Re: Thailand near bottom for English proficiency
But ,of course, the children of the wealthy Thais are being sent ti the expensive International Schools where they are educated in English and have good reading, writing skills and are quite fluent.

Re: Music in the Bars on Bintablock
Thereis a bar Papapolo, opposite from Havanna Bar. They have girls dancing on a stage, not particularly sexily dressed (or undressed), No chrome poles--Could this be a trend, will others follow, will the clothes change, will the BIB allow it???

Re: One year back
HHF, the 30lb weight loss is impressive, I know you were held a prisoner in your house bythe heat, now I assume you are more mobile--is that responsible and what about dietary changes. I am sure that you keep up with Thai news, the politics must look even more bizarre from a distance.

Re: Hua Hin Restaurant News
food [Mod Edit - name inserted to give post meaning] at Victoria is good but itsa dump. Order and pay and they will hand carry it to you in neighboring bars who seem happy to let you eat thee as long as you order a drink. I use Dragon Bar--now renamed Joe's Bar

Re: Camera and photography thread
BB I know people like me exasperate people like you.
I connected the camera, pics came up, not the NEW ones. I looked at all the items r &L clicked on everyone but no sign of File Manager. How do you find FM and how the h** do you learn these tricks, they are never in the instruction booklets.

Re: Premier League 2015-2016
I'm becoinga big LC supporter as I find it very insulting that all the 'experts' are forecasing a huge collapse sometime soon. I find that the bookies are the best experts and they all have LC, not top, but in the top 4 at the end of the season.
