Re: The Impact of the Supalai Blue Whale Condo

Could well be when he bought the appt the sun was on the other side of the building. For 3-4 months of the year the sun is south, and for the rest of the year it is north. Makes a huge difference. Windows that are in the shade in Nov/Dec/Jan get the full sun the rest of the time. I have seen houses ...

Re: Travel agents for flights

Western tours used to do that. Worth asking them.

They don't seem to charge any obvious commission and prices I have been quoted are the same or less than I see on airline websites. It is nice having a no of quotes without having to do to much legwork

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

Hi, According to the immigration website, the count for 90 day reporting resets to 1 when you re-enter the country (so no need to do it until 89 days after you re-enter Thailand). However, I have also read that immigration in HH has a separate rule that 90 day reporting still needs to be done. My 90...

Re: Thai applying for IDP in Thailand

Unfortunately, since leaving the EU, a Brit hiring a car in a EU country now requires a IDP as well as the Thai license :-(. Another downside of Brexit :-(

If you have a UK photo id license, you don't need the IDP .

Re: Thai applying for IDP in Thailand

What does it mean by residence permit ? I do 90 day reporting. Is the piece of paper they put in the passport during 90 day reporting enough ?

Fluoride in drinking water

I was looking at the toothpastes that the women in the house use and, following what appears to be a social media trend, they are all using herb toothpastes with a low fluoride content. I can remember the drop in tooth decay (and visits to the dentist!) when fluoride was added to the tap water in th...

At Nits today for breakfast.

The sausage was excellent. Smaller length, but larger girth. Lots of flavour. :-)

Re: Buying a new smart TV

US. If not a smart TV you would need to connect via a USB port to your phone or HDMI to your laptop. If a smart TV then WiFi connection. BUT. The picture quality will be awful compared to either your laptop or phone. Virtually unreadable. I connected a 32 inch HD 1980/1280 TV via HDMI to my top end ...

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

For the same price and virtually the same size breakfast, the breakfast at cafe 99 includes a large cafetiere of decent coffee. IMHO not a big difference between Nits and cafe 99. Except at Nits I have the very large mug of tea and at cafe 99 i have the coffee. Oh, and cafe 99 opens at 7am and Nits ...

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

Close to MV, the best breakfast IMHO is at cafe 99 on the link road between soi 88 and 94. Coffee is in a cafetiere. 2 eggs, back bacon, sausage, onions, tomato, beans, toast. Good quantities. Good quality. 159 (0r 169 ?). Opens 7am so good for golfers :-) It's been in the same location HH for 15plu...
