Re: Rough Cost of 6 x 6 m Storage Shed

I am chasing a smaller version around 2.5m x 2.5m for a garden shed, where are these sold?
I would imagine it would be flat packed and you put it together

Re: Vasectomy anyone?

They recommend no physical activity for about two weeks, just to give it time to heal, i can remove the bandages after 3 days and shower.

Re: Chinese tourists at Majestic Creek

A couple of members there told me today that the rumour is that there is a sale bid in the offing! If goes through, could put memberships at jeopardy, new owners have no obligation to honour them, a course in pattaya, phoenix golf club, is battling this problem, not sure if it has been settled yet

Re: New bus service Hua Hin to Bangkok, Don Muang, Mor Chit

Took the 9am Sombat bus from Hua Hin (Soi 96) to Mo Chit last week. Everything seemed fine (smiling hostess, free water, '3 seats wide' bus) and the bus left at 9am, but the bus broke down (engine problem) about half way.
