How about Borneo, there are direct flights from Bangkok to Kota Kinabalu and then you can rent a car to travel around, go to Mount Kinabalu which is the highest mountain in Borneo and Malaysia. With an elevation of 4,095 metres, it is the third-highest peak of an island on Earth, the 28th highest pe...

Re: Rug Cleaning

At Market Village in the basement, as you go down the stairs from the front entrance, there's a carpet seller who also offers carpet cleaning, come to your house. You can show him a photo and he'll give you an estimate

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

I started and managed the pool for what a decade +?, and I wasn't even keen then! :laugh : I simply don't see it as a sport, but a manipulated entertainment extravaganza. Everything about it is managed and controlled, every nut and bolt, and I'm sure the type of underwear the drivers wear! :shock: ...

Yes this has always shocked me to the utmost.
Glad to read there's an improvement in attitudes.
Hope everything is fine for you.

Re: Hua Hin To Start Charging For Chatchai Parking From 15 Feb

Went again to G-Untung pharmacy this morning around 11am. My husband parked in a proper allocated space, waited a good 20 minutes whilst I got the medicine, nobody came to ask for parking fee. No attendent in site.

Re: What's the attraction of living in Cha-am?

We chose Cha Am area because it is quieter and not too far from major towns. Also we are at approximately 5 minutes from the nearest beach by motorbike. In Europe we lived in the countryside, about 25km from the big town, so a little similar. I wouldn't say it's cheaper than HH, although a few year...

Big Boy wrote: Sun Feb 18, 2024 11:58 am Yes, but we're talking "very nice oblong pork pies with eggs in it (I think it's called Gala pie) at reasonable price." I would think if veal in Thailand, the price would become untouchable.
This is the pork pie, 780 grams at 249 baht

Re: Western Food Supplies in Cha-am

Been opened about a couple of months, similar to AP Interfoods, good choice of various, mainly British, food. They have very nice oblong pork pies with eggs in it (I think it's called Gala pie) at reasonable price (but forgot how much). Being new, everything looked clean and organised - I’ve used A...
