Change your memo to: Must get a new key.

I used the same alkaline batteries in a small safe for nearly years and used it often and it is still going strong. Doesn't your safe give you a warning when batteries are flat?

Google search daily mail taking thai dog to uk,sorry dont know how to post link talks about costing £5000 with quarantine costs

Tachometer is any device used to measure speed of anything - rpm, kph etc.In the EU they are fitted to commercial vehicles to record such information as the speed of the vehicle and the hours driven by any particular driver.Now with digital technology they could be used like a black box to record just about anything you want.

In some countries you can be prosecuted for speeding on the evidence of these.

THey have certainly contributed to reducing the continuous hours of driving over any period of time by any one driver and thus reduced the likelihood of drivers falling asleep or impaired by drugs hours.

however As I have repeatedly said none of this is worth a flying fuc_k without proper traffic engineering.

It seems to be a sad reflection on many of the contributors to threads on driving in Thailand that they apparently have absolutely no knowledge of this science, and in fact don't even know of its existence. This is of course partly due to the surreptitious nature of the way it works.

The result is that most drivers are completely unaware of how sophisticated the road and traffic design is in their homeland and put the lack of accidents down to their own personal prowess or the short-comings of other motorists - neither of which is particularly likely or true.

PS - OF COURSE seat belts would have made a difference!Anyone who doesn't understand that just doesn't understand the absolute rudimentary aspects of what happens in an incident or collision.

I think a tachograph is what you were initialy talking about it records time, distance and speed.A tachometer is a rev counter

Just paid a total amount of 12,560 bht with CAT accounting on threppesit road same price as last year

Make life easy and just go to TT Moneychangers on 2nd Road near the Pattaya Tai intersection. They are bright yellow on left and right of 2nd Road about 100 meters past the intersection.

They'll beat any other moneychangers' rates everyday. They're also a very convenient place to buy any foreign currency you want. There's no need to sign anything. They'll hand and machine count the money in front of you. Best service by a mile. Never a sour face or attitude and they appreciate your business.

Never beat the Chinaman on 3rd road

whereabouts chinaman on 3rd road please? I have found bank gold rungland not to good over the last few months

D. all of the above.

Pity you just shot yourselves in the foot recently, by dropping your baggage allowance to 23kgs for coral frequent flier class.Emirates and Qatar both allow 30kgs so expats like myself will be voting with our feet!

Not sure where you got your info from. As an Etihad FF silver member (LHR-BKK twice per year) I get 33KG in economy:

Coral class same as basic frequent flier,as I only fly once a year now my silver status has elapsed 23 kilos is the coral class allowance + 7 kg hand baggage. Emirates offering cheaper flights fom man uk and 30 kg allowance,flying Etihad is a no brainer!

Did you used to write for viz magazine? and if so are the two fat slags now the two sexy thin slags(pattaya version)I think your real id has been rumbled by falang chalade!!!

True Inter Sim, you can buy it in most 7/11 or Family Markets. Valid for one year. Think its one Baht a minute.

Its 1 baht per minute to uk landlines but about 6or 7 baht to mobiles in blighty

Once it is set up, nothing could be easier than direct debit. You don't even have to look at your bills, just make sure your bank account is funded. I put money in it once a year.

I seem to recall my electric had to be set up with bangkok bank and water with the tmb bank,so two seperate accounts needed

Anybody flown Etihad from Manchester lately? the checkin staff used to allow 30kg coral class although it said 20kg on your ticket. Had an email from Etihad recently stating 23kg max for coral and talking about charges for taking more,Just wondering about enforcement before booking next flight.Qatar and Emirates both allow 30kg with a freqent flier card
