There were two such fires in Cha Am this week. One, across from the ugly recycling shop lasted two days. The other, not far and in a field being cleared, was still going as we left this morning.

This just off Motorway 6 at Lam Takong in Korat.

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
I went to Australia last year in May and did the subsequent 90 Day report online. I just looked at the online receipt. I did the report, online, on July 11th last year.
Has the rule changed since then?

JIT Pochana Restaurant Permanently Closed
I guess I wasn't surprised to see that the Cha Am branch of JIT Pochana (จิตรโภชนา) is permanently closed. It opened about four years ago, after the original restaurant on the site (Alpaca?) closed. I suspect it was a bit upscale for the Cha Am crowd. We only went a few times; but always enjoyed the...

Re: Buying naan bread in Hua Hin
I agree. They keep well in the freezer and taste great when heated up a bit.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 12:38 pm Im not sure where else to buy them, but the frozen ones in Makro are the best supermarket naan that I can remember buying

Cha Am Beach Jammed Today
We scheduled our monthly Cha Am visit to avoid Songkran, hoping for the usual peaceful stay. We figured this weekend wouldn't be too busy. Boy, were we wrong. Although our condo is, as usual, mostly empty, the beach at noon today was jammed with cars parked all the way down to the south end. Ruamjit...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
I did it online last week. It was approved after a couple of days. The TM-47 that it produced has a space for the arrival card number, but it is blank. That wasn't asked for in the online form. . .

Re: The Beer Thread 2
I also enjoy the beer Lao IPA. I've always assumed that it is actually a hoppy lager rather than a true ale. On the other hand, Tawandang seems to claim (looking at the can) that their IPA is a true ale. That doesn't really matter, though, as long as you find one you like at a reasonable price. My c...

Re: Can you help identify the Buddha image style?
All very interesting. And having quickly read up on this and that the centre of Gandharan Buddhism was much further to the North and West, encompassing India and Afghanistan, is how such an image came to be in Phetchaburi in the first place? I was wondering the same thing. A style from two thousand...

Can you help identify the Buddha image style?
The photos below were taken in the cave that is up and behind Wat Tham Chaeng (วัดถ้ำแจง) which is adjacent to and reachable from the new Phetchaburi Immigration building. I've been there several times, but this last time I noticed that the large Buddha image inside is rather unusual for Thailand. T...

Re: The Beer Thread 2
Carabao owns CJ, and they're in direct competition with CP/Chang/Singh, which is a good thing. I was told that they're running a promo on their beers for Songkran. Still a shame that the small breweries have to charge so much for their products and availability is limited due to the monopolies' con...

Re: The Beer Thread 2
When visiting the local CJ Mart here in Korat was surprised to see all the Carabao/Tawandaeng beers (known locally as เบียร์เปา - Beer Bao) are heavily discounted at less than 50 baht for the large (490ml?) cans. The IPA is 49 baht while the lovely lager is 44 baht. I hope this doesn't spell the dem...
