It is a bit short of Ram (500Mb).. so it doesn't take much of a change to slow it down.

One for myself....

The dog loving Thais make a rope for their own neck.... I often come round a bend on my bike to a group of dogs in the road. They sometimes lie there and refuse to move.....

Well it managed to cloud over and threaten yesterday in the late afternoon...... Empty threats like the Ozzies at the Ashes..... Bright, blue and breezy this morning, another beautiful day in paradise.

By motel, do you specifically require car parking?Most tourists do not need this. Cable T.V. Air con, shower with hot water, e.t.c. are general for all hotels in town.

AA insurance profess to be able to insure anything.

The fee is 1900 baht.Your passport. A photo. Copies of financial proof. Copies of Passport, pic page , original Non-Imm visa and last entry stamp and I94 card. Completed TM 7. Go to CRITERIA FOR RETIREMENT EXTENSION (obtained in Thailand) here Just did it, easy.

A good startt to a sunny Pattaya morning.

Yes, as they were on Thursday night and I forgot to mention it.I was not suprised as I had been in and unimpressed a few weeks earlier, but shutting down just prior to peak is very surprising, perhaps the rent was reviewed?

Not enough to warrant not watering the garden...... It looks to be clear this morning.....

I recently upgraded AVG (free) on my old XP machine and am not impressed with the apparent slowdown and advertising messages I now get.

Good.....I can't be arsed messing about changing it again.

It happened for the Eurovision song contest.......

Sounds good, but could we be beyond saturation? Come back in May/June and let us see how many we recall.

That is one hell of an aircraft to just turn round and land as if there wasn't the slightest problem after all that slamming and tearing and punching. Oh and apparently it was 'crippled' too!

Firefox..... I liked the ad blocker..... Fiddled with Opera for a while but didn't like it.

To be honest, the ones on the beach rd seem to work pretty well. (traffic is hardly moving anyhow), I am pleasantly surprised. Other than beach rd whether they are obeyed or ignored seems to be a bit random... and have become the usual game of chicken and might has right you see at other junctions. As a footsoldier, you have little might....

You should avoid that guy........ I get stopped regular by the police these days, their habit being just to pull over all those on a motorcycle, and they like one of the routes I use often. I like this, I have found that they wave me on when they check I have the required paperwork.... unlike many years ago when they always claimed I was speeding (no method of measuring my speed whatsoever, requiring the on-the-spot fine).

Perhaps that someone appears to be reading a newspaper in there.... wrong but normal.

It is all good news that this engine issue sounds as if it has been resolved.... Although I might feel a twinge of concern if I ws boarding a Quantas A380 at Sydney for the long trip to London.... Might prefeer to get on the BA 747.......not!

Thais would likely not make the initial investment on the craft.....Perhaps a small market of loved up mongers taking their sweeties to (and back) a quieter environment... dontcha has just booked! I wouldn't compare it to the minibus via Bangkok, which is hell on wheels, but the backpacker type tourist would do that. The average Pattaya or Hua Hin tourist has 2 weeks hotel paid already and at 3.5 hours and 3200 baht it is too much for a day trip when Koh Lahn is easier. There are some very nice places to visit South of Hua Hin, and worthy of a trip... but own vehicle is better.
