I checked into the FAQs of worldwind, and from what I understand they get their data from Landsat 7 and reprocess this. The best resolution they can get from this is 15 meters per pixel. However, most places are shown at 30 meters per pixel at this stage. It doesn't get any better than 15m/ pixel. T...

The Thai way of saying' "Youyou" but with a smile. As a non-Thai you'd get away with it.

I'd use "Pi krab" in the future.

Installing an alarm can sometimes backfire. Especially if it triggers when you're not there and annoys the neighbours. Hardwiring door and window switches are messy, and if they really do want to come in they'll just use the roof... PIR are not so effective in this weather, and is prone to false ala...

At least in HH you're *safe* if you walk on the footpath. In Bangers, the motorcyclists use the footpath to beat the traffic, don't be surprised to have a motorcycle tooting his horn at you to get out of his way... :guns: And have you seen those upside-down plastic buckets that pass as an excuse for...

I found it disappointing. Form your own opinion. You can get the download here.

There are two situations here. The first is on the social level, where everyone is assumed to be on an even playing field. Friends of a friend, relatives of the wife, people you meet at a dinner... In this instance, it's always better to err on the side of caution, so if you're not sure, use "P...

If it's anywhere else other than the beach or the poolside, it's not acceptable IMO. Topless (and in some cases bottomless) ladies in the go-gos are acceptable only in that one venue; I'd feel uncomfortable if a dancer popped out to the McD's in Patpong for a quick burger and was waiting in the queu...

Err... Dr Dave

surely you meant AISI 316 L medical grade stainless steel instead?

Would you expect it to be hallmarked in any way?

Yes, it should have a stamp identifying it's fineness somewhere on the item. For 22 carat gold, it is 916.

The difference is in the number of carats. Most of the gold sold in other parts of the world is the 18 carat variety. It is preferred as it is fairly robust. The gold you get here is of the 22 carat variety. It is purer, but a lot softer, and so may not keep it's shape over time. Pure gold is 24 car...

I've used the FTA satellite for many years, and have recently changed over to digital. There are two main suppliers of equipment, PSI satellite and Dynasat. I would recommend you look up the www.dynasat.com website, although most of it is in Thai. A moving dish setup for home use starts at around 22...

Erm... first off, I hadn't realised that the SGA flights had been covered in some quite recent posts here. The reason being, I won't use an air service as I have my own jalopy and will load the family up (the relatives too) on the ocassional weekend and trundle down the road to HH. As for Pattaya, j...

Reading the online version of today's Bangkok Post I came across an article on the ways to get to Hua Hin. Imagine my surprise when they said there is an air taxi service 4 times a day! http://www.bangkokpost.com/en/081205_Horizons/08Dec2005_hori02.php The company's name is SGA Aero and they operate...

There are so many Thai /Chinese that they are really just accepted as normal and not really mind if they do not speak Chinese. :thumb: Cheers ------------------------ HH Classic Scooters Which is sometimes quite a pity as some businesses depend on their ability to speak and write the language of th...

I don't think you can *really* generealise. You've got to see which particular cross-section you're examining, then you've got your average for that cross-section. Example: most of my wife's colleagues are holders of at least one degree, many (including her) have their masters. Their salary range is...
