Not that I can think of. Surely a second hand camcorder wouldn't cost too much. You might get a Board Member to loan you one for a deposit.

Are you suggesting some association with the fraternity of the sport of kings?

I am out near the Sukhumvit junction with 36 (for Rayong)...so your suggestion is good, I will be on my bike as TGF took the truck.....

Sure...... how when where? Bit of a swizz when I moved in here. I said I wanted a minimum of 3.....and he sold me 2 with a new circuit board and left one working with the old circuit board.

Surprised by all this. I used the RG for many years and liked the monthly special price I got, the separate bedroom was a plus for me and that kept the road noise down. I even recommended it to a visiting friend just over a year ago and he liked it. Years ago there wasn't much nearby but there sure is a lot more now. Easy walk into town.... important these days with all the baht buses being full or looking for taxi fares. Often 3 up on a bike to get back! More of the cheaper places are around Soi LK Metro or 7/8 where it will be noisier.

Just been through all that......Big Names are April. BUPA AXA etc etc.... Might be easiest to talk to the Insurance brokers at the Expats Club. One of the first decisions you have to make is the level of insurance...full cover 60-70,000 baht p.a. depending on your age. Or less/ budget cover maybe 20-30k p.a. The Club offers a group plan.

And dreaded thought of where he tucked his purse to free up his hands!

I don't want to get into replacing anything in the control box .....too hot and too many bugs.... just hoping to find compatible keyfob remotes. Is your Paypal account UK registered too? I hadn't noticed an option of mailing it to Thailand (wasn't looking for it), but it would certainly be a consideration for smaller cheap items.Last resort is ordering to be delivered to UK, although I don't expect to go until mid year.

GF away for a day or two. Very generous of you to offer your old ones, but I am unsure whether they are all compatible or not. The ones I want to replace are labelled 'Maxim' and I also have an older one that works which is labelled P.A.T.You really should keep a grip on yours as you never know when you will need a spare (her damned relatives visit ), you lose one or it gets soaked during Songkran! But do appreciate the kind offer.

Is that the Chevy place opposite where the motorway (No 7) hits Sukhumvit?Wow 2k each..... more than I was expecting.

Well I just want to get my hands on the little remote gadgets without having to pay some guy for his time, particularly having to come out to where I live. If you just had the motor replaced there may not have been any programming required. Where does your friend Ot get his stuff from?I tried the key shop in the BigcX (Carrefour) Mall and they only handle the ones for vehicles. I made a note of your guys number though.

The remote for opening my gate is looking pretty beat up after a few years of service... anybody have any idea where I might buy compatible remotes, the small type that go on a key ring? I am hoping just to buy a couple, program those little dip switches inside and that will be all that is required. When I got the place there was only a single remote control and I phoned some guy up to supply more. He said he had to also put a new circuit board in the control box, in parallel with the existing one, and supplied 2 remote controls with that at rather a high cost. Not sure if I was fed a line of BS there!

Might be a good business... many a time I see a Russian they have an ice-cream cone in their hand.

Good post and you just reminded me I haven't seen the despicable Al on TV for a while... out of favour with Bill and Fox just like Dick Morris.

Yes, that was my underlying meaning.........

A strange place to find justice..............

Fascinos. Big dispensary on North Pattaya Rd (Pattaya Nua). Get their discount card.

Patrick Stewart.

I can only think of buying the bottles they sell to top off your car battery with. Yes it is humid in the Pattaya area, but if you put the AC on that can be reduced somewhat. So a question might be how cool do you need to be....if you can manage 25 degC I am thinking it might well be humid enough.

The Piano

Plastic forks (or the really old little wooden ones) a necessity for steak-pud, chips, peas and gravy. I must admit to be soon at the chippy after one (or two) puds after landing at Manchester myself. I think Wigan (or Wigin) is the origin of baby's head.

A slang name for a steak-pudding, the ones with the suet pastry.

The more Southerly station, (Pattaya Tai) doesn't look like it is in useNo of course not, it would be a silly way, only for the train romantics. If I was the OP I would have Mr T or Mr Toom waiting.

Yes I noticed that a little Leo was 30 baht and a SML a whole 6.5 baht more at Tesco.
