You can bow out if you want to, but I wasn't even referring to your post. Snarky? Moi? Don't blame the other moderators. The only snarky one was me. I'll have to take your word for it that my comments were snarky. After all, you're the expert on those kinds of comments . . .

Ok, I thought I bought smoked bacon, but you know much more about these things than I do, so I defer to you. Next time I'll ask specifically for smoked bacon and see how I like it. All of what is sold at Mr. Moo and AKA beats hell out of anything I've ever tried from the grocery stores and I definitely have no complaints if it's less expensive. And even more important, it sure is gooooooood!

Thank you for posting that. There goes my shortcut . . .

Here's some more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3rtHfoCKi4 And here (many more videos and statements): http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/news/education/022410_Harriton_High_School_Assistant_Principal_Statement In one of the videos the student brought out that nobody has accused the assistant principal of having anything to do with activating the web cam, but obviously somebody did and the resulting photo was used in disciplinary action against him. Some answers that would interest me are why was the web cam activated in the first place? When the web cams are activated, the school is saying that they only take a photo. How is that done? Is the web cam activated and then instant takes a photo and then deactivated or does someone sit there watching until they have what they need for the photo? How do they know that they won't inadvertently catch someone in a compromising position or embarrassing moment? By the school's own admission, there have been 42 times when their web cams were remotely activated. If they're searching for stolen computer, how do they know whether the computer they wish to search is even turned on? If, as the school district claims, the use of the photos is for the sole purpose of trying to find a missing computer, then why was this boy even called into the assistant principal's office at all? The school district admits they didn't inform students or parents that they even have this capability. Why didn't they? If they activated the system 42 times, when will it be made pubic whose computers were activated and what was seen on the photos in those cases?

You might as well forget it. Some people just insist on trying to prove themselves right about the correct term to use. I don't understand it either. Who cares what it's called? It's what you can do that counts, not what term to use for what you're doing. It would seem to me that the common sense approach is to walk into either Bangkok Bank or Bank of Ayudhya with your debit card and passport in hand, go to a teller, withdraw the money you want, and see if you too are charged only $3. After your money is in your wallet, that's when to worry about whether to call it a cash advance, a cash withdrawal, or whatever the hell else sounds like a really great term to use.

I don't see what difference it makes what it's called. The point is that people are trying to find ways to cut back on ATM fees. Lvdkeyes takes his ATM debit card to the banks he mentioned and is not charged those fees when he withdraws money from his account via a bank teller instead of using an ATM. He's been trying to point out that everyone else who uses a foreign debit card can probably do the same thing. Whether it's called a cash advance or something else, it seems to me that is irrelevant. No matter what the correct term may be, if you withdraw money the same way he does, you can save a bundle.

Yes.

Sheeeeesh! I'm not sure what the weight was, but the packet I bought at AKA had about 12 slices of bacon. You know how much I paid? 46 baht! The price was similarly low at Mr. Moo. I think I'll stick to buying at those two places . . .

The operative word is "should." Also, quite often when I read articles about these arrests, the criminal hasn't reported his address or renewed his visa for ages.

I finally got around to trying AKA. They have many items that I've never seen elsewhere. I did try their "streaky bacon," the same kind I tried from Mr. Moo. I liked the bacon at Mr. Moo better than the AKA bacon. I think locals ought to give both of them a try. You're bound to prefer one over the other and the quality at each is much better than anything I've ever found in any of the grocery stores. Both AKA and Mr. Moo have many products besides just bacon. I think it's worth checking out both of them. When I want bacon, sausage, and several other products, AKA and Mr. Moo are going to be the places I shop for them from now on.

For what it's worth, my GPS lists only one hotel within the city, however there seems to be plenty in fairly close proximity to the city. The one in the city is the Amonthep Hotel, telephone 045 679 131. I'm guessing your reason for going there has to do with visiting a Thai person, whether it is a boyfriend of someone else. If that is the case, wouldn't it make more sense to let him find a hotel or other accommodation for you?

Sleep well? Oh yes, I remember that . . .

Probably finding them.

I can't answer your other questions, but for this question the answer is yes.

Actually it's called Buffalo Bill. I went by this evening. It's in an obscure spot, to say the least. You saw one customer. I saw no customers at all. Several boys, but no customers. It's a beer host bar, no different from what you would typically find in Sunee Plaza. I think whoever opened this bar forgot about "location, location, location." I also think he forgot that if you're going to open a host bar outside the popular area, not only does it need to be easy to find (and don't think it is), but it needs to offer something unique to attract people away from the Sunee Plaza bars. If there is anything especially unique about it, I missed it. In my opinion, unless whoever opened the bar wanted his own private bar and has the money to support it, I don't see how it stands much of a chance. If you are in the area, drop by. Other than that, I really don't know why anyone would make a special trip unless you find one of the boys to be particularly attractive.

Then I'm the exception. We all know what we think the decision will be. I think so too. But until the ruling is handed down we don't know anything. Here's why I don't take anything political or the outcome of court cases for granted:

Busy with body builders? The times I have gone to Babylon Sauna, I've never seen any body builders there. I see some muscular guys using the exercise room, but have never seen anything close to the type run26mile is trying to find. I think he'll have much better luck at California Wow and the Hero Massage, although I don't know why he doesn't simply stick to the Tawan bar, where he is guaranteed to find what he wants.

You were probably looking at the intersection of Sukhumvit and Soi Khaotolo. There is a large field there and the Red-Shirts have set up shop there several times. Among other things, they sell the red shirts along with other Red-Shirt souvenirs. They also set up tables, microphones, etc. The trucks probably hold those supplies. I fully expect to see them setting up there any time now, in anticipation of the February 26 Supreme Court ruling about Thaksin and the money. I won't call it his money at this point because that's what the Supreme Court will decide.

Maybe not, but I would think if someone comes along offering enough money, they might be very interested.

I believe I said much of the Thai food is spiced up. I don't know why you think I said all of it. I'll live without the interest. I don't want any hot spices in my food. The only interest it would provide for me is apprehension as to how much it will cause me to suffer.

That, by the way, is Pradipat Soi 20. Also, at the end of that soi is the Embassy Hotel. It can be used as a short time hotel or you can stay there. It's rather seedy and run down, maybe a notch or two below the Malaysia Hotel, but at least it's right there if you want to stay close to the Saphan Kwai venues. It's also convenient to the Chatuchak weekend market. The last time I checked, about 2 or 3 years ago, the farang price was 700 baht per night. Their number is 02 279 2641 if you want to make a reservation, although reservations are probably not really necessary.
