Here is a novel idea. Maybe it's time they should consider that it was a Thai or Thai's that did it. Now that they have wasted the first few precious days focusing solely only on foreigners...unbelievable.

I live in a condo on a high floor about 1 kilometer from a Mosque on Sukhumvit Road in Pattaya.  About 4 times a day I am disturbed by a moaning sound being blasted by high powered speakers from the mosque. The most annoying time is at 4:40 am. I can hear this noise clearly even with my windows closed. I have heard that this is a call to prayer.

This has been going on for some time, but about 8 months ago it stopped.  Then last month it began again.  (I don't know if they had a problem with their speakers or why they stopped for a time.)

I don't think they have a right to disturb people who live anywhere near their Mosque.  If it is a religious right,  do I have a right to get some big-assed speakers and blast Tennessee Ernie Ford singing Baptist hymns in the middle of the night.  I don't think so!

I am sure I am not the only person disturbed by this noise generated by the mosque.  Is there some office I can complain to or is it just a waste of time?

Don't get too excited about 9 milligrams of roundup.

You would think that if it kills weeds, it must be terribly poisonous. My friend whose job is dealing with pesticides, etc. told me that you can drink a glass full of roundup and it will not hurt you.

Where can I buy the metalized coffee bags? The kind they use for coffee in the grocery stores. 250 and 500 gram size. I have some coffee that I want to keep as fresh as possible. I would even order them from another country if not too expensive.

I see you have an interest in Aikido. I have trained and taught Aikido for many years, but have not been active since I moved to Pattaya. PM me if you want to discuss further.

Thanks for the info.

I looked at the spices in Makro and didn't see any Tandori spice, although it's possible I missed it.

I will look for the Indian shop when I am in that area.

I am looking for Tandori powder. I have found a paste in Foodland, but want the dry spice.

The reason I am looking for this is that I think salmon filets baked with some tandori spice sprinkled over them are delicious. I buy the filets at Makro and bake them for 10 to 15 minutes.

Anybody know where to buy tandori spice in Pattaya?

Just had my car washed at Fairways today. 100 baht - promotional price, I think, but didn't see an ending date (40 baht for motor bike). They have a restaurant with aircon and of course, the driving range. It's off Sukhumvit, just south of Pattaya Klang.
