Yes, he will find it helpful as it tells him that reservoirs can be used for recreational purposes, which is what he wanted to know. Is that OK with you?

Sorry, I don't agree your response is all that helpful. " Despite being tough-asssed Navy SEALS, "  I'm sure any national, government team would be able to train anywhere they wished.

Recreational sailing & Navy seals training for international competition have little in common.

So no, not really ok with me. That ok with you ?

A few years back, the Thai national rowing team (yes, they had one) which consisted of a lightweight four and lightweight sculler, trained on Mabprachan, the main reservoir for Pattaya, before heading off to the world rowing championships.

 

(Despite being tough-asssed Navy SEALS, they failed to make it past the heats, but never mind, they gave it a go in one of the toughest sports.)

I'm sure grollies will find this helpful.

Another boring and completely overrated celeb. He kicked a ball around a piece of dirt. So what?

 

I'm no round ball fan & not a Beckham fan, BUT, if YOU could kick a ball around a piece of dirt as well as Beckham, I'd suggest you wouldn't be wasting your time making pointless remarks on a public forum. That's what !!!

" She was charged with making a false claim to police and prepared for prosecution, reported Sanook. "

Wonder how one is prepared for prosecution. Stuffed, trussed, basted & placed in oven ?

Good to see Horn win but I think one of the judges was a bit generous to him. 117-111 ?

Mornin all.

Anyone know if Truevision are showing the fight ?  What channel ?

Thanks.

Try Mr Google.

If they can't help you, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

But hey, just what I'd do.

As kids we did the pinch & punch bit. But if anyone tried it on me at 1:00 am, even Mrs Malt, I wouldn't be at all impressed.

" Neat bird I think "  As opposed to an untidy bird. Sorry, couldn't help it. 

Slightly off topic, but !

I have photos of all the stuff we like to keep in the pantry or fridge. If I can't find something in the shop, supermarket, at first glance, I show relevant pic to a shelf stacker. Saves mea lot of time & frustration.

As someone already said, shops here like to shift stuff around all the time. I think they call it "Falang Frustration"

If you don't give a tinker's toss then why bother reading and posting.  It obviously caused some consternation otherwise you would not have taken the time to get your point across. 

 

Give the smart A lying P what he deserves, nothing but an up himself Hollywood clown who thinks that because he is who he is he can do what he likes.  but follow the rules and if you can't then suffer the consequences.  I just hope the minister has the kahunas  to carry out his threat. 

Being an open public forum, most of the content is replies & comment, both positive & negative.

" It obviously caused some consternation otherwise you would not have taken the time to get your point across." Bit like you taking your time to get your point across about my point ?

While the discussion is about acronyms, please do not post profane acronyms here.  

Spoil sport !

I think if you want any worthwhile replies you'll have to be a bit more specific.

just my thoughts.

"how many times take to a  bar to watch football"   Therein lies the problem !

0k so do they sell Grants tinned Haggis    in Pattaya stores ??????????

Not that I know much about Haggis, but I don't thnk it would fit in a can.

I know 2 people who don't give a rat's arse about this story. Johnny Depp & me.

AIS  12call. Prepaid SIM is pretty economical & I never have any issues with call quality.

Being old enough to know better, you should be old enough to know not everyone lives in Pattaya.

You might want to rethink your reply !

I'd be consulting a doctor, not TV forum.

But that's just me.

Good morning all.

Would appreciate some advice, info, on a trip from Sakon Nakhon to Vientiane. We, myself & Thai wife, live in Sakon Nakhon. We would like to take a bus trip & discover some of the Laos countryside & a few days in Vientiane.

Initially I thought of driving to Nakhon Phanom & leaving the car at the bridge car park & taking a bus from there. On second thoughts we might be better off getting a bus from Sakon Nakhon & doing a round trip. Sakon Nakhon - Nakhon Phanom - Vientiane - Nong Khai - Udon Thani - Sakon Nakhon.

Any issues with me getting a visa to enter Laos ? I understand my wife can get a few days entry with her Thai ID card ?

All suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks.....     Mal.

Just my 2 cents worth. When I lived in Chiang Mai use to drive up into the hinterland & buy the best avos at road side stalls. Very reasonably priced & always top quality.

Since moving here, Isaan, I've bought several at Tops & Tesco. Absolute rubbish at a ridiculous price.

What if they interview the sponsor and ask questions and the friend slips up and mentions you're married?

And then they speak to your wife and ask her if she's married, or whose paying for the ticket etc etc.

 

If there's any whiff of funny business going on, then you can pretty much say goodbye to getting a visa for her.

 

Honestly, I think you're way over thinking this.

 

And I just can't understand why people call me a control freak.   555555

Gee, now you would really be muddying the waters in the application.

 

I reckon you should just go ahead and lodge your application.

 

 

Yeah, I'm probably over thinking things.

Why would the waters be muddied ? If a friend of my wife in Oz nominates as sponsor, as far as I know, there'd be NO connection to me.

Do appreciate your comments & input tho.
