I went to Ko Samet last month. There wasn't an apparent easy way to get to the airport for the 15.50 flight to Udon. I booked a taxi in the end for 1000 baht, which was originally advertised for 1500 in the window of an agent near the pier.. There are a lot of new roads and infastructure in and arou...

I flew back to Cardiff last week. I'll be at the game

What is the stuff they sell on the side of the road near Ban Dung? Rock salt or flake? I really like Maldon Salt when in the UK ( their smoked salt is stunning ) http://www.maldonsalt.co.uk/Products%20 ... 0Salt.html

500 baht to get a Canon cartridge refilled at the shop Douglas mentioned. They said you can usually do it around 3 times before you have to buy a boxed replacement at 800 baht.

I'm always impressed when when you see footprints on the seat of a western style bog.

Glad he's finally come to meet you, Myself and Ant were going to offer to take you around town, but the weather wasn't too good, and we didn't leave until late. We just went to The Irish Clock for a curry. If you are in Udon, and are bored in the next week, get in touch and we can pick you up to go ...

OK Mash, you said they'd be stupid enough to fall for it !!!
As agreed:
3 Sausage per message, and a pork pie for the photoshop stuff.
I'll pick them up tomorrow!

So the photos prove it for once and for all !!!
The pork pies certainly look delicious.

His Salaminess seemed a lot quieter when I said 'isn't that woman who has just walked in the one from the internet?'... ...and he was fumbling around with my change a fair bit (although that could have been the excitement of seeing a 1000 baht note obviously). I thought there was the smell of Mashes...

CC is Chanchop.
She is indeed 'as per photo'...and a very attractive and pleasant lady.
....although I did get asked...'and which one are you then ?...aah, I see you are Scottish'.
I would have stayed longer, but I didn't want to play gooseberry.
Best Regards

On my first visit to Chern Chim, I was lucky enough to meet a very nervous looking Mr Mash.....and indeed Miss CC herself. In a bit of a rush now, but I can confirm I saw Mash AND CC AT THE SAME TIME!!!...The are definately not the same person !!! PS...Mash had to check my bill 3 times, and my chang...

I bought a pepper mill from Index, works great. Make sure if you use one for rock salt, it hasn't got metal teeth on the grinding wheels. the salt will eat them.
Finally found a cafetiere/french press for coffee in Robinsons...been looking for ages.

peanut oil is usually labelled as groundnut oil.

Back to the original post. I'd just take the PC, as well as the router to any computer shop, and see what they can come up with. Might be a good idea to take the PC that connects OK there too, in case they need to copy any settings that work. I'd run a virus check first though, to see if there is an...

Hi Parrot, She's not a teacher any more, she's a school inspector. She usually visits a school for 3 days, then takes about 4 days to write up a report. She hadn't sent an electronic copy to BKK, only a hard copy. I think most of the junk was loaded by clicking 'yes, yes, yes' when visiting websites...

My g/f's notebook kept losing the ability to connect wirelessly to our router. Her PC had 7 viruses/trojans, and one of them was blocking the connection. It was difficult to know if the virus and malware software I installed were picking up actual viruses/trojans, or were finding cracks etc in the '...

Bought a dining table and chairs, and a computer desk from Index last week, The earliest they can be delivered is on the 12th August (as they have got to come from BKK). I also bought some kitchen units which will be delivered on the 28th August. They did say I could have the table which was on disp...

I had some nice Lao baguettes with pate and veg (bread crisped up on a bbq) on Wattana Nuwong Rd (Turn left after the plaza near the Thai Music place. Opposite side to the computer centre. Had a hot baguette last Saturday about 09.00 from the Big C near the airport.

Thanks Khondahm, I already have a PureVPN account. A bar owner in BKK showed me a slingbox he had set up to his Sky Box in the UK, and it was pretty impressive. You can get all the channels you can get on your Sky Box back home, not just the few on Sky Anywhere/Sky Go. This might give you an idea if...

I was going to go for the Phillips LED on the 1 day promotion too, but couldnt wait and bought a 42 inch plasma instead. Ask for Sam by name in Homepro, there isn't much he doesn't know. I've downloaded a good few movies around the 1.5Gb size, and the playback quality is excellent from a USB Memory ...
