I brought a Hiitachi one with the freezer on the side and the fridge has glass shelves and plenty of room , it is very quite and has the ice making machine and water dispenser .it was worth more than 30 k but I love it . has amazing features.

sounds amazing

Most of us love living here if we didnt we would be living somewhere else.

Like Malaysia for example?

I am the guy who started the thread "my recent trip to Udon".

Unfortunately you are missing the point I made about expats. In this thread you have graded expats entirely on their income. I am only in my forties and have retired early to Thailand as a self made millionaire. However, I do not judge other expats by their net worth, or their salary.

I judge them on their self respect. In Udon, I did not observe a single expat who took pride in himself or his conduct.

Why on earth was your "Recent trip to Udon",from Phuket of all places by bus then?

Even the cheapest backpacker would NOT make that epic journey by bus,a millionaire business man would just fly Silk Air (Business Class) with Thai Air for around 10-15,000 baht return!

just all talk ... they are a dime a dozen

They certainly are "kevvy" they certainly are.

I started a business 8 months ago and got shot down in flames on this forum by about 65% of the members , just take your time and you will have to be here to keep an eye on things as well. The biggest thing you will need is a good supporting wife and an honest one , I have this and my wife and I on the way to make some serious money .... good luck on your venture

7 months ago you was fed up with Thailand and moving to Malaysia.

Another waster full of shit.

Epic fail, don't bother.

Silly answer.

Not silly read the OP slowly so it sinks in, you think it's going to work? I'm doing the OP a favour.

Starting a business anywhere in the world it's either in your nature or it isn't. I'm telling you for a fact it isn't in the OP's nature full stop.

I raise a glass for William and a middle finger for the thickies that say "You can make a small fortune in Thailand just start with a large one".

Epic fail, don't bother.

When will people learn - DO NOT buy off plan.

If one is thick I would agree.

TV parties must be like watching paint dry.

She is young, 25yo, and loves it. She was at it all day yesterday on BuaKhao and this morning said that her arm is Jep from all the water buckets throwing.

I bet it is.

Walmart has over 2.1 million employees, more than the populations of Birmingham, Liverpool and Leeds combined, and serves 200 million a week from 9,600 shops in 95 countries, with a total store area of 34 square miles, larger than Hong Kong island.

wow that's amazing (seriously)

all slaughterhouses are appalling places where animals are butchered for food. If you are against animals pain and suffering you don't oppose one type of slaughter, you oppose them all. There is plenty of evidence that animals suffer barbaric treatment in slaughterhouses of all types. BB has made racist statements in the past, she is married [or was, i concede this marriage could have gone the way of her others] to a leading member of the french national front, she is on the record as saying muslims are destroying france by imposing their beliefs on france,she has been convicted 5 times for inciting racial hatred. She is a racist, the animal welfare movement does not need her.

butcher with the intend to cause at least pain as possible is one thing. And no question there is abuse which is also strongly criticized by BB. She herself doesn't eat meat at all because of that.

Cut the throat let the blood splash out and the animal cries at the pain and dies slowly. That all without narcosis (you could make the animal sleep with CO2 and cut the throat than painless), but religion does not allow that.

Muslims are destroying France? Where is the racism? People choose to be Muslims and can change their religion. Do you call it racism that Scientology is banned in many countries?

If you are against people who are black, yellow, pink or for any other heritage reason than it is racism.

If you criticize the pope, torture animals for religion, be against bull fighting of the spanish etc etc than it is not racism.

My guess is that she would be against a converted original French Muslim that torture animals but would be complete happy with an Atheist Saudi.

she has 5 convictions for inciting racial conflict due to her comments on Muslims and immigration.

From UK paper after last conviction

In a 2001 article named, Open Letter to My Lost France, she lamented: "...my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims."

In her 2003 book, A Scream in the Silence, she warned of the “Islamicisation of France”, and said of Muslim immigration: “Over the last twenty years, we have given in to a subterranean, dangerous, and uncontrolled infiltration, which not only resists adjusting to our laws and customs but which will, as the years pass, attempt to impose its own.

Well she wasn't wrong was she!

The answer can be found in the legal principle of "what would a reasonable person do or not do" Would a reasonable person about to be hit move out of the way or assult the driver ? I dare say that most Jurys in the world would find a person who took a bag of grocerys or a baseball bat to the driver to have taken an unreasonable course of action. Because a resonable person would simply move out of the way.

