  1. CITI Banks also don't charge an ATM fee (or didn't). But I've heard questionable things about their exchange rate. In BKK there is a CITI Bank at the corner of Asoke and Sukhumvit. Maybe someone has better/recent details.

    In BKK I've used the ATM at AEON Branch Terminal 21. Click on Larry's link and then click: Branch Network It is #7. It's about 1000 feet farther up Asoke in a skyscraper just off Asoke. It's a regular branch bank and the ATMs are inside. Unsure about availability at night. Is there one closer to NEP?

    The AEON ATM at Big C Extra (formally Carrefour) on Pattaya Klang (Pattaya) is a Cash Dispenser/Deposit machine. Which means Thais use to to make deposits and all manner of banking transactions. You can be in line at that one for quite a while on occasion. Follow the signs to the bathrooms on the ground floor and it is the 4th ATM down the hall.

  2. Relax the bones FB, he is one of your own. :biggrin:

    I actually sort of used the word on purpose. Most of the English guys I know that used the word in the past mutated it to seppo a few years ago. Like most insult words that get overused it sort of becomes a joke to those being insulted and they start using the word themsleves. I guess it still bothers FB. To each his own.

    Black people these days sometimes refer to each other jokingly/jockularity/male bonding using the N word. A word I will still not utter. Even though I am a honkey and a cracker. :biggrin:

    The art is going watching the games in bars where there are no girls full stop (e.g. Kilkenny, witherspoons etc) so you dont get distractions or yak yak while watching your beloved football team

    It's still quite interesting if not distracted watching the game to watch the bar girls. But after reading your story I certainly understand.

    Any chance the EPL is back on Sophon Cable this season? A few years ago when it was on Sophon it was great when I needed a down night. I would stay in on Saturday night and watch soccer. Now don't get mad, the word soccer was invented in England. :mad0245::biggrin: One of the things I like about Phnom Penh is the EPL games were always on cable.

    Looks like the NFL is back on True Vision Sports this year.

    That should be good news to some of you...

    Yes, those of us that like to be up at 4-11 AM drinking beer. :drinks: But I do catch a Bronco game from time to time. So good info.

    I need to get back to LOS. I'm getting so out of touch.

    Reason why you may ask?

    Answer...Man United are playing :yahoo:

    When I first went to Thailand in 2006 I was a typical septic that could care less about football/soccer/world game/whatever. It was great going to the bars as all the British guys paid no attention to the girls during matches and the girls were bored to death. I pretty much had the pick of the litter as I actually paid attention to the girls. But I hung out with a Thai GG for a while that was a big Liverpool fan the year they did so well in the Champions league. We would go out on the town at night and party, go to my place and fool around a bit then grab some food and booze and watch the game. I gradually got addicted and now I also sit at the bars and stare at the TV. I still don't care for the pro game in America as the crowds are often barely large enough to be considered a crowd and that causes a lack of atmosphere IMO. But I pretty much keep up to date on the EPL and Champ league. A strange Thailand side affect.

  4. Does this Bourne movie suffer from the Paul Greengrass shaky camera syndrome? I can't stand the way that twitchy fucker ruins a good movie with his spastic "cinematography"!

    I love the Bourne trilogy but have the same problem with the jerky camera moves. I think it's was a phase movie makes went though a few years ago.
