Re: The Digital Surgery

I used to use Avast before, but a couple of years ago I switched to using the Norwegian anti virus program Norman Security Suite. I got the first year free from my bank. Quite happy with it, and they have a fast and good service if you need help. And it doesn't make your computer slow.

Re: Santorini Park bungee failure - a lucky escape

Apart from that, reading the reviews on Tripadvisor leaves one with the impression that most visitors to the park are underwhelmed. Yes, I was thinking about visiting this park during the day on a Sunday, and combining it with a visit to fellow Norwegian Nissa Nyberget's music bar Baan Chang Music ...

Re: Visiting in March 2014

:mrgreen: Yes, it does prcscct! ;-) But I am leaning towards the conclusion that this is a legitimate business. The owner of the company appears to be very active in the international hot air ballooning circuit, and there seems to be some activity with this company in Chiang Mai. I am still a bit ca...

Re: TV series worth downloading

This website has been posted about here before, but last reference I found was from 2011.

Just wanted to remind you about eztv.it that is a torrent tracker focusing on TV series. It is mostly US and UK series. Also a lot of documentaries posted by MVGroup.

Re: Visiting in March 2014

The hotel owner/manager had not heard about them either.
I must say that I never heard of them or seen a balloon flying here. Seen you will be here for a long time I would wait with booking this and first check if they are for real. If there are any further questions please let me know.

Re: Visiting in March 2014

Looking at the satellite pics on Google maps, that looks like a good area for flying with the forest and the lakes and little in the way of buildings and other infrastructure. Just sent a short email to the owner/manager of my hotel in Hua Hin to see if he has any knowledge about this company. Googl...

Re: Visiting in March 2014

Doing some more googling about their operation in Chiang Mai, and found this video from 2010 posted by a Sheila Simkin from the Travel with Sheila travelogue. She has several posts about ballooning in Chiang Mai , and the pilot on the video below looks like the pilot Wouter Cornelis Bakker that is m...

Re: Visiting in March 2014

Looking at the mother company website from my home computer, it looks very professional. They say that they have hot air balloons in operation in Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Pattaya and Khaho-Yai (Kirimaya). They have a contact form on their site so I am going to ask them a few questions like why no-one of...
