I am inclined to say it is a never ending job, perhaps like painting the Golden Gate bridge.

Its on Sukhumvit near the Threpasit junction for Samsung. You bring up a point, I wonder if Tesco and Big C will accept returns or tell you to take it to the particular service centre. I know Numchai have a service centre and can take that onerous task out of your hands. When I was last in the Samsung one I gave up waiting, your time seemed to be of no consequence.

His website still points to his place near Tai/Day Night hotel.

I think MM bought a TV recently. Lazada have been spoken of well by a few folks I know. Reputed fast deliveries.

I once nearly caused a riot on a flight in China. I had had my patience stretched by the check-in, security checks and boarding. All the passengers had masses of hand luggage. When I came to my seat, the row was empty, but the overheads were packed solid, so I started to take stuff out and chuck it in the aisle. Memories like that make me very pleased to be retired.

Well obviously I haven't tried it but maybe have your Passport in your pocket. There was also a kiosk at the airport, just after customs, selling SIM cards and having a lot of trade. One can only expect they are selling Tourist SIMS.

Lazada is a good place to start. I saw a 46 inch Samsung Smart TV for under 14,000 Baht. Great price!

The Government are back-peddling all over the near college sois on this one! So the rather dodgy Coconuts says.

Well you need to turn right and go to the Beer Garden instead now. It gets bad before the actual bend as there is work going on in the vicinity of the sewage pumping place, but for a long time the pavement has been narrow or completely absent from the actual bend back 20-30 yards in-front of the boxing ring/ beer bar complex. There may well be concrete barriers now between pedestrians and the traffic but it is narrow and people are trying to go in both directions there. It is ironic to me that the access to a Walking St, the biggest tourist attraction in Pattaya, restricts walking and makes it dangerous! I recall someone ended up with 2 broken legs as they tried to dash between large coaches and failed a while back.

The widening occurred for the full length of Beach Rd. The other area you talk of is currently where you as a pedestrian are forced out into the already bottle-necking traffic due to construction work.

Well they have difficulty with that sort of thing here.

Well I walked down it Thursday night and there is still room for improvement. You have to step over a ruddy great big pipe running over it..great for any wheelchair/ mobility scooter guys, and there are areas of construction where it is narrowed down. You are even forced out onto the road into the path of already bottle-necking traffic near the corner...... Such a pity, it could be such an attraction but there always seems to be a few issues.

Yes, a long way since Michael Caine, Stanley Baker, Nigel Green etc were united against a common foe!

Well I didn't notice that they moved all the shops, bars and hotels back a few yards on the land side! Reclaimed from the walkway by the beach. It is still quite wide in parts though.

You seem to be talking of club teams whereas I am considering National ones.

Yes, 3 lanes wide now with bottleneck at the Tai corner and slow all the way.

They are offering tourist SIM cards that you can get. True Move Tourist Sim Card mentioned here

I rode past it all yesterday, it was certainly choking traffic on Sukhumvit in both directions. I was pleased to see though that on a Sunday afternoon they were hard at work on the site.

They would not be popular in Glasgow.

The Scots only play well when their opponents are England! As it is, I doubt any Scot would willingly play on the same side, nor under the Union flag. Can't even get along in Parliament!

I thought I mentioned it,I use True internet and lanzalad said the boxes don't work with True. I also do not want to watch programs only on the TV, sometimes I just use the laptop. I have adequate for my needs at the moment.

Rereading the ban reports the more general term 'Schools' is being bandied about. I doubt Walking St would be closed down....more likely to move the school!

That horse really could talk, heard it straight from him! I will always remember Bewitched husband was called Darrin, tall dark and dreary as Agnes Moorehead referred to him. Peter according to Google!! Obviously I didn't know it and will have to buy my own horse-pee. You see what I did there, got us back to animals. Which famous actress supplied the voice for one of the Addams Family Members as a child?
