  1. I am trying to source a Firewire (ILink) cable on Samui.

    It needs to be the 4 wire type (mini connector to mini connector) to connect DV Cam to Laptop for media capture.

    Is it at all possible to get one on Samui or should I be looking at BKK.

    Look and ye shall find.

    A very common cable and easy to locate. Firewire/1394/iLink 4 pin to 4 pin are used on almost all notebooks with internal card connecting to DV Cameras. The exception is Apple 6 to 4 pins.

    Cables can even be sourced on K Tao in a variety of lengths and quality.

    Hmm..i..nteresting....Ive looked and cannot find,thus the post.

    Are you able to provide details on where in Samui I can find the cable.

  2. My sister in law has a small fish she keeps in the water tank in the bathroom (Thai style bathroom, bucket over the head shower)

    The little fish quickly eats the mosquitoes that come anywhere near the water's surface, jumping a few inches to get the ones that land on the wall as well.

    It does a great job, and is very entertaining!

    I've come to consider it a pet, and am very careful how I dip my bucket....so as not to send him down the drain inadvertently.

    I also look for any random mosquitoes I can find, and swat them toward the water....the little bugger snatches them right up.

    I think he likes me!

    Yes I have seen those little fish in the traditional bathroom tanks....I was thinking that they were more for eating the wrigglers that may have been depoited in the water.

    My real problem is keeping them out of the bathroom.They seem to get in no matter how secure i make it. Possible via the drain holes in bath tub and shower area ???

    had the same problem in my bathroom little b@ggers were coming up the drain in the shower bought a fine mesh drain cover from supermarket problem solved up to now

    you could also try planting lemon grass out side mozzis hate it

    Good idea,regarding the meshed drain cover - will try it out.

  4. As probably obvious to most ,thanks to all the recent rain and hot weather post Sonkran,mosquitoes are ganging up in greater numbers than usual.

    My local gang ,here on Samui, seem to reside in my bathroom,regardless of the mass culling that I perform everynight before bed.Wake up in the morning and there they are again! Ive plugged every conceavable hole I can find ,yet the little fellas seem to be able to pass through concrete block,overnight !!

    Iam obviously missing something (not the mossies thats for sure)

    Any suggestions at all ???
