After a little bit of research, it was not what I wanted, and I suspected it was lower specs and cheaper than what I ordered, so I cancelled the order. I am now waiting ...

Do you know where plastic waste in the oceans is coming from?

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

I'm watching series 6 ( the latest one) of Line of Duty, and Explosive is a good description. If you have not seen this before, then go back to series 1. It is about a police anti corruption unit in the UK.

I reckon that the beach hotel in episode 2 was in Hua Hin, I thought that it was Kaew Takieb in the background.

Re: Golf GPS Laser(not watch)

I bought one at the Hua Hin Golf Shop, it's a Chinese version, but does the job. The shop is near the railway track, north of the station and roundabout, near Tira Tiraa condo.

Re: Water pump problem

To me this sounds like the non return valve is leaking, probably just dirty. This is located on the inlet side of your pump, and is fairly easy to clean. If you are not sure than there are a few people around who can fix this in less than 30 minutes.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Just watching Des, a new ITV series about Dennis Nilsen, it has great reviews, and is well worth it. David Tennant does a brilliant job in it, even gets the accent spot on.

Re: Minivan, bus and road accidents

In the UK, it took a generation from the 1960's to convince the majority of people that drink driving was socially unacceptable, they are now successfully campaigning against speeding.

Re: Flying into Thailand, latest updates

There is one more additional point, people flying from Thailand to quite a few countries, including the UK, have to self isolate on their return, adding another 2 weeks on to their holiday.
