  1. The Rolling Stones used to enjoy a good goats head soup.
  2. I live in the north of Bangkok and I'd like to buy some goat (Fresh if possible). I've tried at my local market this morning. They have a large number of Muslim butchers there but none of them sold it. They said to try Klong Toey. I'd rather not travel that far. Does anyone have any suggestions?
  3. As a happy owner of a 2019 model, MG Extender, I thought I give you my 10 bahts worth. I have no issues with the way the truck has been put together. It drives well and fuel economy isn't an issue and for me, it's very comfortable. I have the 2WD i-smart, Hi-Ride model. Finding a good,reliable service centre is important. But that's something that you need to do for most car brands. Last year we had a problem with ants shorting out a relay and rats making a meal of some cables. The car spent the best part of 2 weeks in the garage. The garage was unable to supply a courtesy car so they gave us free parts and labour servicing for up to a further 3 yrs or 150,000 kms, plus a 15% discount on any other repairs outside of servicing. I thought this was very fair. I recommend anyone to go and actually look at one in the showroom, rather than listen to negative comments from people that have never sat in one.
  4. I think the problem starts at an early age. Many students in the first couple of years in Prathom, are taught English by Thai teachers. This is where the mistakes in choice of vocab and pronunciation are made. Once made, they are very difficult to change. With regard to mixed up words. My wife confuses 'Tomato' with 'Potato'. Now, we just say 'colour brown' or 'colour red'.
  5. Yes. I'm more of a Singha man myself, but each to his own lol.
  6. I got bitten by a dog in my village about 6 months ago. The owner was downing a Chang about 3m away. He saw everything and then denied it happened. He reckoned I'd fallen over. I went to the hospital and got a course of rabies shots and a tetanus jab. He then went round the village telling everyone that I'm a liar and making everything up just to get some money out of him. My wife and I took the bill and photos of the wound to the police. He completely ignored any dialogue with the police so they have now summoned him to court. Wether he turns up or not is anyone's guess.
  7. I've just been told that all bars in soi 7 have been closed due to a covid outbreak
  8. So, does being a Phillipina hooker mean that you're fair game for any thieving scumbag that chooses to rob them? No, of course not. Whatever she had done during the evening is irrelevant. We should all be able to walk home without the threat of being robbed. Well done police for the quick arrest.
  9. I thought exactly the same as you, but I looked at one in the showroom the other day while waiting for my truck to be serviced. It didn't look so bad in real life, it didn't look so big. I still don't like the chrome. I'm sure there is an option to change it for black.
  10. I don't know where timberpond lives, but there's a nice park near me. Royal Thai Air Force Park at Don Mueang. 1.2km cycle track and a walking/jogging track around the large lake. Plenty of parking and there's a toilet block. Snacks and soft drinks available. It's usually fairly quiet. Oh, and there's a golf driving range there, if you're into that
  11. I've really enjoyed Yellowstone. I'm looking forward to 1883. Thanks for the 'Heads up' Worgeordie.
  12. I've had the exactly same problem a few times. Always with Lazada's delivery company LEX. Getting the message that they have tried to contact us (Never) and that they will try again in 1-2 days (Still no contact) is bl00dy irritating.
  13. No real problems with Lazada orders. My problem is with the delivery company that many Lazada sellers use. Name is 3 letters, starting with an 'L'. I always pay COD. Many times this company says that they were unable to deliver and tried to contact me. I always check my phone, no missed call and no message from them. Then I'm told that they will contact me in the next 1-2 days.....It never happens. I've checked that they have the correct mobile number. and tried to contact them, but still no luck. It doesn't happen every time but it's bl00dy annoying. On the other hand, Shoppee......No problems. but they seem to use different delivery companies.
  14. I had a rat problem under the bonnet. I used the spray and it worked a treat. I suggest that if you have someone starting the car every month, you get them to give a few sprays around the engine .
  15. Beerbar area on Sukhumvit soi 7. Walk into soi7. Turn left after around 30m.
  16. Easiest way using the BTS is to get onto the dark green line, heading north. Get off at Yeak Kor Por Aor. After that, it's a short taxi ride to the airport.
  17. I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes but strangely TPB doesn't have ep 3. Where did you find it?
  18. Three of us in the family eat porridge for breakfast every day. We get through a 1kg bag of Oats every few days. I was wondering if it was possible to bulk buy rolled oats in Thailand, say a 5 - 10kg bag. I tried Shoppee and Lazada, but couldn't see anything.
  19. This takes me back 555. Hornby. A model world. Some episodes are on youtube or you can DL from TV Chaos. https://youtu.be/7qlErrmFJ10
  20. That's it for season one. Only three episodes. Season two is out now, that has six episodes. I'm happy you like it.
  21. I have had 2 doses of AZ, given to me at my local Thai, government hospital. After the 1st dose I was given a date to receive my 2nd dose (12 weeks). I asked if I could have the second dose sooner and the hospital said no, I had to wait 12 weeks between jabs.
