Downgrade back to IE10 then, Papillon posted he had to do that.

The TGF insists these huge speed humps have something underneath them, She said maybe pipes to take waste water to the beach from the other side. I said there were no pipes or anything there when I rode down Beach Rd, prior to the humps....'that is why it is so high', she told me. Anybody been close enough to see this, should be obvious if they are not completed?

No, not yet. But I have started wearing a T-Shirt around the house and when I went out the other day on the bike I put a shirt over a T-Shirt USA style, I was still cold as it was early.

I did yesterday, it was bloody freezing, took me 20 minutes to stop shivering. I even waited until afternoon hoping it would be warmer. No it doesn't have a heater................ Measured the water about 24 DegC......felt like 24 Deg F although it would be ice of course! I know, I know, Sympathy can be found between Shit and Syphilis in the dictionary!!

After the Fed in the USA announced it's 'tapering' on bond buying, the baht fell, and this morning we see a Yahoo price of 32.6 /US$ and 53.2/£ and maybe more for that Euro thingy Germany has too! I shall be interested to see what the banks are offering at 8.30am today...(oops it is Saturday!) With elections not until February and possible protests on Sunday that will keep the pressure on the baht. Is it worth sending some money over here and getting it tied up amidst all the seasonal holidays.? An opportunity for 5 baht price increase on a beer in a GGB? With more baht available to you tourists please play the LDOP with gusto and send a draft over to the curly haired little guy being neglected in a corner. Of course we Expats have lost value in our homes and baht holdings, so we will carry on griping! It's cold out too!

Moonstruck.

I like them..... but it is what one 'always had'. It needs something, dry and uninviting.

I nearly got hit using one of those, bloody farang driver.

Happens on my Windows 7 Laptop too! Still getting this, there was a Firefox update today, I wonder if that will fix it. No, still get it, mostly a morning thing????

Soon after mid-night. Similar to your recollection (rather dated), the ones on the corner would no-way put on their meter, and I would be walking down Silom trying to flag one down... even then getting out again if he refused to go metered! No way to end an evening.

Yes, we used to make 'sun tea' when I was in Saudi, a place where a cold one was savoured. Copied from our American friends there. But I still found a cup of tea (hot) was something to be avoided in the USA. Probably like a cup of coffee in the UK. I should make some 'sun-tea' here in Thailand, it is the season for it now, but I don't have a big glass jug..... would a clear plastic one work?

Yes, I often felt a few of the 5 stars didn't have a policy as such, but chose not to hassle their guests. Likely until they had their first issue maybe.

Not really true..... 1000 baht is low-end these days in Bangkok and tourist areas of Thailand, and even high end hotels can be guest friendly. Patpong is the slight stumbling block, I always stayed around Suk/Nana.-Cowboy area, if I fancied Patpong, I would take a Tuk-tuk ot Taxi. Try this....there are some Patpong places listed although I cannot recommend them.

Many years ago, I had a strong Samsonite Suitcase, and I have one of those cable locks for the laptop. The cable went around some immovable object, the other end on the computer, that went into a padlocked carry on bag, the padlock also going over the cable....then that lot got locked into the locked suitcase. Some other stuff got chucked into the inner bag too. I felt that safer and certainly easier than carrying stuff with me in say a fanny pack. Always relieved to find a hotel room with a safe but rural Thailand didn't do them back then.
