Ok see you soon I'll bring my wellies!

TBWG

how can that be when the Surin ones are actually bigger than the BR ones ??

Also the shepards pie at Surin is outstanding.....I ordered from BR twice.....I ordered from Surin 3 times now and shall continue as they are much better, tastier and priced right too.

My comment is based on fact.

I sell both types of pie and I have weighed the pies and extensively sampled the contents.

Not quite sure what you mean by that, David !

Anyone who has seen the proprieter will not argue with the above quote!

I lived there for 9 years. Moved last year. What do you need for infos?

Hi

Thanks for all replies.

A year or so ago whilst I was waiting for my bus at Mo Chit and I met a british guy from Roi-et. If possible I would now like to contact him.

He was a war veteran of the Afghan war and was employed as a captain for the Indian airline Jet Airways and he lived with his wife and young child in Roi et. You would certainly not mistake this guy as he is rather unique.

Nothing sinister in me wishing to contact him, but as I have just booked a flight to Delhi with his airline for the upcoming F1 GP I feel that if he is a member of this forum he could give me lots of tips!

Thanks again

Hi

Anyone familiar with the area ~~~ need some info.

TBWG

Gee! I hope it was a turtle and not a tortoise at least it would then have a chance

I still reckon it is a rice field terrapin and a female judging by the size. I which case it eats mainly water snails and small shrimp.

Best left in its natural evironment.

TBWG

It's a golden tree snake great to have around as it eats rodents! But only if it is alive!

Hi

Think you might find it is LGW-KL so still need to get to BKK.

TBWG

Spotted him walking around Central in full regalia ( minus bicycle ).

I don't think he does any harm, so he should be left alone to do his "thing".

Ah, the air con and captive audience. Sure beat pedaling the bike in the heat wearing all that clown shit.

Maybe shopping for moon cheese!

TBWG

Any recent sightings?

TBWG

Yes as mentioned. Not sure of your nationality so be prepared for the place to be identified as "left baggage" which is a British English terminology if you're not familiar with it.

Thanks for info.

Hi

TBWG

Jetstar

Strategic

Air Asia

Virgin

Though a couple of them may only fly out from Phuket it may be viable to get a cheap Air Asia flight down to Phuket for the international flight.

Any recommendations BKK - PER non stop ?

TBWG

Can I help? :)

TBWG

What a bunch of hooey! Love to hear from the Glitterman again... no time like the present!

Maybe he has overdosed on Moon cheese!

TBWG

is this a private topic??

only for the ones who knows the golden one??

Very helpfull .....topic whit super good info................not!!

If you live in Pattaya or follow the Pattaya thread I am surprised you do not know of Glitterman!

He is after all a leg end in his own lunchtime! Maybe you need to get out more?

TBWG

Getting bored in the UK are we ???????

Very!!

TBWG

He seems to be keeping a low profile ~~~ any news on the glittery one?

TBWG

Again - have any posters good tips for EASILY identifying a certain type of snake?

buy this book...

Funnily enough I 'inherited' that book from a relative when they left Thailand. Unfortunately I lent it to a friend, and can't remember who .

Even so, although it was helpful to see the pictures, so many snakes are so similar that I never found it much help.

The trick is to not just look at the pictures, but read the descriptions too...

worked for me when i first came here 7yr ago.. Since then, i've rarely come across a snake species in Thailand that is not in it. (& i'm in the forests & 'jungles' quite a bit)

Here is a pic of my chequered keelback clearly showing how it got it's name.

After removing it to waste land it returned to my garden where it now lives without any problems.

TBWG

You can't talk about the punters like that

Ahh - you've obviously met some of them.

Met some, never tasted one though

Iwant to start eating pies but have lost his contact details.

OK Binnsy I will rise to the bait! After all I'd hate to think you were going hungry.

Give his pork pies a whirl ~~~ great with a pint!

TBWG

Hi

Just a thought ~~~ you say you have just moved into a new bungalow, maybe still on construction tariff which I am led to believe is much higher than standard domestic rate.

TBWG

Muang meat balls are pretty delish too!

TBWG

PS Cardholder does NV = nackered vehicle?

Your question reminds me of the clever lyrics from a Thin Lizzy track

"There's going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town"

Sorry, I'll go sit back in the corner of the room!

Hey DDt

Is that the jail near Dino's Bar & grill?

TBWG

Hummm

Green resort offering Jet Skiing in the Mekong? Oh dear!
