Not his best day then.

Spent the long weekend in Songkhla Town. Two restaurants were worth a mention, both in the old town area where we stayed. Lyn's The Shanghai Cafe (Phone: 0832439977) (7.196540, 100.589431) In the heart of the old town on Nakhonnai Street. Coffee shop, cafe restaurant and bar, with options to eat in or out in the courtyard. An impressive and comprehensive menu, combining both Thai and European favourites together with many vegetarian options and a good desserts menu too. Service was attentive and the food excellent, no complaints. There were six of us ordering a mix of Thai and Western mains, total cost including desserts, fancy smoothies and frappes, plus a couple of beers was under Bht2,000. Cafe Der See Nakornnok (Phone: 074898595) (7.197094, 100.588834) On Nakornnok Street, the one nearest the lake in the old town, opposite the Nakhon Nai Museum. Coffee and cake shop at the front, Thai restaurant at the back with a deck area out onto Lake Songkhla, a pleasant spot to watch the sunset. Fairly standard Thai menu with an emphasis on the local seafood, plus a handful of European dishes, desserts offer cakes, ice creams and sundaes. We had a mix of Thai dishes fish, squid, soft crab, mussels, a tom yam and a papaya salad, plus desserts, smoothies and beers. Total for six was around Bht1,500. Service was good, they were busy but still managed to get the food out in an orderly and timely fashion. Food was excellent, portions not huge but a reasonable size, so no one went hungry. Nice restaurant with a calming relaxed atmosphere. .

He fell out of the tree. Police should ask the gardener what he did with the high end camera he found near the body.

As trends go, not one to fill you with confidence.

I had issue with my Dell laptop and battery running down, it was USB port still providing power after shutdown. There's an option called PowerShare in the Bios which you can check to see if present in your model and if enabled or disabled.

The law says only Thai citizens over the age of 20 can grow cannabis.

You beat me to it!

Indeed, he has a reading handicap. .

The currency being received.

Not needed. My brother pays in my dividend cheques to the Nationwide (I know I've tried getting them to pay direct but that's another story) he just fills out the paying in slip, writes the account number on the back of the cheque, and hands it to the cashier. There is an option to mail a cheque in for payment, you need to complete the paying in form on the website. There isn't an option in the Nationwide app for paying in a cheque AFAIK. .

At least the wrote is as Expat, what makes my <deleted> boil are people who hyphenate the word as Ex-pat - what the hell is that a former Irishman?

KL is actually good for a night out. There's no shortage of pubs and bars in KL, and no restrictions on the sale of alcohol; no silly ban on sales between 2 and 5pm. As for hookers they not difficult to find either. Having lived and worked in Malaysia 3 years, and worked in Indonesia for 8, no one has ever asked my opinion on Islam or the Prophet.

You forget to take your meds this morning?

Let's not put the cart before the horse! Thailand desperately needs a modern twin track railway line from Bangkok to the Malaysian border. The line from Singapore to Padang Basar is now twin track with overhead electrics. North of the border it's still the original 1920 single track with passing points and diesel. Some 10% of Thailand's trade is with Malaysia, most of that currently goes by road. .

It's generally prudent to have several options available. I have two bank accounts in the UK, two in Thailand, and one in Singapore. As granny said, "don't put all your eggs in one basket".

If I'm dealing with banks or anyone in the UK I use Skype, which is far cheaper and doesn't time out - 1.8p/min landline, 7.7p/min mobile. Just buy Skype credits (avoid the 'recommended' subscription) and simply pay as you go.

On my last trip up to Bangkok a couple of weeks back, I found wearing a mask meant taxi and tuk-tuk touts ignored me, ditto street hawkers and general urchins. I guess a farang with a mask on is judged as being local and not a gullible tourist. Everyone is still wearing them down in Hat Yai including the Malaysian tourists, not something I have a problem with. I fail to understand all the wailing and gnashing of teeth this subject generates.

Very seldom much cooler than 23°C here at night. The question here, is not "do I need a jumper", but rather "do I need an umbrella".

Did you never run away from home as a kid? I certainly did, on more than one occasion. I got as far as the railway station once when I was about nine. I didn't have enough money for a ticket, but a nice policeman called my mother.

Why? It's not especially rare, I've worked on many gold projects with considerable silver resources, most of them stay in the ground unless the gold grades are economic. If the silver price were to rise significantly, plenty of new production would soon see its value fall again.
