Amusements

Looks like my next trip will be elsewhere then.

Thanks for the info

Does anybody know what's happening to Air Asia flights between Surat Thani and Kuala Lumpur? I have been trying to book a flight all weekend on AirAsias site but KUL is now missing from the drop down menu. I have flown this route a few times recently and the plane was always full, so I can't imaging them killing the route.

I tried ringing Airasia but it is constantly engaged, and live chat is useless. I spent over 2 hours waiting for live chat yesterday,  and eventually got to #1 and was greeted with "How can I help you?" ......only to be ignored when I asked anything.

Any clues?

Samsung service center in centrala plaza rama 9 says 8100b

Take your phone there and see what the prices are like. I remember this place, and its definitely where I would try first if you are in Bangkok.

Just seen this and it's similar to my problem. 

 

I've got a Samsung S7 Edge which was bought in the UK. It was dropped and the glass back (not the screen) was broken.  My wife phoned the Samsung repair centre in Roi Et, which we've used before for her old phone but there seems to be a problem as it wasn't bought in Thailand.  Not sure of the exact problem but it seems they check the imei number before they repair.  

 

I'm flying back to the UK on the 3rd of March so I'll probably end up getting it done then but it's more difficult because I need my phone more there than here. A longer term issue is that I gave my wife my old UK bought S6 so if that had problem so might I. Has anyone else had this problem? 

I just ordered one of these to hide a cracked glass in the corner of my phone, so it might be a good $3 investment for you also?

Hang on......I'm just going to the bathroom a minute.

OK!  The next lucky lottery number is 2

Well done so far!

I remember getting a 3-4 months in, and waking up from a dream in a panic! I dreamt that I was smoking a cigarette, before realising that I had quit. 

It happened again a few weeks later, but this time I realised I was dreaming, so I continued to smoke this particular cigarette and really, really enjoyed it, despite watching the filter start to shrivel up and go black. After that I never dreamt or thought about smoking again. That was 18 years ago.

Good luck anyway.

There's an agent on the hill going out of Nathon near 4 seasons.

I will also PM you an email address of someone who is a friend of my mate in the UK. He owns a property agency in Samui.

Do you mean the compulsory insurance? Where do you buy that? From a different counter?

 

My insurance broker supplied a certificate last year, with my first class insurance. But not this year.

On the way in to the center, do a right (Left are the counters) and there is a desk where they sell 3rd party insurance.

^^ Don't forget to buy an insurance certificate before you start queuing.

Don't forget to try another USB lead as well. I have 3 external usb3 boxes, and one of the leads is very temperamental, so they are not that tough.

I might of cracked the word xawi , it's Somali for the word sewing.

I just noticed the Vive on Jibs website https://www.jib.co.th/web/index.php/pricelist/pricelist_main/1241

So it should be available at JIB store in Pantip? 

Are you flying on Air Asia? If so, they don't make you wait very long at the airport at all. You might have to sit on the bus outside for 20 mins, but then its a 1.5 hour drive, and a short wait for the ferry, which take another 1.5 hours to reach Samui.

Normally  -  Once you get your baggage, you head straight for the Raja ferry kiosk in arrivals, show them your booking, and they give you a bus ticket and tell you to get on the bus waiting outside. 

Guys, your missing the point! This is HEAVY rain, not just your normal soft stuff!

Addressed to "Simple 1"

If the prison population is as what your saying is more represented by coloured people . Well have you ever thought the reason could be the white poms do not give them a basic job to make a basic living so have no alternative to feed their family but to commit a crime. I would commit a crime to feed my family if I was in their situation and I'm white Falang. What would you do? Let your kids starve?

I don't buy that. In the UK there are enough benefits from the government to "feed your family"

At least he didn't get electrocuted!

Sunee Towers is decent. It's in a shopping mall on the main drag near Tescos.

I remember seeing a red telephone box at the Harley Davidson Café the other day. (Near Taling Ngam on the ring road)

After reading the article, and comments on Coconuts - I hope the driver at least gets checked out by the police.  

^^ Also the Honda shop in Nathon had a few helmets in the other day - It's related to the one in Maenam. 

BTW - Between Nathon and Nameung  there are a few places you can try.  On the left past the old immigration there is a bike spares shop that sells mostly exhausts and cheap looking helmets , a new Yamaha shop, Kawasaki shop,  and a Harley Place that I seem to remember being recommended before regarding helmets?

Here is something that might be worth trying?

I was chatting to someone a while ago, and they told me about a friend of theirs who reduced their sciatica dramatically by taking a glass of water with baking soda in it every day. 

For GTA V there are 2 ways of doing it.

or

https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/script-hook-v

I use the script-hook-v method as it is easier to set up, and a bit more realistic. The only down side, is that you can only play in Story mode when this mod is added to the game folder, and it crashes when you exit and enter a car for the first time during the game. The fix is simply a case of pressing "Alt" "Tab" and then press "Enter" on the error box.

I am not sure why you are not getting the pedals working on the truck simulators? The G27 is specifically listed in the options.

BTW. The track sim you may of been thinking of could be  BeamNG ? https://beamng-drive.en.softonic.com/ 

I'm playing GTA 5 on mine, but its a bit of a pain to set up, and you need a decent graphics card.  It's awesome once its set up though.

The recent truck simulators are great on the G27. 

I did the same visa there, with a brand new passport a few years ago, and it was never mentioned. I would assume passport info is already in their, system, or can easily be checked.

BS on that 50% quitting quote.

Amongst people who wanted to quit, maybe?
