There are some good look hammers there. Some of them can join me for a protest anytime.

Sorry, impossible I'm afraid.

They're all Thai-Chinese and daddy said they got study hard then have an arranged marriage. No time for ruff-type, sex-pests like you

I can categorically state that what you say is untrue, but you probably would not want to listen

I know what you mean. Why I remember reading a thread about a guy who accused all Thais of having no shame or morals because they overcharged him 5 baht on a cup of coffee. Imagine confusing a 5 baht overcharge with shame and morals and worse applying his judgement to all Thai people because of his experience.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what makes Farang so bitter. Especially over 5 baht.

its not the money, its the principle.

I hate being overcharged, and it seldom happens, simply because, when it happens, I pay quietly and then tell the owner that because he/she overcharged, I will never come back and tell all my frnds to avoid the place.

Exception = national parks, where I throw a wobbly (if need be), and get Thai prices without fail.

As for crumbly monuments such as the Emerald Buddha, the shrine of Thainess, I have not visited it in 22 years of residence, simply because I don't give a flying f++k about whether it crumbles or not.

and looking at the photo, one wonders which ones are the hardened criminals...

OMG, this is a big, big bust, enough for a couple of joints. The BIB who we taxpayers fund and endure, should now be worrying about their jobs, rather than this.....

.....'cos when the inevitable revolution takes place, they will need to worry about their lives: and from everything I see, the revolution is finally within sight.

Why on earth would you want to do that?

I can only assume that you are coming here from North Korea...and didn't cheer loud enough for the great leader's birthday.

If you are from a civilised country, do you not love your kids?

My clear advice is don't do it, you will regret it, unless the wife isn't doing the business any more, in which case Thailand still has some advantages

OK then. Wait until someone dies and then have a clampdown as it is ruining the cuntry's image

^^^^^^^^ Ha ha I'm not that bad. 3 bedroom house in Sakon city 14500 baht for 3 months. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Is Sakon a safe area? How about the Muslim problem? is there enough about the place to keep you interested?

There seem to be two places with the same name... One in isaan (wikipaedia speaks of this one), and one in Saturn which is the only one google maps can suggest... Where are you living exactly?

Uranus perhaps....... or Mars

i don't have the energy to comment anymore

2014 hopefully the year of revolution.. bloody if need be.

Please, for my kids...

Does that count as a comment

I bet it will soon become a crime punishable by 15 years in prison to video a policeman in the derelicttion of his duties, or to publish such videos. In the meantime, keep the cameras rolling.....

Erm...... lets skip Bangkok on our next trip to Vietnam, Myanmar or Cambodia.....

Just as I skipped a 2 day transit through Delhi to visit Agra, recently, on account of visa fees.

I must say, I welcome the idea.

This will definitely get rid of trash tourists who clog up the airports and streets. Most westerners have been to Thailand at least once amyway....

Why not call himer a mrsiss or even a misstrysiss. That covers the bases

It has been a funny year in Thailand; politics are hopeless as usual, but there have been bright spots and dark spots.

Chalerm Yoobumrung had a brain aneurism. It was significant in a number of ways. It finally proved (conclusively?) that he had a brain, but the incident might have been overplayed by his spin-doctors. The outpouring of grief over his illness was astounding. He survived, and the joy among the populace was palpable.

He also declared that if he does not succeed in bringing Thaksin back by the new year, his supporters may behead him.

The bad news is that there are 17 more days to go, but the chances are that Thaksin will be celebrating his new year in the sandpit.

Oh well.....

Well done..... You will find out how fair minded, cultured, intelligent and non-racist we farangs really are. You have come to the right place!

In an associated report, the Shinawatra govt has paid the Chinese govt in rice to build a high speed rail access to the gulf of Thailand

If you are not trying hit and run and if you really like her why hurry? Can't you have some patience for someone you like?

Yes, I can.

But I've been seeing her twice a week for six weeks, isn't that a bit long to be where we are? That's a genuine question, not rhetorical... I dont know Thai dating culture.

But I know in the UK, go more than a few dates and you still haven't even kissed, if you're not escalating things.. you're going to get friendzoned very fast.

Get some relief from old mrs.palm and her five lovely daughters....

waiting for my approval already 7 years

what a complete joke; beyond contempt

question: are you rich?

if so, be very careful

Its really surprising, I agree.

After all, Thai is the Lingua Franca of international commerce, and given the country's predominant role as a hub of everything, destined to supplant Mandarin, English and Spanish in the near future.

I hear that parents in the US, Europe and China are queuing up to enrol their kids for Thai lessons, so they can compete in the global economy, or maybe just negotiate a decent price for a BJ
