  1. Hi All I just arrived yesterday and saw my condo for the first time. First I have to say ,its on Threpaya rather than threpassit but, notwithstanding the mistake I made in naming the street wrong , I actually knew where it was just got the street name mixed up, this place is beautiful. It has everything I could wish for and is hospital clean, probably won't be when I go home, and is extremely well equipped.Unless something strange happens, and this is Thailand after all so nothing is impossible ,I think I am going to be very happy here.I would recomend this place to anyone on the hunt. I alway
  2. Hi All , I have an out of date thai driving licence(s) , how do I go about renewing said licence(s). I have only a 60 day visa this year will this make a difference?. any help will be appreciated.
  3. I have, since I last posted, booked what seems to be a great AirBnB place at a super price(£512), for two months just of Threpassit rd. I will be there on thursday morning and will update on the reality as opposed to the pictures. https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/10533346
  4. I hope that's not true as I have booked 2 months in a nice condo for the end of this month in the Diamond suites of threpassit 15
  5. Personally I love spam , mind you not that stuff called spam as a brand But the stuff called Pork Luncheon Meat or spam for short .
  6. A female Miami Herald reporter, interviewing Florida Seminole Indian Chief Billie, asked the significance of the varied number of feathers in Indian headdresses. "Feathers show number of sexual partners," the chief replied. Pointing to a nearby young brave in a Chickee, he continued, "Him? One woman, one feather. Him?" pointing to a second, older man, "Three women, three feathers." The reporter looked at the Chief's headdress. "But you have so many feathers!" Chief Billie proudly slapped his chest. "Me Chief. Sleep with all women. Big, small, fat, tall." Horrified, the female reporter said,
  7. I well remember drinking Boone's Farm Apple wine in the 80s, and that tasted great, but I have never heard of the rose, was this an American thing only?.
  8. I started a KFC only diet and no one believed I would succeed but I lost 10 lbs in a week .
  9. Why when Heathrow is a very expensive airport to land at , is the fare larger when its from Other airports?.
  10. Just booked a flight with Oman Air for 2 months june -july £370 1 stop with a 2 hour layover. Seemed like a good price to me . Can anyone tell me what the skinny is with Oman Air, I read some reviews that were not at all bad.
  11. I should add that most of my electricity is generated by my own solar panels and that keeps my costs down. Can I do this on my standard laptop? and where do you learn ? websites or what?. I used to be connected to SETI years ago and that never seemed to impact my power bill.
  12. r-con_blueocean@hotmail.com monthly 7990 baht its on soi buakhao + water and electric You could try the 9 Karat condo on soi arunthi , google it, thats around 10000 a month plus the utilities . both places have pools but the 9 karat has a giant pool thats great for laps.
  13. Is this on in june or july when I will be there as it looks like the sort of thing I do enjoy.
  14. Honestly anytime is a good time. I usually get there later and just go to bed s I am usually knackerd from my flight. The one time I arrived late and went out I picked my lady for the night and was too tired to complete, but I am an older man.
  15. Even after all the "explanation" I still have no idea about this. How can a computer use so much power its uneconomical? my computer uses minimal power , probably less than £50 a year as my total bill is under £300 a year. Can someone post a link that might explain this process in a manner a luddite like myself might understand.
  16. Loads of places do this , but for you to get any reliable answers you need to tell us where what and how much you want to pay. Some go for 5000 a month or even less if you want a thai style no AC room . or the sky's the limit if you want luxury. reasonable cheap rooms start at around 10000 baht a month and go up from there.
  17. Don't sweat it too much as if you have reached the ripe old age of 60, then you will have enough sense to look before you leap. Pattaya is that sort of town where everything your mother said about bad places is both true , because its an adult Disneyland, and untrue because it won't kill you or send you to hell, but you will enjoy yourself . I will be there in your break as I am going from may to the end of July but again don't sweat it there are so many blokes our age around you will not lack a drinking buddy. I would say watch how much you drink as its easy there in the heat to drink beer li
  18. Horse is in the pub having a few, spots a donkey in the corner. So he nips over to have a natter, donkey asks "what did you do for a living?" Horse says " I ran on the flat in the summer and over the jumps in the winter". Donkey says "I worked with the kids on Blackpool beach. Did you win anything?" Horse says "yeah on the flat I won the St. Leger and the Derby and over the jumps I won the Grand National and the Gold Cup” They arrange to meet at the donkey's house a week later, donkey thinks, "I need to impress this guy, he's done everything". So he buys a big picture of a zebra and hangs
  19. Born Glasgow 10/12/1951 went to london easter 1969- 1988 now live in Chelmsford essex I understood every bleedin word .
  20. There is little to worry about as a first timer, the normal travel rules apply here just as they do everywhere so remember this is a third world country even if the big cities have skyscrapers and fancy hotels, the general run of folk are dirt poor . Dont worry too much about things before you get here and don't sweat the little things as you will be able to make your time here in un town a great time on what for us westerners is a little money. Food is what you want to make of it , as you can eat very cheap or cheap and good as well as very good food at reasonable prices or pretty crap food a
  21. From my point of view the relative profit making one airport over another is less than nothing to me . I want to fly from the most convenient airport and Stansted is by far my most convenient airport ,being around 21 miles from my front door, whilst Gatwick is 62 miles and Heathrow is 67. Southend is nearer at only 18 but doesn't have flights to my chosen destinations. The one caveat is that being a real bargain hunter I would put convenience behind cost as a factor in my choice of flights and unless the price was nearly the same I would continue to use the cheapest "convenient" carrier and a
  22. You may call it a bun or a roll but we call it a bread roll in the UK as it is made of "bread" of one kind or another but it is always a "bread" roll, to distinguish it from other kinds of rolls.
