Re: Flooring help needed

You have probably seen the following, but look at this. http://www.conwood.co.th/upload/color_1343214306.pdf One problem with Conwood is that you do not know exactly what its composition is. Although it is probably basically portland cement, there is no way of knowing what additives there is in it t...

Re: Hua Hin Beach Polo Championship 2014 (Report & Photos)

You need to get one of those "press cards" Big Boy, as what you have posted is much better than any reporter would have done! :thumb: I must say that the horses all appeared to be well looked after and in good condition, and properly turned out. A bit of a surprise really, but I guess it i...

Re: The new Venezia Shopping complex

I still wonder if traders signed up to renting outlets at Venezia with the knowledge that an admission fee would be introduced. I know for a fact that Villa Market are objecting to the owners about the 50 Baht. While it is possible to enter Villa without going through the main gate, they still feel...

Re: Govt prepares for Songkran traffic chaos

By all reports the rush for home started last night. Nereus should be seeing the activity by now. Pete :cheers: I don`t know, Pete. I think a lot of them may have stretched the break another couple of days, telling their boss they could not get back through the traffic jams! Sukhumvit was only busy...

Re: Steam train to Bangsaphan?

I doubt very much if the engine in Hua Hin will be fired up anytime soon. If you do happen to hear that it is going to be fired up, stay well away! The thing is over 50 years old, and although that in itself does not make it unrecoverable, it has been parked out in the open for many years, and the b...

There are several preserved steam trains still running in Thailand. The following is just one of them:

Re: Govt prepares for Songkran traffic chaos

From where I am around Sukhumvit 48 / 50 there is no sign of the returning hordes. I can see both Sukhumvit and the first stage expressway, and both are deserted. Dread to think just how it will be when the traffic starts to hit the city area.

Re: Swiss Sheep Farm, Cha-Am

They may well be taking care of the sheep, but there is at least one young idiot there that is damn lucky he did not get my walking stick wrapped around his head. One of the horses used for riding would not do as he demanded, mainly because of the way he was going about it. He then wacked it over th...

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!

The wife heard/read on the Thai news that on Tuesday a PTT station in the middle of Rayong city filled their diesel tank with E85. :shock: Apparently 100+ cars filled up before it was discovered. I would imagine that those 100+ drove about 2km and then stalled out. That area of Sukhumvit highway an...

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!

What the diagram doesn't show is after Petrol you would have AF or Aviation Fuel with a higher octaine value. Not sure just what aeroplanes you fly kendo, but the fuel used in piston engined aircraft is usually referred to as "avgas". It is just "petrol" with after refining addi...
