Has to be Sirocco, a new roof-top bar overlooking the river and Thonburi beyond. On the 60something floor of State Tower at the lower end of Silom Road, just before the river, one junction on from Holiday Inn (I think). As pricey as it gets in BKK, but when you step out of the lifts and onto the lit stairway you will not regret it. Very busy now at weekends, so book in advance. 2,000B a head is about right with wine.

Anyone help me to identify why about 2-3 weeks ago I lost all commentary on one of the ESPN channels? This is very annoying as the extensive coverage of Wimbledon is now without any commentary, although I can still here all the sounds from courtside such as balls being hit, obscenities being uttered and mobile phones going off...

Anyone shed any light? Did I not pay my bill?

Hi - I am a UK ex-pat working in Thailand for 2-3 years. I am heading to the US soon on holiday and am trying to line up some travel insurance (makes sense given US medical system).

I tried to go through my old insurer in the UK but they can not cover me for travel that does not originate in the UK. I have also asked a few Thai colleagues what they do for travel insurance and they were, like, "what? oh no we don't bother with that kind of thing..." Mai ben rai.

So can anyone recommend a way to get some basic cover for a UK citizen, living in Thailand, planning travel (10 days) to the US?

Cheers
