  1. 9/11 will be within few days.

    Just interesting: will the USA start support Al Qaeda on this day or later?

    What kind of support? We knock down our own buildings? No drones for awhile? Moral support? Money? Weapons? Discount coupons for Walmart?

    I mean rocket strike on Assad now.

    The strike which will support Al Qaeda to win the next country...

    I was in Tennessee on 9/11 and was watching TV together with all office staff. My American friends were absolutely shocked and I tried to support them at that time.

    At that time nobody could imagine : America and Al Qaeda are allies........

  4. SkyNewsBreak: Sky sources: BA test flight sent up yesterday has found no damage from volcanic ash.

    Is the current volcano eruption the very first one since jet aviation was invented?

    Very, very strange...

    It's always good to have experts on the forum. :)

    Agree.

    If we have here a pilot from Seoul/Tokyo - Anchorage,AK airlines who keeps flying near Kamchatka peninsula with it's 29 active volcanoes...

    He could clarify the situation better.

  5. Thank you, Phil Conners!

    Your pictures are good explanation for me.

    Of course, I meant bahtbus. But all Russians call this vehicle 'tuk-tuk'.

    So simple, just be patient and try to explain simple things to person which is not accustomed to these simple ( for you) things.

    And you'll have better mutual understanding in more complicate issues in future.

  6. newsummerday,

    So what did you actually stop? car, bus or tuk tuk? ...Then you took the bus ? Is it me or is anyone else confused? :)

    It was a tuk-tuk.

    Not the same as baht bus?

    Solly for mai English :D

  7. they are probably private hiring because they dont know how the whole baht bus system works, just get on and go straight, get off at the next intersection and get the next bus going in your direction.

    they probably ask the driver can they goto X location, rather than taking his 10b per person he says yeah, i'll take you there, bills them 200b.

    I'm Russian and this is absolutely my case.

    In 2007 during our the very first visiting Pattaya (and Thailand also) we stayed at 'Sheraton'.

    After day tour in PTT I stopped baht bus in the street and asked the driver if I can get 'Sheraton' with his vehicle.

    His answer was:

    - How much will you pay?

    As I payed in the morning 200 baht from Sheraton to Royal Garden Plaza I answered:

    - 150. ( I intended to save some money...)

    Right after that the driver went out from the car and asked/demanded all passengers to leave his tuk-tuk. About 6 people had to leave.

    I was absolutely embarrassed but.. I took the bus to get my hotel.

    I still remember this story...

    I'm not sure I can answer your question: Is it scam or stupidity?

  8. High end??? I've yet to see something high end build in Thailand, or are cracked walls part of the plan?

    Which projects you've seen already?

    To many in the last few years, expensive ones and cheaper ones.

    Been in condos, villas,... from new to a few years old and they all show bad workmanship,...

    The only ones I've seen as 'high end' is where the owners have refurbished or rebuilt parts, while keeping a close eye on every detail, straight walls, straight teiling, decent electric, water pressure...

    Maybe some people have a different opinion of 'high end', being able to listen to your neighbours in a condo isn't high end to me :o

    I could just add that in many Russian property forums where the 'high-end' property agent is trying to advertize 'The Beaches' this project was already re-named to 'Zayebitches' - originated from 'bad word' . The sense is similar to ' f*ckup', 'over-f*cked'.
