ASP.Net 2.0 XHTML Valid? It is unless you want to use the W3C validator

I came across an interesting anomaly last week with one of our new sites (http://www.missmays.com/ -not work safe). We first started developing the site in ASP.Net 1.1 and wanted to make it XHTML 1.1 valid so wrote a HttpModule that transforms the offending source

Tipping

Taking the type of hotels we’ve been staying in into account, you would have thought the staff would be the money grabbing, impolite and thoughtless type you so commonly meet in the UK, but something’s changed since the last time I stayed in a hotel. No-one seems willing

Final Thoughts on the Hilton

I've not yet had the chance to stay in a large number of up market hotels but the Hilton at Hua Hin has to be my favourite to date. Location aside, the atmosphere, generosity (in not only the room size but also service) and the facilities are second

Monkey Mountain

When we first arrived, Todtoo –our tour rep had mentioned there was a “Monkey Mountain” in Hua Hin and after the disappointment of the waterfall, Stacey and I decided to plan our own excursion –after all, we could see it from our window, how hard could it be to get

The World's largest waterfall

Hua Hin Night Market

Suitable intoxicated after the Thai Show we wandered through the local night market. Basically a night market is just a bunch of stores in a main road (which is closed off to cars). It’s a great experience, people are so friendly and you can really get into bartering for

The Hua Hin Thai Show

This was to be our first encounter with the notorious Thai lady boys, it was an odd occasion to say the least! We caught our first Tuk Tuk of the holiday to the show –and made it! For 450Baht each you can have dinner and a show (that’s about

Hua Hin Silk Farm and Tailored Suits

One thing that I wanted to do when visiting Thailand was have a suit made. I’d heard a lot about how you could have a suit made for £75 which sounded like a bargain to me! There’s a plethora of tailors along the various streets but we’d

Elephant Trekking

One thing Stacey and I both agreed when booking the holiday was the fact that we wanted to go elephant trekking -it’s a must when going to Thailand imho and to my surprise Stacey agreed. We rolled up to the elephant place1 and I was a little dubious about
