  1. So this large place is in the Avenue? It is enclosed and has AC?
  2. Qatar were using UTP onto Doha with a stop in Rangoon, but that seems to have been dropped. Can't recall it's demise being mentioned anywhere. More suitable for me as I want to avoid LHR and go straight into Manchester, so a Middle East or other stopover is obligated. Actually the main Bangkok airport is as easy, as I live near to the motorway entrance on the North of Pattaya.
  3. Well the text alone is there at the bottom for me..... Why can't I drop a screenshot in here?????
  4. Maybe you are on a phone, I am on a laptop?
  5. Patrick Macnee.
  6. The text Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda. Is unnecessarily at the bottom of the page as well as the top.
  7. Coincidentally I was looking at this only recently. I had been looking at International flights from UTP and what appeared to be a weekly one, every Friday to Manchester labelled TOM (Thompson, or TUI) caught my eye. I did try going to the TUI site and entering some dates but couldn't make it work. The UTP website flight number seemed to represent some completely different routes too. Perhaps have to wait until the situation clarifies. Maybe it is only a charter option or linked to package holidays.
  8. Utd have had a good run but not really against any top flight opponents, so interesting game.
  9. Well, be careful driving!
  10. There are a lot of guys eking out that bottle of Chang sat on Buakhao stools at the moment. Some make that first one last until 10 am! (Not sure if that is from 9am or 2am!)
  11. Yesterday, when I looked up the rate being offered by the Bangkok Bank in the morning, before the first 8am update, I got a bit of a shock as it had dropped below the 40.0...eek! By the first morning update it had manged to cross back over that number. I also have a spreadsheet with a plot on it (I know, get a life), I have had to lower the bottom/ minimum range a few times over the years, but never ever thought 40 would be tested!
  12. Plenty of different types of Nasi rames pops up with a google, here is one pic. Might be off to Bali for a short trip in a few months.
  13. Ouch ouch ouch...

    Satalite Dish

    I got 2 dishes on my house neither of which is used now. Old technology. You would get better selection with a good internet connection! I stream from my laptop but an android box will do the same.
  16. More likely they were expected to work and decided not to! It is a little while but I was struggling to get service in there but darn they were so cute I said nothing.
  17. Jane Seymour..
  18. Yeah, that is how I felt until I turned 7!
  19. Sadly not to be, well hammered! Some surprising results yesterday.
  20. Now that the Xmas dinners are all done and dusted, I was just wondering where all these eateries get their Brussels Sprouts from! So does anyone know where, in town, this veg can be found....quite partial to them and they can be readily wok cooked?
  21. Thanks, I appreciate that. Big Fascino on Nua? Do you wash these things now and again or chuck them away and buy new? Any idea how long they are good for? I have avoided full face helmets because they are hot and get sweaty, but this is concerning me lately. I always feel worst the evening or next day after having been riding he bike around town a lot.
  22. If it is sand they would do better getting it back onto the beach!
  23. A little like the radio announcement of the temperature when I was driving to or from work in Phoenix, to them 99 degF, while my car proudly displayed a few over 100. I dread to think what I am breathing in waiting at a red light in town, the smoke belching coach exhaust pointing my way, the blank zombie faces above staring down at me, the baht bus arrogantly spitting my way, and I am more concerned of the silky legs on display. I start to feel short winded often, would a face mask do anything? A Darth Vader helmet is likely what I need. or a Hazmat suit.
  24. I presume that means you are using baht to buy dollars, that rate is usually 40 satang larger than buying baht , selling USD (which is what we are normally doing). Maybe that explains it?
  25. Today AM, 28th December. If you have just landed from UK, you may want to go back home!
