Beer Chang

In Bonfire of the Vanities aomeone chucked a half empty bottle of mayo at the mayor of New York.

Good move Thaimo!!

I was booked ofr the last flight of the day but arrived at airport early and asked about taking an earlier flight and they said no way Jose. I hate their attitude but am willing to put up with it because of price.

I'm used to zippers, the buttons really dig into my thumb.

I would have never read the story in the first place if the headline was Serious Injuries Caused By Boat's Propeller. Guess I'm an Inquiring Mind?

Very subjective. But Soi VC seemed to have more traffic the year before.

Walking Street was packed New Year's Eve, seemed more crowded than last year.

We're dumbing down the planet!

Yes. I'd never buy jeans without trying them on. But it's not like an airconditioned Gap changing room. The guy with the most jeans has a dirt floor and it's not a comfortable situation. The other guy has a concrete floor but not a great selection of jeans but 80 baht denim shirts, kind of useless in Thailand but good to bring home.

And the USA "economically and culturally" invade and occupy much of the world. Mickey D's Micahel Jax et al

Especially since they're trying to attract the "right kind of tourists".

Don't know anything about it. But would like to.

Certainly not looking askance at asking young people. That's the way I find out about them now. I'd still like to see a website though.

The last store you get to before the driveway is a furniture store.

Bought a pair of used Levis for 500 baht at the Tuesday/Friday market.

Wondering if you mean about 75% or closer to 95%?

Thanks gents!

Absolutely, but perhaps they don't want to give the guests a heads up that their hotel is in an undesirable location. Profits over people.

The Nation.

53 drownings is a very surprising number. That's one a week. Which are the dangerous beaches and are certain times of the year more dangerous than others?

The system is broken if filing a return is too complicated for the the average taxpayer. People filing short forms shouldn't have to go to places like H&R Block. I spend far too much time on my taxes but if I used an accountant there's still be prep work and I'd still have to doublecheck everything the accountant did. It's also important that I completely understand the process for proper prospective tax planning. But Turbo Tax and their competitors are good to doublecheck my return as well as experimenting with "what if" calculations.

Chon Buri - A Russian tourist was cut in half by propellers of a speedboat off Pattaya coast Monday afternoon, police said. Police said two tourists were hit by propellers of a two-engine speedboat, Kantalak 409, near Koh Larn off Pattaya's coast in Bang Lamung district at 2 pm while the two were scuba diving at the spot. One of them was cut in half and another went missing. The two tourists have yet to be identified.

In prior years I've used websites such as Turbo Tax to just doublecheck my calculations but will probably file electronically this year.

PTA, like most organizations, will spin things however they want

My guess is about 2 and half kilometeres from Sukhumvit.
