How on earth can Thailand expect to be taken seriously when for a week they resort to throwing water at everyone and do nothing about the carnage on the roads.

Thailand ha and always will be a 'joke' country.

Well done - a good post and good advice.

Would it be possible to pin or double sided tape to a sheet of perspex fitted directly onto the frame.

I have done this before and it has a good effect on noise isolation.

Try this guy - he works for AXA in Bkk and he is a decent man - 0819098088 his name is Joe.

Wow - she can put two words together all by herself - amazing.

What an appalling response from this government agency. They have completely dismissed the very obvious fact that the financial woes for the farmers have been brought about by the governments failure to meets its own financial responsibilities.

In addition,, they have instructed non qualified and inexperienced leaders to provide counselling services.

A further example of a shower of jokers spouting off whilst their collective head is firmly buried in the sand. So typical.

Sadly, phi phi has gone down hill rapidly over the last few years. Sure, it looks stunning on approach from the phuket side but beyond that, it is awash with drunken louts that seem to regard screeching and loud fiul mouthed abuse as a perfectly normal activity.

The main beaches are generally filthy and dominated by very loud beach bars all pushing out different music to satisfy the young misdirected hippy types that flock to the island for the alcohol and drug abuse.

Generally, it is significantly more expensive here for most things be it an ice cream or a bedroom. Expect to pay way over the odds for some poor quality food served by disenchanted and rude staff in 'most' eateries. There are however a few decent restaurants that take some pride in serving good quality food at reasonable prices.

Phi phi island does not offer much for families or those seeking any resemblance to a quiet or relaxing holiday. More suited to young drunkards that are on world trips and treap the island as a party location.

Sitting in my local bar right now and the police have just come in and told the manager to stop serving alcohol. Its 2010 on a Saturday night. What are these people thinking of. Tourist numbers are way down and those that are here are now told that they can't have a drink - its lunacy.

Thailand eh - always trying to find new and exciting ways to stuff the country. And, they are suceeding.

Honestly, talk about burying ones head in the sand - hotel bookings are way down already and the number of foreigners on Bangkok's streets are noteable by their absence.

This is just another bunch of meaningless statistics geared up to try to convince people that all is not so bad really. Typical Thai mentality.

One over zealous police officer with a baton will spark a riot situation. Time to get out.
