Yeah, right - haven't seen that for over a year....

Yum! Looks great. Good luck.

Yes; no airport at Kanchan.

Nice!

What's pedantic about something so simple that it still was above too many people on here? A non-electric one would be a wind-up one, which also avoids the shortfalls in Pattaya electric companies.

Surprised no-one has yet mentioned 'Sanctuary of Truth' up at Naklua. A good half day visit, in my opinion.

How come everybody on here thinks that battery powered clocks are not electric?

My Thai wife in Sisaket has a small shop at her house, a small restaurant that isn't making any money since the passing of the king, and a small farm which grows only rice. As the return for rice out there is only 8 baht per kilo, it wasn't worth even planting any this past year. (Sorry about the continued off-topic post)

No worries, Mate - I just thought it was funny, but your suggestion that you may have gotten it right following another post is also quite witty. I should watch my own spelling better, as I mis-spelt 'one' and used 'on' - can't criticise another poster if I also get it wrong too, now can I?.

A pity the menu was "lamented". I would have preferred on that was laminated and "celebrated".

Thanks for ending the year with another witty post, monkeyman! As always, I enjoyed it.

I have ordered food from the Metro Bar's Golf Club menu a few times and it has always been delivered hot and quite well prepared and cooked. Edit: Oh, and I can eat it in air-conditioned comfort in good company with a nice cold pint of Guinness.

That made me very hungry. Thank you.

No problems from Australia. Well done!

I think that, in Air Kazikstan, you have to piss out the window. I could be wrong though....

As always, Good Stuff!

That's a nice photo of you, Martin. The food looks good also

Isn't this thread getting a bit off topic?

Thanks again for my monthly morning kick-start.

Lovely, just lovely.

The IDP only lasts a year in Aust., but when I had my photos taken the first time I had 5 or 6 prints, so I could use some on future renewals. I then found that the photos can only be 3 years old. Will find out next year if anybody notices....

Maybe it's cheap in UK, but in NSW (Australia) it costs AUD35.00, plus you need to get a new passport-type photo every 3 years. So, I reckon it's a bit of a rip-off.

I have no problems with that (above) but Thailand is a play area for many Australian families, and also a trap for young players who have (maybe) never ridden a bike before and think they will be okay there, so there have been huge medical bills and much grief following accidents. It has also meant huge bills for insurers, so they have rebelled. Do what you will, but be prepared for consequences.... I rode bikes in LOS for a couple of years, and also drove rented cars, but without a IDP and, luckily, without an accident. Won't try it again.

I agree with your comments, Idefix. About a year ago I approached my local bank branch in Australia (NAB) about the free travel insurance I receive when I buy my plane ticket via my NAB credit card, just to ensure that I have been covered for the past few years since I gave up purchasing insurance. I was told that, as long as I informed the bank of my travel dates I was covered (I didn't know I had to do that - just thought that seeing I had bought a dated ticket on my card I would be covered). There is a place on their website to advise the dates of travel. Anyway, I was also asked if I in
