  1. Very grim at Muang ake housing estate and these pics were sent to me from my old friend who owns the place.

    Up to 2.8 meters there and getting higher.

    The first picture you can see the whole lobby and courtyard of this apartment building underwater, from floor to ceiling 2.8 meters, many stranded inside and just for a indication of how deep it is, the electric transformer is 3.5 meters off the courtyard ground

    The second pic you can see the sois are full to the top of the housing walls and making peoples front yards look like swimming pools.

    These were high walls that you would need a ladder to scale. I'm amazed.

    The water isn't moving at all and just rising slowly and people are stuck with no electric.

    I'm not a religious man but i pray for them.

    Where is this at? Can you post a link to Google map?

    Great pictures by the way.

    There you go.

    Everyone knows it's rising due to the gates not being opened in Bangkok as they try to protect it but their patience is running out as it keeps rising daily.

    Army were by the building earlier and took 3 students out of there by boat as they were expecting another 1.3 meters.

    This will get worse before it gets better.

  3. Any news about what happened to the owner of the porsche and the family of the victim so far ?

    I think some followup from reporters would be great in this country. These type of news often fall into darkness after few days of publication and nothing is learned by the people.

    EDIT: Maybe not really the right time to bring this up, other major things are in the mind of people at the moment but still some updates would be important I think.

    He paid the family of the victim money and all is forgiven.

    Police get some drinking money, family get more money than they will ever get in one lump sum and the driver gets his freedom.

    End of story.

  4. Just ordered a box of kwak.

    150 each is 100 baht cheaper than most places.

    Finally a useful service but boozetooyoo tried and failed so I wish them the best of luck.

    I'll make my judgement after I see how they handle the logistcal side of the business.

    I like Kwak as well, but it is different without the glass. Just see they also have Orval, also an excellent beer IMO.

    So true and that's why i have my own one at home.

  6. villa supermarket at ho,e pro Chalong has a good range in stock end even have a catalogue to order 1000s more.

    They have the new star wars 9 dics collection for 5000 baht and that's roughly the same as eBay.

  7. I am a Highway Police Volunteer from class 5 in Phuket, April 2010. Of 160 graduates, more than 2/3 are Thai Nationals. So do you not like Police Volunteers in general, or is it just farang voluntees, in other words just a racial thing?

    I don't like farang police volunteers. Their motives are always suspect.

    Either they love the uniform, love the power, or, are trying to get some insurance should they ever have a problem with Thai officialdom.

    They say they just want to help, but, I'm far too cynical to believe them.

    I came here to post something similar but you nailed it.

    What's sadder is that they think they are respected for their work when it's a thankless job that only the bored mid life crisis retirees take on.

    Anyone seen that foreigner in the black fortuner, covered in tourist police stickers driving like an ass hat?

    Hope to see it wrapped around a power pole in the near future.

  8. I was wondering whether the Karma Lounge is any good as it seems to be one of the best live music venues in the area...?

    are we talking Karma lounge, corner of Patak road and a soi going down to Karon beach north end, traffic light junction?

    Yes that's the one I think, if it's still there..

    If you like lady boys, it's fine.
