  1. Try this Gps To SK Garden Restaurant. https://maps.google....17&source=embed

    This GPS address is better than the last one. As you can see in a couple of pics below everybody loved our great western/Indian foods at 99 baht/Breakfasts and much more @ 99 baht.

    I thought this thread was about canned curries.

  2. Just before the border crossing on the left hand side. Secure parking. 100bt per night, I think.

    Not so sure about secure parking, but there is a large car park on the left side just as you enter the Freedom Bridge. Last time we went over to Vientiane we left our rental bike there, never had a problem.

    Well it's secure as in a private company is running it as a business. Fenced off. No marines or armed guards wink.png

  3. 19k for window tint = you got stooged.

    For me, 2012 Ford Ranger 2.2 manual, I get 820km range from the 80lt tank.

    Where are you driving? Could the auto actually be more efficient than the manual?

    I have the Ranger 2.2 XLT/AT and just passed the 15,000km service. The automatic fuel economy calculator is a tad disappointing at 9.2l/100km since it includes several longer distance thrashes between Udon and Bangkok/Pattaya and back but there is a lot of tootling around in Muang Udon's abysmal traffic. I have just reset the calculator so I will see how she fares over the next 15,000km.... and keep a manual record as well!

    Sent from the Back 'o Bennachie with an Asus eePad Transformer TF201 thingumabob.

    I usually get about 8.9lt/100km around Chiang Mai. That's a mixture of rural roads & superhighway, not much city centre, but lots of slowing & accelerating. On a longer run to Mae Sai from Chiang Mai, over the hills, but keeping a decent speed, I think I got 7.7lt/100km. Same truck as NanLaew. I do tend to be a bit heavy footed.

  4. i have been off Strawberries ever since I asked the man that

    was emptying our cess pit where do you dump that stuff,?

    The answer was Strawberry Fields forever,

    So make sure you give them a good washing before you eat

    them.

    Regards Worgeordie

    you mean they spray the whole dump truck at the field ? crazy.gif

    Seen them pumping the contents of tanker onto the ground surrounding lamyai trees.

  5. A good supermarket, but their feedback system seems to not work. Encouraging it, i have twice asked them to consider putting country of origin information on imported produce, but without any reply or action.

    MIght not seem like a big deal to some, but with the huge amount of GM foods and ingredients in the US many people want to avoid buying produce from that country. They have a feedback system in place, but don't seem to respond to it. Pity. But that said, kudos to their business ethic in general.

    I would like to see the ingredients in English. But then again I am in Thailand. I am quite sure if I was to take the misses to visit in North America they would be in English not Thai.

    What gets me is when they have a product with English on it and there is some thing in Thai pasted over it.

    That bugs me. Why not put the sticker elsewhere.....

  6. I'm happy with TOT. I live out in the sticks & get 3MBs. The engineer came out to the house to test the line. He measured 4 MBs. He recommended not to try a faster package, as our line / location couldn't handle it, allowing the extra 1MBs to ensure a better connection.

  7. does this thread have to get a mention every time it rains.

    I forgot, what was the name of this topic? Oh yeah, Rain.

    Just think, only a few months to go and I will be starting a new 2013 Smog, Smoke and Dust topic. Maybe that will make you happy. wink.png

    Rice harvest finished, burning begun. but we've had a small shower smile.png

  8. Apropos of nothing much, I've always believed that the Mae-Jo/Chiang-Mai/Hang-Dong side of the plain is wetter, than Mae-Jo/Doi-Saket/Sankamphaeng, would other local TV-members concur ?

    I live south of SK, definitely seems like a rain shadow most times sad.png I keep an eye on the radar site daily.
