I am informed that bars will be shut on 6th & 7th August.

Car left standing while abroad, rats damaged wires and pipes

In Europe there is an aerosol available to repel rats and mice. You spray it around the engine compartment.
It does work, used to use it every month. Quite expensive, around 10 euro per tin; don't know if it is available here.

Attack on foreigners gives Hua Hin tourism operators jitters

If their motorcycle had ran put of petrol, how did the assailants steal it?

Good service from iCare

I had a hard disk failure on my 6 year old iMac.

Bought a new HDD and took it to iCare in Market Village.

2 hours later, fitted and OS installed. 990 baht.

Very impressed with the service there.

Carabao concert in Hua Hin tomorrow, 30/06 19.00 hrs

The army own the venue at the previous event, and it was an annual concert for charity.
Electric Mango concert is just for personal gain.

Hua Hin to Pranburi/ Bangkok to Pranburi by minivan

Alice, you do know that Aleenta Resort is not in Pranburi town don't you? It is about 6-7 kilometres south of Paknampran on the coast. You will need a taxi from Pranburi unless they have a customer pick-up service. The airport bus to Huahin is probably the cheapest and safest way to Huahin. Avoid th...

Can an expat get a credit card in thailand?

Depends on the interest rate payable on the normal savings account compared to the fixed term accounts that Bangkok Bank use to secure a credit card.

Hybrid/Electic vehicles

I have had a Camry hybrid for about 4 years now. Very pleased with it, economical and fast. No expenditure other than annual oil/filter changes etc. I have not kept accurate fuel consumption figures, but it is a lot cheaper to run than my previous 2.2 Camry. Around town, if one is gentle with the th...

I wonder what all those "refugees" at Calais are doing? Refusing to be processed in France, and trying to illegally gain entrance to the UK. They are not coming for the weather. It is the handouts obviously, while British pensioners are shabbily treated by their own government It is not a ...
