I have to say the Burmese community here, are all so friendly and helpful....

 

 

 

 

[samuijimmy]

Looks like money laundering !

 

 

[samuijimmy]

I am off to over there! Koh Phangan.

 

[samuijimmy]

Ferry boat back from Koh Phangan, only 45 minutes late!!

 

 

Koh Mah, NW KP

 

 

West coast Koh Phangan ....  tides are very low during summer months.

 

 

[samuijimmy]

Flashy sun brella!

West end of Maenam beach, Samui...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[samuijimmy]

What a difference a day makes.... but at least it's not so hot!

Dogs and Aussie man on the beach!

 

 

 

[samuijimmy]

Trying my luck at fishing, but no luck at all (as usual)

 

 

Just sea week getting the hook!

 

[samuijimmy]

My garden, getting a little neglected with my back problems...

 

 

[samuijimmy]

I checked out Ban Tai beach on Samui today... not a sole in sight!

 

 

[samuijimmy]

Test!

Images would not load last night but now seems OK....

 

[samuijimmy]

waiting for the sunset Nathon Samui (could not get this to load last night)

 

 

[samuijimmy]

Wedding party about to get wet!

 

[samuijimmy]

Last few weeks have not been good with my  back and leg problems ...so not out as much as I would like to be...

 

I am also going to step down as Moderator... it's been an interesting experience ( sometimes!!!)  ... Ron has been a tremendous help... Thanks Ron! 

 

It's just too many hours of sitting which does me in more than anything else!

 

I'll continue to contribute, but perhaps not quite so much at least for a while. .... will see how things go!

 

Thanks to all for help and support....

 

Jim

 

Cone of weeds!

 

 

Even my garden is not getting all the help it needs... it's a good thing  I got this planted last year

 

 

 

Papaya planted last August from seed now producing... (except the one that drowned in the winter rains.... )

Thanks Samuijimmy for your moderating and pics. Hope life will be a bit more kinder on your back and legs.

Hang in there, and yes please do keep on contributing ! 

[Ron19]

I'll keep your seat warm for you.

[Tarteso]

Hope you recover soon [emoji6]

Samuijimmy you are an enigma !!
I continue to struggle to view your photos !!, much the pity !
I can't see any photo after #365 except for the last 3 photos ( cone of weeds etc ) which I could see yesterday but not today !!, hence I assume that the problem is my end.

For example, on the July 2017 Photography competition yours is the only photo I can't see !

Anyway, despite this problem, I still enjoy your photos and hope you continue to post for a long time to come, and when I resolve my viewing issue I will have a lot to catch up on [emoji4]

I thought all this was sorted... I checked on my Samsung phone this afternoon and not all images are showing, so not just you Andrew!  It seems to depend on Browser too I think...(?)

 

Ron will have to report the issue(s) again.... since I can't communicate with "the gods" anymore! ....

Perhaps you could mention which browser you are using... it might help!

I'm on an iPhone jimmy using the TVConnect app.
I get exactly the same result on Tapatalk app ( I.e. nothing shows after #365 )

But, lo and behold !!, on Thaivisa.com on the safari browser ( iPhone standard browser ) everything shows !!

I don't use Thaivisa.com on my iPhone because it's the mobile ( celular) web version and not as easy to navigate as the apps.

So, it would appear it's a problem with the apps, or more likely the Connect app as Tapatalk just reproduces the Connect app in a slightly different format ( I think ).

Anyway, enough of my rambling, hope it helps .

Jimmy, you photos are shown via the https-pdf page in ThaiVisa, working as a proxy (for non secured http-images), and linking to the image source using your Google URL-address. Requesting the Google URL-address direct in a browser result a 404-error is shown – I have tested with Google Chrome; Internet Explorer and Opera (using VPN, i.e. a Dutch IP-address, outside of Thailand). The images must have worked when you uploaded them to ThaiVisa forum; and when stored in a cache somewhere, they will continue to show, even the original Google URL-address is not working. However, when the cache with images are cleared, and if Google still show 404-error, the image will disappear. New visitors to the page, where a cached image may not exist, cannot see the image. I believe we experienced kind of same fault some moth ago with your Google-stored images...

Well for the most part since a month or two back, there have been few reports of viewing problems.... Seems it's back to needing sorting again...

 

Ron is going to report the issues...we'll just have to wait and see what happens.... and hope it gets fixed properly this time.

Jim,
Before I report this, can you tell me are the ones not showing large images ie from lightroom ?
The reason I ask this is that when I click on them they go way past the 100% mark then stop, showing nothing.

Last lot of photos taken with Samsung Phone, (all on this page (26) have no Light room editing... they automatically load to Google Photos... I copy link from there and post with URL method. Same as before!

 

 

[samuijimmy]

A few shots from today...

 

I have mentored this kid, now 19 since he was 10 years old... He's always been a hard worker...

 

Today he dug this whole area and ended up sowing seed... His one day off from his tour guide work...

Gala Apple... shooting up from seed...I not sure it will grow into a tree, but he's determined to try...

 

 

I wish I still had the energy to dig all this!..and sow the seed!
