Yes, for full autoland the airport needs a Category III instrument landing system, but many airports are Cat II or less. Most approach procedures bring the aircraft down to a decision height, where if they can see the runway they land visually, otherwise they have to go around or divert. At some smaller airports because of terrain obstructions the ILS track isn't even in line with the runway, so the final phase of landing has to be visual/manual. Also, true autoland in zero visibility slows down all other airport traffic because it's not just a matter of having the right instruments on the aircraft and the right navaids on the ground (and trained pilots!). Ground vehicles and taxiing aircraft near the runway have to stop, so they don't introduce unexpected reflections of the radio signal.

And the worldwide price of hard disk drives increased by 50%. Three guesses where they were made...

Only two . Terminal 1 closed nearly a decade ago.

Set to vibrate?

I understand by "is not correct" what you wrote above: "amyl and pentyl aren't isomers to each other". Those are all alkyl groups (acyclic saturated hydrocarbons) with five carbon atoms and eleven hydrogen atoms. That makes them all isomers, regardless of how the carbons are connected.

As the wikipedia article indeed says. Which part of "The term "amyl nitrite" encompasses several isomers" did you not understand? Tl;dr: You: amyl and pentyl are different isomers of the C5 alkyl group. Wikipedia: "amyl" sometimes meant what we now call "pentyl." Me: caveat emptor. And I'd add, for a table of all the different names used for pentyl isomers, this (different) wikipedia article is helpful (and, AFAICS, correct): "In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group. Conversely, the name pentyl was used for several five-carbon branched alkyl groups, distinguished by various prefixes. The nomenclature has now reversed, with "amyl" being more often used to refer to the terminally branched group also called isopentyl"

Just whern you thought you knew the answer: according to Wikipedia the terminology has changed over time: "In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group".

Physical cards can be virtualised too. If you add a physical card to Google Wallet you can use your Android phone to make contactless transactions on the card account, but as an extra level of security it uses a virtual card number, not the one on the card. I assume iPhones have an equivalent.

It's worth pointing out that long-distance bus travel in LoS is not like some of the neighbouring countries where buses depart only when (over)full and you have to sit on someone's knee. In Thailand you get a numbered seat (and mamasan gets very cross if you try to sit anywhere else 😲) and they depart more or less at the scheduled time. As for "quite fun" the internet yields many images showing all kinds of fun activities on a bus 😉

Don't 7* chicken and cashew nuts feature somewhere? Also the ready availability of stamp-collecting accessories, of course.

That was the Thaiger article. I was referring to the "more objective" (your words) Thairath article quoted by tm_nyc: 'looking like an LGBTQ' . The actual words are "ลักษณะคล้าย LGBTQ". ลักษณะ means "physical characteristics, appearance; characteristic; manner". คล้าย means "to resemble; look like". Source: Thai-English Student's Dictionary, Mary R Haas, Stanford University Press, 1964. ISBN 0-8047-0567-4.

I'm imagining being the patient in the next bed when they drew the screens around and the grinding noises started...

I think what that means is that a Thai-speaking witness actually said "looking like a katoey" which any native Thai speaker would understand. The journalist has helpfully (cluelessly) translated it into "LGBTQ" for the benefit of English-speaking readers. A few years ago they'd just have written "ladyboy".

Buy something small at a 7-11. Company policy is not to object to people splitting large notes. Alternatively, ask the bar cashier to split them "for tips".

Where doesn't seem to matter. Nor does what you wear: I've seen it suggested that's why in some bars they wear (only) a condom on stage 🤯.

What (and where?) was the Boyztown incarnation called? I don't recall an M Bar. Any chance you can share some of her other answers here, or is it too inflammatory for print? 😲

"the city’s image as a family-friendly destination." 🥱 Reading that, one might think Pattaya Railway Station was in the centre of the city, bringing hourly trainloads of happy tourist families from far-flung destinations. 🤣

Yes. Probably B450.

Spot on.🍆🤣

Keeping it legal? If he's wearing a hat he's not nude 😉

Currently it's more a building site.

Those quotes are for TWO rooms x 2 nights. Are you sure that's what you meant?

I have scans of maps from Thai Scene and The Men of Thailand dated 1994-1997, and they all show Tawan (aka Tawan Cocktail Lounge aka Tawan Club) at the same location on Soi Tantawan.

oops, finger trouble.
