Assuming by "here" you mean Thailand.

I've had no trouble using my own wrapping paper, as long as it's wrapped well they don't seem to mind.

PO has never asked to see the contents.

Some more info here..

Why do they keep changing the website address...it's as if they don't want poeple to find the info

Lets hope so.

Yes Pizza Hut (1150) and The Pizza company ( 1112) to name but 2..there are many other in Pattaya.

believe that { French's classic yellow mustard } is ready-mix

Yes that's correct.

mindblowing, tongue-splitting, eye-watering, nostril running, hair-raising, buzz followed by the lung collapse and gasp for air,

errm isn't that what "Wasabi" sauce is for ??

Rimmer, I've seen Marmite in Friendship....... hate the stuff

Totster,

are you sure there is an option to post atatchments in PM's ??

I quite like French's classic yellow mustard 36 baht for 170g ( 6oz ) jar at Friendship.

the safe which requires two keys, one from the Hotel guest and the other from the Manager

If 2 keys are required, then why on earth does the "manager" not hand over his key to the staff maning the front desk while he's off duty ? that way guests could access their deposit boxes 24 hours per day

They have some new railings at the entrance of Walking Street

that make it really convenient for pedestrians wanting to cross the road

I wouldn't want to live in one of these " Stalinist " tower blocks.

Nirun Condo ???.

Thier FAQ suggests a minimum of 256 Kbps upload speed

that suggests to me you would need at least 256 Kbps ( continuous uninterupted ?)

download speed, it think you'll be paying a hefty premium for such an internet service in Thailand.

Why not get a satellite dish ?

the link dont work you need

... and watch out for those speed cameras. You're not supposed to go faster than 120 kph. If you do, they'll mail you a 400 baht ticket.

Are you joking about that ? or have they really got speed cameras now?

South Pattaya Road flooded again this evening ( friday )

South Pattaya Road thursday morning.

You can go see this "lighthouse" at any time day or night, there is no lighthouse keeper or entrance fee...Its not a real lighthouse just something the local government thought would make the place look picturesque ( I suppose )

This lighthouse...

Actually doesn't work it's just for show.

they fill in the hole in beach road

Holes multiple plurals of them

When will they ever finish beach road ????

My one and only pair of shoes are:....

A pair of DR. Martins shoes.

Pro's.

Great for the uneven pavements ( no stubbed toes )

Nice and comfortable, almost as good as trainers ( but no horrible smell )

Good for moterbike riding

Look nice when polished up ( for special occasions )

Cons.

Not so easy to slip on and off when visting Thai style.

Or

Flip flops for the beach.

Barefoot at home and when asleep

Darrel Lintott, Bangkok Self Storage's facility manager, said that since the the launch at the end of January, around 30% of the 169 available units have been rented. Sizes range from a tiny 1.5-square-metre cell all the way up to 18 square metres, with rents from 2,200 to 9,000 baht a month respectively _ payment at the start of the month _ plus a deposit equivalent to a one-month rental. The minimum rental period is a month

11. Is there a certain storage period?

You are welcome to stay for as long as you need storage. However we do require our customers to store for a minimum of 4 weeks.

No.. sorry, I have not tried that offering from TOT.

Have a look on the above websites for contact details

<deleted> are water police?

Aren't they the ones who do the urine tests ?

I would venture to say that almost all Thai cities of any reasonable size now have affordable Internet service

you would only really have trouble " out in the sticks "

However you should be aware that the reliability and international speed can be quite bad.

Easy setup ? well not so easy but not impossible..might take 2-3 weeks.

If you must have internet at all times then have a backup connection ( maybe a dial up )

or CDMA or EDGE ( wireless ) but coverage on those are quite limited.

Depends if you want TT&T or a TOT line.

TT&T normally are quicker to set up and have more lines available ( though someone recently said on here that he got a TOT line in 2 weeks )

TT&T 2-3 weeks... TOT longer ? with both it will depend if they have lines free in your area.

Price about 3,000 baht extra fee to run a cable from the box outside to where ever you want the phone.

If you want internet apply for it at the same time you apply for the line,should then in thoery arrive together
