  1. Strictly speaking condos should not be rented out for less than 1 month. In Bangkok such places are being raided and all residents checked for address reporting. In the past I used to bridge the cramped hotel room to a spacious condo where I can make a bit of brekkie and keep my favourite beer brand at hand using the Residence Hotel and Nova park. Always liked having a separate bedroom.
  2. I would expect a photographer to have a little more experience with such questions.
  3. In my experience they don't make the best neighbours. I would go as far as to say I would deliberately avoid them.
  4. Yeah a friend confirmed he was done on arrival 10 or so days ago. They obviously got them working. It will not be so easy to dodge behind dual nationality and by getting a new passport in the future,, and living in Thailand on Visa waivers or tourist visas is getting harder.
  5. Very popular with the Chinese coach tours and a cause of accidents on Sukhumvit. I frequently passed when the tunnel construction forced me up there. I doubt much to be seen, although don't forget King Power Duty free!
  6. If they are available. Seriously, consider being more central, out there is a little too far.
  7. I had reason to be on Klang Monday, between 2nd and Beach Road and I see the equipment and holes have gone. I thought the project was cable burial, so I took a look up. Still plenty of cables up there, MV. LV and communication. I am at a loss as to what they have done?
  8. Rosario Dawson
  9. Yes I saw that, try a Skyscanner search and they come up with some cheaper than direct with the airline. Bloody typical, as I have decided not to go to UK this year, last year all the prices were through the roof.
  10. I am waiting for a strong Pound Sterling as I need to get a new vehicle, it has been a long time now!
  11. These festivals always have rip-off prices. I always used to laugh at what was charged for prepped fruit at the small tourist fleecing market at the back of Mike's Shopping Mall. Although I am informed there are quite a few types of Durian and the prices vary, there are some that cost more than lobster. 100 baht/kilo is what I think I paid last time for Mongthong, I went to the seasonal market in Rayong. My Mrs brought me one a few weeks ago and did nothing but complain about the smell for the next week. https://durians.com/pages/types-of-durians-thailand
  12. Well not really, surely it makes them expensive?
  13. Yes USD too, trade tensions with China, Iran concerns.
  14. Those bloody assholes in Whitehall!.
  15. Well I look forward to meeting you then, but soon could also be Wednesday evening. It is PT Crawl time coming up.
  16. I know that used to be the case when that place first opened, I suspect it is now rather busy. You can see people waiting outside during the day.
  17. Can't the same be done at the passport place in The Avenue.?
  18. Bloody Festival for everything every week or so. I am only permitted a coupe of Durian every season and have had them this year already. Beware, eat too much and suffer, it is very rich. It will also be 'with you' for several hours after you eat it, and people will have to keep their distance, it repeats.
  19. Sold out now!
  20. Donald Sutherland. Robert Duvall Tom Skerritt ( I had better check if used already! Yes, shit, ah I think OK))
  21. Elliot Gould.
  22. Brad Pitt
  23. I am sure it caused a lot of short lived excitement over at Anfield who were already ahead!
  24. These places have their reputations, always a little exaggeration there. It has been a lot of years now but in the 'Pattaya One' news reports of years ago, corpses found in low budget rooms, or 10 floors below them, seemed to be in the same sentence as 'Nirun' or '9 Karat' condo. I rode down Arunothai only yesterday at midday, and you see the single men with their weekly shop from Big-CX heading back to their last stop residence on foot.
