Re: Bolt ride hailing app

I use Grab from time to time in Bkk, usually when I want to go somewhere (from Thonglor) not covered by the extended BTS/MRT. One of those is a regular trip to Phaya Thai (nearest BTS Victory Monument, but traffic always bad), in time to keep an appointment to get my hearing aids cleaned and servic...

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread

Yes he's probably thinking of me.

I've seen a few poor movies lately

But one very good one was....

Society of the Snow(netflix)

Excellent remake of the film 'Alive' with Ethan Hawke

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

An Aussie Mini Series "Boy Swallows Universe" is certainly not a "Neighbours" spin off! Could well be up your street though buks... (Yep, Pun failed...) Set in Brisbane in the mid 80's and follows Eli, a young teenager with an addict mother, a drug dealing father, a mute brother...

Re: Premier League 2023-24

Well, Liverpool looked good tonight - 4-1 against Chelsea and pretty sure it should have been more (despite the fact Chelsea should have had a penalty). Still can't understand how the feck you can miss the goal from a spot kick though.... I could get it on target despite using a bloody crutch (and ...

Re: Bolt ride hailing app

I will not disagree with anything anybody says about Bolt - I've only used them once. The one thing I think we'd all agree on is Thailand does have some very bad drivers, and on this occasion I hired one of them. Maybe he was just P'd at the fact we refused to walk to the end of the Soi, and he wan...

Re: Bolt ride hailing app

Thats what I was going to suggest, there must be a feedback option to report bad or dangerous drivers. I've used bolt for cars and bikes on an almost daily basis for 2 years and very rarely have an issue. I have had hundreds Some cars are older but generally no difference to Grab cars I get asked f...

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread

Saltburn is terrific. Heads-up: there's a slightly homoerotic edge running through the film but it's NOT a gay film and that's not the story, not at all (slow-burning psychological thriller, cleverly focused on class differences)! I really enjoyed this. Second heads-up: it's very fked up in parts, ...

Re: Indian restaurants in Hua Hin

I just passed by there two days ago and reminded myself to visit it soon. I’ve heard good things. That whole area is really getting some exciting new venues. I still suggest you try SHIVA which has been very good for years and in a nice garden too! Yeah, been there. It’s not bad at all. Not in my t...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Fargo has started again with series 5, haven't started it yet but looking forward to if as good as previous seasons. Just binged half of season five, outstanding stuff as usual. May go back and rewatch the early seasons of Fargo, the Billy Bob Thornton one was superb. I binged the whole series toda...

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

Yes, T&M, I’ve been seeing their posts on FB over the past month or two, and their food looks really, really good. I’m very much looking forward to giving them a try. Yes I tried it(the breakfast) a few weeks ago thought it was 'good'. Not as good as Nits on 102 though IMHO, wish it was as TM m...

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic

Whilst discussing HH hospital(move if necessary please) I learned last night of the story of a friend of mine who I knew was quite recently in a motorcycle accident. He was taken to HH hospital, had x rays(or MRI I'm not sure) and was diagnosed with having a fractured pelvis. So consequently he then...

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic

I think (not sure) that the location of this clinic has moved to the 2nd floor (same building). I was at HHH today for some tests, and was shocked to see the 'original' 2nd floor outpatients clinic (old building) had completely vanished. It was just an large empty room. I was told the old outpatien...

I dont know much but it appears it was a motorbike accident, if I hear any more details of the funeral arrangements I will post. That's very sad but it explains some things as I find it hard to believe he was in such poor health as to pass away so quickly. He was a great guy to do business with, ve...

Re: Fish & Chips

Which do most prefer, Cod or Haddock? I don't have F&C often enough to remember which I've had, and the difference. It does seem though that if no Cod, Haddock is the go to fish here. I assume both are imported. Is there a locally caught fish that is also sometimes used? :cheers: Well, purely f...
