Ok here's the night view of the same place. Sorry for the quality as still not familiar with camera settings.
Yeah. same over here. Attach 1 pic, it will be full display. Attach more than 1 pic, all become thumbnails.
Same here, will need to click on thumbnail and log in again. Think could be the browser I am using (google chrome).
I don't have that problem. How do you upload, from your PC direct or through Photobucket or similar?
The 'image' button does not work for me so I use the 'attachments' in the advance menu to upload the files.
I see. No wonder this happens. Maybe Sam can help as I can use the "Image" icon.
A little tip on renovations in LOS. Found most workers are not very productive when customer not around. To solve this, try to be present at the work site as much as possible. Also buy them some energy drinks/snacks which is not very expensive. 
Their work efficiency improve tremendously. In short, you become the supervisor.
One reason is also because some of the renovation workers are part time and daily rated. So the longer they drag, the more they get. Have to offer some bonus to make them speed up.

And the other reason is the opposite, some workers will be too 'automatic' or very initiative and make their own decisions. I call them 'Kay Kiang'. Stop them, before they do something not according to your requirements. Often, it cost more money and delay to do alterations.
Thinking of getting a small expresso machine for my office staffs and customers. Saw a few brands, Krups, Gaggia, Electrolux and a few others. Prefer a small, idiot proof and low maintenance one. Anyone have experience with such expresso machine?
Buy a normal coffeemaker for your staff and an expresso machine for visitors. The price of good ground coffee is pretty stiff and some workers drink coffee like water. The machine is easy to operate but don't buy Krups, Philips or unknown brands as they all are made in China.
Just standard coffee maker machine like Impressa 24, idiot proof for fast and thirsty. Forget those blxxdy capsules, expensive and non-green.
You have not mentioned if you prefer a semi-auto or fully auto machine. The difference is with fully auto, you cannot suka suka change the flavour of the beans.
The fully auto models are quite expensive in Thailand because of a 20% tariff. The most reliable model (no hiccups for the 1st 5 years at least) is this Saeco model, but the design not chio:
More importantly, got chiong or not?
In Singapore I never chiong before. I've been traveling outside sinkieland for so long and I never wanna waste my time cheonging here. Now I live in paradise I don't even chiong anywhere.
Guys, thanks for the recommendations. Think I am going for a simple expresso machine. Will probably use only one kind of coffee beans. I am a coffee drinker so naturally, I want to have better coffee every morning. Now, I am drinking instant coffee, Nescafe. If given a choice, I prefer the traditional Hainan style coffee.
I was reading my daily WSJ newspaper and in this weekend edition, there was an article entitled "Shangri-La Joins Effort to Ban Shark Fin". It also reported many other joins and also Singapore's supermarkets joining this ban. The last paragraph was interesting where it talks about west's double standards. I believe Bangkok's taxi drivers will never be able to comment like our sinkie high class taxi driver.
I am very surprised our taxi driver is so learned and perhaps rich enough to eat foie gras.

You forgot many MBA driving taxis now in Sinkieland.
Dun look down on humble bkk taxi drivers, most of them are from red country issan where they are more politically savvy than any of the 60.1% sinkies here.

Once you do ground coffee, instant Nescafe will never taste quite the same.
