Hi CM TVers.

Does anyone know of any nannies/child minders who are looking for work at the moment?

Feel free to reply to this thread or PM me.

Thanks in advance.

Speaking to the owner, she said that Subways just dont appeal to Thais . Uncooked food, salad, is something that Thais dont like .

A trip to 'The Salad Concept' might convince you otherwise.

If you need any rugs, check out 'Carpets Inter' on the Mahidol Road. It'll be on your left roughly one kilometer before Central Airport junction if you're coming from the superhighway. They have a sale once or twice a year, so ask them when to get the best prices.

For furniture, I can only add SB Furniture inside most Home Pros. All the other usual suspects have been mentioned.

Google Mac Cafe on the road to the zoo past Maya.

Will do, cheers.

I used the official Apple repair centre in Kad Suan Kaew to replace the battery on my wife's Mac book pro and they did a good job - can be a touch slow and expensive as they order in official Apple parts from Singapore but they are happy to recommend cheaper alternatives

Many thanks for your recommendation.

Morning all.

I need to get the CD/DVD drive fixed on my Mac Mini. Can anyone recommend a good repair shop?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, no mention of the fact that the pregnant woman was with another lady who after the initial argument slammed her car door into the car of the navy lady again.

Also doesn't mention that the woman who was on her own was knocked to the floor by the pregnant woman and/or her friend.

Funny that.

Read the eyewitness report in Thai, watch the video and then make comments like this when you know the facts. People who liked this comment should be ashamed of themselves.

The pregnant woman wash shoved to the floor by the navy woman. The pregnant woman then told her she shouldn't have done that because she's pregnant. Once the navy woman heard this, she proceed to kick her in the stomach which caused bleeding and a trip to the hospital for the pregnant woman. Try to condone that (trying to harm an unborn child) if you can.

The navy woman slipped over when attempting to kick the pregnant woman who was on the floor.

Thankfully this story has finally made the news (it's a few days old) as the navy woman's husband threatened everybody concerned that there would be trouble if the story got out.

Where did you hear the eye witness story? and the video from what i can gather doesn't show everything that happens is the camera is not trained on the exact spot where the incident happened.

If she did indeed kick the pregnant lady in the stomach and the witness testifies to that then she should go down for the maximum 2 year tariff they have for assault. I mean it is actually evil to do such a thing. How is it any different to kicking a baby on the ground? The admiral's wife better start sweating because i doubt this thing is wrapping up. Thai social media is getting super powerful now

Apologies for the typos in my original post. Also, having re-read the original account, I got one thing wrong - the pregnant woman was pushed and shoved, but not to the ground. The navy woman slipped over when attempting to kick the pregnant woman in the stomach when she was still standing (after she had been told she was pregnant).

I read the eyewitness account on the Pantip website which had copied a post from Facebook.

Can the above be done in Thailand?

My wife and I got married in the UK earlier this year and have since returned to Thailand. She wants to get her surname changed to mine on her passport and ID card. She needs to get the marriage certificate legalised in order to do this (along with a lawyer's letter). I am aware I can get it done in the UK via the post, but was wondering if it can be done in Bangkok? Does anyone have experience/knowledge of this? I have called various agencies, but have yet to get a definitive answer.

Thanks in advance

My Thai wife and I recently got married in the UK (I'm British). We will be returning to live in Thailand very soon and my wife will want to use my surname.

We have contacted the Thai embassy in London to find out what documentation we need to do this (including a translation of the marriage certificate into Thai and copies of documents legalized by the FCO), and it seemed quite expensive just to get a few pages officially authorized to take back to Thailand.

I was wondering if anyone else has had experience doing this and if we can just wait until we get back to Thailand to do translations get all the necessary paperwork which will surely be much cheaper.

Thanks in advance for any relevant experience or information you can share.

You should be able to find a list/map of new housing developments in one of the Chiang Mai property magazines on sale in most 7-11s. That's where I looked.

I have a golf club travel bag that I use when I take my clubs on a flight which protects them better than a plastic wrap. If you don't have one, then I recommend putting head covers on ALL of your clubs before using the plastic wrapping at the airport.

As for the baggage charge, you should check on the Thai Airways website. The last time I flew was with Emirates and there was no extra charge for golf clubs. I'm flying with BA next month back to the UK and there's an extra charge for my clubs with the ticket I bought.

(2 "rounds" at HD being 18 holes)

@Sticklee - cheers for the info. I'll check that link out.

@LarryBird - I played there last Friday and it was in okay condition. The tee boxes have never been great, but the fairways and greens are pretty good considering the price. It's 200 baht for 9 holes and 380 for 2 rounds. You can rent golf carts, but I'm not sure how much they are. Organization on the first tee is pretty non-existent and can be chaotic at times. It's best to get there either very early or just after lunch.

Many thanks for that Thailand. I guess there's no hope that HD will get a rating then!

It looks like I'll have to play on a full course - Highlands/Green Valley or the like - to be able to get a more accurate assessment of my handicap.

Price wise by far the best deals are currently at Inthanon & Gold Canyon both full 18 hole courses.

Thanks for the heads up. I've got a week off so I'll try and play one of them.

That's true, Thailand. The slope and course rating is available for CM Gymkhana club, however, and that's a similar course in terms of size.

The reason I ask is that I regularly play HD and am trying do get an accurate, albeit unofficial handicap figure.

I'm guessing HD plays a shot or two harder than Gymkhana.

Not sure if this is any help or not but I'm having a house built myself and want to install a sprinkler system. I came across a company called Lanna Sprinklers (Google it and you'll get their Facebook page). I have yet to get in touch with them myself, but they may be able to help you. Just a thought.

...does anyone know its slope & course rating? I haven't been able to find it and they don't know at the course itself!

Well played Phil Mickleson, very well deserved winner .......loads of bottle

Truly well deserved. Good on you, Phil!

And.......KAAAA CHIIINNNNGGGG!!!!

Good stuff ForeThat. Did you get those odds before or after The Scottish Open?

Mickelson is the first golfer in history to win the Scottish Open and The Open in the same year.

He now has three of the four legs required for being only the fifth golfer ever to win all four majors at least once. Just needs to hit on the US Open.

Sir Nick Faldo was the last Brit to win in 1992.

Wish I could have seen it.

I think he'd be the sixth - the other five being Sarazen, Hogan, Player, Nicklaus & Woods.

Hats off to Phil - what a back nine he played! Feel bad for Lee - as he said himself, the wheels came of when he found sand on 7,8 & 9.

it was closed and cleared sometime before 13 june 13 and ive no idea where they went

the best dvd film / music video rental shop i know of is near the end of wing 41 road by the traffic lights

here ya go

Cheers Dave - I'll check it out.

...has it closed down or relocated?

I went there a week or so ago and it was empty. There was no sign in the window saying what had happened, so I was wondering if any CMTVers know what has happened to it.

I've been looking around the new developments and have found the fees vary from 8 to 20 baht per square wah.
