Re: Good watchmaker?
I've got a Tag which needs "rebooting" I'd pay 50 $ if I knew they'd get the job done. Let me know how you get on. Cheers To follow up on this in case anyone else ever needs a reliable watch service, over the last few weeks I've visited just about every watch service place in town. All I needed was...

Re: Water Shortages in Sihanoukville
That coupled with the water treatment plant not being upgraded much since colonial times (provides 8,000m3/day max). Colonial times? Sihanoukville? I don't think so. The Sihanoukville treatment plant was built by the French 1958-62 initially to serve the Port. So you're right, it was just outside o...

Re: Water Shortages in Sihanoukville
The brewery have been steadily increasing their take from 2,500m3/day to 5,000m3/day over the last couple of years. That coupled with the water treatment plant not being upgraded much since colonial times (provides 8,000m3/day max). Over the years the pipe network has been extended all over the city...

Re: Good watchmaker?
The watch shop next to Soria did a decent job of regulating my ETA 2824-2, which needed adjustment of the stud holder, not just the regulation lever. It's now around +1s/day, much better than spec. Thanks - that sounds promising. How much did they charge? I just need a new crystal installing on a d...

Re: Good watchmaker?
Duncan - By expensive I meant more than a $10 knock-off from the market. Not rolls royce/rolex or whatever. The reason some people outside of "your crowd" pay more than $10 for a watch is because they like the quality and workmanship and they last decades, the same way some people like to ride a mot...

Good watchmaker?
Can anyone recommend a good watchmaker who can service an expensive watch? I don't mean just a guy in a watch shop who knows how to change a battery or shorten a strap, but one of those eyeglass-wearing men who spend hours hunched over a desk looking into watch movements. There are a few good ones i...

Re: One Killed, Six Wounded in Shooting Attack on Vehicles in Laos
There is an alternative theory about who has carried out the half-dozen shooting/bomb incidents in northern Laos so far this year that makes some sense given that the Hmong insurgence has been quiet since about 2005. That is the growing divide in the upper echelons of the Party between keeping the t...

Caesarean in phnom penh
I will be working in PP this year and my wife gives birth in July. Is there a good hospital that can do caesareans? We know Thailand is better for hospitals, but want to avoid this as it means my wife will have to go home by herself 2 months before giving birth as you can't fly after 7 months.
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Moto died, need new daily rider. Opinions?
If your budget can stand it, the Honda PCX is a great bike with loads of underseat storage. Pre 2012 it was 125cc, post 2012 is 150cc. The 125cc new in thailand was 70,000baht - I paid 40,000 more in Laos with their insane taxes, but after 3 years and 35,000km it still runs like new and has only had...
