  1. I use Firefox and have no problems viewing any links that are posted. I do know, however, that there was an issue recently with the new Adobe update, but whether that would affect the 'missing links' I have no idea. Sorry I couldn't help more. Keyman
  2. Click on the link in the first post. It shows exactly what is being discussed. Keyman
  3. I've had mine for a couple of years too and find it's a great gadget. I've loads of books on it, many of them free. Great for flights, airports, lying on the beach/ by the pool, sitting in a quiet bar without the bulk of carrying books with you. I also have it synched with my laptop, netbook and Iphone so I can carry on reading wherever I am. Enjoy Martin! Keyman
  4. The last time I played a round in Thailand (Oo err, missus!) the caddy was asking if I had a girlfriend, so some, but not all, may be a bit playful!! Keyman
  5. Not forgetting trading in counterfeit goods!! Someone taking one or two back for personal use is unlikely to raise more than an eyebrow, but no way would they turn a blind eye to 900. Keyman
  6. It's only 10 Baht from Naklua into town, even all the way to Walking Street. When getting the bus back they sometimes turn back towards the beach when they get to the Dolphin roundabout. If they do, just get off there, walk across the road and pick up another bus going to Naklua, so the maximum you'll be paying on the return would be 20 Baht (10 baht on each bus). During the late afternoon and evening the Police put up barriers at the Dolphin roundabout which prevents the bus and other traffic from entering the roundabout and going down to Beach Road. Don't panic about this. The bus will turn
  7. Anton's is still going and still a pretty good buffet - can't remember how much though! Just on the corner of soi 27
  8. Hi Junk Regarding your mobile phone. I brought my Iphone 3 over believing it to be unlocked, then found it wasn't! Took it to Tuk.com(?) which is a large store that sells everything electrical and technical and they unlocked it for me for the princely equivalent of @ £6 I think, Certainly not a lot anyway. To check if your phone is unlocked before you travel, put in a sim card from a different network and see if it shows as being locked. Whatever you do, don't use your UK sim without turning off your data roaming or you'll have a chuffing huge bill when you get home!! In fact, you can get a
  9. I flew out on the 11.50 flight and was able to check in before 8 am. I had already pre-booked a window seat, but when I arrived at check-in there was no queue at all and , as always, asked for a seat with extra legroom. They told me to speak with the supervisor at the front desk. She then changed my seat to one by the exit doors. I've done this many times before, the only downside is you can't see the TVs clearly for the 'in flight entertainment'!! Hope that helps Keyman
  10. Pretty damn good!!! Keyman
  11. I have heard that the car park at the airport (not Heathrow!!) is being used to house those displaced by the floods and it's restricting access to the airport to just taxis and minibuses, etc, but not private cars. Any confirmation from the sharp end? Keyman
  12. You should try Heathrow terminal 5!! Keyman
  13. Thanks guys This is just the sort of info I was after. I ride over 10,000 miles a year in the UK, so I know of the dangers associated with riding and very aware of the problems of coming off without protection (helmet, leathers, boots, etc). I keep looking for the suntan lotion with that 'extra' protection not normally supplied with hairy legs and sandals!! My travel insurance will include cover up to 125cc, so won't be getting a crotch rocket that I've seen some farangs riding (why? nobody else gets over 30mph in town, what's the point????) I can't get a Thai licence as I'm not resid
  14. I've been to Pattaya a few times now and often used the taxi bikes without any really scary moments. I'm an experienced biker in the UK and well aware of the riding/driving standards in Thailand , however what I would like is some advice about the legalities of riding over there. I've 'heard' about the police stops and bikes being impounded and being fined for fictitious breaches of traffic laws, but what is the best way to a) avoid these stops being an issue and the best way to handle them. What documentation do I need to ride a bike over there to prevent fines or bike being tak
