"... in the early hours of last Saturday, a man matching Mr Armstrong’s description asked a group of three people which bus he needed to board for Ramkhamhaeng - a suburb of Bangkok rarely explored by tourists but home to the university....."

Poison the dog. He's getting what's coming to him.

As much as I love moggies, that's not good advice at all.

I knew a bloke who had a problem with a Thai street dog, barking all night.. He baited meat with rat poison. The dog came and gobbled it down. The next day, same time, the dog was back barking for more.

Piece of cake. Siam Commercial Bank or Thai Farmers Bank offer both quite reasonable rates.

However, I'm not sure about AMEX they may even give a cheaper rate than visa..

Remember, that the maximum amount of cash, monetary instruments which are allowed to be taken out of Thailand is 20k US dollars.

Another option, you could open a bank account and withdraw the funds, by way of ATM, when you are in the UK. Just make sure that the account is set up for overseas withdrawals when you open it..

In your area, find the post office main branch, Then have it mailed 'poste resente'. You'll be able to pick up the item with your passport. You can check with post office first, if you like.

I must watch my Aussie 'a' as it does sound like an 'i' I try to say it more like an 'e', so the kids don't get confused. We use an 'a' very often, everydiy, oopsI...everyday. Can't blame them for having a little trouble getting used to an Aussie accent. We need our 'a' repeated back to us to know how we mangle it.

A Thai company is buying some?

Heartless

A 5 kilo bag of charcoal costs about 30 baht. Can pick it up from many shops. Macro has it.

The usual procedure in Thailand is that, if you have to pay a traffic fine, the police will, on the spot, consficate your driver's licence. To have the licence returned, the nest day or later, you must go to the policeman's station and pay the fine.

Check out your electric lines coming from the meter. Are there any extra there, going where they shouldn't be?. People in our street hooked soi flourescent lights up to my electric meter, which caused the monthly bill to jump by a few hundred baht.

^So true. That's why these guys stay so rich.

Feel sorry for the cats and dogs. It's a pity that the many donation and charity scams in Thailand ruin things for the possible needy causes.

'Once bitten, twice shy.'

Be careful. They may not be all that high up mate,

"Few people on the street would suspect that anyone walking around decked out like this was an imposter. For a bit more money to buy the appropriate cap, our graphics designer could become a police colonel (cap with one row of silver flowers) or higher ranking officer (cap with two rows of silver flowers).

Thais generally respect and even admire anyone in uniform and this may explain their popularity. And this doesn’t stop at the police and military; many other professions wear uniforms with lots of flashy of badges and decorations that can all be bought by anyone to impersonate private security guards, teachers, toll collectors on the expressways, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) officers and many more."

Looks more like a human finger. Yuk! I'm gonna log off now and have a few beers.

^I'm just going outside now to check my mutt's toes.

Anyone woofed down some pan licker in Thailand?

Nope. Not unless I was a cannibal in a nursing home.

A little off topic, though interesting. My ex-brother-in-law worked as a kitchen-hand/waiter in a Sydney Thai Restaurant, where the policy was too re-dish up any customer leftovers, to the next victim.

Not knowingly, but after eating on the Bangkok streets for 13-years I would be surprised if a motley soi dog hadn't gotten mixed up there somewhere, in the fried beef.

I'm thinking of some self defense now. Two nights ago, at 9pm I was riding a 125 bike in a dimly lit Bangkok back soi, I slowed up to look for a toilet. I had on a helmet which has no visor. When a Thai bloke (about 45 years old) cruised up beside me on a similar bike. He spoke to me in Thai (haven't the faintest idea of what he said), then threw a large handful of chilli pepper straight into my eyes. At first I had thought it was dirt or sand. Next, he grabbed hold of my bike's front basket. I gunned the bike and tried to get out of there. The bloke let go and didn't follow. Luckily the chilli powder didn't start to take affect until after about 400 meters. A further 600 meters on, the chilli was making my eyes sting and I couldn't keep them open, so I stopped at a mom and pop shop. I didn't want to stop, cause I didn't know that I wasn't still being chased by this madman. I pulled up and shouted out, 'chuay duay' and washed my eyes out with a bottle of water. Would like to keep a meat cleaver somewhere handy on the bike - pipe dreams no doubt.

I still remember him staring staring at my black leather bag, which was held in place by a bungee cord, in my bike's basket.

Guess it was an attempted robbery or a racial attack.

It's hard to believe that your wife was surprised, as Thais grow up with kateoys using the women's dunnies.

Was easy, because Andy waited for the billy to boil.
