  1. You supplied a much better video and link than I got from Thai Visa earlier.... glad I watched more of it as it got to be more fun after 3 minutes. Who knows... I still remember a normally quiet girl behind the bar at Daves GB Bar on the Beach Rd, exploding at a drunken Arab customer in the wee hours and I helped him gently to move on. I think he had slapped her.
  2. Incredible bargain. I bet you would pay that much and more in 'taxes' for a 'free' airmiles ticket in Biz! Just checked, my one way was £176 in taxes!
  3. Well immigration and baggage reclaim may slow if an A380 came in! Hopefully I will be dropped at the gate and not at the end of that runway. It;s all about the trip home for me, Hwy 7, or 331 and Hwy 36 (death alley). For those in Central Pattaya it is Sukhumvit or Sukhumvit... If they do decide on another tunnel that may be prohibitive.
  4. I am trying to use the Iplayer from within my browser, haven't had much success with the Add On one for Kodi. (It should automatically update).I don;t have any Android box.. no room under my TV! Am very much enjoying 'Breaking Bad' now.
  5. The Ipcress File
  6. Yes, so you can arrive at another set! I haven't been through this junction since pre-Songkran, my last few trips preferring to take on North Rd and 3rd. When it is fully open,, I will be hoping to turn right and left off/onto Sukhumvit and Klang efficiently without waiting 10 minutes having my head broiled in my helmet. At this point I can see it being difficult for me, for example, to wend my way over to the right, after turning off Klang, onto Sukhumvit heading North, and getting across a snake of traffic from the tunnel to get to the motorway entrance flyover. Me and many I suspect. Thai driving is not known for giving way or leaving much space between yourself and the car in front. Nevertheless I look forward to the day this thread becomes redundant.
  7. 2500 baht now, Key Visa
  8. Interesting alternative.....
  9. Get Carter
  10. BBC IPlayer is getting difficult, it is able to recognize I am out of the UK, despite my using a VPN and UK 'resident' server. Yes I have 'cleared the 'cookies'. I am actually just trying to watch their video clips of the snooker. Season 1, Episodes 1-3 appear to be available with Kodi.
  11. My situation is similar and I took it that way. Until they tell me otherwise...... I always felt putting my full address on my Arrival TM6 covered me.
  12. Where did the rain go? Dammit I am going to have to top off the pool with expensive City water again!

  13. Sorry to read that, but he only lost 3 baht. (Again apologies, I guess a typo and should read 3,000 baht!) Yes drunken thugs and pickpockets is Songkran in Pattaya, an old misery I might be, but I stay home! Disgusting that a CC issued from an overseas bank, in the name of say Joe Smith, can be used multiple times by an obvious Somchai!
  14. I was under the impression the famous Tom Yum khung did not contain coconut milk...... Tom yum goong nam sai is non creamy. Tom yum goong nam khon is creamy, but that is done adding evaporated milk, not coconut milk. Here is a recipe. Coconut milk is used a lot in Southern curries, Penang Curry and Masuman (which I always call mama-san to annoy the Mrs) for example.

  16. Try this.... .......https://youtu.be/tStMlfgVu8Y Dodge the preceding full stops.

  18. Useful post and thanks, Glad to read that I don't have to report myself in my own house...... I was delinquent when I had a friend or relative stay in the past though.
  19. Although the one at B13,860,000 is a little rich for me.
  20. Wrong, that was John Belushi. Pay attention... (He died in 1982, long before The Ghost Writer was released, in 2010) Back to James Belushi, went by Jim too!
  21. Thanks... had a quick look but missed it. (I am just out of the yellow area)
  22. You say delivery (free) is from Sukhumvit to Bira, but do you mean say within a triangle bounded by Bira, Rt 36, and Sukhumvit (where they meet) and as far South as say Soi Siam CC or more on the South and Nongprue?
  23. James Belushi
  24. Ewan McGregor
  25. This type of occurrence was when I stopped attending Pattaya Songkran. For me it was the sight of a gang of very drunk Thai youths chasing their own in Pattaya and setting upon them brutally with sticks... No thanks..... Nigerian man beaten after giving the middle finger in Pattaya. Thai Visa (originally in Thai)
