  1. Me too, and I don't really use other boards. unless it was linked on Stickman or Thai Visa.
  2. It looks very similar to the one I posted!
  3. Well the warnings are out again...... 32 provinces on alert for Storm Mujigae BANGKOK, 3 October 2015 (NNT) – The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) has instructed its local units in 32 risk-prone provinces to be prepared for relief operations as Storm Mujigae is likely to bring stormy weather to the upper part of the country. Director-General Chatchai Promlert disclosed that Tropical Storm Mujigae would grip the upper North, Northeast and East between 4 and 6 October. Provincial relief offices are closely monitoring disaster-prone areas in 32 provinces and get ready for relief operations, as the storm might trigger flashfloods and mudslide. Watch it here.
  4. I had one removed at the place on 2nd Rd and soi 6. It was very well handled. This was an upper one which may well be easier to do.
  5. I got it on my phone ready for that day my Mrs says make your own way home! I too would like to know, since Pattaya taxis refuse to use their meters will they also baulk at a pre-defined price from this App.
  6. At 60 years old I am not sure a lifetime guarantee for half a million baht suitcase is going to sway me. There is a second hand shop across Hwy 36 where Japanese leftovers are brought by containers, I think I will shop there first. $13,000 for a suitcase, in Pattaya!
  7. Here too, just got serious. Watching my pool boy vacuuming while wearing one of those waterproof hooded things, looks like a big green condom running around.
  8. Just a bit of spitting started here (North of town) but heavy, dark looking skies. Temperature has dropped too which normally indicates something heavier....
  9. Looks like there is a bit of one in the Bangkok area right now..... Link
  10. Yes, I do. I might be concerned on a non-secure wireless connection, or some public type place. I would not use someone else's, or a public use computer. You could install a VPN on your own computer.
  11. Rather basic, no place to put a beer down.
  12. If you have an old style analogue watch with a date window, don't forget to crank it on +1

  13. I leave that to the little fellas, geckos. These leave long shit stains down the walls, apart from the noise. I can live without them.
  14. Yeah, they are the ones The Scorpion Lady has all over her at the Khon Khiao open zoo. I found a dead small scorpion in my water bucket the other day, first one I have ever seen.
  15. Caught this chap this morning, he wasn't keen on it, particularly as he came looking for the noisy female in my roof that is far to wily for me. This fellow will re relocated a few Km away later. They appear to be able to change their skin colour .
  16. Reported nearly 2 years ago too, here. Personally I do not get the problem now, I access PT from a link within my empty tab in Firefox.. It can also come from an infected DNS. I was suspicious back then it was something in my router.
  17. Yes, I informed an Oz mate of mine too as last time he visited he came Air Asia via KL. It also makes a trip via Singapore another option for those wanting to get straight to Pattaya. I have always been put off by arriving at DMG and having to go through Bangkok traffic. I need to get up to date on transport availability at U-Tapao, but there is a large car-park so getting met and picked up should be straight-forward.
  18. Guess you got the same as me then, very black clouds and now it certainly isn't beach weather. Quite heavy rain. Your pic doesn't show it very clearly for me, and it isn't resizing to fit.
  19. Really, a bit cloudy here to the North. Actually that would normally suit Thais better.
  20. I like the cloudy, rainy days...... it sure gets hot quick when the sun breaks through.

  21. Personally I turn left just after BigC-X and head down soi Yume, then turn right at the wet market (after a new 7-11). You come out on Sukhumvit after the road works but you can get onto the motorway (Hwy 7). I suppose Homepro could be a short-cut too, but rather close to the motorway ramp to get across in the traffic.
  22. They still appear keen to offer CCs to foreigners, as long as you are prepared to have a fixed term (3m) deposit equivalent to your credit limit.
  23. A little out of context but I do hear the UK is having a very nice spell of weather, and nice to hear of someone quitting smoking and getting fit.
  24. A bit of rain yesterday around midday, I was on my bike at Tesco South (do not shop there on Mondays, hardly any tills in operation, tellers to whom your time is of no consequence and bloody long waits)... thought I was going to be trapped by what looked like heavy rain. As it was I was able to ride my bike back to central Pattaya without the silly waterproof thing that inflates and makes me look like a wheeled blimp! Some rain at 4am that woke me, but gone now. Radar looks clear,,, should be able to use the bike again later. I haven't taken the truck into town for ages!
