Yes, multiple beaches. IIRC more mongering options around Cheawang and Lamai, but have seen various bars in other locations. Wil be having a further look see in the future. Decent is very subjective too, once my limited requirements have been met, I'm rarely motivated to pay extra just for a prettier room.

Thai Airways crash Bangkok Airport 8th Sept
s77656769 replied to Brown1950's topic in Airline Discussion
I've read various articles that state nose gear failure after landing. Seems like failure was possibly asymetric, and gouged runway, and plane went to right while pilot attempted to control it. Right main gear may have dug in to soft ground on right when off runway. Right engine was sparking and some stage of the landing, and even smoking after stop, and was foamed by fire trucks. Note slides were only deployed on left of plane, avoiding possible fire event on right side. -
IIRC all it takes is a strong magnetic field appropriately applied to the brain ...

"What is the insurance situation without an IDL?" is a question I would be asking. -
You could go shopping at scottevest.com and get a tropical jacket and trousers with lots of big pockets, allowing you to temporarily redistribute the weight for check-in, then repack after. Works for me travelling carry-only.

Most amusing, thank you very much.

Pattayatalk forum software upgrade - problems?

Or use the laptop screen as a secondary screen too.

Should still work. Will probably need a new SIM if you haven't used it for 4 years.

Pity many of the pipes are now made of plastic ... I put my pacsafe portable safe inside the room safe. Not perfect, but a trade off I'm happy enough with.

Won't be long now before the staples have RFID tags in them ... probably won't need the card then.

Pacsafe have a small, A4-A5 ish, safety pouch with black fabric over steel mesh and a steel drawstring closure/anchor cable. Big enough for a 10" netbook, cables, phone, documents etc. While the anchor cable is nice, I never found any room where there was anything solid enough to which to anchor it, and the trent to plastic plumbing doesn't help. Sometimes OK for reception safe, however if reception only has small individual boxes then that doesn't help.

Remeber that anything free is worth what you pay for it. "free" probably means you suffer poor exchange rate and/or poor flexibility and/or the receiving back charges a fee. I would be interested to hear back when you have chased down what it actually costs. I recently did a swift transfer of 4 weeks holday money, and my banks charged AUD22 + THB1400, so a bit over 1% on fees, with a 31.95 exchange rate. XE app was quoting 32.2 at the time. I wonder how their app quote rate relates to the transfer rate, and what the hidden costs are?

There have been reports of people opening accounts anyway. If you haven't already, then I suggest you do it soonest. If one branch doesn't succeed, then try a few others. ATM card, internet banking and SWIFT make the holiday cheaper and less hassle.

Server New Pattayatalk server issues - put them here
s77656769 replied to MM's topic in Technical problems or questions.
To clarify a little, I've been seeing this for much longer than the current new server. Symtoms are exactly as tomcat76 describes. My solution is to refresh another tab/page, which then requires reauthentication. After reauthentication, back then posting again on the original page works. My environment is Firefox current with many exhanched security addons, to which I attributed my issues, and as such wasn't going to hassle you MM. I only though it worth saying something because it may have a more general debugging use in this case.
