The problem is a lower contrast between the text and the off-white, very light grey background color. Definitely makes the text harder to read, especially for older eyes. For those using Chrome I recommend the extension High Contrast. Once installed select the Increased Contrast setting. Only draw back to this extension is some pictures are displayed very dark, but that problem is easily resolved by temporarily disabling the extension. As for double-spaced lines. If you want a single spaced line, use Shift Enter to start the new line.

You could be right on that as that was my first thought when I saw the crew.

The Bua Khao muck removal team has moved their base of operations a bit farther south. Should provide smelly entertainment for day time Bua Khao drinkers over the next couple of weeks.

Didn't see any thread dedicated to general pics people take while out and about around Pattaya. Feel free to add your own. Here's a couple from today. North end of Bua Khao the muck in the storm sewers is getting removed, by hand. Sukhumvit end of Pattaya Tai now has a super sized 7-11.

It might be worth his while to get the income letter before YE, then hopefully in January there is some sort of official word from TI on their acceptance for six months. If no official announcement is forthcoming by end of January, he still has time to go the 800k, 3 month route.

Hopefully the police order will resolve the discrepancies in requirements between offices.

There is, but it displays all new content. The steps I described allow you to customized the new content to the topics you want to see and ignore those you have no interest in.

And if BM's want to customize their Unread Content, see this post.

For those not familiar with the upgraded forum features, it's possible to create your own unread content "activity stream". Here are the steps to do so. 1. Under My Activity Streams select Create New Stream. 2. Give your new stream a name. 3. In the Content Types section, click on the gear icon on the selection for Topics. 3.5 In the Read Status section, select Content I haven't read. 4. Click on the drop down list arrow and select the topics you want to see new content for. When you're done selecting topics, click Save Changes in the lower right corner.

I'm not a fan of the mouth either. Perhaps another graphic in its place? A stylized graphic of the Pattaya city skyline, w/o the Waterfront in it.

Like the one you currently have on the test forum. Perhaps a talking mouth that's open a little wider, with a happier mouth expression? Found that one using a Google image search. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS813US813&biw=2048&bih=1050&tbs=itp%3Aclipart&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=8U8TXIOQHtf9rQHgkKzwBQ&q=mouth+talking+with+tongue&oq=mouth+talking+with+tongue&gs_l=img.3...4268.9953..10218...12.0..0.108.1347.14j2......1....1..gws-wiz-img.......0j0i8i30.JpfovvxFRM8

Bangkok Post has a new article on the Siri Charoenwat Forest Plantation Path. There's riding in those hills

I would be very surprised if the upgrade isn't a success. From frostfire's posts he has put in a lot of work ahead of the upgrade to test and resolve issues before releasing it to the general public. Now having posted this I'll probably be the one responsible for jinxing the upgrade. So if the upgrade goes tits up you know who to blame.

Thanks. Got my Tai's and Nua's reversed. Corrected the post. BTW, the Street View of that location is from Jan, 2018. Some parts of Pattaya may be still from 2012, but the Google Street View car has been back since then.

From the description it sounds like this place on the soi that runs behind Big C from Klang to Pattaya Tai Nua. https://www.google.co.th/maps/@12.9421108,100.8911396,3a,29.8y,104.47h,97.37t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1sGbp-1cvnKqzKSG3ADpq0tA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!9m2!1b1!2i34?hl=en

I don't believe so as I didn't see any indication of a rental shop. The building is certainly big enough to house a rental shop though.

Siri Charoenwat Forest Plantation Path I finally made it out to the newly re-opened Siri Charoenwat Forest Plantation bike path, located near Chi Chan Buddha Mtn and Silverlake Vineyard. I have to say I was impressed. It's a beautifully maintained, tarmac surfaced, 17.2 km loop that takes you through some very scenic countryside. Best of all, at 9 am on a Thursday I had the bike path to myself. Didn't see another soul in the hour it took me to do the loop.   The bike path is of medium difficulty with a lot of 5%+ slopes, up and down. Fortuantely the steeper slopes are relatively short.

Sure hope the system here is more stable than what I see over at PA after their upgrade. They're still struggling with issues that bring down their forum almost every week. Just tried to log on now and get an Internal Server Error. Not sure if it's inadequate hardware or an incompetent forum admin.

Good luck with the upgrade. If you are able to do this in under a day, a big pat on the back to you.

My guess it was more to mitigate the risk of carrying large amounts of cash back to BKK.

Thanks nkped. Good to see our US Embassy people working with Thai immigration with regards to the proof of income requirement. Interesting to read one person reporting he was successful using US bank statements as proof his average monthly income met the 65k/month requirement. Wonder if that would work at other immigration offices.

^^^ I thought the follow on song was hilarious.

Had a look at this one. Interesting and quirky, which is to be expected with the Cohen brothers writing and directing. Really liked the first two shorts, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Near Algodones, but then found myself fast forwarding through the next two and then gave up on watching the remaining two.
