Listings up PM as in Hosp this am!

Hopefully nothing serious, thanks for your daily footy listings.

I see the law for motorcycle taxi drivers showing their taxi badge front and back of their vests lasted about 5 minutes....

True. I fly every month to Saigon. AirAsia return often 1800baht return. Make a weekend of it. 500ml Saigon green 20baht. Airport bus direct district 1 = 1usd.

Bangkok to Saigon on AirAsia return for 1800 Thb? How is that as I looked early this morning and it was 3640 Thb with no checked baggage.

Last time I drove from Bkk to Udon Thani I  drove through a village/small town (after Lopburi if memory serves me correct) and saw a lot of stone mortars, statues etc. Does anyone know the location so I can put it into google maps and stop to buy a stone pestle and mortar? Also any price guide for medium if possible.

This is not the somtam making pestle type.

Thank you.

Also TOPS produce their own hotdog rolls and burger buns. That is in their larger supermarkets, never seen them in the mini branches.

I think their are some other similar threads here in ThaiVisa.

What were the T&C's in the contract?

Travelling around this wonderful country, love fine dining, let us all know your favourite places to dine. 

As it is "fine dining" you're looking for, the Thailand Michelin awards were presented yesterday I believe, also the Bib Gourmand.

Living in the outskirts of BKK, we have a couple of local restaurants we tend to eat very often. Not fine dining by any stretch of the imagination, but just great, fresh tasting food IMHO in a setting we like.

Many of the free vpn's are not working any more, though I don't say there are none left that still work.

 

There are paid vpn's that have dedicated BBC Iplayer, Netflix and Hulu servers

Thank you for that info. Could you please recommend one for BBC iplayer or UK tv in general?

You don't need an Android box,you can do everything on a Windows PC,

I have an Aroid box but just use it for watching channels on Mobdro,

most of streaming is done on Win 10 PC,as i find it easier to use,all

sites i watch from work, on android ,KODI many don't.

 

When streaming via HDMI cable to tv, find it best to use RJ45 cable

from router to PC,WiFi is not good enough in my opinion.

just Google streaming tv, have an add blocker enabled,don't use any

sites where you have to register.

regards worgeordie

Hello Worgeordie,

I recall you posted that you are using Browsec and can try for free. (sorry I cannot find that post again) I tried the free trial and top right corner of my laptop screen is showing icon Browsec UK but when I try BBC iplayer it says i need to be in the UK.

The laptop is pretty old like me, so do you know what could be going wrong?

Thank you.

Hia Kiang has been in business for thirty years and is now offering his vehicles for sale at 250,000 baht each as there is no profit in his business anymore. 

And how much if a farang asked to buy one?

Deputy provincial chief Pol Colonel Khiri Kiatisarn visited Thanisorn's house said the hirer would be called in for questioning. 

 

He urged people to contact the victims to buy the meals to reduce the victims' losses.

Urged people to buy old pre-made meals?.. to help the victim.

Hello,

My UK bank is requesting that both my wife's and I complete a "confirmation of identity" as I am updating my records,

I have a list of who can do this but it seems to be UK/EU specific.

Has anyone done this recently from Thailand?, does it mean a trip to the British Embassy for both my wife and I? (Will the British Embassy confirm for my Thai wife)

Thanks and Regards.

what do you eat together with sardines ?

nice with some thick slices of brown bread.

Villa 33/1 IMHO. Close to BTS and a good selection of goodies. I know they had Christmas mince pies last year so will probably have apple pies too.

There is a Villa much closer to where I live, but they do not have a full selection like 33/1 for both sweet and savory. 

Apple pies in the below link.

Hit the "delete" button then in other words.

For what is it worth and please do not shoot me down for not being a seasoned skillet,

I got a good quality oven-proof frying pan / skillet from IKEA: https://www.ikea.com/th/en/search/?query=Frying+pans+&+woks

Also a dutch oven if anyone is interested: https://www.ikea.com/th/en/catalog/products/30232843/

Again, just suggestions.
