You've done nothing wrong, but as a backer of a business (silent or active), there is a group that lets people know you're not just a customer.It's there partly to keep less scrupulous people from praising some venue as a customer when, in fact, they have some stake in the place. It also confers God-like status on you!

Should your user group be changed to Business Owner, Bushcraft?

You can probably rent them for the price you negotiate with them. I seriously doubt if they are up for sale.

Too many for me to name right off, but I think 15-18 is about right.

I'm moving this to the accommodation section, since it appears to be related to that. Regarding the gogos on LKM, there are, I believe 15-18 gogos on that L-shaped street now. I can't personally speak to the noise level during sleeping hours (whenever they are), so I leave that for someone else to answer.

Finally one I can answer! Some obscure ones prior to this... Die Hard

The only choice available up there was TOT, so that's what I got. I had to run the ADSL line myself from the closest DSLAM (point of presence) to the house...rather, I had to pay them to run their line to the house. Since we didn't buy or install any concrete mounted poles, they just ran the wire through the trees.

Most of the content is available using the media program XBMC, and yes, you can do pretty much everything the android box does on a laptop. I find the small form factor and low price of the android box to be more convenient than hooking up a PC to my TV set..that's just my preference.

The more I use the one I got, the more I like it...I use it to watch downloaded movies, live TV, released movies, TV series... Like jacko implied...it can take up your whole day and night...I only get an hour or so of watching a day if there isn't an important sporting event on...then, with American Football, I have my late nights, early morning games to watch...basically the same schedule as the World Cup games that ruined my sleep patterns. For example, my team's next game is at 7:30am on Monday morning...that's usually about 2 hours after I normally go to sleep. Still, these boxes are awesome..when I went up to the village, I had internet installed so I could use mine up there...made the time go lots faster.

New York Diner opened the first of August 2014. It's run by Insomnia and in the back, has access to the IBar back area. NYD is in the same location as the venerable Don Joe Italian restaurant (Walking Street) was located for many years. When I asked, I was told NYD is open from 4pm till 8am. This makes it ideal for a late late meal or snack on Walking Street. These photos were taken over 5 late night visits to NYD where I stopped in for a snack or light meal. The service is excellent, as is typical of Insomnia staff who are very well trained. The interior is nicely done up to show walls with New York skylines etc. Lighting is nicely done. You can eat in the street side area where smoking is allowed. There is plenty of air flow and the area is kept coolish, though it is open to the street, but out of the elements.Further back, you can find dining tables that look out over the bay, but there is a portal to IBar that brings in a lot of loud music, so I found it difficult to carry on a conversation. The food..well, every dish I had was very high quality...good ingredients, generally well prepared. The only problem was the portion size was rather small (IMHO) for every dish. I've had spaghetti bolognese (not pictured yet), Caesar salad, eggs Benedict, chili cheese fries, and macaroni and cheese, all dishes to check out their claim to be a "New York" diner. They did damned well..if you can ignore the higher cost for comparable offerings of these dishes at other venues. Comments about the dishes are in each of the photo descriptions. Okay, it's on Walking Street, attached to Ibar and Insomnia..expect to pay a premium for being open late night, convenience of location, highly trained service, ambiance, quality interior, and quality ingredients...it's not that much, and considering the dishes I had were simple American diner choices, I'm not bothered really. i just wanted to point it out. I will definitely be a regular here if I find myself hungry at 2 or 3 a.m. on Walking Street. Recommended if you are in a similar situation. Caesar salad...a nice snack. Plenty of bacon and croutons, and the dressing was to my taste.. Eggs Benedict..eggs were poached well, but they skimped on the Hollandaise sauce. Streaky bacon was okay, but would have preferred back bacon. Also, the buns they used weren't close to the "standard" English muffin normally used. But, still, it was okay. Side shot of eggs Benedict. Just not enough sauce...they were only open a day or so at this time, so I expect things to have improved. Will try again Chili cheese fries (chili with fries and melted cheese)...delicious..smallish portion for the price, but still, about the best I have had around town. Chili cheese fries side view. Quite expensive for this small dish. Carl's Jr charges 79 baht and Tigglebitties is 150 baht, and both of their portions are bigger..but I have to give the nod to the taste of the chili cheese fries at New York Diner. Interior view in the back dining area. Macaroni and Cheese...very very good. Also very very expensive for this dish..279 baht as I recall. But, it was a nice dish, cost aside. Lots of bacon and cheese, and though the portion is once again, sort of small, the richness of the dish did fill me up as a snack. Lap moo..spicy. I tried it...I have had better from street vendors though, but my companion, wanted to have it. She didn't complain. Of course, she also ordered som tam.

