Very interesting report about tourism in World (2011) by countries, by regions, by continents, comp. with 2009 .pdf (~20Mb) 531 pages

It looks good Pity what you prefer weebly.com platform - wordpress.com or blogger.com are much more flexible and powerful

Anyway - 1000 is better than 12... only 12 person were attendants of first show of new film of Angelina Jolie "In the Land of Blood and Honey"...

Just got new info from Ef: From now Ef has additional phone number: 087 4466 096 (+66 87 4466 096 int'l)

Yes, tickets Moscow-BKK-Moscow are very cheap past 2 years. "Last minute" economy seat can cost as low as $100 (round trip) in 6 hours before flight and about $300 in 24-hours - this is about charters. Emirates, Quatars, Swiss, KLM, China AL, Korean AL, Aeroflot (ru), S7 (ru), TransAero (ru), AeroSwit (UA) and few more - there are a lot of competitors. They offer tickets on regular flights from $500 (6 month in advance or "last minute"). As well disorders in Egypt and Morocco made thus countries less comfortable. Russian airlines have 76 charter flights per week to Thailand from Russia, and all airlines have about 80 regular flights per week as well.

Peak time for Russians: 28 Dec - 14 Jan (winter holidays) 20 Jan - 05 Feb (student's holidays) 20 Mar - 01 Apr (spring holidays in school) 01 May - 11 May (spring holidays) 2 weeks of vacations at work Russians usually use at summer (June - 20%, July - 30%, August - 50%), other 2 weeks usually split 1+1 (1 at spring + 1 at autumn) 28 Oct - 10 Nov - (autumn holidays in schools)

I'm sorry for posting this topic to "beer bar", but I cannot to start topic in "Comments and suggestions". Mainly it will be about new layout. I will show you what I see now (fig.1). If you are wondering where all adv. are - they are cuted by adblocker: coz they are slow loading and too "pushy" - even with 1200 pix height they take more than 50% of screen (+header). In general words - it is wasting of the page's space. As well I'm wondering about forum's width - it is only 762 px (app. +\- 3 px). So, mainly visitors are watching blank space on screen. In past it was OK - old spacing btw elements, made forum more packed with info. But with new layout it become even worse: only about 15% space is useful for visitor (fig.1) Modern websites have design 960 px in width, or even with 1120px. Please take a look at pic 2. It is my offer for "quick renovation" - just to move adv. to side and fill 960 px + make forum more useful on user's first screen. Sorry for my limited English. I don't want to be rude and I respect efforts of owners to make forum better. If owners need some assistance and help in redesign - just drop me note

I can tell about DD Inn - after midnight this small street (soi) is very quiet. By the way: if you concern about noise - you can book room with "garden view" - there are no any bars from backside of DD Inn. Be ready - DD Inn is budget, simple and basic guesthouse.

Short info: Ef's old account "f_club" at planetromeo.com has been hacked and stolen. You can find Ef for quick contact there under another nickname "jirapat25".

Scooby, thank you for this post As a webmaster I'm proud to see screenshot of website at forum's page.

The new offer I plan to visit Bangkok and Pattaya very soon. If someone wants to have website - live me message. At time of visit I will visit your business and will make professional photos, and will make site for you late (January'2012). Conditions are the same: all my work is free for you (see first post of this tread). Only photo-session without website is possible too (on some conditions). I will have time for 1-2 websites and for 2-3 photo-sessions only, so please be quick Regards, Moses

funny... never been at this site, but got this message...

Safety switches have wide using in villages instead of grounding...

Oh, how known sounds this story for me We (me and BF) have the same impressions from "extended family" and almost all other "habits" in time when we made some help to our Thai friend in his house in very rural village Isaan, location of village is so "nowhere": even mobile phones don't work there - no signal. Our task was much more shorter: to install "western" toilet, shower room with hot water, and electric system with lamps, switches and outlets...

You can't "not trying". Coz you have idea to work in the same format. Another design, another name - it will not help: your board will be "just another gay board about Thailand" You have to have ideas before start: - "Why people will come to my new board?", - "How it can attract posters and visitors?", - "what will be benefit for users to come, to register and to post?" Forums and boards - are the hardest projects to start.

May be I'm wrong with "go-go" for "today" - coz I'm not resident of Pattaya. There was go-go in past not so far.

I prefer to stay in Jomtien (North part, near the gay beach). Pro: beach (means: it is possible to swim, even when water isn't the same clear as at islands, but for sure is more clear than is at Central Pattaya), many eye-candy to watch, enough bars and hotels to stay (incl gay hotels with sea view), Jomtien Complex has full set of entertainment at evenings: bars, go-go, show, saunas.. Contra: location is more far from main touristic areas - about 10 min by tuk-tuk to Walkin and\or Boys Town or Sunee

Main hall has 1740 seats. There will be 68 free tickets (for disabled), the cheapest 374 tickets will cost app. 3.3 US$ (100 rubles ~ 100 baht), prices of rest tickets will vary depend on location, time (day or evening) and type/name of the performance.

Oh, I forgot to mention - last one photo is Opera in Paris. It is NOT knitting - it is painting. And it is another - "italian" - style of curtain. Bolshoi will have "italian" curtain too - but a little bit late: it isn't ready yet.

It was very complicated renovation: in 18 century for underground base have been used wooden pylons (oak). At that time ground around theater was very wet cos small river Neglinka was just in 100 meters. Oak is very good when it is in water - it becomes stronger with time under water without oxygen. At the beginnig of 20 century river was isolated in underground canalization. And ground became dry. As result of it oxygen started to destroy oak base. 800 millions isn't cost of renovation of main building (to change base, to replace old parts of construction, to cover with gold all elements of decoration (over 200 kg of gold), to make 3 new curtains with gold knitting, to change all heavy machinery of giant scene and underscene, sound equipment and lights). Price include cost of new one building (second hall for modern ballet and opera), cost of new underground hall for choir concerts, cost of renovation of 2 km metro line for reducing of noise and vibration (it is laying just in 20 meters from base and from underground hall). For example each curtain is over 500 sq. meters. It consists from 3 part (main parts are 12x24 and 17x24 meters)

After 10+ years of reconstruction and renovation 28 of October Bolshoi will open doors. Worldwide famous theater has 235 years of history. It was first renovation for past 100 years. Prices of tickets to first Gala are even not high but crazy. 90 000 - 2 000 000 russian rubles (3 000 - 70 000 US dollars). All tickets been sold in 3 days. Some pictures of renovation and how it looks after renovation (they aren't my pictures - I found them in russian blogs):

they change the tone now... today BP has hews about "last line of defense of capital"

it isn't new... it is 5-7 years old already...

There are no "Kremlin Square" in Moscow. It is named "Red Square". "Red" hasn't any connection with communists: square has this name more than 500 years already, and word "red" is direct translation from Russian "krasny" which has 2 meanings: "beautiful" and "red" (color) in old Russian language.
