Great article Bruce!

The jeep is a good choice, lots of grunt for a decent price currently and a covered back. The Toyota Tiger is THE 4x4 to have if you want to modify as there's such much gear available at decent...

The new Pickled Liver is also opening this week - same owner (nice chap) different location

Sun shines on my drinking routes again

Great - I luv the buffalo with the two birds!!!!

The "Old Bulls Head" site is now reopen (soft opening no food yet) and I have to say, credit were credits due! Its very nice inside. They have not made many changes but the changes they have made are...

Glad to see all of that tax money I gave them is being used well - keep it up, I am sure I will need you someday

very interesting, if it is true then I for one hope they all will head back to soi 33/1. Same pub, same staff, all they need is to get Billy back and I would be one happy old codger. I miss muttering...

There seems to be no secret about why the landlord and management reached an impasse. It was simply that they had not been able to resolve their differences on the new lease agreement and terms. The...

It (old Bull's Head) will be renamed as the ROYAL OAK. New manager has been hired already. New opening will be announced soon.

Probably belongs to the Robin Hood owners now.

Apparantly will be reopen in 3-4 weeks under Robin Hood ownership.

PLUS Bulls Head apparently looking to open Bulls Head "2" in same general area....

Bulls Head is shut already. Mysteriously 4 days early.

Sad day

On the back of the recent closure of the Pickled Liver, the Bulls Head has also been affected and will close its doors on Thursday 14th of July! 17 years after it opened.

Both pubs are now looking...

Hi Mobs,

After several botched attempts I cant figure out how to load up flickr vdos so its going to have to be some links....

About 150 meters from the digs at the first location, while...

Whats the point getting hot under the collar over this. Its the simplest thing in the world to get around.

Plus can you imagine a single park ranger or employee who is going to enforce it?

Now...

The SR makes a wonderful sound!

for info on the lowering kit and people who have done it you need to check the kawasakiversys (one word) forum

I read it a lot before dropping my foot-pegs and raising the handlebars to achieve...

Fabulous!

I think another very easy way to support conservation is buy Bruce's books.

His work, commitment and passion ,nay love, for the forests have an amazing effect on raising awareness. As he is doing...

Its not somewhere I would go for a break but I went about 6 or 7 times when I was a diver. Its a fab critter diving spot.

Am in two minds about it. The GS800 has it in the looks category still IMHO

1) You can stay as long as you want
2) Advanced reservations are for accommodation bookings, you can book them onsite also on an as available basis.
3) Sorry never been to Turatao so have no...

Wow, I need a certificate like that

As a piece of "journalism" its so one sided it reminds of the old Not the Nine O'clock News skit.....................

....today 900 people died in a landslide in Bolivia whilst 1200 people were...

ahh thats nice

My Vigo has just passed 140k. Just cost me 37,000 to service and steering parts replacement as well as work on the fuel sys.

Only other things done was an upgrade of suspension and tyres around...

Have not been myself but was told the food is as good as the Dubliners used to be (and that was fantastic). Its free beer tonight (Sep 22) as well for the official opening

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. I called True out royally but when the technician finally came to the appt he found that the "splitter box" on the telephone was broken, he changed it and...

God bless him, an honest copper?

He should be good at raising funds then.

13,650 on a 4 year old Vigo

All great shots but I really love the Tapir shots.

The Dubliner's food has gone way way down hill in my opinion. Have been twice in the last 3 months to meet visitors as I used to love the food there. Never again.

Thaksin's Children starving (?),,,,,,,

Asked if he would accept the posts again if the Cambodian government wanted to reappoint him, Thaksin replied: "No more. Let me do something else. I'd better...

My favourite waterfall in Pang Sida....


Namtok Pha Takien Trek. This a waterfall site in one of the streams that feeds the Pang Sida waterfall. The fall is dry throughout the dry season. Also,...

Great posts!

As an update to this, I had a very very good talk with Freeland and was most impressed at their willingness to go through the possibilities with me and identify a project that was very compatible...

re Pang Sida. i think the issue is the road (Thanon Daeng) and the amount of traffic on it making wildlife very wary. They have just started controlling it a lot more and you now have to sign in at...

Spooky - the tiger I saw was at 11 minutes past 11

"remembered"...

Dream of a thousand lives, by Karen Connelly

Teo great travel books on Thailand...

1) Steve van Beek - Slithering South

2) and theres another one that the name escapes me, its about a young Canadian girl who spends a year in a Thai...

Sorry I could not resist.

Many thanks, I think I have found it now, PBS are rerunning it as "Evolution".

Is that the evolution and extinction documentary? Did you see it on the TV or through the net? I have always wanted to see that as its referenced in the WCS Tiger report.

I read this when I first came to Thailand. My boss insisted. It really is good and the most fascinating thing about it is .... its timeless, nothing has changed. Its not only relevant it a damn good...

Neither a butterfly nor a moth, its a lantern bug as Larn says

Judging from what its sat on it would be a "garden fence lizard" (its not a windup either)

So there is an indigenous life form developing and evolving in Mexico and the only bad thing stated {in your cut and paste]} is that it outputs CO2. And how is this going to make Thailand's beaches...

BP will lurve you
