  1. Cant make the 1st of may, but now have confirmation my next trip will be arriving on 13th July, and it seams a lot more than 3 weeks since i left, see you then Paul
  2. I have a kindle 3G and it works fine in Thailand for papers if you have set your account to get them either in free wifi spots or using the free 3G connection, but you will only get edge coverage as there is no 3G, at least there wasn't in November, will see next week if there is. here is a link to site that shows coverage in Thailand for the Kindle 3G connection. http://client0.cellmaps.com/viewer.html?cov=1
  3. if it is a locked region 2 player then it will not play thai dvd's however you can get a one shot remote that can make most dvd players multie region, i got one from a firm on e-bay, sorry cant remember the name but worked ok. just found one, not the one i used bt will give you an idea what to look for, i think mine was one shot and cost about 12 pounds http://www.multiregionupgrades.co.uk/
  4. just seen this in the Bangkok post, shows that the effect on us not spending as much baht is small but that baht's strength would curb export revenue and lead to liquidity problems for Businesses http://www.bangkokpost.com/business/econom...eys-baht-damage
  5. found this on their site http://www.etihadairways.com/sites/Etihad/...amp;LANGUAGE=GB shows from UK that you can change flights for a charge, but you don't say where you are flying from so this may not apply to you
  6. Soi Bakow and LK are well know for flooding at the drop of a hat, hope its clear for you soon
  7. I agree with this completely, if i want loud banging music there are 100's of gogo bars and discos that plat that all the time, i enjoy a nice meal with good music at a level that allows me to chat to the lady i am with, so keep up the good work will be back in 6 weeks
  8. Hope to see you in November John, we are there for 3 weeks from 4th Nov, my birthday on the 5th, i would suggest the place i stay but know you like your pool fun
  9. Been waiting for the photos of this one Adem, as we just missed it as i had to go back to work 3 days before
  10. Same here they keep my passport, but i have a multi exit / reentry visa so can just pick it up on a wed and have a weekend away if i want, money is not to bad just over 55,000 UK sterling (Tax Free), free apartment and 3 free flight a year and 9 weeks paid vacation, been here this time for 8 years and did 9 years in Riyadh in the 80's - 90's. Also have an termination bonus of 1/12 of total annual pay for every year completed so if i left now would get about 36,000 lump sum.
  11. Yes Tabuk, at least i can get to Amman in 5 Hrs drive and Aqaba in about 4 Hrs if i need to
  12. More like 100 Pounds in the airport hotel there, i fly from Amman to Bangkok 3 or 4 times a year ( working in North Saudi) and will not stay in the airport hotel, i use a small hotel about 15 mins from the airport, less than 30 pounds and very friendly. I can also leave my car there free of charge.
  13. I am starting to think this is done on purpose, as i am going back early on thurday so cant come
  14. Whent to see GI Joe Film in Central Plaza today and had 30 mins to kill before going in, so we went to Black CANYON Coffee shop for a coffee before going into see the film, got shown in to sit down and give menu, all good so far, well for the next 10 mins attempted to give order and was ignored, so in the end we just got up and walked out, even my Lady was discusted with them. Now i like Black Cynyon a lot and go to the one in Big C all the time and never a problem, but the one in centrel has no service at all IMPO. By the way there was only 2 others in shop and 3 staff. We will NOT be go
