Re: Another Helicopter Crash

As an ex helicopter pilot I can say that there are a multitude of reasons why they crash. But they do not just fall out of the sky. Maybe this had something to do with it: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/443901/copter-crash-kills-nine-soldiers "Before take off, SM 1 Anan posted on his F...

Re: best place to shop for household items ??

I agree with Takiap about getting reasonable quality/priced items at Makro and what you can't get there, you may need to dig a bit deeper and sop at Index for good quality cutlery. A good shop for crockery, glassware and all sorts of odds and ends is located as follows - if you're travelling on Pet...

Re: Moving back to home country after living in Thailand

Huh, I see you must have Thai neighbors / neighbours already, as they have parked the car facing the "wrong" way. :rasta:

Re: Turntable!!

If you fancy a trip up to Bangkok, there are several shops in Paradise Park (quite easy to get to from Rama II) They have Rega, Thorens and Audio Technica Turntables, plus maybe a few more, especially if you want to go more exotic. Have you been there recently, Winkie? I went about 3 or 4 months ag...

Re: Turntable!!

I doubt very much that you will find anything suitable in Hua HIn, unless it is from a private seller. I also would not even think about having one shipped in from overseas.

Yes, right now I am in North Carolina and am trying to buy a house here. Good luck with your search there, mate. Here is one that I know of.
