Yeah, Chiang Mai is where I'd really like to go but a little part of me is a little worried about getting stuck there when I need to get back to Bangkok.
We had a Cyclone here where I live this year, and all airports were closed and flights cancelled. I was actually meant to fly on that day so think I have a little bit of PTSD about it
Krabi, Phuket and the Andaman Islands get the Monsoon worst and I've already been to both. Flights to those and Chiang Mai are cheap.The Gulf Islands, Koh Samui are much better weather but a return flight there from Bangkok is almost as expensive as what I have paid to get to Bangkok from my home in Australia!! Seems Bangkok Airways gave the monopoly and are the only airline to fly there within Thailand. Could get a train and Boat there but all my research says not advisable during Monsoon season to rely on ferries.
In fairness, it seems that many people say it's a great time to visit as downpours can be intense but brief and interspersed with nice weather quite often. The problem is you never know. When it's a bad storm it doesn't look like fun.
Heading there on Friday. It's actually a planned trip that has gone pear-shaped in that I was going to go with a mate to Hua Hin to hang out and play Golf. He's now had to pull out so I'm going on my own.
Intended to just go for a wander somewhere on my own channelling my old backpacking days, but have now discovered that it's monsoon season and it's going to be pretty wet in most areas. There has been flooding in some parts. Wanted to have a look at Chiang Mai but seems the North gets the rain worst of all. So guess I'm just going to make it up as I go along after Bangkok ...
Also hoping the game will be on somewhere even though it will be a 2am kick off locally. At least it's a city where a lot of bars will be open.
Not sure if it's been discussed but what was the bandage on Ivan's hand about? Is this something to do with the medical problem that we used to get a more favourable deal.
Agree. Every successful promoted team has not a good, but a great goalkeeper. Unfortunately, Palmer isn't that far up the scale. I mean, these two penalties we conceded. I never thought for one second that he would possibly make the save.
I'm someone who didn't think we were THAT bad on Saturday. As it was the early hours of the morning when the game finished I went straight to bed. When I woke in the morning and came on the board I was surprised at some of the vitriol towards the team in threads.
We had to bed in a lot of players last season who then got injured. So now we are in a position where we are bedding in new players with players who are still finding their feet.
I believe it will click and that when we do we are going to give somebody a real hammering.
We desperately need another out and out striker though and unfortunately also feel we need a better keeper.
Haven't been on since the season before last. How do you get it to full screen? Can't seem to do it ... Ad for Stadium tours on the right and ticker tape news along the bottom. Driving me nuts ...
Is this just because it's the preview show and it'll change fir the game or am I being thick?
Ashley Young looked like a Premier League player amongst a bunch of Championship level players. Absolute class and others around him improved after he came on too.
I just don't think we will see the best of Clarke while ge is on the left with Leif. Clarke's best performance was when he was playing over there with Townsend.
I, just once, would like to see him played in the role he had at Sunderland, Hugging the touchline and cutting in.
Feel sorry for him. Just looks lost most of the time.
This has crossed my mind too. Yes, not so much quality but we're playing this like some Prem teams did against us last season. Hopefully, the class and experience will show this half.
Haha, it really is rubbish the town TV have not been able to sort this out for us. I had a bit of fun with this the season before last and from memory this is what I did ...
1. Log into Town TV on a computer, cover the screen but for the right hand edge with a tea towel, and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
2. Now move the tea towel leaving a little of the screen showing at the bottom and scroll up until you see the replay. Any spoilers will be above the replay as the page loads in order with the latest headlines at the top.
3. Still using the tea towel covering most of the screen ( as you can't be sure the score isn't shown) find the play button which should be at the bottom of the screen exposed and hit play.
Remove the tea towel and Voila!
Can also be done with a tablet. Not sure if it would work with a phone.
I'm pretty sure that was what worked for me. High Tech eh ...... Hilarious!
