Terminal 21, this afternoon.

I finally got around to working out how to add a soundtrack to a YT video. It's actually quite easy. Just use YT's video editor, click on Audio and do a search through their royalty free audio library for a track that you think fits the mood of the video. With the track added, and assuming it runs longer than the video, adjust the start point of the audio so the end of the track coincides with the end of the video for a nice fade out of the music. Next up, improve my editing skills. Shorter segments are better, and keep the video length down to a minimum.

We ventured into the abyss on NYE for a change. Stayed in the OZO hotel only place I could find through some connections at a late notice. Quite enjoyed it but that’s it for a couple of years it’s amazing how many people actually flock here I think it’s got to be one of the busiest places on the planet.

Got the drone out for an overhead view of the Countdown 2025 stage this morning.

Anyone lost their phone? 😆

Found them.... in the tall cabinet fridges near all the frozen stuff. Damned supermarkets moving stuff about. Now a nice big Cornish pasty planned for lunch tomorrow. Just what a growing man needs.. growing old and fat that is.

Out and about in Naklua.

Superhacker’s Arrest in Singapore Raises Uncomfortable Questions for the City-State Before he was arrested this month for allegedly running what’s likely the world’s largest cybercrime computer network, Wang YunHe enjoyed a lavish lifestyle in Singapore.

This place on soi 15 has been closed down... by a court order from the USA, stamped a certified copy by a Mr O'Toole. If it was the 1st April I would find it more credible. Said notice on the door... what on Earth is going on and how does this jurisdiction extend so far? The little kiosk massage places one sees in the Avenue....my mind is like a sewer, but I have often wondered whether the curtain ever gets pulled across fully! As all know, one of my major hates. This is the pavement on Sai 2, wow, a pedestrian pavement! And no food carts i

Greetings Monkeywatchers, showaddy crap for the last time this year, and welcome to our special Christmas edition – which means it’s the same as all the others. Or maybe even worse. Following the recent weather, it’s been decided that Thailand’s rainy season will in future run from May to April. Perhaps Pattaya should consider a similar extension to its low season.

Monster Aquarium.

China Eastern Jacko who I have flown before Lovely seating 33" in economy no stupid underseat AVOD boxes either Transit in Pudong Shanghai 2 hours 10 minutes "Air time" is the same as say Malaysian or Cathay from Bangkok to or fro London so not excessive

Seeing shit like this makes me wonder if one of the requirements to be a sparky in Thailand is to have most of one's brains removed. Same for the supervisors that should be inspecting and red flagging hazards like this. If it's raining out, always, always give any kind of metal utility pole a wide berth.

From Soi 6 to another bar.

Since I had the drone out this morning, thought it'd be a good opportunity to get some shots of the large construction site on Pattaya Tai up near Sukhumvit.

I'm actually in the accomodation in above post now Has to rank as the biggest shithole I have ever dropped anchor in I wouldnt even know where to start but its mid winter minus 3 outside and this in photo is the heating provided....its a family room "upgrade" and woke at 1am its so cold inside Wifi you get 30 minutes and then have to pay (not joking) The approach road to the property has no pavement. You're literally walking in the road full of potholes (and ice) TV is something out of the ark must be about 19" tops I could go on for an hour......wait to the fuc**

AQI 23 - 25

I flew with them last year . It wasnt all bad but I would rather not use them again if I had a choice. The stop-over in Pudong was boring and a cup of coffee reqired a second mortgage, One thing that was a pain after a long flight to get there was the combined layover and the time to fly to Bangkok. The time seemed endless. There are simply better options but the price is great assuming that you have easy access to the airport where your home airport is.

A significant improvement today.

Just had a look at pricing on my flights this weekend back out with scheduled return end of March and its £484 I paid £404 back when I booked it in November Plenty of value about still

Yes mate. I was replying to a question the guy asked 5 months later than the pic was posted. The funny was posted 5 months ago, but the guy asked about it a few days ago.

Looking towards Naklua Bay. Panoramic Shot. This one was taken from my balcony. Walking distance to Terminal 21 is just over 1KM. View towards Bangkok Hospital.

OHH . I of course read about the sniper shooting at Trump and thought what a shame he was such a poor shot, but what on earth has that to do with the IRS?.

Not being an American ,what am I missing?.

Interesting re Agoda I had to come back for 2 weeks and back out on 11th January Because of where I live in the UK and the ability to get to Gatwick (a rare occurence) and an early flight I looked at getting a hotel at Gatwick for evening of the 10th initally I looked at Agoda without being logged in.....£55 (very fair) for the one I wanted Logged in few hours later to book it and status is high (usual agoda I thought bollacks) but now the price dropped to £51....now they have thrown in free breakfast AND upgraded me to a family room ! Fair play indeed

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Cats have it in for us, the little nihilistic bastards.

Rather a lot to wade through. Taken at the Naklua Night Walk to Eat Market.

Pretty sure I have been asked to rate hotels after an Agoda stay...always thought it was an average of those rather than rating on facilities for their system.
