  1. Gosh I feel old...reading that 3rd Rd is 'central'.
  2. I was there last week!

    I managed to get in later......and this morning it seems to be working OK. Looks like they had a server issue.

    Thanks for the feedback... it sort of is consoling to hear that someone else is having a problem and it isn't only my account that has been emptied by hackers!!! ( I am getting the homepage now, slowly, but the login page isn't coming up. I tried calling them but hung up after sitting on hold for ages)

    Can't get in there now though!
  7. Per Calendar Month.
  8. Chevy Chase
  9. Which one.......?Never mind Uma Thurman
  10. Died under strange circumstances in a Bangkok hotel room........ David Carradine.
  11. Really, that is unusual.
  12. You could bring an electric drill, some large bits and anchor bolts along with the safe.... do remember that the electrical voltage is 220vac (50hz) in Thailand, so you may need to bring a transformer and adaptor plugs too. And a large socket wrench. An alternative, for a more secure fixing, would be an arc welder......
  13. I have been to Koh Tao. It is certainly a beautiful place, but I thought it remained so due to the fact it was not so easy to get to. I suppose you cannot deny the locals the opportunity to wealth that mass tourism will bring.....
  14. Goldie Hawn
  15. Those are poor pictures. They make the place look small and cluttered.
  16. And you don't mind your bathroom looking like a doss house! I am not sure I want to carry a tool box around with me every trip..... I often have problems finding a place to secure my computer cable to when it won't fit into the safe.
  17. People are renting with the government mandated insurance....effectively limited 3rd party cover. Most people in Thailand are riding about with that, or less. Generally renters liability is defined in a contract they sign, in both Thai and English. Your other questions might be specific to any supplementary insurance companie's policy, should you be able to find one. I knew one rental company that did offer supplementary insurance. Even then, covering for theft, in Pattaya, is hard to find. I have a policy, I was persuaded it was a good idea as the obligatory insurance would not cover the bond required to keep me out of jail...I was told, as usual, farangs have to pay more. If a person does not have a motorcycle licence perhaps he should not be renting a bike...nevertheless you have to accept that in Thailand not all rules are obeyed, and some personal risk/responsibility is required.... it is far from a nanny state.
  18. Like most people I suspect a combination of decent food at a reasonable price and a high level of service, polite staff, who get it right and things don't take too long. As I live out of town I also have to consider how easy the place is to get to and where can I park..... I lose my appetite sitting at polluted Pattaya junctions.... Of course in Pattaya you need to consider how much foot traffic there is too.
  19. Something to Believe in.
  20. With the noodles missing sometimes! Now it's beef soup!
  21. It is good to see Thai offering some good deals and thanks for the heads up regarding the 'free' internal flight. I was looking for a couple of Biz Class seats to Hong Kong from Bangers and Thai always come up more expensive.
  22. The manager, formerly of Babydolls.Gets a lot of mention on Stickman.
  23. The Freshman.
  24. The rather strange........ Punch drunk love.
  25. The Wedding Singer.
