Just a few pics i snapped while i was over there and stuck in my Gallery.

Was a great trip. Went over there with Lowthy and his bro/bros mate. Great people to go on a trip with as well.

Also we were out with a 5th member - a friend who is living there at the moment.

I was amazed at the quality of food, simply nothing you can even dream of here in a "Thai" restaurants that ive ever been to.

And was just amazing the price aswell, so cheap.

Big thumbs up to Sidey/Jason. Not many would know him around here, those on LS1 and FA will know him well.

I reckon he made the trip sensational. Showed us many great eating places, and as i love food... it was win-win.

Knew all the clubs/bars that were good and generally a bloody champion :P

So enough talking.

Onto some pics

lol... you went to thailand and didn't take any pics of 1JZ cefiros? pffft.

actually when I saw this thread I thought it'd be full of your misadventures with ladyboys. :D

Headed to Bangkok, down the Sukhumvit area. Staying on Soi 18 if your more detailed with it all.

Was dodgy in some respect yes, but meh. I cant say i felt unsafe or anything. If anything i felt quite a bit safer than being in some places of Melb.

Not everywhere is the same as Australia, and than god as the world wouldn't be worth exploring if that was the case :D

I only saw one Cefiro the whole time actually.

And i didn't have my camera on me at the time... should i have been expecting to see 100's? :D

Sorry to disappoint you Shan, no ladyboy adventures!

I recognise a few of the pics from my holiday there last year. We were at The Pennisula which was on the main river in Bangkok, then headed down to Pattaya Beach but were in the country for 3 days.

Has been quiet without you! :D

I was there at bangkok earlier this year too. Made a trip to the HKS thailand, was quite a mission getting there as the taxi driver did not exactly knew where it was. However, he immediately know where it was after i pointed a ricey HKS sticker on his cab , lol. No skylines at the HKS shop , but s15's 350z's with rb26 in them with huge single conversions.

Like Ash said, food there is simply amazing, so is the price. Recommended holiday destination ~

oh thailand. what a great place for a cheap getaway. i was in phuket, and the islands.

as mentioned, best thai food you'll ever have. and great seafood. so fresh and cheap. and how about their fruit. oh man, i wanna go back

some of their 'hot' dishes made my eyes water. upside - nothing here is too hot anymore :D

One thing i didnt try was the fruit actually... some of it looked really interesting.

But yeah, without knowing whats good and whats not, i dont want to go eating something that might not agree lol.

Yeah, there was one hot dish that made me know i was alive... twice... :sorcerer: :P

I forgot to tell u to go to my shop in Siam Square opp. MBK and Discovery Centre;s....also next time go to the north of thailand and stay in my house - although I thinnk its not quite finished!

Sukhumvit is the main road...so thats like the whole of the man city! soi 18 is the 18th street off Sukhumvit...big dodge....

As for Food...

MK Duck is the best...no1 can doubt that

Hows the new airport? my wife just few back and said its pretty friggen big now.

You have a shop over there? lol! SIF not tell me that last week.

Was @ MBK on two occasions, so i would have had a look :worship:

Ye, i get how the roads work, took a bit of getting used to though.

The public transport absolutely shits on Melb though.

Man the Airport is just huge, my pics dont even begin to give you an idea... its just massive.

Its beyond big, takes nearly 15mins walk from the check-in to the boarding gate if you don't use the travelator things.

how much did you spend roughly for the whole trip? how was it there not speaking thai? did your companions speak thai or does everyone sorta understand english there?

thought it was all 3rd world over there, didnt know they had any decent cities lol. get to see any live muay thai?

Didnt need to speak Thai - Although my mate who lives there knows a reasonable amount as he lives there, so that helped a lot.

But most people speak english enough to get by we found.

You can pick up basic things if your good at that sort of thing.

Knowing how to explain in their language where your hotel is makes a MASSIVE difference ;)

There are a couple of websites for basic phrases, and hotel staff will help you if you ask.

I spent in the 5 days - $730 or there abouts. Massages, lunches/dinners, trains/taxi's, drinks/snacks/mid-arvo beers, also night club entries (the after 1am places have cover charge to pay off the cops).

We also partied pretty hard a few nights which was cheaper than Melb by a long shot, but still not exactly free.

Depending on how much shopping and stuff you purchase will dictate how much you spend i reckon. Stuff is cheap, but if you go on a rampage you will rack up a few hundred there easily.

I wouldnt call it 3rd world, but its poverty and riches living side-by-side almost.

    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I dried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4     I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the casing. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I overcome one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
