Best explained with a map.

I've heard that the Mio is one of the most popular ( to get stolen ) bikes at the moment.

Thanks for that info Kerryd... I may try again.

Then again, maybe she like my face

Ahhh thats it, you must be one of those " Handsome man "

I'm gathering photos for a 'Rogues Gallery" to put on the site, do you mind if we use your piccies (please) ??

Yes of course you can use the photo's....

Here's another one that makes me laugh ( I know I shouldn't laugh )

everytime I go past the place.

It's possible...but not easy at all,even if they do let you through with your car I don't think you or the car will enjoy the experience.

Thanks to the both of you ( Crossy + elkangorito ) for gathering all this info into one place.

I'm not an electrician but have received quite a few shocks in the past

I just wanted to comment that, 2 out of the 3 places that I've rented in Thailand don't even have a consumer unit !!! there's just a wooden box on the wall concealing a mass of wires just twisted together and wrapped in insulating tape ( not even conection blocks ) they must be extremely dangerous not just an electrical hazard but a fire hazard too.

Extension cords are prone to physical damage. Periodically check the extension cords by running your hand along the entire length of it. If you feel any discrepancies, inspect the area. If the extension cord has a cut in it or an obviously compressed or distorted section, replace it immediately

I know its stating the obvious, but the extension cord shouldn't be inspected like this while its live ie plugged in to the mains

Sam problem for me but I'm intersted in Pattaya area..strange that

U-tapoa and Satahip are hi resolution.

(Presume you mean a Non Imm O by the term "multiple O" ?)

Yes Non Imm O multiple entry.

Recently went to the new place in Soi 5 Jomtien...to try to get a "comfirmation of place of residence " , as needed for a driving licence and bank account...had a few days left on my 90 day stamp..the imigration officer told me to go do the visa run first then come back to see her again when I had more days left on my entry stamp ...trouble is that was the last 90 days I could get on that particular Non Imm O visa ( it expired ) so I didn't bother going back as they won't issue the certificate on a 30 day " tourist " stamp

I'm playing things the way my landlords do. Wait until they come to cut off the service, then run down ("leo leo") to the office to pay the bill.

Well "upto you" and " TIT " and all that...yes they should be sending you the bill but they don't have to come and physically cut off the service, all they have to do is deny you access via their radius server .. so as soon as you drop your curent session ( or the thunder and lightning storms do it ) you won't be able to log in again !!!!!

I went to the old place in Soi 8 ( last year ) with a multiple O visa ( albeit about to expire) and was offered 7 days extenstion.. when I protested he offered 14 days

I did a " visa run " to Cambodia and got 30 days instead.

Obviously he didn't like my face

So it must have been a " Photo shoot "

I seem to remember reading/watching somewhere that the local council where going to set up large screen TV's at Bali Hai pier showing all the world cup matches for free !!...sponsership by a beer company..so lets hope the drunken louts from " Engerlund " don't show up to spoil things.

Here's where I read it

What is this "Walking Street" you referred to ?

Kerryd,

you should get yourself down to the end of South Pattaya road ( no not the Walking Street end )

the other end on the left just past the traffic lights for 3rd road , ask them in the CAT office as to the whereabouts of your bill ..and pay the outstanding balance....otherwise you might not have internet service for much longer.

The hardware firewall can be setup on using any old computer and a linux firewall costing < 10,000 baht, perhaps the guys at linux forum can guide you more on this. The easy way would be to get some branded hardware firewall which may cost a fortune

Ipcop

can be used for this..just install an extra lan card in a cheapo computer ( 2000,3000 baht pentium 2 or 3 with 128 megs of ram and a 4 gig harddrive will do ) then set up Ipcop with Red, Green and Blue interfaces connect the internet to Red.. your trusted lan to Green and the wireless access point to Blue...the bonus of this is that you could have full acces the Blue lan but they can't access your Green lan

Mio's???

?????????

This viewer/editor is really nice one, thank you.

Seconded..its really very good and free too.

You have a private message.

How about the Suzuki Raider 150

Has anyone got one ?? if so are they any good ?

Kawasaki Leo

Is Thailand really still the corrupt wild west

Yes

Strange number of postings on this coming from outside of Thailand

How do you know that ???

Maybe you should ask in the motoring section of this forum.

Is there any "legal" betting in Thailand???????

Yes of course there is ...the state run lottery
