Siam Addict

Ever since the recent upgrade I have not been able to log into Thailand-247 from my home computer, I can access the site as a guest but not able to contribute. It told me my password was wrong, I did try and email the Mods but no reply. Two days ago I logged onto my laptop to check it is still working and I could access all the sites I would need while in Thailand. I was able to log straight into this site, but still not from my home computer? So good news I'm now back in Thailand. A couple of early points from this trip are that I landed at Swampy Saturday at 4pm and the gate was opposite immigration, and nobody queing so it was straight through to baggage. Due to the speed getting there I did have a 15-20 minute wait here. Then straight out and into the waiting Cab. Two and half hours from touchdown I was at the hotel, the traffic in Pattaya was heavy, otherwise I could have knocked 10-15 minutes of that time. Early impressions are the the streets are busy, there are a few bars either closed or have no staff. But of the bars open and with a decent number of staff most of them were busy. I have noticed that there are quite a few empty shops including 7/11's and Family marts. One plus point was I Rover was busy this morning with quite a few people watching American football and basketball, the full breakfast is still as good as it always has been!

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. ...I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now...

Great map, never realised that there was that many shops on this road. Look forward to exploring it in December.
