Thanks.

Bullfrog If you have your 'phone switched off when someone sends you an SMS message, how long is it before the message is lost, please? I switch off my UK 'phone when I go to LOS. When I get back, there are very few messages waiting for me but I know that many more than that will have been sent. Is there a difference in the answer if I had been out of range rather than having switched off the 'phone? Thanks. Bazle

Just as well MASH was at hand.

May I ask why you think you need it? Also, surely it would enable you to see only who has opened a thread, not who has viewed a particular post (which is what the OP queried)? And, of course, there is a difference between opening a thread and reading the posts therein!

I do so regularly. It is well lit, there are quite a few security guards around because of the condos along Soi 15, a small beer bar that stays open, a karaoke place, and a base for motorcycle taxis. If you are at the Mercure and going to WS by the most direct route, you would not walk through The Avenue - simply walk down Soi 15 to Second Road.

Having been genetically modified, perhaps you should describe yourself for us (PS Good luck with your business.)

I'm only one-third expat but hope I am entitled to add to this thread. Jacko uses the terms "I laughed at" and "I am amused by". I am far grumpier than this - I get really annoyed by a couple of things. The first is the guys who think we want to see them prancing around on gogo stages, in particular, the ones who think we want to see their bodies. Examples of this are mentioned in this thread: http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/55887-a-few-beers-in-the-second-walking-street/page__view__findpost__p__907162 The second is the groups of young(-ish) guys (sadly, most often British) who behave like out-of-control football/soccer fans.

You are almost there with FLB - AND you are in a prime location

Cannonball Thanks for making the points for me. Admiral Ken If you knew all along that these chemicals are banned in Thailand, you should be ashamed of yourself for asking to be put in contact with a supplier. To continue with your analogy, it's like asking for the name of a crystal meth or heroin dealer.

According to this website, Heptachlor has been banned in Thailand since 1988, and Chlordane since May 2000. http://thailand.ipm-info.org/pesticides/pesticides_banned.htm

Do you mean Obama has got Oliver North on the case?

Why do you think the GBP will not be hit by a US default?

Yes - the first one: "A very large tub made of ceramic, acrylic, wood, or another substance and filled with hot water in which one or more bathers may soak." "Bath", bathtub" and "tub" are interchangeable words, but I think most people would refer to a very large bath as a tub.

I know the OP is not entirely clear but FWIW I read it to mean that BigD needs a hotel with an elevator and a room in which there is a large bath (to accommodate his portly frame, rather than one more intended for a Thai!) with hot water.

I think a Jacuzzi is a particular sort of hot tub. A hot tub is just a large tub with hot water - which could be (but is not necessarily) with jet stream water.

Maybe - but it isn't "between Beach Rd and 2nd Rd." which is what the OP is asking for.

Just rent.

City Garden condos in Soi 15 off Second Road (near Mercure Hotel) have pretty good wi-fi. There are plenty up for renting.

Hasn't Kim (American who owned the place) recently sold up to a Korean tour company?

Dr Darika is here and is still working. http://www.dentaldepattaya.com/dentalteam.htm

I took a look at it a couple of weeks ago but didn't stay because I didn't like the food selection. I guess it depends on your taste.

American Breakfast, perhaps?

The "Advanced Search" function (the cogwheel icon a bit below and to the right of the member's name) seems to enable searches back to 1 Jan 2005.
