Re: Looking For New Tablet

OK, the beastie arrived just after 12. Did the video of it being unpacked. FFS, it came in 3 boxes - I thought I'd bought a tablet from IKEA. 1 box for the tablet 1 box for the case 1 box for the free gift (a travel flask and 2 cups :? ) Initial thoughts were utter disappointment. I presumed that ev...

Re: Minivan, bus and road accidents

Wow :shock: Could have been me last week..... A bus load of Nakhon Pathom supporters comes off the road on the way to Sukhothai. There are injuries, but not known how serious yet.

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

It is very nice of them to make us aware, I hadn't actually noticed :?

Obviously a slow news day at the Bangkok Post - not enough foreigners behaving badly.

Re: Hua Hin water shortage

I don't know, but I've read they are desperately trying to find alternatives for Pranburi water, with the capacity at the dam below 25%. Meanwhile, my daughter is on town water (without a tank) and has been rationed for several days already. So probably both.

Re: Looking For New Tablet

It has failed to arrive so far. Tracking says it arrived in Hua Hin at 7:09am this morning.

The spec stated USB connection and expandable to 1TB (micro SD). However, I'll tell you the reality when it finally arrives (and is maybe on its way back :laugh:).

Re: Khao Tao Lake

I've been out and about a lot over the last 10 days or so, and my lake walks have been neglected. I went down today, and the carbuncle now has a roof, and so much better it looks for it too. caller's 'Grand Entrance has survived the demolition work, and is still looking grand, However, I still can't...

I've just driven by the small reservoir by the flyover - bone dry.

Hua Hin water shortage

The municipality have issued the following today, which if my translator is correct, water will only flow from 5am until 10:30 each day. Basically, anybody without storage tanks need to fill their containers early morning. Water.jpg Yay :dance: :dance: :dance: maybe they'll have to cancel Songkran.

Re: Tonnes of carcinogenic cadmium in Samut Sakhon go missing

So they've found more than they lost :D

Transported over several months. Weren't the trucks stopped at weigh stations, where loads were checked? Quite a lot of deceit/negligence methinks.

Tonnes of carcinogenic cadmium in Samut Sakhon go missing

10,000 Tonnes? Really? That's one hell of a convoy of juggernauts to go missing. 250 x 40' trailers if they could load 40 Tonnes on to each one. Then you have to ask the question why? From what I've read it was removed from a land fill site in Tak, so I presume it had already been disposed of safely...

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

I've done a Big Boy review of the goal, and unusually, I agree with VAR, they got it right on this occasion. It was the player on the edge of the penalty area. However, there was another VAR review when a penalty was awarded to Ratchaburi, and then taken away again. Having reviewed that footage, I t...

Re: Thailand fuel/pump prices

I think they are trying to be smart, thinking the truck drivers won't notice small incremented rises. I don't think the public are as stupid as the politicians think they are. We will see.
