Diesel trains don't need electricity...they can make their own.

I though BIB stood for Bandits-in-Brown?

"up to you"  ????

Water leaking from pipes burried in the floor and walls is a big problem and cause of mould...you must stop the water leak first before any painting is done.

and next time maybe get fined for...........having shorts on

Shorts should be ok   but not wearing "something"  on the top half of your body ( T shirt)  is already illegal  I think its to do with the "cant go out in public without undergarments law"  from a long time ago...before that Thai women would often walk around "topless"  ????

That was like something out of a sci-fi movie.

The Mythbusters also covered  exploding sewers in one of their episodes.

is it grounded?  Sounds similar to problems encountered when using ungrounded desktop computer..

Yes good point  if they have a 3pin plug on them then it should be  plugged into an earthed/grounded wall socket.

i can assume its by design

 

any ideas besides lugging them back to the shop?

It shouldn't be by design at all !!!  

yes take them back to the shop and get a different brand.

if anyone knows of a VAN that goes to BKK from anywhere in Pattaya.

It may help if you provide a general location of where in Pattaya your friend wants to get on the VAN.

I know of a van stop outside the Center condo on South Pattaya road  and another on the Sukhumvit Rd

end South Pattaya road  near the petrol station ( not near Tonys ) and  pedestrian bridge..lots of stops along the Sukhumvit road..can be hard to spot the stops but they usually  have some motorbike taxis and Songthews hanging around them.

They look like soldiers to me in that green uniform

Its a trick of the light/ camera   the uniforms are brown..hence the  B.I.B   ( boys in brown) nickname.

and is the guy in blue also police?

Yes Immigration Police   though the foreigner with glasses and beard is most likely a "Police Volunteer"

with "lesser powers" of arrest ?

TOT at my house (at the recommendation of a Thai neighbor), and the main tv down stairs is "internet ready" and they installed a box on it for local Thai channels. It is worthless (no English channels)

Don't the ToT  IPTV box have NHK world,France 24,Aljazera etc etc  anymore ?

What is an internet shop?

Its certainly a dieing breed..going the way of the DoDo  but still some are around  like the "Kodak" shops which often have computers for customers to use,photocopiers and even..wait for it....a FAX machine !!!!

Ever since I can remember Makro have never issued plastic bags.

But you can buy them at the checkout if you need too.

You can pay the unofficial fee..or come back in 3 weeks for the letter, which might have errors,  my last one had  errors 3 times in a row..that would have meant a 9 week wait !!!!!

I can already see some clueless falangs in Pattaya making a big stink and fools out of them self's in places like Friendship supermarket about why there are no plastic bags, mostly Russians and Chinese who cant read or speak English.

I voiced my disagreement with the coming soon no "free bags" at Friendship..."how will customers get their shopping home without bags"  answer smile and hee hee ????

I went to the Land Transport Office across the Hang Dong road

Well no surprise it was so fast you went to a DLT at the other end of the country " out in the sticks"  

The DLT for Pattaya near the Regents school is always very busy and that's where it took @Tomahawk21 a long time.
