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.

Find out how much he pays for the monthly maintenance fee. The complex charges 10 baht per square meter per month. My fee for my corner unit is 600 baht per month. If he pays 440 baht per month then it may be 44 square meters. If he pays 400 baht per month, then is must be a standard studio at 40 square meters.

Now that you want to throw rocks, I view you as some sort of a used vehicle jockey and wouldn't trust you far enough to buy from you anyways. I am curious as to where you get all the vehicles you are peddling.

I have no idea if the site is up to date or not. I was just curious what that 150 cc PCX retailed for and that's the site I found. I did buy my wife a new Honda Wave a couple of months ago and the price on the site was close to what we paid.

Let's hear what's going on with you now...similar to Facebook

The instant coffee maker can froth the milk or Coffee Mate which looks good but is not a big thing. The main advantage is that it uses a pump and super hot water to dissolve the instant coffee. That is supposed to bring out the maximum flavor. Does it actually work? Maybe it is my imagination but the flavor does seem better. The Nescafe instant coffee maker won't be a total loss when I go back to ground coffee beans. My wife uses it to make her frothy hot chocolate. -
Party, Apple Bar Jomtien. June 11th
Gary replied to chris_heaton's topic in Bars/Gogos/Business Owners' Forum
The Apple bar is my favorite Jomtien hang out. I have a condo in Baan Suan Lalana so it is also convenient for me. I am about ready for a trip to Jomtien so I hope to make the party. -

Back to the subject of coffee. Recently I bought a Nescafe instant coffee maker. It does the best it can do with instant coffee. Unfortunately I have had about all the instant coffee that I can stand. I ordered a hand held bean grinder with ceramic burr cutters and a kilo of French roast Doi Chang Thai coffee beans from Lazada. I hope that the extra effort making coffee will start my day a little better. What kind of coffee beans do you guys use and recommend? -
Here's a good link; http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g297390-d1717982-r152167012-Derleng_Tours-Siem_Reap_Siem_Reap_Province.html We had a great deal worked out because there were six of us. We would have had a van all to ourselves. We were not interested in a tour with a lot of strangers. We didn't get to try it because I got out voted. As it worked out, the hotel was great with the airport pickup and the hotel handling their own tours. A $2 tuk tuk ride from the hotel to Pub Street and shopping was convenient.

We just got back from Siem Reap today. My wife and I went with two other couples. We considered doing a tour out of Bangkok. It sounded good but in the end we flew Air Asia from Don Muang. About a one hour flight. We stayed at the Saem Siemreap Hotel. They picked us up at the airport. It's a VERY good hotel and for about $50 a night, it's a great price. I booked the hotel through Agoda.

It's not rocket science to check air pressure in a football. If my wife can check the pressure in tires, I would think that highly educated officials can check the pressure in footballs. A tempest in a tea cup. I don't even like the Patriots.

I was born and raised not far south of you near Van Wert. Cold in the winter, hot in the summer with swarms of mosquitoes. I'll just stay in Thailand. -
It's up to the NFL to check the equipment. If NASCAR can check all the cars before a race, the NFL officials should be at least be able to check the balls.

MM, This may be the answer to your problematic coffee maker; http://www.udonmap.com/udonthaniforum/coffee-machine-for-sale-t36626.html I have a dash cam that I bought from Lazada. A friend of mine had a look at it and asked me if I would order one for him. I did order the camera and normally things are delivered in three or four days. This time it has been more than a week and I was notified that the item had been delivered. If it was delivered, it was delivered to someone else. I never received it. Kerry Express has been good in the past but it appears that the driver is a lazy bastar -
When I have to give an email address for one reason or another, I use my Hotmail account. It has a feature that my normal Gmail doesn't have. I rarely get spam from Gmail because it is used only for people that I know. I always have some with Hotmail. I click the box and an option called "Block" comes up. Most spam or dangerous messages have titles to entice you to open them. Resist the temptation and block them.

They both had a HUGE payday. I'd say that if there is a rematch, it won't come close to matching the money that this one generated. I would call those pitty pat jabs from Mayweather defence rather than punches. Just little pushes to keep Manny away from him.
-
Since Pacquiao spent the entire fight chasing Mayweather, I thought the judges did a horrible job scoring the fight. It should have been a LOT closer. I really thought that Pacquiao was ahead and should have won the fight. It was quite obvious that Mayweather wasn't willing to mix it up and go toe to toe. I don't care about the "ART" of boxing. I like to see some action and less dancing.
-
I'm just glad that I didn't have to pay to see it. Just a typical Mayweather fight, flick the jab and run. Mayweather may be undefeated but he certainly is not an exciting fighter. Reminded me of the Klitchco fight. Jab, jab and run. Both fights sucked.

In Kalida, Ohio there was a steak house called the Black Angus. He aged the steaks himself. You wouldn't want to walk into the aging room. They had to scrape mold off the beef before they cut it. That said, his steaks were excellent, as good as I have ever had. That resturant had been there for many years before the national chain came along and called the chain Black Angus. The chain actually sued the guy for using the name he had been using for many years. The owner of the original told the judge the story and he was allowed to keep the name as long as it stayed in the original location. Law

Most western currencies have not gotten stronger. The baht has weakened. Good for Thailand and good for us.

There are a lot of different theories as to what makes the best beef. Finished on grain seems to me, gives the best flavor but there are those who insist that grass fed is the best. Those who think that those fed on grass are great should really like Thai beef. Thai beef doesn't even make edible hamburgers without mixing some fatty pork sausage with it and even then it doesn't have much flavor. I was born and raised in Ohio. A farmer who lived near me always insisted that sunshine made the beef tough. His steers never left the barn and were finished out with corn. He had excellent beef. I doub

T shirt, I saw a sweet young thing wearing one that said "if you can't feed em, don't breed em" I was impressed. After talking with her a bit, I was quite disappointed to learn that she had no idea what her shirt said or what it meant.

The best steaks I have had in Thailand were from Neil's Steak house. You pick your own steak from a platter of raw steaks. You are charged by the gram. Expensive but very high quality US beef. Since I live upcountry, beef is no longer a part of my diet. I did buy some very expensive imported aged steaks in Udon Thani and several of them were spoiled. No refund or replacement. That guy, not surprisingly is no longer in business. It's now fish, chicken or pork. Actually what I miss the most is a good hamburger. McDonald's just doesn't cut it. I like my steak pink in the center, not dripping

My jet lag used to be horrible, three days to recover here in Thailand. I finally mentioned it to my doctor. I was doing exactly the wrong thing by having a few strong drinks. It appears that my problem was dehydration. I was advised to forget the alcohol and drink a lot of water. That brings me to my United Airlines story. I bought a bottle of super expensive airport water. It was confiscated by security. I get to my seat and asked the old cow flight attendant for water. She brought me a tiny cup that contained a couple of swallows. After we were in the air, I asked her for a bottle of water.

When I was still in tourist mode, I carried mt US bank ATM card and kept a credit card hidden in my luggage. Both these cards are rather expensive to use regarding fees but I paid those fees in exchange for peace of mind. It makes me too nervous to have a large amount of money in a hotel room, any hotel room.
