Thanks everyone for your input.

Much appreciated!

Thanks AyG.

Basically it is what we are receiving in Australia from Thai PBS instead of their usual broadcast. I had thought it would be describing a loss in transmission but it doesn't seem so.

Can someone please assist with a translation of this screen grab?

I can't contact my chief translator/wife and urgently need to know what it says.

Thanks in advance.

Heres the full link

Says its a dead link ??

Works for me.

nescafe doesnt taste the same when nuked.

I'd have to take the washing new clothes on a case by case basis but I'll side with your wife on the other things.

I don't think we even have any table knives now that I think of it.

$350 (+postage) - Tell em they're dreaming!

They do sell them at Chatuchak market but the only ones I've seen are the generic non-branded ones.

Manly by 1 with George Rose coming off the bench to clinch it with a field goal in the final minute.

If I could tell you I'd be living there full time myself. Teaching is one of the few options if you are suitably qualified.

Work options for foreigners in Thailand are pretty limited and bar work is off the cards unless you actually own the bar.

I'm another moo fan...gai not so much. Still only a 9 though!

The gai always seems to be 1% meat, and 99% gristle and bone.

Pad krapow moo khrob = perfection

+1 for this. When done well it takes one of my favourite thai food styles to a whole new level of indulgence.

Love it! I'd give it a 9.

Hi John - I use an iPhone and find "iTranslate Voice" and the "Google Translate" app both helpful.

It's chemically impossible to metabolize alcohol into sugar. That would be about as likely as turning smoke into wood.

I guess I should have said "energy" rather than "sugar"....at least that is my understanding but I'm no scientist so am happy to be proven wrong

When it comes to beer counting calories is a little pointless. Low carb beers are essentially a marketing ploy as the body will metabolise the alcohol content as sugar and the only true "low carb beer" is a low alcohol beer.

Basically, like Dancealot said, the key is drinking less - I try to limit my drinking to a few beers a couple of days a week and it isn't always easy but it makes a huge difference. As long as you drink less, eat smart, and keep active the weight will come off.

I wish that there was a local version of V8, but they always add someting sweet like carrot or pineapple juice to the vegetable juice and ruin the taste.

Agreed. Same for the local versions of fruit juices in cans & cartons - pomegranate, mangosteen, etc.

Freshly-squeezed stuff (without the sweet syrup) is great.

You can buy sugar free fruit juices in tetra packs. Available in all the large food stores here.

There is no such thing as sugar free juice...only juice with no added sugar (on top of the copious amounts naturally present from the juiced fruit).

If you work your way through the settings options until you stumble on the language option you can select english. You will be able to read this at it will probably say "Eng" and be the only English word amongst the Thai and foreign script.

I've tried the Pad Thai at the place next door to Thip Samai years ago and it was pretty good - The story I heard is that the place I ate at was actually the famed Pad Thai location but the one next door had better marketing....who knows?!?

Unrelated but I was somewhat surprised to see one of my photos as your avatar ....where did you get that from? I don't recall posting it anywhere.....am I owed royalties

I agree with Jingthing - He must've sent baht. I regularly send funds to my kasikorn account from Australia and always send it in Aussie dollars and let them convert it to Baht at the Thai end. You get a much better rate. I have an internet account which makes it easy to see what I get on conversion.

Usually I end up with very close to their published TT rate at the time of sending.

Samsen soi 2 in Banglamphu (near Khao San) have an excellent little street food restaurant which does excellent duck meals. It's opposite the 7Eleven and the tables are outside and inside. It's not a fancy restaurant, however the quality of food there is decent and the price won't hurt your wallet either.

The food isn't bad there but they have a tendency to pad the bill out a fair bit.

I'd give audacity a shot. It can export to mp3 (From memory you need to download an extra add on for mp3 exports but the program or the audacity website readily guides you through this. It is a very easy to use program and you can easily chop unwanted portions from the audio you record. You can do a lot more but it sounds like you just need to do some basic editing and recording.
