  1. The incredible reduction in the number of flights flown and the contraction of the airline labor force has sure given the industry the upper hand at calling the prices.
  2. He'll pick up the bike i have around 9:30 tomorrow morning. Maybe he'll have it available. I guess his number could be considered non commercial or private as you put it. Again I don't think he operates out of a shop front but i don't know for certain. i just know he's reliable and he's been great to deal with.
  3. I think he's based on the dark side but as I posted, he delivers and picks up the bikes. I don't even know if he has a shop front.
  4. Mark only asked for a copy of my passport. I agree with you, I don't like the idea of handing over my passport unless it's at immigration or something similar. He really is a good guy to do business with.
  5. We rented a motorbike from Mark for the second time recently. I can't imagine how the experience could be more seamless. Mark is extremely fair as well as friendly and reliable. this last time I contacted him I explained we would only be keeping the bike for some days as opposed to a month as we did some time back. Mark's price for a week or less is ฿600. He both delivers and picks up the bike at your hotel. Mark makes clear that he stands behind his products. If it's a flat tire, that's on the renter but if it's mechanical, he's the one to take car
  6. That seems like an extreme solution but I suppose he exhausted all others with his particular bank. When I lost a debit card last year in Patts I was told by my card issuer that I needed to FAX various information to them including the address to which I'd like the replacement card sent. (note, a couple of clowns on the board found it sooo humorous that a fax was required but that was the requirement.) I learned my lesson some time back to always have back up contingencies. I make sure I have more than one debit card as it's so easy for me to forget to take my card with me
  7. Is the yellow bus an air con bus? so far the only buses I've taken have been blue ones to BKK.
  8. I do like the Kindle experience however one day it just wouldn't start. I only had the green light and the screen shots of past authors on the screen. The only recommendation of the Kindle support center was to hold down the start lever which accomplished nothing. I then learned since I bought it in the USA, I couldn't get a replacement sent to LOS where I was living. I was told there was no place to get it repaired in Thailand but I didn't look further into that. I did get a replacement sent to a friend in the USA but have also since that time added an iPad2 for a backup.
  9. You breath it no matter what. You only see the smoke. but you still breath their breath.
  10. back to the matter of expiry... .555 Never before did this happen? Isn't the only constant in the universe, change? Sorry about your loss. Unfortunately it pales in comparison to mine in similar situations. edit: for the yanks I should have said "Republic Wireless".
  11. I've learned the hard way how the phones or phone company can drain the credit on a phone. I use a smartphone and learned if I don't have it on airplane mode, it automatically connects to the internet and pleasures itself while sucking me dry. I'm using the roaming for Happy here in the States and the carrier changes from TMobile to AT&T. While the charges are pretty high for roaming, it did serve my purpose at the time; I had functioning phone service when I landed at the USA airport. I've since discovered the range of pre pay phones available for a super reasonable pr
  12. I agree with Teelac, I think Phil runs a great program.
  13. I don't know the one Jacko lists. I can tell you there are two different storage places within 60 meters of the Shenanigans Restaurant in jomtien. Prices at one start at ฿300/month and ฿500 at the other which is possible a larger bin. Tel/fax 038-303 863
  14. Physical therapy from a certified physical therapist would be my recommendation.
  15. Thanks one and all for the replies. I guess I should abandon any idea of buying one.
  16. I saw this in front of immigration in Jomtien. looked on google for 3 wheel motorbike but didn't find much. anyone know price in LOS or any other info about it? Looks solid to me.
  17. One thing about getting older is it allows for reflection of things past. The days of professional boxing seem to be numbered. In a couple of more years I suspect a professional boxing match will be as rare as a public phone in the USA. Funny vid. They only needed Mike Tyson there to bite off an ear or two.
  18. Has the jury returned a verdict? So say you one and so say you all? Blue Parrot uneatable? Granted, the place wouldn't last long in San Diego, but for Pattaya, it's OK. One plus: I've never gotten sick from eating the food there. I ate at Blue Parrot once. I have never been back. I found the food to be greasey and barely fit for human consumption. On a positive note about the place, I think the Blue Parrot has the best salsa in Pattaya. [/url] 0 Last time I ate I Mike's, within 2 hours I was violently ill. Since I had both salsa, and a chimichanga c
  19. I did nothing intentional to change the font when I posted the above. It just came out that way. Sorry if it bothered you but if you'll post your address, maybe I'll send you a pair of extra strong reading glasses. You could probably use a pair anyway.
