wow 2 1/2 years and the op is still going strong must have time on his hands

good luck but remember tit not the western world:ermm:

hi have been looking round for a cheap around 400k isuzi dmax 4x4 auto ,having looked locally (krabi) there is very few around and they all have high mileage 150k + or have had the kilomters wound back ,going to phuket next week to have a look around there ,i have also seen many in bangkok on the usual websites how ever none of them quote the mileage i dont want to go bangkok and waste my time looking at cars with in accurate kilometer readings.

am i wasting my time with the cars in this price bracket ,

am i being realistic hoping to find a 6 year old truck with approx no more than 120 k on it.

your views are appreciated thanks

agree with you 100% i had a post deleted yesterday for disagreeing with another post but we are not allow to discuss moderation i recomend you pw george for explanation this is what i did

cant see anything but i reckon this is defo a ghost

The unfortunate fact is that sensationalism sells, people love to read about it and the more grisly or off the wall the better, have a look at Pattaya Clipping posts today:

Mass Ordination of Monks organized by Pattaya Police and Pattaya Lions Club.....108 views

Nong Nooch Gardens prepares for Mothers Day parade......40 views

And now these all posted today around the same time.

Norwegian Arrested in Pattaya Underage Sex Bust........912 views

Thai Superstar Bashed & Robbed on Pattaya Beach Road.........767 views

These people are running a newspaper for profit and in order to generate cash to pay the bills so it is fairly obvious which stories will run.

Pattaya news is a small market where every view and every click counts so I would assume they do not have the luxury of posting all the really nice stuff if there is some high volume nasty stuff available. At the end of the day profit is a function of volume.

there is nothing sensationalized in the storys who wants to read about some gardens preparing for mothers day sensationlized is when they hype the story up and maybe exagerate it about, to me their telling it how it is........................

whats this all about some one pm i might be interested.

thanks

there is nothing distorted phuket gets it fair share off bad news reports same as chang mai or where ever these terrible crimes take place they are reported seems certain areas do attract the lower forms off life, what would you prefer the bib cover up these stories push them under the carpet and pretend they never happened. there are some people that love pattaya some people that hate it whichever way you feel about there is no denying pattaya does have a pretty bad reputation and is not well known as one off the nicest and pleseant places in thailand to visit...

Beg to differ, krap: Pattaya is known as "one off (sic) the nicest and pleseant (sic) places..." in the world to visit! It depends on one's perspective...

cant argue with that lol

however dont quote me on this but i have read somewhere that sex touristsonly cover 10% of the total tourists coming thailand so i doubt patters attracts as many tourists as the beautifull scenic places in los

And yet strangely enough Pattaya gets as much if not more visitors than most other Thai cities - go figure!

how do you know this i doubt this very much try pp island ,phuket ,ko samui and bangkok for most visitors

yes and the problem is obviously the type of visitor it attracts

in first post you mention if every petty crime was reported below is a list of reported news in just the last 4 days hardly petty crime is it

Norwegian Arrested In Pattaya Underage Sex Bust

Body Of Newborn Child Discovered At Pattaya Rubbish Dump

Cambodian Fisherman Killed Outside Convenience Store In Sattahip

Coyote Dancer Found Dead In Her North Pattaya Apartment

Brazen Shooting Incident Results In Death At Pattaya Nightclub

Headless Corpse Found On Island Off The Coast Of Sattahip

man what another sad story coming out off pattaya is there ever any good news coming from pattaya.

Why, yes, indeed there is! :wai: Always happy to be of assistance to Pattaya Derangement Syndrome^TM (PDS) sufferers.

For example,

Tens of thousands of tourists flocked to Pattaya last weekend to celebrate the 4-day Asalahabucha and the start of the Buddhist lent holidays.

Festivities began on July 26, when Buddists all over the country when devotees flocked to temple to make merit by pouring wax into moulds to create ‘Khao Phansa’ candles and present them to the temples.

Pattaya Mail August 6

maybe tens of thousands of thais doubt weather there is tens of thousands of tourists in pattaya as its low season then again they might have got the figures from TAT.

Anyway sad story dread to think the situation this parent must have been in very sad.......

i see from previous posts 8 months ago you were considering buying a laptop surerly in 8 months you could have done a bit off research for your self instead of asking people in a completely different country.................

why dont you search on google for reviews off mentioned laptops im sure this will make it easier for you.......................

man what another sad story coming out off pattaya is there ever any good news coming from pattaya.

hi just wondering if any one knows of a gym in ao nang area or maybe a hotel that lets you pay a fee to use their equipment .

thanks

why is everyone paying 600-800 gbp for a 3g phone to use in a country that does not even have 3g coverage ,i was in uk couple of weeks ago bought a mint condition 2g phone for 6000 bht now thats a bargain

would i pay 600 quid for a phone no f ing way crazy people

Also some Thai names can be hilarious to English speaking people. Ex. a lot of women are Porn--something Pornthip, Pornphen, Thitiporn As for men, the Chid--something "Pichid, Chidchai etc. won't sound good when someone hears it

English names can be quite funny to Thai people. For example if your name is Jim I would suggest a change!

just asked the misses about jim yeah defo change name:thumbsup:

Berkshire...yeah, you got me, I'm not really in Afghanistan, I'm a 18 year old kid sitting on a computer in Iowa. Oh, and I don't "go around threatening people with personal harm." <SNIPPED>

Ohh looky. .. Another 40 post 4 day member whose morphed into the 'expert in residence' on "all-thingz-thai". In addition to promising what would happen IF someone dared to cast a disparaging eye at his thai sweetie. .

