Out sourcing or manufacturing elsewhere doesn't seem to be helping Boeing and the Dreamliner. Again a Japanese source, like the batteries, is suspect. Boeing reports wing cracks on 787 Dreamliners in production. Reuters

I think I would go with the PCX too. Not only the larger engine but a physically bigger bike too... The dual braking system would be good for a beginner ....says someone who has gone ass-over-tit on a bike that is independent braking! Slightly bigger than the standard Nuovos and Clicks etc so perhaps more difficult to worm through traffic to get to the front. Renting a few different models to see which you like is a good approach before buying.

I nearly choked to death on a fur ball.... there's another danger!

Kind of typical, it isn't that many months ago that I was pumping out my seep-aways as my garden was waterlogged. I shall have to do some research and find out where my water comes from. Funny really, the morning after the announcement my water bill arrived....... fortunately they haven't started the rationing schedule yet.

I see someone is chasing you around giving negatives! As an update I ordered 2 items. One arrived via the regular Thai postman ex Switzerland, no taxes or any payment. The other arrived via UPS, ex Dubai, I was hit up for what appeared to be 7% tax on it's value.

It actually says it is rated at 9.1 amps on the picture up there. It will support a bedroom AC, but my thoughts would be to keep the fridge going if the power is off for several hours...rather than have the contents defrost and horror of horrors the beer get warm. Lovely, sat on the balcony with cold beers and a fan blowing it's exhaust fumes your way waiting on the power to come back.

I don't really know... it was some time back I drove past and saw it was under construction.

And there is the big one at Bang Saray you must go along and try that one.

Yes of course you can, and many do. Personally I just like to pay bills as they come in, it gives you a feel of how much electricity or water you are using and perhaps presses me to conserve. And I was told that in Thailand cancelling direct debits was difficult..... not convenient if you wanted to cancel your crappy TOT and get True internet.

I have done that route quite a few times using both China Airlines and KLM. The AMS-BKK leg was always 747 and fine. Amsterdam is quite an efficient place and if you land there on time it will be okay.... just be efficient and head to the right gate area without being distracted too much by the shops... difficult with wife and kids.

Sat wetting myself on the inside as the sun sets before me the village loudspeaker fired up and gave us a little musical rendition, a precursor to the usual announcements or propaganda. The wfiey's ears pricked up and she took note. Apparently the lake is low and our water supply is to become rationed to 3 hours in the morning and 4 in the evening. I had noticed a few outages in the last couple of weeks, one of them caught me out as I watered the garden and turned off the last sprinkler to an empty tank........ a tank that gets me through most outages unless I stupidly don't verify incoming supply before I water the garden. I think my water comes from a different place than Pattaya proper, I am out on the north side half way between Pattaya and Laem Chabang. So anybody taken a look at Mabprachan lately? I don't see Pattaya losing water, being a priority for tourism, I have never know the soapies close.. But here comes Songkran, when water is wasted to the tune of a few lakes, and rain isn't expected until after then.

Because a guy comes to the premises and reads the meter, then issues a bill there and then from his little portable printer gadget perhaps. ????

Cough up how much?

What a birch.

My TOT bill can get delayed, I think it is issued from Bangkok. That place keeps getting shut down!!!! If I don't get a bill in the box I am likely to forget it and it won't get paid. It creates a slight problem as you can't pay it at the 7-11 if it is past it's due-by date. Some-times the TGF wakes me up and she will go to the TOT office Klang/3rd and take an old bill. Never been cut off yet.

And crushing pedestrians?

What do they buy those with?

There will be fewer people in the hotels and restaurants,, and visitors to the themes. There won't be as many condos being sold.

You should also consider the Chinese Yuan too as it has also lost some value this year and they are also major Thai tourists. Was 5.47 now about 5.3. I selfishly hope that this prices both of them out of Thailand, well Pattaya really!

Does the light in the fridge go off when you close the door?
