Are you implying that VF is anything other than a fine upstanding member of the human race?

He has so little to be humble about.

Lucky guy. The fire fighters must have got there PDQ.

Homepro, Power Buy and Numchai all have online stores (maybe others do too).

Might be worth browsing them to see whats on offer and compare prices.

Quite simply, after a couple of aggressive acts I would be on my way. Who wants to be in a relationship with a ticking time bomb? - even if she's now changed her ways - hmmm...... to that.

I doubt that a punch in the face will change a person's character. If I was the OP I would be out of there, sharpish... or at least sleeping with one eye open.

This worked when I burned a Le Creuset pan.

Simmer a mixture of white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda in the pan for an hour (keep topping it up - don't forget it like you did last time) then leave it to soak overnight.

Don't ask me how to get rid of the vinegar smell from your house.

Serving in the army is nothing more then wasted time.. all those old timers who say otherwise 

Several Prime Ministers would disagree, including the current one.

I thought you were a fan.

I've seen a lot of comments regarding the availability of turkeys for Christmas this year...

... listening to Pattaya radio 103 today I heard that Big C Extra (Pattaya Klang) are taking orders for ready cooked turkeys.

No indication of price (won't be cheap of course), but I thought it might be of interest.

Not about having the last word at all but I shopped at Makro yesterday around 1 PM. No cop.

 

You may be pleased to know I came down Chiaypruek and turned north so didn't cross those solid white lines and shoot the gap either.

Each time you do this you increase your life expectancy by a few tenths of one percent (so long as you look out for the red light jumpers at the Suk/Chaiapruek lights).

was there today - really good range of motives and motivated owners with decent English and even offering design layouts via photoshop, waiting for their quotation and design

 

not cheap tough

Not many things are cheap here any more. Good that you found what you were looking for.

I agree that relatively few people will have read that,

but I first heard about it from someone who doesn't know how to use Internet... proof that rumors don't need forums or Facebook to spread

 

Anyway, the day the fee will increase (because yes it will happen... some day) I bet we will see big signs on all bahtbus to be sure that every customers is informed about what he must pay now... So wait & see

I haven't used the baht buses in a very long time, but I remember that the standard fares used to be displayed on the back of the cab (5 Baht within Pattaya).

Today I was in town without my car and used 4 baht buses. As far as I can recall, none of them had the fares displayed. I didn't ask the fare but handed over 10B per person each time (just short journeys from Tuk Com/RGP/Central/Walking Street/Tuk Com). Three of us, so a total 120B.

It would have been cheaper in the car, but I must say that I enjoyed the ride (memories of good times). Riding the baht bus is one of the unique experiences of Pattaya - worth every baht (IMHO).

But, at 20B a ride it will be expensive for locals and frequent users.

Rolls?

I don't use a motocytaxi very often, but when I do, I tell the driver where I want to go, when we get there I ask him how much and I pay him, usually with a little extra. Never had anyone ask for an unreasonable amount.

 

Some people can make a 007 drama out of the smallest things. I bet some people think the expression "kee neaow" means goodbye since they hear it so often as they are leaving.

 

 

 

 

 

 I think people should be advised to confirm the fare before setting off. I am sure there are a few motocytaxi guys who will "try it on" and getting into an argument with them after the journey is unlikely to work out well.

I gave this post a likee just for the final sentence, which made me laugh (maybe I recognised myself).

Looking for corks in Chiang Mai, too. Have you found any yet?

Might be easier just to order online.

For standard size wine bottles... http://www.lek11.com/index.php?lang=en&headername=Home&headername=

or ... http://www.banggood.com/search/stoppers-for-bottles.html

Scroll through the pages - there are a few different styles (but only standard sizes).
