The height of balconies in Thailand eliminate any strength needed. They don't even come up to hip level for most farangs. So, until more info is available, death of unknown origin.

I took a (long delayed) trip to Roi-Et with my wife last week from Pattaya. Upon reaching her house, one of the first things I noticed was a calendar on the wall from 2005. She's been back there multiple times since then so the meaning wasn't lost on me. The picture on the calendar was Thaksin.

Clowns!

Here's 30 1,000 baht notes so you can see what they look like? I'm hoping the reporter left some things out or misinterpreted the details. Otherwise, the shop clerk looks pretty foolish! Hopefully the CCTV footage can help sort this out.

Bangkok Bank gave me the card in a plastic sleeve. I make sure I'm holding the sleeve while transacting. If I left the card in the ATM, the sleeve would be a hint.

And I think the logic (I may be wrong here) is in case you want to do another transaction.

Yahoo just listed Phuket as one of the best retirement places in the world. Apparently they don't see news items about traffic deaths, scams, heists involving far ants, or other issues.

15 pages of crap. You don't like him? Fine. He's in business (and apparently doing very well). You like him, he's happy. Pay/don't pay for his offering. As Thai's say Up To You. Please close and lock this thread.

Thanks for the response, and they received high praise from some of the other team's coaches. They're on the right track.

The women were impressive against some fierce competition. Their performance against powerhouses like the US, Brazil and China was unbelievable.

Question: I'd like to get one of the black shirts they wore during the tournament for my daughter. Any idea where they can be found?

I lived in RI (USA) when the Station Nightclub went up in flames because of bad pyrotechnics. That scared the crap out of me and then a while back in Bangkok. I live in Pattaya now but I only visit open air bars or places where there are more than one exit. Walking Street is a disaster waiting to happen.

Sad for the traveller and his family.

Glad to see they finally found a solution to the flooding! Now they'll be able to sit up in their perches and look at the water roll by in real time.

Oh, and you should send it to ten of your friends in the next five minutes or you will receive bad luck. Unbelievable! I googled my date of birth and got the song and the artist. No clue who she was, but no survey either.

I'm on the Embassy's email list for warnings, announcements, etc. Never received a thing from them. Thanks!

Lonewolf - I'm on a Student Visa and only have to report to immigration every 90 days. Yes, I have to pay for school, but no 'visa runs.'

A quote on Yahoo from the PM: "Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra urged Bangkok residents to be "confident," saying Sunday that there may be some overflow into some neighborhoods but that it would not cause any great damage. She said, "We will recover soon." I hope her words are true.

Thailand is a laughing stock to most of the world. This is not surprising. His sister being elected Prime Minister would be like Richard Nixons sister being elected President. No, even worse.. Nixon was pardoned.

Richard Nixon didn't have a sister: http://en.wikipedia....ixon#Early_life

Geez, it was an example - who cars if he had a sister!?!

I'm a US citizen who has been on a watch list for the last couple of years due to spending all my vacations in Thailand (six years). Did a project for work there and fell in love with it. Now every re-entry to the US, I get a secondary screening - dumped suitcase, linings unzipped, computer searched (all files) and all pics viewed on my camera (100+ images). I'm waiting on my re-dress since December. The Airport individual pointed me to the web site to request re-dress and that it would take 30 days. It's now July with no response. Three re-entries with secondary screenings and they've never found anything wrong, but are obviously putting something in my record to force the secondary screenings. Each one has been more intense than the last. I fear what's next. I love Thailand and I retired this year and got a student visa to try living here permanently to see if it will be different than vacation mode. I love it. But I will go back to the states to see my daughter and grandson as often as affordable.

Witherspoons Soi Buakow, or however you spell the soi LOL

Just changed my flight to BKK through Korea rather than Narita. I feel so sad for Japan. What are the signs of the acopalypse? This has been a very strange couple of years!

Not my favorite airport but when I know why I'm here - I don't care.

I have the iPhone 3gs now (USA) and will move to Thailand late next month. Should I bring it to be jailbroken or buy another phone? How much is the Android?

I agree with clip - Mr T. Taxi does it for 1,000 and they are there with a sign waiting for you - [email protected]

Stayed at the Inn House on Soi 13 recently. Friendly with guests, nice restaurant out front, quiet street, pool on the roof - about 1,200 baht and a great location between WS and Central Festival - very near beach. Still installing free WiFi while I was there. Plus they have an elevator (lift).

I can upgrade my iPhone 3 to a 4 next month. I move to Thailand in March. Can I use the new phone in Pattaya?
