Apocalypse Now

I believe the ban on non-residents was overturned... there were a lot of Thai tourists inconvenienced! Afraid I can't help further, last time I took my truck over there is ancient history.

You could park the truck right nearby, throw down the tailgate and have a bit of a party. Although I did get told I wasn't permitted to tie my hammock up there. A lot of these old pleasures are no more.

I have used my local driving licence to cover that, not sure if your friend will get one of those.

Now now atlas, we all know multiple orgasms is a dastardly fabriacation by females used to manipulate males, like PMS is.

I think what you suggest Butch covers the best options. I used to live down Soi Siam CC but certainly nowhere near as far as the lake. Getting back and forth without your own transport is a pain, even more-so at the moment as the road is closed! It should get easier to get across Sukhumvit soon as the tunnel construction is nearing completion. As to my case my Mrs would come get me sometimes in my truck...... earlier days it was on the back of her bike, now that was dodgy and we stopped doing it. I would also sometimes get a baht bus to the end of Klang, use the pedestrian crossing, and swap to a M/C taxi at the end of Nerm Plab Wan. I don't speak much Thai but enough to tell them where I wanted to go, how far, and left here, straight etc etc. There is also the option of having the 'Grab' App on a smart phone. (oops sorry Baz, you mentioned that) To be honest, living out there is a pain if you want to spend time in town.

Yes I think so.... or at least the fast flash-bys you get as you wander around. The old guy smoking a cigarette looks very much like a friend of mine.

I liked the video. It isn't a Chang beer advert by any chance?

Yes, my tongue is cheek comment not far off the mark.

I guess the original fare is £20 + £379 in taxes!

Was in there a few nights ago and not overly impressed. Firstly where I was sat I couldn't see any mention of 'specials' and only saw whatever was on the menu to pick from. Rather a limited menu in my mind with a few too many 'standards' on it. Tempted to have a steak but at the price I was concerned whether that would be cooked properly in a pub type environment. Ended up having a lamb burger which was quite good, good chips and well presented. No pics as I don't want to be confused with any food critics. Intrusive entertainment with some guy dressed up like Axel Rose on a bender, yet doing soft rock. Place nearly empty while everywhere nearby was packed!

I have to say my 'wifey' doesn't inquire along those lines!

Mid July, it is actually an awards ticket.

I have a booking with Qatar in the summer and I just received an email sayng the Doho-Bangkok leg was leaving 15 minutes earlier,. That had me worried as the connection was only about 55 mins anyhow. Looking into it I saw my landing in Doha would be 20 minutes sooner....huh how did they do that? Aircraft change, QR028 will be using the Dreamliner. Actually pleased to be trying out the 787 as I haven't yet flown on one. Wish they would change the Doha-Bangkok flight to an A380 instead of that noisy cart, the 777ER.

I was expecting that......... Olin Howland........ did I break the rules by searching my own old posts?????

Don't all the Add-Ons... As much as I appreciate Fireman Sam's input above I must admit that it caused me to 'waste' several hours yesterday trying to get some of these Add-Ons loaded onto my PC and pad. Kodi is 'pernickety'.....

The coolest guy ever.... Steve McQueen.

Not the sort of guy to take the piss out of!

Ones that wanted to keep the bail bond???
