Bullfrog

I think we are all aware that the tremors ripple out in concentric circles but surely over a long distance some tremors are dampened by geology and/or terrain more than others. Gordon Tickle said that he felt nothing in Chiang Rai and went on to suggest it was due to the range of mountains in between. I don't know if that is true or not because I haven't a clue on the subject.

Pity the bloke in the crane!! The cab separated half way during the fall, Maybe something cushioned the blow ... or hopefully there was nobody operating it at the time !!

Yep, I was thinking about that last night.. During my 18 months working there I saw roadworks being cut into mountains in the Southeastern Provinces that would collapse if anyone sneezed, The Rakhine mountains were too dangerous to drive across in the rain, Bago was very susceptible to landslides and the houses out in the countryside were less safe than a cowshed in Isaan (In fact many families lived directly above the cows). Normal townhouses in Yangon were so old they probably just imploded in a pile of dust! However, I don't expect any meaningful news to come out other than the major towns

Yes mate! My daughter called from her work in Bangkok this afternoon shaken from the aftershocks.. I'm worried about her riding home tonight after work because there is gonna be a lot of unsafe masonry/debris from buildings, overhead bridges and BTS etc etc ..

Norse is starting direct flights LGW to BKK in November .. That'll shake things up a bit ..The Premium Economy Light prices are damned good if you can travel with 15kg carry-on and no checked bags. It comes with priority check in counter too !!

Fucking Brilliant !!!

Bizarrely I was staying in a hotel on Chaiyapoon when I got my last renewal done by the agent.. How the fuck does that work ??? (That's rhetorical and doesn't need an answer other than TIT)

This is what is bothering me now..If I go into town overnight am I now supposed to go across to Jomtien in the morning ???

You are probably right too !!!

Irish and Scots will generally drink in any pub but an Englishman will not like a pub for the smallest of reasons and leave. Kubla on Soi Pothole is the same as this pub and is named after the poem by S T Coleridge. Y'see there are some educated people that use Pothole !!!

I think some bloke and a girl did a livestream from there some time ago .. Is it Slow ride coffee and cafe or a place very near there ?

And on the radio !!

Weren't they also involved with an encroachment project up North somewhere??? I'd keep well away ...

Exactly my thought !!!

I'm thinking of staying overnight but as always my plans are dependent on others ..... and be careful of using "tossing" in a sentence to an Englishman .....even though I wander Pattaya lonely as a cloud !!

I'll probably pass by to quietly raise my glass to you ..... before being hounded off by expats that have no clue who I am, chase me off for being a Balloon Chaser !! Happy Birthday ..!!

Thanks mate.... I am just a simple man leading a simple life.

Can somebody please remind me what a TM30 is used for nowadays? I thought it was cancelled ..

Thanks for clearing that up mate !!!

Be Quick!! They have moved to a tent in front of Big C Pattaya Tai ... (opposite KeyVisa)

Have you compared the location to the latest map of the Government's vision of the new monorail system .... Could be a hub station or whatever they call it ....???

Thank You for taking the time to post. It made me cry ... and put my own problems into perspective.

How weird is that !! I saw a new laundry outside MaxxCity less than 10 days ago but didn't spot that one ..

"The Private of Pattaya" looks a fun place ... even the "sails" look like a stretched pair of women's knickers !! EDIT = Isn't it the boat that sank ??

Hopefully it will remain busy to prevent it being used as a public toilet !!!
