Blue Muton

We've been married about four years. My only regret is that we didn't meet (and marry) 10 or more years earlier.

'A small amount of ice, that was hidden in the fridge'.

I have loads in my fridge too, comes in handy during this hot weather.

I prefer to keep mine in my freezer, it tends to last longer.

Why would they be messing with the brake light in first place?

They weren't. They identified it as the source of the leak. I assumed that they meant that they MIGHT have over tightened the screws when they fitted the Carryboy over a year ago. Presumably they may have connected the brake light in the Carryboy via that one. In any event you'd have to agree that was pretty good service.

.......for our Nissan Navara?

Yesterday we took our truck for a service at the main dealer in Suphan. The truck is about 15 months old and had a Carryboy fitted from new.

We mentioned that there was a small leak between the cab and the Carryboy. When they had finished they told us that the leak was caused by a cracked brake light, which they had replaced.

I was a bit baffled say to how it could have been broken, anyway we asked them how much it would be. The reply was unexpected: "maybe we tightened the screws too much so no charge".

The service, including oil and filter change was about 1,500 THB.

I dread to think what it would have cost back in England, and couldn't imagine a dealer taking responsibility like that and seeming happy to do it.

My wife never has and I doubt ever will drink alcohol.

She is not from "Isaan" but would tell you where to go if you attempted to "persuade" her.

I feel for you. I've been trying to find out about locally held conker tournaments for several minutes without success. Even Google couldn't help. I'm being very flexible too, I'm prepared to travel anywhere in the amphoe at a moments notice.

No. Guy enters bar. Can I use wc? No only customers. Ok in that case gimme a cocktail. Gut leaves for wc. Returns. Leaves cocktail untouched. Walks out w/out paying untouched drink. ? ? ??

The muppet ordered an expensive cocktail, what were the bar staff supposed to do, pour it back into the components' bottles?

He should start a club with the Dhammachayo abbot. The Club Of Indefinitely Sick Criminals.

Maybe they use the same doctors as ernest saunders.

RLC scores two and Lewis Baker gets one for England U21's against Paraguay in the Toulon tournament. Two exciting prospects, but will they get opportunities under the new boss?

That's great news for us residents of Suphanburi, if it is true. I would appreciate it if you would post any additional news you hear about this new Immigration Office. Thanks.

Yes, it takes us nearly two hours to get to Ayutthaya as opposed to under an hour to Suphan. I'll update if and when I hear more. It was presented to me as a done deal.

This may be old "news" but today I was told that a new immigration office will open next month in Suphanburi, not far from Tesco Lotus.

The source is a Senior Sergeant-Major in the Ayuthaya immigration office, where I was making my 90 day report. He advised me that next time I will be able to make my report in Suphan, followed by the above details.

...and public transport outside of Bangkok is often poor to non-existent...

This part is hogwash. Apparently the poster has never been outside of Bangkok.

Buses, songthaews, sam-lors, and some motorcycle taxis go virtually everywhere in the sticks outside of medium to small towns.

In fact, the only downside in going back to my home country (supposedly "developed") to visit, is that public transportation out in the countryside is not as convenient as within Thailand.

The reason you see these overloaded motorcycles and pick up trucks is strictly due to convenience. Same mentality as throwing plastic rubbish all over the roadsides.

Most of these people/families could afford the 9 baht to go up to 15 or 20 km. on a local songthaew. Need to go further? The pickup truck driver charges more than what they'd pay for dirt-cheap public transportation.

What they like is the door-to-door service on their own schedule.

There is no public transport near our village, to suggest that there is everywhere is nonsense.

Retired last year aged 54 and loving it. I am now a Duck Rancher's Husband.

Everything is going to change - yes, they're going to stock palm oil instead!

Please post some proof of them stockpiling palm oil at a cost(not price) of around the same amount they pay for the health budget per year.

Because that was what was done.. off books a amount of cost almost as high as the health budget for a year.

If you come up with those numbers Ill tell you I was wrong otherwise.. its a nice diversion.

Seems when I write something about Thaksin in a Junta topic.. i get .. the ehh.. .but Thaksin from the reds.

You deserve an Ehhhh but the Junta now

(to be honest I find it normal to post things comparing junta and Thaksin in topics like this but it seems to be off limits for some reason)

Never mind - it was a joke...

I think probably All Bar One knew that!

"Two men wearing crash helmets came into the shop after parking their motorcycle outside.........."

"Police said they were looking into CCTV at the shop to hunt down the two men."

Simple then, just nab the only two helmet wearing motorcyclists in Bangkok.

The seafood market at Suk 24 is a real treat for us, great food, a slightly different experience and really good service. It may be expensive and touristy but I like it, as I said, for a treat.

ty, any recommendations are greatly appreciated, just looking for something clean, cheap but not too cheap and nearish to the beach, ty.

Stayed in a few there, have a look at the Bihai, very near to the beach, clean and cheapish.

Anybody ever try those prawns that weigh

1-2 kilo each ? Only saw them in Hua Hin

Wonder if they are tough when you eat, they are so

Large.

Not tough at all, they are simply amazingly delicious. Now you've made me salivate, I'll have to head back down there soon. I'll send you the bill.

Not correct on the 7/11. The charge is per transaction, not "per guest", if by "per guest" you mean "per passenger". I recently paid for flights for five passengers, one booking and one 7/11 counter transaction card.

It actually does say "per guest" on the Air Asia web site, which does mean "per passenger". See the attached screen capture. Maybe Air Asia are showing wrong information.

Sorry, I meant the processing charge from 7/11, not the charges from AA, looks like I confused things.

....because 'small clubs' don't have rivalries?

IMO you can't get much more small-time than trolls who frequent the pages of other teams' pages.

Sums up the bitterness and pure hate that the yids have for us quite nicely........and long may it continue........

Not as long as the list of world class players that Rottenham "nearly" signed. And in the last couple of years they "nearly" won the league cup and followed it up by "nearly" winning the league. Next year they might "nearly" sign Messi then "nearly" win the CL. Or not.

I can remember seeing this type of Hooliganism before, in Europe, committed by English soccer (excuse me football) fans (let's not forget skin heads and other trash in the west as well). This type of behavior is brutal no matter where it takes place, and it takes place everywhere. For many here to suggest that Thai men are more prone to this type of behavior than others is just stupid. I'm not making excuses for the Thai people involved in this incident but to link this type of behavior to all Thai men or all Thai people is ludicrous. It happens in my own country and in the home countries of the rest of the old, white people who frequent this site.There are bad apples everywhere. Now, what the criminal justice system here does with the case is another story. Thailand has many problems for which constructive criticism is called for, but there is a group of trolls on this site that just hate the country and the people. If you hate the country and the people, leave the country, stop visiting, and leave this site as your hatefulness is not helpful.

Nonsense, why post off topic rubbish on a subject that you know little or nothing about. English football hooligans have never gone around bashing old women, they tend to keep it among themselves.

Tell us where you were when you saw this.

And no, I am not nor ever have been a hooligan, football or other, but I have followed football for forty years across England, Wales and Europe.

Too little, too late, and nowhere near the city centre. Bangkok has about 10% of the green space of most cities of its size, which is one of the reasons why it has the worst pollution in the world apart from a few Indian and Chinese cities. Environmentally speaking, it is an unmitigated disaster.

I guess you never figured out how to eat an elephant.
