44 yrs old and I then bought a new RV and drove round Europe for 18 months looking for my place in the sun ,I soon realized Southern Europe was just like England and it had many rules and regulations (thank you Brussels EU).So I sold my Campervan and started delivering yachts all around the world as Skipper & st Mate and in 2008 I delivered a sailed boat from Turkey to Thailand and never left .The rest is history and I am now in my 5 + years in this beautiful country

So to answer your question Yes I do wish I'd come here when I first retired at 44 Thailand has made me truly contented and happy it's not perfect for everyone but it's perfect for me

IF you are going to be a regular visitor to Thailand .May I suggest next time your in Thailand open a Thai bank account with a ATM card (It is very easy with Kbank) .Then you can set up a swift money transfer via the internet the charge is about £ 25 one off fee and once the monies in your Thai account you can withdraw without being charged...

Make your own it's so simple and cheaper ...and tastes delicious

yeah, 2 minutes... not counting washing all the instruments, buying a hand blender and throwing away most of it afterwards! what a waste. then the dijon mustard turning old in the fridge before I want to make another mayo...

BTW, way too much oil in that online recipe, the normal ratio egg yolk to oil is 10-20cl of oil per egg yolk, and as the eggs are really small in thailand, that's probably 7-15 cl per egg yolk.

That's an interesting point you raise there. I've always used this simple recipe for the base - one yolk, one spoon lemon juice and then add up with (Canola) Oil until it gets the right consistency. That usually is around 35 cl, so much more oil than you suggest. If I stopped at 7-15 cl I'm sure it would be too runny. How do you fix that?

I as a rule slowly drizzle the oil into the egg & Dijon until I get to the required consistency and occasionally I'll add some fresh pureed garlic a few splashes of Tabasco sauce ..It's got my taste buds working overtime now I think I'll knock up a batch of home make burger and spark up the BBQ
