  1. I was expecting the Super Sleuths of this forum to quickly identify the location of this hotel and give a very good idea of which hotel it happened at.
  2. I have lived in the Dusit area, Sukhumvit Soi 10, Kasetsart University area, and Samut Prakan but just a few metres from Bangkok. I have actually liked all the places that I have lived for different reasons. They all had their pluses and minuses. Overall, I now prefer the suburbs to the CBD.
  3. I had heard about this earlier when it first hit the news. A terrible and tragic end to this young student. I feel very sorry for his family in Thailand. May he RIP.
  4. Not sure what motivated him to return to Thailand. He's most likely regretting that decision right now.
  5. No, those are the only groups that frequent Thailand. Like the Russians, the rest should all be granted 90 day visa exempt/on arrival. (sarcasm intended)
  6. Would be great if this were to be extended to the European Union countries as well as the UK, USA, Australia, & New Zealand.
  7. Contact spiceroads.com as I believe they have an office in Chiang Mai. They are based out of Bangkok but have done a lot of tours of all types in the Chiang Mai area.
  8. He should stick to sailing the seas and not driving on the roads.
  9. Probably Laos. Maybe Cambodia or Vietnam. No plans to live in Thailand fulltime anyway. Been there, done that with work for a number of years.
  10. Rest in peace, sir. You were one of the best to ever represent the English team.
  11. I doubt Putin will actually make a visit to Thailand. He would be too worried about a coup being staged while he was gone.
  12. It definitely begins soon after the rains end in November and just gets worse. There is always a certain level of smog and air pollution year around. Some months are just worse than others.
  13. They were definitely burning their fields back in the pre-Skytrain days too. Diesel vehicle pollution is still a problem both in Bangkok and elsewhere.
  14. I'm all for it! Let the bars stay open until 4am or even 6am. I'm not the big late night party guy anymore. Don't go out to the farang bar areas that much either but when I do I'm usually home by midnight. It won't really affect me that much.
  15. I biked from Surat Thani down the east coast to the border. Then came back up along the west coast to Phuket. That was in late May first part of June in 1999. I was quite familiar with the south of Thailand and the issues going on down there but never had or saw any problems. You could also check out crazyguyonabike.com: Bicycle Touring: A place for bicycle tourists and their journals where there are a lot of journals of people's trips. They have a search function that helps a lot. I also second the idea of looking at Youtube for some other opinions.
  16. The air quality in Thailand, and Bangkok in particular, has always been bad. It was like this back in the 80's and continues to this day. I notice it most on return flights to Bangkok when you begin descending into the haze during the daylight hours.
  17. Why of course the Thai government would remain neutral. To take a position and pledge your support to one of the groups would require some backbone to stand up to the criticism that would surely follow.
  18. I did this once about five years ago. I was up in Chiang Rai so I just went north and crossed into Laos. Spent about an hour there and then came back and got another 30 days.
  19. Well since it happened in Thailand I would go with Thai law. Would there be any other law?
