  1. Last Fridays BBC Radio 5 movie review programme wih Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode, very well respected movie critics, gave "Taken 3" with Liam Neeson a terrible review. They said the movie has been widely criticised for being, well, crap, all around the world.

    Then in came a text or tweet from a listener who had seen the movie the previous day in Chiang Mai. He said the movie was awful and he agreed with the review, but he said that in the cinema in Chiang Mai, the audience cheered and clapped and gave a standing ovation to the movie at the end.

    Need I say more about local taste, understanding and sophistication towards movies?!

    Sounds like there are at least 3 wittertainees in Chiang Mai ;)

  2. My favourites at the moment are:

    Mexican - Salsa Kitchen

    Sushi - either of the Tengoku restaurants or Tsunami on Huey Guaw

    Western - Dukes, The Brotherhood, Kelly's, The Organic Coffee Bus

    Looking for recommendations for good Indian restaurants :)

  3. I'm not looking to defend Bangmai but I work with a fair few lesbians and I have a few lesbian friends so from personal experience I would say there is a standard "Tom" look in Thai circles - but this may not be everyone's experience

  4. If you're looking for a good view over the city then maybe the roof top bars at Maya or some where like Chiang Mai grand view or possibly porn ping if you can still get tickets

    Otherwise at ground level then normally thapae gate is the place to be

  5. I went partying with a friend and his brother in laws one time

    Woke up with a stinking headache so the mother in law says "drink this - hangover cure" and handed me chicken essence

    Didn't cure the hangover but did make it seem much better than drinking the chicken essence ;)

  6. Let's hope your Aircard/USB Modem/MiFi/Mobile WiFi is unlocked for use with any network.

    what does it mean?

    If your air card is unlocked you will be able to use it with a sim card from true, ais, dtac or any other mobile phone network

    If your air card is locked then you'll only be able to use it with a SIM card from the network it is locked to

  7. If the pockets block wireless signals to does this also mean that if I put my phone in the pocket of a pair of these security trousers that the signal will be blocked and I therefore won't be able to receive any phone calls, etc? ;)

    Could be useful for blocking phone location services if you tell the missus you're going to the shops when you're actually meeting your mates in the pub ;)

  8. My wife's office has 3 pcs - one is plugged into a UPS and the UPS is located next to the PC (maybe 3 or 4 cm away).

    This PC intermittently freezes once or twice everyday and needs to be powered off and on to resume working

    The other 2 pcs are fine, however when they are switched to the same location they develop the same fault

    Is it possible that the proximity of the UPS to the pc is causing the glitch?
