There used to be a car cleaning place on Soi Khao Talo approx 1 km after the railway.

They do carpets, seats and even detailing scratches.

Cleaning ac is a specialised job done by specialised shops like Boy Air and Sound

Special camouflage vehicle for the dark side?

But why not issue a password printed on the receipt which allows you to use wifi for one hour?

I think that's what they do at McDonalds in Centrals basement

4G? Is that the same joke as 3G?

Avg 3G speed from 364kbps up to 1.5Mb measured in Pattaya East, Pattaya Downtown but also in Bang Saen, Bangkok.........a big joke

With all the concerts going on there will be a lot if yelling and flashing coming down the #7 and heading for the hiso hotels in town

So the answer is there: the ice-cube-mold-bag isn't available in Thailand since it's a Christian thing AND way too convenient for Thai standards

It converts between an open face to a full face helmet.

More info....Google is your friend.

It is my friend, only its SHARK brand NOT BMW brand

Agreed but it is a System, not a brand, as in a horizontally opposed 4 or 6 engine. Which is called a Boxter, designed by Ferdinand Porche, but not all cars with that engine are Porche.

Some of the best ones are Subaru.

But if you knew the answer, why ask the question?

And bmw is not a designer or a system but a car manufacturing company

Shit I am only 58 years old, I hope I can be as smart arsed as you soon.

Smart arsed? BMW = Bayerische MOTOR Werke or in plain English: Bavarian Engine Factories.

And apart from cars they also produce motorbikes and probably a lot more.

Great answers; I was afraid it was me. Agree on the Hungergames too

If he wouldn't have been a cop I would say: RIP

Now I can only say: Som nam naa!

It's not an answer to the question, but I went to see The Hobbit last weekend.

Can someone please explain what is good about the movie......for sure not the story.

Great shots and great effects, but the story?

There was clearly a misunderstanding

3 beers @THB 45 adds up to THB 145

You gave them THB 170, supposing that the bill would be 3xTHB 55 = THB 165

Since you gave then (probably) more than needed......one note of 100 baht, 3 notes of 20 baht and a coin of 10 baht (or a 20 baht note and a fifty baht note), the cashier expects the change to be tip. Common practice.

If you would have given them THB 150, you would have THB 5 back as change.

That the cashier flipped out is not very nice, but it may be more some disappointment involved.

Provincial police? Were the 'locals' at the party?

ok.....2 houses from my home....I'll check my gate tonight, but last time I saw it, it looked really solid

Most people will be p_issed anyway; they just close their eyes an it's fireworks all over.......no that's nasty.

Yes, AFAIK the event takes place near Bali Hai, but i was just wondering...with this new greenish parking building, is Bali Hai still able to accommodate all those people?

The best punishment would be to have his face tattooed as Mickey Mouse or Doreamon and hope for someone who will get annoyed about that public display.

Damn, that's sad.......dying while you are baking pancakes

Oh come on guys........next time they stop this guy.....he'd probably be fined for not wearing crocs and not having his cabine sufficiently dark-filmed........and otherwise his seatbelt is grey and not black and maybe he doesn't have 8 cup-holders but just 4 or maybe even the truck has square wheels.

They always find something freakin' and if the truck-driver had paid up THB 100 as what they're supposed to do, he wouldn't be fined.

He's probably living opposite the temple and had to deal with a view on an ugly wall.

In that respect he's doing this for his own well being

He will most probably end up in a juvenile rehab Center for 45 days where he might be taught how to do those kind of jobs properly by his colleague inmates.

The guards may beat him up once and a while.

The reason for being refused exit may be an income-tax issue.

In the past (and maybe present) you must be able to show sufficient evidence of paid income-taxes.

If you book AirAsia there is also the "insurance-option". You have to un-check and confirm twice to save another THB 250.

One poster went to Hong Kong, didn't pass HKG immigration and returned to Bangkok. Although he did have 2 boarding passes as prove of travel he could have had a problem upon entering Thailand: the passport didn't show entering/exiting another country.

think before writing, most of the countrys where you travel you dont get any stamp in passport,

thats the reason when you arrive or departure this are different areas in the airport, cant be mixed,

so you wull never have a problem when you enter and you dont need any bording passes

Usually I think before I write, unlike most other "ubermenschen" here

Ah a quality student on an Ed visa, wonder if he is a digital pikey as well ? Wonder which school in Pattaya ? Guess his attendance register was up to date

Did you read the article?

It says the name of the school in it.

Soutpeel qualifies for an ED-visa

Officially you are working and you are supposed to have a work permit: period.

However: your photographic activities could be considered as "touristic" and what you do with the pics is a "behind the screen" activity.

A grey area and as long as your head stays low enough it won't be cut off.

And the passengers returned home safe?

Or do we have to wait for the next breaking news: Coach runs in..... ????

Breaking or braking news.....?
