If you are going to locate places like Terrace 94, in the sois at the bottom of 94, then there are a few others that deserve to be added. There is a Thai seafood & noodle only place between T90 and the small cross road; the very popular Thai restaurant at the junction of Petch and 88/2; (I think...

Someone once said; "Thar´s only two kinds of music. Country, and Western". (hick).

Blues Brothers, 1980 - in Bob's Country Bunker.

And to the OP - mercifully, not many!

Medical cock ups happen all over the world not just in Thailand. I'm sure we are all aware of some disasters that took place in our home countries. Sure - we're always warned that there is a certain risk when undergoing any procedure involving anaesthetics and I wouldn't be surprised if that is wha...

I flew in on an Emirates 380 a couple of weeks back and it was completely jammed full. If the other budget carriers are similar, then there's certainly quite a lot of people turning up. Of course, that might also reflect capacity reductions causing concentrations.

Looking at 94, quite a few already have. But are they 'high value tourists' hmmm.

A major problem - and one that the Thais don't really understand - is that bookings for 'high value tourists' a.k.a European families and resort dwellers, are generally made 6 months in advance and will follow the news flow at that time. So Ling Suthep and the Military intervention resulting from it...

Well the 'granddaddy' of that world view has to be Ronnie Biggs - OK, Brazil not Thailand, but the old lag high-tailed it for home when the going got tough at the end just to spend the rest of his days in a prison hospital for the dubious benefit of being buried in England. Healthcare cost? or Quali...

BB - I had some issues getting a new visa in the UK. It seems that immi bureaux, Cheang Wattana, Embassies and Consulates are all singing from different songsheets :banghead: . It is frustrating, and it is a moving target :guns: and it is (usually) possible to find a solution :cheers: . If I had los...

I've lived in quite a few places over the years. One of the things that always 'gets' me, is how quickly a comfortable living space becomes impersonal once you pack a few things in boxes; and likewise, how any old 'new box' feels like home once the contents of those boxes are emptied out. Bottom lin...

I don't understand how anyone can complain about living in a country that is such a constant source of entertainment...

Thanks. I located a document called The Blue Flame which may be the Aramco thing at least in part - it is only 11 pages or so. PM on the way!

@Chaspul

Is the aramco document actual paper, or could it be emailed? If paper, how large is it for scanning - should you be in the mood to share, of course :-)

Good to know - I assumed it was a thinly disguised advert in any case. Hope I didn't offend anybody's (commercial?) sensibilities by posting the link!

This blog post http://www.samujana.com/blog/thailand-secrets is featured on the BBC's website today. I couldn't help but find 'secret 2' "The Deserted Beaches" wildly amusing! Signs of desperation here!

Certainly I agree a lot of high net worth people (which is how many seem to interpret the phrase 'high value'), wouldn't touch Thailand with a barge-pole.