Great..sorry about the incompatibility...IE is a problem for this forum software..perhaps if I upgrade to their latest and greatest it will work, but that's asking for even more trouble, I fear.

It's a compatibility issue between IE 11 and the editor used by the forum software. Fixes will be available "someday" in teh future, but if you insist on continuing to use IE 11 (rather than another browser, like Chrome) you can Paste as follows: 1) Just before pasting, click on the light switch icon in the far upper left top row of the editor buttons. Once you do that, the "rich text feature" of the editor goes away and all the other buttons are greyed out. 2) Place your cursor where you want to insert copied text 3) Paste via right mouse or CTRL-V to insert your text. 4) then click on the light switch again to restore the Rich Text Editor and enable all the other buttons That is your workaround for now. If you want to read about the technical issues involved, go here.

You were asked what browser you were using...

Yes, there are some missing ones...let me add a few. mm1) When making a left turn, especially on a motorbike, into a busy street, do not look for oncoming traffic. If you die, you die, if not, and they have to spin out applying the brakes, it wasn't your time. mm2) Always use the fast lane, whether you are passing or not, because the outer lane has too many potholes from overweight trucks and shoddy construction. mm3) when driving a motorbike and passing someone on the right in a crowded street (especially if it is a farang driver), always overtake just sufficient to then drive across the over taken bike's path and with luck, tap his front wheel to make him fall or at least to force him to understand who's the boss.

I saw this on a Facebook post and it's so on the mark that I think you should all see it. I looked and found it was posted last year on Thaivisa, so it's been around for a while. Source http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/685689-my-wifes-brothers-driving-is-driving-me-round-the-bend/?p=7109916 Every single one of these "rules" is observable daily!

I didn't know of any ISP service (aside from mobile data) that had data transfer capacity limits, so the question confused me. I see your point... Okay, rough calculation..if the stream was 200 KB/sec, and the game was 3 hours, then you have roughly (3 hrs * 60 minutes * 60 seconds * 200) KB bytes transferred..that's 2,160,000 KiloBytes which would be a bit over 2 GB, though probably somewhat less. I guess you could watch 2 1/2 games a month

No idea. This box doesn't connect natively to 3G or 4G networks..only WiFi, and the presumption is it's not data limited. So, if you were to use this, you'd have to have a wireless connection to a router connected to a network that wasn't charging by bytes transferred (if you didn't want to worry about data usage).

I used the XBMC addon SPORTSDEVIL and selected Live Sports, American Football (or NFL, I forget), then picked SKY SPORTS stream (or something like that)...clicked a few streams till one popped up. I really didn't think it would work, but was amazed it did.

Gigabytes or Green Bay I don't understand the question at all. Maybe you mean Megabits, as in bandwidth? If so, the stream was quite compact...about 200 KB (1.6 Mb)..smooth and clear and not buffering.

Watching the Seahawks vs Packers Season opener via XBMC on my Minix X8 TV receiver in the comfort of my home..woo hoo! Streaming video is smooth and clear. Roll on NFL season! Thanks to lanzalad for putting the system togehter.it's working great! I'm picking up a stream from Sky Sports and the presenters are speaking Brit! Commercials are from the UK too. This is a hoot.

Just wish they'd take the tails of the shrimp.

Oh, yes. Then this one is truly dead-ended.