Where was that 'ignore button' again? Oh that's right, no one can read this, as I am ignored by all, and now only post for my amusement.

I personally don't give two shits where another foreigner met his thai significant other, also known as his; 'thai-in-tow'. As long as they don't solicit my opinion about her we're good. Although all too many foreigners seem to do this, much to their consternation when I actually give my opinion rather than parrot out a pat answer. My advice is; have balls big enough to 'walk the walk' whoever you happen to pick to 'walk the walk' with.

Who a person picks to spend their life with is SOOO far down my list of even semi-important things that it doesn't even make the top 100. You wanna have a bangkok born-'n-bred, white-skinned, hi-so, uni-educated, thai-nese (for the very thick, that's thai-chinese), man knock yourself out. It's the same if you wanna have a dark skinned, 4th grade dropout, rice farmer's daughter from Nakhon Nowhere for your a significant thai other. Those are choices YOU must live with, not me, my posting pals.

And FWIW: I'm NOT sitting on a couch in Any-town USA posting my two satang's worth of info; but in my office here in Bangkok. Thanx for askin' though. ..

As an aside to the poster known as "Judia" (who posted a nearly incomprehensible rant on the first page), which I will include here for your perusing pleasure;

Who give a FXXX about what Thai people like us think. But IF you look at Thai people They have evil intention event tho you think they good THEY NOT THAI PEOPLE ARE NOT I'm Thai and I think Riping White people off And sell stuff high price is consider UNFAIR! soo Whatever U guys Farang or whatever u are do you should think of US Thai Worse that you guy..when you come to Thailand of course

Keep up with those "engrish as a second language" classes; they'll start to pay off eventually. ..

One last thing to the poster known as "StreetCowboy", my armband appears to be broken as it doesn't seem to work like it did when I first got it shortly after I arrived here in the glorious "Land 'O Thais". . Is there a warranty on these things?

oops some ones having a bad day at work

just like to point out the last two pages of this thread has absolutely nothing to do with original topic,guess this is why some people say this forums going down hill.

imho i dont think the forum is going down hill there is a lot of great usefull information on parts of this forum ,however the general topics forum does seem to get a bit petty immature what ever you want to call it................................

i find it strange they have to give you another 16 digit number and cvv code when the kasikorn card already has number and 3 digit cvv code already i suppose tit

I don't know who got suspended, I just hope it wasn't the new user that seemed decent but that was baited by one of the recent trolls.

In anyway, some people will always think bad about a mixed couple here. No-matter the social grouping the couple actually reside in. Not unlike how mixed couples was seen 50 years ago in the US.

Especially the older generation, with the level of nationalism that exists, will always disdain us foreigners.

think trans am has 15 day ban

these dogs havee a very bad reputation in england many owners and children have been mauled by them fact.

i just dont see why people take the chances with these dogs especially around children.

yes they can be trained for a pet but you never know what could set them off on an attack, i like dogs but am always wary around rottys

Yeah that's right, if you do your Bangkok report, you'll likely have immi dudes come to your residence looking for wedding pics, your wife and such. Man you're in a bind man. I would do exactly what Opalhort said to do unless you are completely nuts

immigration people come to your house for a 90 day report sorry this seems like scaremongering.. maybe they do that when you apply for a marriage visa to check it out but not for a 90 day report.! I understand that you guys trying to help and i know the situation is not so smart... but u still have to admit that the fact that they cleared me last time means something right? no questions NOTHING just a smile and see you in 90 days

maybe destroying my passport is an option and with my new passport apply properly but that means that only the stamp in my passport is the item that counts and it seems to be legit

it says: phra nakhon si ayutthaya immigration and above that something in thai wich i was told says thai wife

im trying to reach my contact at the moment and hope he will clear this for me.. sucks that i have to whait

has any one here on marriage visa ever had immigration check up on stuff after getting a marriage visa (so not when apply but with reporting)

surely if you destroy passport and get replacement when you go embassy or immigration to sort out visa they will check computer and see you was on a marriage visa so they would re issue marriage visa and this is where they might ask for proof off marriage. yes or no

so better option would be to leave country and get completely new visa. just my thoughts

its alright your get used to chunkys wild posts accusing people of this and that he is getting a bit of a reputation here already not a good one may i add

You are absolutaly right but l feel a bit for shivers, bit depressing for him away from his lady and home, dealing with depressing stuff and has to read complete shit from hi-so chunky1. Perhaps l should let it go over my head but l would really like to see this guy chunky1 demolished.

yeah noticed you and him been going at it lately i nearly bit a few times and replied to his comments but now just laugh to myself when he comes up with these wild posts out off nowhere, i think he knows how he is thought off on here

best just to laugh and ignore his ridiculous ill thought out comments:D

i think this topics done:

my misses has a few friends who own hotels we go there regular just to say hello and have a chat last year i walked in thwere with a red lacoste polo on the owner the misses friend said to me i must forget about this colour shirt not good afew days later i see a picture of hotel owner at a wedding and guess who was there yes the pm oops. any how i took all my red shirts home on last trip, dont really like to wear them any how i do feel a bit consious when i used to wear them..... :jap:
