    Flooding

    Where I live in the UK was hit by serious flooding 2 years ago causing massive damage to the transport infrastructure. 2 years down the line flood damage is still being repaired. It will take quite a while for Thailand to recover from the damage.
  3. Was just remarking how quick Boeing fanboys are quick to post about good news about the 787, but very rarely make the first comment about the bad news. No "overall" loss for Boeing, but it is another small dent in the 7LATE7 program. It is noticeable that since BigD was gimp-masked this topic has been dying a slow death. Perhaps now, after 117 pages, it is time to let it die a death
  4. There is still Samsonite and MrMango left in the Boeing Fanboy Club.... they've gone very quiet
  5. Interesting that the Boeing fanboys have been very quiet about the recent 7LATE7 cancellations that have taken the order total below the 800 mark...
  6. . Last week a new episode of "Banged up abroad" was broadcast in the UK..... it was about a Brit who fell for a Philippino woman who had separated from her husband and kids. She got pregnant and the pair of them were arrested and were facing jail for "adultery" but luckily managed to flee back to the UK before it went to court. The PI aren't muslim.... it's catholic....
  7. I've eaten from food carts, I've drunk filtered water from taps up in the village and the only time I have had a very dodgy stomach was after eating falang food from a restaurant. A shortage of bottled water wouldn't put me off going to Thailand.

    Flooding

    Prices of computer components can be volatile depending on availabilty. A fair amount of the worlds HDD production comes from Seagate and Western Digital factories in Thailand. In the last week I have noticed price increases of about 20% on some suppliers websites, with quite a few now out of stock. Yes, companies are profiteering from the shortage. With camera manufacturers Canon, Nikon and Sony having factories in Thailand it will hit supplies of those as well. Source The economy will take a hit because Thailand is a big exporter and it will take a while for the factories to start exporting again. I watched a clip on the news today where some Japanese companies which have production facilities in Thailand are now looking at other options.

    Flooding

    Hard drives are already shooting up in price as suppliers start profiteering from the upcoming shortage. Thailand's economy is going to take a huge hit as a result of the flooding.
  10. Papps - I have been to places where I have got in for free where Thais have had to pay and have also been to many places where falang pay the same price as Thai.
  11. And they must wear stockings and suspenders!!!
  12. Ruin your fun? She could have been wearing stockings and suspenders underneath it...... And maybe she is game for 3somes as well, after all she is in Sin City....
  13. Never buy duty free leaving the UK, always buy them in Dubai.
  14. I usually bring in a carton or two of L & B bought on the way over, and when they run out resort to Krung Thip...
  15. Slowly the bars and mongers are being moved away from Beach Road and Second Road and getting replaced by hotels and shopping complexes. Pattaya is evolving, it has to.
  16. RIP...... Harmless guy and a true character of Pattaya,
  17. Well siad Bushcraft..... a post by a true gentleman!!!
  18. At the end of the day it was a date related publicity stunt....
  19. Publicity stunt as the 787 hasn't passed certification yet..... and surprise, surprise it happened on 7th day of the 8th month...
  20. H-Eyes by The Ruts... a song about heroine addiction, this was the B-side to their first single - In a Rut Malcolm Owen, the singer, died of a heroine overdose 18 months later.
  21. I have flown with Emirates and Etihad from Manchester, and I must say I prefer Emirates but on my last trip Etihad were the cheaper option, so went with them.
  22. Or a bottle of Red or Black label... For the two young ones I would suggest something they could play with....
  23. perhaps he wants to know the ST/LT prices in Boyztown and Sunee Plaza....
