how are you doing losing weight? i lost since jan1 19.5kg (from 97 to 77.5). another 2.5kg to go.

Well done, wish I had your will power. I've been stuck on around 80kgs for the past few years so I'm not too concerned. Stick at it.

Unscheduled blackouts in Kathu this week

TAT announces Donald Trump coming to Thailand for a holiday

Just finished breakfast...bacon sandwich with pot of tea. Used low fat milk in the tea as i'm on a diet. 

Im on TOT fibre optic, total c**p for the past couple of days. Bye bye TOT

The Samkong underpass will be completed by end of November...honest.

OK the underpass has been in use for a few weeks now but overall the work is far from being 'finished'. 

Hope they cleared the touts.

Last jar of anchovies I bought was from Makro

Lurid shows in Phuket Town...disgusting. But hey, why pick on Phuket Town shows, walk down Bangla any day of the week and you see touts pushing these 'lurid shows'. Then of course theres the big place in ChinaTown Plaza. This one doesn't count though as its only catering for the quality tourists from the East. No chance of this place being raided as its difficult to find (across the street from Patong Police Station & within walking distance). Not only that, its run by the same people who control Paradise Beach Club; you know, the one that was supposed to be removing it's structures because they are illegal.

Some things never change.

"...The objective of the annual Mega Fam Trip, which came under the theme “Classic Phang Nga”, is to allow tour agencies to survey tourism products available in the province as well as explore accommodations and new tourist attractions, especially in the Khao Lak area which is well known among foreign visitors, before the high season starts this October 15..."

How does it go....Proper Prior Planning Prevents etc., etc.

better late than never I suppose.

Agreed. Thai celery has a very intense flavour. Buy a large bunch from the market and dry it in the sun. Grind to a powder. Add to soups stews etc, Just as good as celery seed.

Great idea, many thanks.

Think I'll skip the soup and stews though and stick with 'etc.' In my case the 'etc.' will consist mainly of Bloody Mary's

substituting wasabi for anything is an invitation to disaster...

 

I was with my english ex on a flying visit to LA and we were in a sushi place of the type that LA is known for...and she picked up a gob of wasabi on the side with her chop sticks and said: 'what's this?' and before I could stop her tossed it back...(she had also insisted on wine with japanese food)

 

pandemonium ensued...and she threw her wine on me and ran out of the restaurant...

You starting your campaign for POTY already?

Try out the Huey Morgan Show on BBC Radio 2 on a Sunday morning. I'm sure you'll get more than the 'occasional surprises'

In the UK I believe planes from the WW2 era do that stuff...."The Memorial Flight".

 

A Spitfire, a Hurricane and a Lancaster bomber...

The real star of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is the 'Lanc'. Terrific airplane.

I was led to believe the authorities were continuously bemoaning the shortages in the number of officers serving within the police force in Phuket. This morning while driving the bypass road from the Toyota shop at the northern end down to the Central intersection I was surprised to see members of the BIB standing at the side of the road every 60 metres or so apart. Where did they all come from, does it mean that all other policing duties are on hold this morning?

Driving up to the Samkong underpass site this morning I was thinking there was a slim chance the project engineer may actually achieve his stated aim of completion of the project within September. Unfortunately by the time I arrived at mess, sorry I meant site, and started driving up the north bound slip road the rain started. My question is if completion is not achieved this month will the weather be once again blamed for any further delay to the project?

At a guess i would say about 20K north of Khon Kaen

I think that works out approx 300,000 baht per rai all in. Down Phuket way (Patong) there's people looking for over 100 mill baht/rai for underdeveloped land.

Appologies if the conversions are incorrect but being TV someone will be happy to provide any correction needed.

Nice looking train engine. Is it a picture of a train in Malaysia ?

It must be Malaysia, theres no market stalls either side of the track.

"He stated that the new army chief will be a senior officer, who will be both highly knowledgeable and capable"

Does this mean this position will only be open for foreigners?

I wonder how he managed this?

The vehicle was in the ditch pointing north in the southbound lane on an uphill section of road.
