Re: Local road accident

I used to live in Phuket and drive from a small town called Chalong, to Patong for work everyday.

Re: UK Police report for retirement visa

High speed Internet

I've moved into an apartment which has the benefit of being provided free WIFI internet. However, there's no escape from Murphy's Law, and I now find myself to be victim to a firewall which was installed the day after I moved in. I went to Cat Telecom and True to try and get a hold of an alternative...
