Re: Which Hua Hin Area Attraction Is Your Number 1

Please tell more about the boat ride - I'm not aware of that one. Sorry Big Boy, I guess I shouldn't have included, it was my boat. But I do see a rental boat advertising on facebook. BTW you're welcome to a ride on mine! Just be aware of the no entry zone in front of the palace. Not very well defi...

Re: Thailand News Summary

We all know what the police are like, so it is difficult to understand just what is going on there. About all that we can be sure of is that the police will stick to their own story, no matter what the truth may be! If the police just deport the Kiwis without a jail sentence, then you can pretty muc...

Re: Thailand News Summary

Theres mention of a video of the incident, which according to a poster on the BP, paints a different picture. With the gun seemingly going off in the policemans hands all alone, and then the claim, they basically disarmed him, removed the ammunition from the gun and then waited for the police to ar...

Re: Buying meat

Until fairly recently I’ve never noticed it being a problem, but lately buying raw meat (normally chicken or pork) from Makro, I’ve noticed that unless you cook it within one day of purchase, there’s normally a very off-putting smell when you take the meat out of the bag. Has anybody else noticed t...

Re: Frigate damaged by ammunition from another naval ship

Unbelievable, bunch of eejits! I am surprised that they even admit that they knew there was a live "round" jammed in the gun.
As they have proven cable of sinking their own ships, I suppose it is to be expected! :tosser:

Re: Frigate damaged by ammunition from another naval ship

That gun on Frigates is used by many navies around the world: OTO Melara 76 mm I suspect that it was a training round without any projectile. Just smoke and noise! At point blank range any projectile, even non-explosive, would have caused serious damage to the ship in front of it! RSS_Valour_76mm_OT...

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

I put this here as general interest. Camping is big business in Australia, from simple one man tents, up to multiple berth trailers and caravans. Hundreds of places for overnight use, some of them provided free by local town councils to encourage tourist dollars. https://www.caravancampingsales.com....

Re: Frigate damaged by ammunition from another naval ship

Little children playing with guns! Can't wait to watch them playing with a submarine!

Not had anything to do with naval guns, but army practice was to always make sure guns were cleared where they could do no harm.

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

They certainly don’t make it easy, but having said that, I would assume that something like an imported VW Camper Van that was properly registered when it arrived would be fine as it’s well under the 3.5t limit, but then again, due to its rarity it will presumably command a hefty price!!
