Re: Khao Tao Lake

Having watched all of the building debris disposed of in the lake, I'd guess far too many snags for a fish to get caught on. However, don't forget, there is a virtual bridge that goes around 70% of the lake. That is where many locals fish for smaller fish. Also a refuge for the Monitor Lizards.

Re: Khao Tao Lake

Yes, but that path around the lake is used a lot by walkers/runners at those times. Fishermen aren't the tidiest of people, and I'd imagine leave a lot of trip hazards.

Re: Khao Tao Lake

Yes, it has loads of fish - I think stocked as a Royal initiative each year to feed the local people (I'm not sure about that, but they certainly put a lot of fish in each year). The snakeheads are the prized beasts, but you need live bait for those. Some very large fish, as well as all of the usual...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

A friend has just e-mailed me - her 90 day online report has just been rejected, so definitely still a 50/50 chance of acceptance.

No, the last time I was outside of Thailand was 2019.

Don't panic guys, the nice girl at Bluport more or less told me the computer was suffering a glitch. About a 50% chance of being accepted.

The one time I was caught, it was a mobile camera, and I received it in the post.

Re: Speed Cameras

berlinmichael, I travel that road daily, and apart from the cameras near Vana Nava, I can't spot any cameras. I'd love to know where they are. What I will say, is when I first came to Thailand, I didn't have a clue what the speed limit was and drove at UK speeds on motorways. Yes, I was caught by a ...

Re: RIP Frank Ifield

Strangely, as I read the subject, I remember you went through my mind :D

What I do remember is as a kiddie, trying to sing this one - badly, by the way (I wasn't a fan, but I think I had an auntie who was)

Re: Speed Cameras

Yes, I think we all start with 12 points and depending upon the severity of your offence, you are losing 1 or 2 points each time. When you get to zero, you lose your licence for a period.

Re: Birds of Thailand

Actually, we have a pole similar to yours right outside our house. I've often sat on our front porch watching Golden Tree Snakes going up and down the pole with ease. They are amazing if they lose their grip and fall a little. I could watch their recovery time and time again with astonishment.

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Coming back from Khao Tao, the road around Suan Son was very wet, with a lot of surface water. Coming down quite steadily at my house now - just off 94.

Looking at them tarting up the shoddy concrete work today, and I had a vision.................. As we've seen, about 2/3rds of the perimeter wall has been left open. I was thinking how modern it would look if those gaps were filled in with huge panes of black reflective glass. I'm not sure that it w...
