It is a Hotel bar! What do you expect?

It's a hotel bar? I hadn't noticed that. However, for the type of place that it is in its prime location, no, I expected high drink prices for sure.

When it was the Royal Garden Hotel Shananigans rented it. When Marriot took over they realised they were making a tidy profit and wanted all of the action and got them to move out to their current location in The Avenue. Dicey Reilly’S Irish Pub is part of the Marriot! So it does not surprise me that the Indian food is as about authentic as the bar is Irish!

We have got one we brought from the UK but do not use as we have an ice maker in our big fridge.

It is not one you connect to the water supply, you have to fill it up and away it goes. PM me if interested.

Just had a phone call from my trainer at CAWOW, dialled from his mobile number, to tell me that they hope to have the power on ASAP and he will call me again as soon as he can confirm!

So it would appear they are working on it, otherwise, why bother to call!

Thinking of trying one of the Bangkok Airways 3 day 2 night trips to Samui (maybe plus a few extra nights). Does anyone know what the car parking arangements are at U Tapao airport and how much? Cannot find anything on the web!

Oink.

Loads of both in Villa Mart today. 14 Baht / can

Yes, if Villa had not started not using pork & chicken, not injected with hormones, would you understand the label, or not?

Does the 10% include cooking the food or is that an optional extra?

Why not list the actual amount payable and note on the menue that the prices are inclusive of tax and service charge? Seems to work for just about anyone else and is a legal requirement in Europe and ironically Mexico!

Bought a plug into the lighter one last week in Big C Baht cost 600 use it for truck, motor bike, bycicle and air bed for pool!

It is back on!

Thanks for the info! In a way I suppose it is good news as they have not gone for good!

Where has 88.5FM gone. No signal today. We usually have it playing in the background. But today, nothing!

Some of us come here to get away from the burocratict control and tracking of our lives. If you really consider you post as a priority in your life i suggest you move and live in Germany!

Defence will claim that they took the knives off the Taxi Drivers. Possible you know!

Not more Pizza and Pasta please. When are we going to get somwhere that sells real Italian food other than an excuse for childrens cheese on toast and pasta!

One of the best italian meals I have had so far is Don Joes in Walking street. At least you can get a decent mixed platter and Antipasto! Oh! and they also sell pizza if you really have to eat that rubbish!

Also a big fabric shop in second road on a corner on the right just before Royal Garden!

These were ordinary partical filters. Not Reverse Osmosis. Just to get the grit out i guess, before they reach the RO filter.

They had grass seed last week in homeworks next to big C south Pattaya. Small bags!

I saw ome of these machines being maintained yesterday. The guy did not exchange the filters (that would cost money) he just put the filters on the ground and tried to wash the dirt with a hosepipe, then put them back! They were dark brown when they went back in. New ones are brilliant white as they are spun Polyester or somthing.

go direct to the shirtmakers. They are located in the side street up behind tutkom on the left. About 15 to choose from. Will make almost anything. There is a material shop on the corner where you can choose which cloth you want.

You can get bottles of Soda as well but it is a bit boring unles you put lemon in it!

The bottle shops in Khao Talo have trays of Zero but no Coke Lite or Pepsi Max yet!

I wonder how far you could get on a jetski before they notice you are gone. Quite a long way I should think. I am not suggesting stealing them or anything, just a 30 min, one way, jetski ride to Sattahip or somewhere

I wonder how far you could get on a jet ski before they realize you have gone? Do they have trackers in them?