In an accident you don't have the right to assult someone just because the accident may lead to harm. I doubt any Jury would find that swinging a bag of grocerys was intended to deflect an oncoming driver as opposed to just being an unreasonable act. The Jury question would be would a reasonable person is the same or similar circumstance try and deflect 150+ pounds going X miles per hour with a hard object or would a resonable person try and get out of the way.

The reason it's unreasonable is that it would be demmed an unreasonable expectation that hitting a moving object with that amount of force with a bottle of pickes would have a reasonable chance of reducing the harm to the pickle bottle thrower because as a point of fact it would not, and a reasonable person would understand that ..... which is why as a reasonable person you didn't do it !

When this flips on it's head is when the driver is assulting you intentionally, if a driver was attempting to run you over or assult you a reasonable person would try to use any force within their means to stay alive and as ineffective as a bottle of pickles might be it would not be unreasonable to try and use it to defend yourself. Then the jury question becomes, would a reasonable person is the same or similar circumstance believe the driver was attempting to assult them or would a reasonable person think it was just an unintentional accident. It really wouldn't matter if it was or was not what would matter is if it was reasonable to think it was an assult not if it was an actual assult.

When people get into trouble in this fairly common situation it's bacause Jurys find their actions were unreasonable based on the circumstances. So .... yes throwing a bottle of pickles at bad drivers is againt the law as fun as it might be to do , because throwing a bottle at a motorcyclist has no reasonable expectation of reducing the harm to yourself.

What would probabbly happen is the driver would sue you because it's not unreasonable at all to convience a Jury that getting smashed in the face with a bottle was what caused the accident in the first place, a reasonable Jury would find that smashing someone in the face would keep them from reducing the harm to you and themselves as they would further lose control , stop applying the brake ect, what you would find is that the act of throwing the bottle would be deemed as adding to the problem and make you liable for a part or perhaps all of the damage of the accident. Because the smash to the face would have happened before the accident making the accident worse in the mind of any reasonable person listening to the average lawyer pointing that out.

sounds reasonable

Over the top reactions from some Thais although we must not condone the use of counterfiet goods.

Sent from my moody iPhone 4.

Mike the Magician was a pretty smart guy. That was evident from the conversations that we had. The others that I knew were pretty much like average people as far as I could tell. I also worked with one Bandido on a carpenters job. He also seemed like a lot of the people I knew, neither an Einstein or a dunce, just average. He was on parole from prison and did not want to go back, which is why he was working as a carpenter!

That'll be the infamous "Hand Drill Harry".

That's why I keep MY gold bars at work !!!

Where do you work?

Two of the culptis have been identified as Khun John Steed and Khun Emma Peel, the third is still a mystery.

hi, yes good advice and i normally keep the head down. dont know why i reacted like i did. i feel silly now for giving him the finger. sometimes however its really really hard to turn away when someone is clearly putting your life in danger. to make matters worse, i live in a small town so its very likely our paths will cross again. hope he forgets. deep breaths...deep breaths

Nothing to feel silly about mate its natural to get angry when someone really pisses you off especially when their putting your life in danger. Three years ago a drunk on a motor bike almost smashed into my bike. I stopped and got off and started shouting at him he got off and a few taxi driver boys started to walk over to his side i new then i was out of my depth here and will have to quickly learn to control myself. That's not being a wuss im no mug but you gotta be realistic if you want to live here anyway the main thing is your alright.

I find repeating "<deleted>" under my breath very therapeutic and calming.

I prefer c**t but each to their own.

Beer bars are running out of beer, seriously, if it carries on much longer you will have to ask as you enter a bar if they got any.

The Google keyword tool is fools gold.

Cant understand your mentality ,come to live in Thailand and eat at European style overpriced buffets , f----- maddness.

better then the <deleted> on the street

"I've changed...traveling the world changes you" LMAO!!!

I don't mind a bit of banter but some of these posts are disgusting. I get tired of the Brit and Yank bashing each other were f'ing allies fighting against radical Islam to make the world a safer place so leave it the f'k out will ya.

I would sentence him to death and give the girl 1 year jail on the hope that would be enough to scare the shit out of her and change her life around.
