General advice: stop using any caffeine, no coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks and soft-drinks (most of them here in Thailand contain caffeine)
Try it for 3 weeks solid, no caffeine at all, then you will really enjoy good and solid sleep with or without alcohol.

You said it, drag and drop, open itunes, wait for the ipod to connect, if you want you may create a new playlist on the ipod, just right click it, otherwise open a explorer window and drag and drop your file on the ipod, or the playlist you want the item to be in, on the ipod. If you sync it will usually mess things up.

Why not make your own, it's easy and once you got the taste you like, it will never run out and keeps forever in the fridge.

I live in the area, from Sri Racha or Laem Chabang its about 30 kms. There are virtually no taxi services that will take you directly there. You might be able to get a tuk-tuk but my guess is they don't like to take you out that far. My advice would be, either get a bkk taxi for a whole day to get you there and possibly back, or rent a car and drive there yourself.

All pretty irrelevant to those of us in the sticks who get a choice of one - an amorphous and pretty tasteless chinese grown large new potato. Not much use for mashing and no use for chipping, roasting or baking. Same same in Tesco and Big C.
(Nice) new potatos are best steamed imo.
Wrong.
We use those Chinese/Holland potatoes from makro and serve up decent mashed potatoes (with milk/butter) and reasonable roasties.
Can't make decent chips out of them though.
Would be nice to know how you make them into "reasonable roasties".

Dlink DSL-2750U supports some 3G sticks and is a wireless adsl router too at around 2.4k

Yes it has also stopped working for me, upon logging in my free domain service has disappeared. Time to change to dlink dns service if you happen to have a dlink router that automatically does dns updating.

At BKK take the outer ring road east [9] and motorway [7] to chonburi, then after the third tollgate on the motorway, take [344] to Klaeng, then [3] past chantaburi, where you find the roads to the ferry

The police does not bother the kids on bikes cause they do not have money, no drivers license and they do not own the bike themselves. So a single office will avoid the hassle and let them go on most occasions. Of course this does not apply when police has setup a serious checkpoint, then you see all the kids making quick u-turns.

The red tom yum is called tom klong and I agree it is much nicer than tom yum, with more herbs and spices

It's a lovely place and anyone from any age enjoys it, drive your own car around at your own pace, enjoying the animals. The only place where some walking would come into play, is when you go for the shows, I myself would not waste time and money on that as the park itself has enough to see.

Don't forget the tax you pay on the interest when considering bank deposits

You can transfer a non-B to a non-O at Bangkok Immigration, I tried it once and failed because I did not have the proper evidence that the work permit was cancelled (some kind of form or letter from the labor department to be acquired by your former employer when they cancel your work permit). That was then (5 years ago) the only thing missing. So I simply went out of the country to get a new non-O.

They don't have the copy of passport, arrival card and visa stamp requirement in BKK?

Because of previous experience, I bought a years supply of Tonic as the flood was starting including the gin as that was also not available for a month or so. With the things being as they are, I will keep a years supply in stock permanently

Just go to any central and look at their household/cooking section, they always have a few there.

Also make sure your insurance is fully valid outside Thailand.

As posted recently, Bank of Thailand bot.or.th posts the daily interest rates for savings and time deposits

Koh Chang Paradise Resort is the way to go there, around 2k per night and if you can take the pool villa at 5k, it's definitely worth the money. <br>Indeed Koh Chang is crowded by Russians, but I am not bothered.<br>Road conditions are not always very good, as the attached picture shows, this was on the way to the navy battle memorial site<br>

It doesn't say artificial sweetener, it just says sweetener. Doesn't that include sugar?
If you look at the Thai version of the Tipco page, it says "no added sugar" ไม่เติมน้ำตาล
http://www.tipco.net...duct.asp?cid=13
If it has sugar, I don't understand why they wouldn't have to list it in the ingredients when every other drink does
In Thailand "no added sugar" does not include corn syrup as a sugar.
According to the rules "no added sugar" may be written on a label while the product contains corn syrup.
All UHT Carton Thai fruit juices do contain corn syrup as a sweetener. (from reliable factory source)

I always make it this way:
Koh Moo Yang (Grilled pork neck)
If you can get the pork neck fat cut it is the one the isan shops use, it is a thin piece with fat on both sides
otherwise simply use boston butt (San Koh Moo)
slice it no thicker than 1 inch
marinate in a mix of:
Chili sauce
soybean sauce (salty one)
roasted rice (from a pot or simply roasted and ground raw sticky rice)
put it in a plastic bag and shake well
After 30 minutes - 2 hours marinating you can roast/BBQ the pork
I usually roast them in a oven with grill for 30 minutes but a BBQ will do too
Slice the roasted pork into thin slices and you can eat them immediately with some spicy dip
Now for the nam tok moo:
make a broth with half a knorr cube chicken or pork flavor
put the (left over) pork into a wok
pour in some broth so that it barely covers the pork and bring to a boil (not too much broth cause then you get Tom Saeb)
add a good amount of dried chili flakes (1tbs)
add (fake) lemon juice from a bottle
add fish sauce
Add any herbs you like, usually thai sweet basil, mint, red onion or shallot
after a few minutes of boiling taste it and balance it to your preference with adding fish sauce,lemon juice or some more chili
Some people like it sweet if you do add some sugar

I agree with the reports, boncafe has good service and the Saeco Vienna is one of the most reliable ones (also according to a boncafe technician).
Just had mine in for repairs after 7 years of daily use, within 2 weeks it was fixed for 2000 thb.

Boots has them in 30 mg caps, shop at the right time and get a 50% discount @ 60 caps for THB 550. I understand dosages over 30 mg may have negative side effects for some underlying conditions.
