Anybody know where i can get an Aerox instrument panel repaired?.................it has whats known as sunburn. Seems to be a common problem with the aerox and maybe other bikes.
Rather than buy a new panel there appears to be a way of repairing the existing one...........
Ive put this in the Pattaya forum as i need it done local
Photo below of the problem...............cheers

Strange i was in treetown last night at 10.30pm,never heard a thing.All the food stalls at the front were closing on time...........party must of been more towards second road.
On another note Jomtien night market is no longer serving beer as from two days ago, you can still purchase a smoothie though................i dare say a few people will take a vodka/gin filled water bottle in to add to said smoothie
Abhorrent behaviour .....

My brother managed (with the help of a nurse) to call me on messenger before they put him in a drug induced coma, he could hardly breathe, it scared the f*****g life outta me, he has been in a drug induced coma since just after Christmas, I sincerely hope that neither you or your loved ones catch it cos by <deleted> you'll know what scared is if they do.
Sorry to hear about your brother, hope he pulls through ok.
I/m somewhere in between the two extreme camps of look at the four walls for the indefinite future and the lets all just do what we want and sod everybody else crowd................IMO there has to come a time when life must return to some sort of normality, for me lifes not worth living to stay at home day in day out, to others it may be.
By all means full steam ahead with the vaccines and treatments but if everyone took precautions i.e masks/sanitizers....which they are not in the UK/USA then maybe things wouldnt be so bad?..
Govt also have a lot to answer to answer for, pandering to the big Pharmas and ignoring treatments for their own ends .......did you know there is a treatment with 79% efficacy that has been repeatedly ignored or held back by the UK govt and has had to go to the US for fast tracking...in July they had a Phase II trial with 79% efficacy and are currently starting Phase III in 20 countries hopefully for approval end of Jan/Feb...........it wont stop you catching covid but will stop it in its tracks in the early/middle days..self administered by a nebuliser (inhaler) at home straight into the lungs (so no damage to other parts of the body as with injection)
This treatment may of helped your brother...........but sadly as i say has been held back for political agendas in the UK
Company name is Synairgen based in Southampton......drug is a by product of 15 years research into COPD

New glassed needed. The link in the OP leads to a facebook news site and the name is spelled in Thai.
It's in beach rd. Soi 7.
Sherlock here would suggest its the J Bar Soi 7.............photo below from their facebook page looks very similar, even down to the clock on the wall
Slightly different angle to the photo though

Hi Thaiflyer
Thank you so much for the clear answers and photos.
I agree with you on the poor value of the paid for seating.
Table and chairs fine by me.
My decision made, I will go, maybe next week end.
I will actually arrange to see if a lady will meet me there.
Overall cost high but I generally live quite modestly so not an issue to pay more for something I consider "special".
Cheers
I would go about 5pm, its starting to cool down a bit by then.
When i took the photos it was not my intention to share them or here or i would of taken a few more with food and drinks menu.

Interesting thanks, up until about a month ago I had not even heard of 3 Mermaids. I only became aware due to a Thai lady sending me links to photos as she had just visited. Added to your own I think the place looks lovely.
A question please, I have not yet been but fancy a visit.
Going by photos the place seems more than big enough to handle 100 customers.
If I went would I still be able to find a decent spot to sit with a view?
Am I right in thinking I would be able to have a beer or wine there? I am prepared to try a meal there also.
Thank You
Seating with a view is not a problem but be careful, they have some seating 5m up in the air in a form of birds nest which cost 2000 baht for 3 hours
They then have 2 seater sofas looking directly onto the sea at 1000 baht for 3 hours.........lastly they have a table and 2 chairs seating which is free......i/ll attach a few photos you can see the sofas and my table just behind them, to me they are not worth the sofas are not worth 1000 baht charge, i took a coyote dancer with me and she tried to plonk me on a sofa,she was soon dissuaded with the option of some food instead.
Beer and wine both available but its not cheap, Hoegartten 299 a pint, smoothie 229 baht, coke 45 baht......photos below, the cupcake was 119 baht the waffle and fruit 269 baht, my bill came to 1100 baht but sometimes you have to just get out of the house.......the company also made the difference!!!

I ventured out 5pm yesterday.............went to 3 Mermaids Cafe on Pratamak Hill...........about 100 people there , 90 % were thai...........looking round masks worn but under the chin.....i kept mine fully on
Next stop was Jomtien bar (no names) had maybe 20 customers at 7pm....no masks worn
Last stop Beer Hub Soi Boukhao 8-10pm.............quiet ,maybe 10 customers.....all had masks
I know i should be holed up in the house...........and will be for the next week...........just needed to get out for a few hours.
Nice view from 3 Mermaids by the way
