water is probably as good as it's going to get right now. jump in.

Joe not sure what you mean by bonus (dtac) but you can pay dtac (happy).

if you buy a 500thb top up card, dtac used to give free 50thb, now i think it is 30thb. may not be much but you don't get anything with lower denominations, or other service providers afaik.

do you still get the bonus? (dtac)

yeah i suspect they would all be thrown away. i think i'd appreciate the effort if someone actually tried to forward my mail however so i'd at least like to see if there is a simple way to do it. i'm not sure it's a good idea to post the name here, don't know if forum rules or etiquette allow it.

does anyone here get junk mail from the UK?

we've been getting envelopes from the UK addressed to an individual with a "western" name and i'd like to find a way to forward them to the correct person, or at least make them stop.

back home it's as easy as writing "return to sender" "no longer at this address" etc. on the envelope and giving back to the post office but i don't think they'd go through the trouble of sending something back to the UK for free.

apart from just throwing them away or spending money to send what may or may not be junk mail to the UK, is there any correct local procedure for reuniting this person with their mail?

we usually use nathon for seafood. on the one way stretch of "beach" road many times you can buy directly from the fisherman's wives as the catch is being brought up from the boats. that bang rak market is convenient but the stench can be overpowering.

i do get a laugh out of people sticking up for home intruders. strange bunch for sure.

Tony Martin. He shot someone who had repeatedly birgled his house in the back.

Exactly. He shot him in the back. The British law is that you can use reasonable force and, thankfully, shooting people in the back is not considered to be reasonable force.

most sucker punches and cheap shots happen when they turn their back to give you the impression that they are disengaging.

not saying that's what happened in that burglary case, but hey you're in my house xxxxxxxxx and i sure as hell didn't invite you in here while i was sleeping. got what he deserved imo. darwin has a lot more awards to give out, it's unfortunate that countries like england try and shackle him, he should be handing them out faster.

Anyone for a game of frisbee?

sure, as long as we can gamble on it.

school isn't cheap!

hey Rooo i've got a full time engineer on my staff who can repair most engines and generators.

lol@soccer. yes, it is baffling and irritating.

Shame on you, it's Footbon

sa-occew!

i'm going to get on those dam_n thai's now for calling the worlds most popular drink "naam"

baffling i tell you!

The title of this topic sucked me in... I was expecting a story about a bunch of drunk farangs throwing chairs and bottles and busting the place up!

most of them are soccer fans so it would be a lot of diving and acting

Bringing your wife to Lamai....lol....maybe Choeng Mon or Bophut FV would be a better choice...certainly Choeng Mon beach is 'cleaner' in every sense....

Edit: o before e except after......

that's like bringing sand to the beach

convenient, necessary and very well located.

if only it were a row of shop houses!

takes a massive amount of time to learn a proper submission skillset, transitions from one submission to another.

takes about 6 months to learn how to defend against all of them in an mma match.

koh phangam? jim bean?

interesting, i didn't realize that we now have 3 international schools on samui. fwiw i've spent the last week reviewing and visiting all of the local school options and very happily placed 2 of my children into one of the schools mentioned above. only disappointed that they can't yet provide anything after "primary 5" (10-11 yrs old?)

I dunno what he's complaining about really...most of us would be flattered to have a supermarket (albeit a crap one) named after us.

Kum and Go?

Is that a new drive thru place?

it is in fact a completely legit regional gas station and convenience store in the US, i kid you not.

home pro has been selling very small chainsaws for a while now. probably around 5-6k baht. based on the size and price i'd expect them to be about the quality of a disposable razor blade.

any updates on the road condition? open to cars/trucks yet?

the iphone lock is useless when stolen. phone will simply be restored and a new sim card installed in a matter of minutes.

one good reason to wear a helmet, it will help deflect the trash that the locals throw out of their vehicles while driving.
