Hi, Foram is spelt FORUM YOU PLONKER.

Hi, Been coming to LOS for many years, and lived here since 2005. Went to a LOS D.L. center and showed them my British D.L. and asked Boss Man how long i can drive in LOS on it. He checked on his computer and said, 12 months sir, and if you leave LOS in that time, on your return you get a further 12 months. Some years ago i stopped doing border runs and got a P. to S. due to being married to a Thai national. At this time i went to a LOS drivtng lic. center. showed them my British D.L., which was all groups and asked for a Thai D.L. All i had to do was to get a medical and bring redsults back

Hi, Frostfire you are correct, Happened to me in Tesco's, also, though not in Pattaya, Only one checkout open, about 30 c/o's all together. A girl started to open a desk, so i thought, so i went to that. Was greeted with, sorry sir the girl is just training. I had a trolley full of goods, so i pointed to that and said you can start her training on that, and walked out. The bloke tried to stop me and said, you can't do that, i replied i just have, and the girl has learned her first lesson on how to restock shelfs. Very seldom go to Tesco's now..

Hi, As people have said, plenty of other options. Stop moaning about to few English progs. This is in Thailand, and they cater for Thai's,, and why not, if they throw in a few English progs. be thankful. How many progs. have U.K. got catering for other countries. I have True, With the progs. you can choose the audio, ie. English, Thai etc,.if you press the audio button and then select. But as in LOS it sometimes does not work. But i am happy. Back home 6 years ago i was paying 45GBP's per month for Sky T.V., Over 2000B at todays ex. rate. i expect it costs more now. The one eyed Budda str

Hi, Agree with you Joe. Also if my memory serves me correctly, the U.S. had to revert to the slower type, older, prop. planes for certain jobs. As their so called "super planes" were to fast for what was required of them, They found these older planes were far better, for what was required. Horses for courses springs to mind. Fast jets, in my mind, are only intercepters, and you only have one shot, if you miss, the time and distance to do a 360 is huge. Never knew of the place and will give it a call next year. Thanks for the info. very good...

Hi, Sorry about that C.T. I was wrong,. It was the 10 year old one i meant, I've slapped my wrist.

Hi C.T., There is more than one store run by Tesco's I.O.M. Ltd. in this small Island, There is one in Ramsey, Peel, Castletown and Port Erin, as well as Douglas. and the Glenmorrange 12 year old, which they sell at about 22GBP's, is the standard one they make, in a 70cl. bottle., not the 18 year old, or one that is kept in a Sherry keg, or Port keg to mature. Also Tesco's Lotus, and Big C, which i was in this morning, in Udon, Thailand, were selling the same type bottle, 70cl's, of Glenmoorange at 1650B, over 30GBP, at todays exchange rate, as i quoted. Tesco's in the Island is registered as

Hi, C.T. Last year, Nov., got a bottle of Glen. single malt, 70cl, for 22GBP's in Tesco's, in the Isle of Man, my home country. I did not say the U.K. as the Island is not in the U.K.,. They had the 18 year one for about 5 GBP's. more, Which i do not like They also had one done in a sherry cask for about, 27 GBP's. I have also bought it in the U.K. be it a few years ago for the same price.. A very good malt in my thinking. I do not like the Islands malt, some taste a bit peaty to me IMO.

Hi, For the last 6 years i even find it hard to get a Christmas card in LOS. Plenty of new years cards in Tesco's etc. Same this year. With having to take the kids to school on Christmes day, and banks and shops open, it does not feel like Christmas. Now New year, that is different. The Thai's hve three new year days they celabrate, the western one, the Chineese one and the Budda one.

Hi, Myself i prefer Glenmorangie, a single malt and found in Tesco's and many off lic. It works out about 1600B a bottle, and no silly thing in the neck of the bottle, Imported over here in the bottle. Just over 30GBP's. Costs me back home about 22GBP's a bottle. I tried the 18 year stuff and I don't think it is as nice as the 12 year old, just my choice. Got my bottle in for New Years eve, Just a tip, don't offer a Thai a drinck of it, they will only put coke in it, Yuck..

Hi, Liked flying with Thai from Heathrow. The flight from my home, was changed to Gatwick, instead of Heathrow, so not worth the hassle, now. I now fly to and from Man. Now find Qatar quite good.. Don't get the night flight from BKK, you have a 7 hour wait in the Middle East. From 0100Hrs to 0745Hrs. Not the best. The flight to gatwick leaves about 0200Hrs though.

Hi, was this not Princess Di's habit. Good enough for royality good enother for me. Please wash feet first. Did not do anything for me. Rather something else being nibbled. Cheers Doug.

Hi, Been going there, Tue. and Fri., market for about ten years. Get all my clothes and other things there. Very good. The only thing was that after about 15muins. It was to hot for me, I had all i needed by then, so told the wife to do the shopping and i would sit outside, in other words in the front of a bar, nursing a cold beer, and watching life go by. I'm sure you all know how long it takes ladies to shop.

Hi, Yes quite a few cafes do it. I buy my B.P. at Big C. Very good. But cannot get all the time, so keep some in freezer. Love it. Though not everyone does. The best i got was on Soi6. Going towards the beach on the left hand side just below the Queen Vic. Cheers Doug.

Hi, Quote from Lovedog. "few hotels will have a way to boil water." Don't know what hotels you stay in. I only stay in the cheap ones and every one i have been in, in LOS, has a water heater, or kettle, as i call them, in every room. Also a kitchen where you can get them to boil water, if you ask them. Just in case the kettle in your room breaks down. Also most of the bars, which i have visited, have a water heater in them. So what is the problem in getting boiled water, in Patts. If you drink, coffee, tea, soup etc. you will find these things are not made with bottled water, in most places.
