The tragic...Christopher Reeve

Emma Thompson

Daniel Day Lewis

I think someone couldn't wait.

I was in the Seaside last night (the one near the beach, not Soi Chaiyapoon.). I think the place is going downhill. All the staff seem to be dopey kids.

Yeah that face could curdle milk.I don't know why a hangover makes me fancy that 75 baht plate of grease, normally I would be repelled by it. I put so much HP on it there could be anything on that plate.

Lee Trevino

Burt Reynolds (just seen him on Sophon but 5 seconds ago!)

New venture, Pattaya Beer garden, right where WS starts from Beach Rd. Do a search, quite a few threads on it.

Jackie Gleason.

Saw this not long ago so jumped into my mind... The Pink Panther.

Austin Powers in Goldmember.

David Niven.

I guess the weather in Kuwait isn't Sunni but mostly Shi-ite.

I dunno... Five years ago the biggest party area for mongers was Walking St.... now it is .......Walking St. I just have to negotiate the crowds of aimless gawpers as I go between venues. PattayaLands have changed, gone more gay and quieter. LK Metro has developed more. More tarts about on the streets, that belies the shift to the family. I don't belive this is all a master plan, just economics driven. Not sure what all these big new Malls are all about, if I have been in either of the two latest ones more than half a dozen times I would be surprised. But if EVER, the Wonderful or Bodega bar go, well, that is it!

Good example, you waited around an hour for the bus to save 1000 baht. Fast Track looks like an expensive option particularly, as Joe says, the long boring lines rarely take you an hour to pass through. I take it as a freeby when I fly in long haul Biz Class. When I fly in from nearby, I sometimes have the TGF with me and brazenly try the shorter Thai lines. If I left the Air Asia plane alone, I stand in line and look for Thaksin flaws in the airport construction.

Yes of course, it was likely the usual media of flapping uneducated lips or scaremongering.That said the baht has strengthened in recent times. What was today's little eye-widener? Oh yes DTAC is an alien company says Deputy Commerce Minister Alongkorn Ponlaboot, it contains the old Thai favourite of Zenophobia. But Commerce Permanent Secretary Banyong Phuangrach said at a press conference today that Alongkorn could just give the recommendation given that he is a caretaker minister who has no authority in this case.which looks similar to saying Alongkhorn should keep his nose out. There is better entertainment over here despite the Rupert Murdoch fiasco back home!

Well apart from past political instability having held the Baht back... and a presumption that those days are behind Thailand.

Baht to strengthen. Bad news if you are here on a pension perhaps. :

Mack The Knife.

Everytime I have been in WS in daylight hours it has been full of beer delivery trucks. There are the late night discos, that go on after sunrise, then you could sleep until beer o'clock. Try venturing outside WS. Soi 6 starts about midday. A few places (not as glitzy) on Soi Post Office atart up in the afternoon. Jump on a baht bus on Phratamnak, cruise into the wilds of second rd North. try the big new mall, Grand Central Festival Beach Rd ??,. lots of places to eat in there, pick up a girl walking around.

I have been told that Eva's Biz Class has deteriorated of late. I just did Qatar and although you have to transit at Doha, the on-board service is very good. Meals are of a high stndard too. For 1600 baht you can be met at the aircraft and escorted through Fast Track. Here..But many who have flown economy really want to save money.

I thought there was another thread abouyt this somewhere. The repair shop in the basement of Tukcom has been mentioned. Also the service centre at Numcha, begind their showroom on Sukhumvit. What brand is it? You could look up the service centre. Problem with these modern flat sreens is I always chuck the box out then it is difficult to transport it. If it is an old one try replacing it with one from the many second hand shops or at the auctions.
