  1. Left at the lights? I only saw right turn arrows leading to 3rd road. But, I was in the center lane and definitely did not want to go to 3rd road!I'll give it another look when this cloud burst lets up.
  2. I can't think of any decent short cuts that aren't currently already congested. All of this to make 100 meters of road one-way. It boggles to think about it. It might keep some Russians in Jomtien, so there might be a silver lining.
  3. How Pattaya traffic engineers can screw up the trip from Jomtien to central Pattaya in one day. They've diverted traffic from Thappraya to 3rd road at the overpass. This means baht busses from Jomtien are going to have to go to 3rd Road instead of 2nd Road...I have no idea what short cuts they will use that will further screw up traffic. Started today. See the map for an explanation.
  4. Stop acting the shill...it's close to deception, and some might be mislead.

  6. Just want to remind everyone that answers have to come without resorting to the internet searches until 24 hours have elapsed.

  11. So what does that tell us about the cause of the accident, if anything?

  13. Yes it is. You have to go to immigration and transfer the visas, but it's quite doable.
  14. What about anyone who is lactose intolerant? What's this recipe have to do with Asians?
  15. Interesting reading...from the accident reports, one can truthfully say that there haven't been any fatalities at SFO, but there have been several crashes on approach...before they got to SFO. Accidents and incidents A fire-damaged ABX Air Boeing 767 at SFO On October 29, 1953 British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines flight 304 a Douglas DC-6 en route from Sydney, Australia with fuel stops in Auckland, New Zealand, Fiji, and Honolulu crashed on approach to SFO into Kings Mountain in San Mateo County. All 19 passengers and crew died. On December 24, 1964, Flying Tiger Line Flight 282, a Lockheed Constellation cargo aircraft departing for New York City, crashed in the hills west of the airport, killing all three crewmembers on board.[81] On November 22, 1968, a Japan Air Lines DC-8, named the Shiga[citation needed], operating Flight 2, crash landed on final approach at 9:30 a.m. on a shallow underwater reef at the eastern tip of Coyote Point (three miles short of the runway southeast of the airport). The plane was on a trip from Tokyo to SFO, after making a stop in Honolulu. The pilot was experienced, but apparently misread the instruments on the DC-8, which was less than a year old. There were 107 people on the plane. There were no deaths or serious injuries. The plane was salvaged by Bigge Drayage Company soon after the crash. All luggage and fuel were removed to cut the weight and the plane was lifted onto a barge and taken to the airport for repairs. The cost of repairs was $4 million and the plane re-entered service the following April. On July 30, 1971, Pan Am Flight 845, a Boeing 747 (registration: N747PA, name: Clipper America), struck navigational aids at the end of runway 1R on takeoff for Tokyo. The aircraft's landing gear and other systems were damaged. Two passengers were seriously injured by metal components of the runway approach light pier entering the cabin. The flight proceeded out over the Pacific Ocean to dump fuel in order to reduce weight for an emergency landing. Emergency services were deployed at the airport, and the plane returned and landed on runway 28R. During landing the aircraft veered off the runway. There was no fire. After coming to a stop, the aircraft slowly tilted aft, coming to rest on its tail in a nose-high attitude. The forward evacuation slides were therefore in a nearly vertical position. Evacuation using these slides caused all of the additional injuries, some severe. There were no fatalities among the 218 passengers and crew aboard. An investigation determined the cause of the accident to be erroneous information from the flight dispatcher to the crew regarding weight and runway length.[82] On June 28, 2008, an ABX Air Boeing 767 preparing to depart with cargo caught fire and was seriously damaged. The pilots escaped uninjured. The airline had received a threat the week before, but thus far investigations have revealed no evidence of any malicious device on board.[83][dated info] On July 6, 2013, Asiana Airlines Flight 214, a 777-200ER registered HL7742, crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport. After slamming into the seawall of the runway, it touched down short of the runway. Passengers and crew evacuated before fire destroyed the aircraft. Two fatalities resulted and ten were in critical condition according to local media. An NTSB investigation is underway.[84][85][86]
  16. You can't tell me that the ratio of good looking girls to slags in AC is any better. I've gone into clubs there that have circa 200 girls and maybe about 10 good looking ones. Concentrate on the ones you like and ignore the rest. That's how it's done, you know.
  17. None that I can recall, MLC..And from the debris starting at the water line it was likely bad piloting...too low and to early to set down. Lucky he didn't shear off the entire bottom of the plane.

  19. Without further explanation, I'm inclined to that opinion.
  20. A "holiday program"? What is that?
  21. Not necessarily suicide, but it shows the 6th floor fall will do the job. http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/94271/russian-dies-6th-floor-fall-central-festival-pattaya-beach/

  23. I think they should make Beach Road a non-parking area...including the hundreds of motorcycles for rent just sitting there blocking out half a lane.
