I agree !!!

I am a TV member because of the news, and I stopped reading most of the comments because of the Thai-bashing by many members!

Most just hang out at the beach looking for babes to take care of them....most of the time have to beat them off with a stick....so very handsome....?

Correct !!!

Some die of the balcony disease ( no more money )

Some die from bleu pill disease ( to much help needed )

A lot die from SUGAR disease ( so fat they can't see their white socs anymore )

But who cares ?

I guess this will be the last time he asked some advice from a bunch of stupidos !

Maybe it is not very smart to fall in love after you saw her only twice, but at least, you saw her !

Asking advice to people you never saw and you don't know at all, is really stupid !!!

Let us all hope he does not fall from the balcony over this one baht scam.

What is exact location from this maffia gas station ?

Be nice to him,

It is his last posting !

He is moving to VENEZUELA !

And spoiled his whole live !

I am from Belgium, and I know Dutch mentality!

One baht is a lot of money to them!

So I would advice him yo not go unarmed to that place again !

According to his comments he put on some Dutch forum/blog, none off both will die from a lack of haughtiness.

This is certainly a happy story, but I can see it being pretty scary for those trying to escape the past. Beware! You can be found!

According to a person who knows him, he does not sound too happy ????

The guys name is colin de jong and he writes the dutch section of that silly newspaper pattaya people.

After readibg some of his stories, I can suppose the Toronto girl is not the only one !

Try Deedial at 7.50THB per minute.

Thank you Gerry,

But I don't know what you mean by : Deedial ????

Can you give more info ???

Have a nice time.

Thank's again.

Thank you very much Charlie,

On my next call, I will try 006 63 number

10 baht is a very fair price

I really appreciate your advice

Have a nice evening.

Hello everyone.

A friend is visiting his girlfriend in the Philippines. I called him yesterday, a few minutes costed me 250 baht with 1-2-call

Does someone know how I can call him a little cheaper ?

Many thanks for any information.

Have a nice day.

Hello again.

I have one more question :

Are there more country's with simmilar rules or is Thailand the only one ?

Thank you for any comment and thank's again for your previous reaction.

Bye bye.

Suspect you are talking about baht rather than bathing and in reference to retirement extensions of stay - and that 800k figure is for applications from Oct 21, 1998 onward - the old law was a still found in Police Order 777:

(6) For an alien who entered Thailand before October 21,

1998 and continuously allowed to stay in the Kingdom as a

retiree, the following shall apply:

(a) He/she must be 60 years of age or over and has regular

income. His/her bank account deposit shall not be less than Baht

200,000 a year and evidence of the account deposit for the

previous 3 months must be shown; or he/she has a monthly

income of not less than Baht 20,000.

( If he/she is under 60 years of age but not less than 55, the alien shall have regular income with a bank account deposit of not less than Baht 500,000 a year and evidence of the account deposit for the previous 3 months must be shown, or

he/she has a monthly income of not less than 50,000 baht

I'd put a fiver on early 2004....

Thank you very very much for your really very fast answer.

Sure do appriciate it.

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask asimple question:

Can anyone, tv member or tv staff tell me in what year the 800.000 bath regulation was issued ???

I would appreciate any correct answer, even approx.

Thank you all.

Watch the vendors then...

do not let them vend the watches.

They are only trying to make a living. Up to you, you can just say : No thank you.

well according to this story, apparently you cannot just say no

Do you believe every story they tell you ? You do not know the story of the vendor. Possible a very big offence was made ? Who knows the truth behind the story ???

Watch the vendors then...

I do not want to help or support the Thai vendor, but, a lot off people do not know how to say : I do not need thank you. in Thai, easy, May auw, kap khun kap ( sorry for the spelling) but they do know how to say : F*** Off

I suppose not many people like this kind off answer.

I really do not know if this Russian tourist used these words, but this is only a general opinion.

You have the only answers there are (aside from popping to Belgium owned restaurants and asking them for bulk purchase options). However, why not make a job lot yourself? Actually very simply, here is the recipe I use from marco Pierre White.

150ml grape vinegar

50ml white wine

1 shallot, minced

10 peppercorns

2 tbsp tarragon leaves, finely chopped and reserved, and stems set aside

50ml water

4 egg yolks, beaten

Juice of one lemon

300ml clarified butter ( I use Ghee, the Indian clarified butter when I am pushed for time. clarifying butter does not take long though)

1 tbsp chervil or parsley, chopped

Salt and white pepper, to taste

1. Vinegar, wine, shallot, peppercorns and tarragon stems in a pan and reduce until you all you are are left with is about 3 tbsp of reduction. Open the window for this as reducing vinegar can tickle the throat. Add the water and then strain through a fine sieve.

2. Place the egg yolks in a bowl with the lemon juice and whisk in the strained reduction.

3. Place the bowl on a pot of shallow simmering water and whisk for about 20 or 30 seconds, remove, whisk again. Repeat. The key is to cook the yolks slowly, ensuring they don't scramble.

4. Keep whisking until the yolks have thickened. Look for the ribbon stage, when they're firm enough that you can lift the whisk out of the yolks and drizzle some back onto the surface, forming a ribbon-like pattern.

5. When this stage is reached, slowly drizzle in some of the melted clarified butter while whisking constantly. It is critical not to add the butter too quickly or the sauce will split.

6. When the mixture has thickened and begins resembling a sauce, add the chopped chervil or parsley and begin tasting. If too sour, whisk in more melted butter. If not tart enough, squeeze in some lemon juice. If too thick, whisk in some warm water. Add the chopped tarragon leaves and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

7. Keep in a warm place until ready to use. The sauce will thicken as it sits. Serves eight.

You can pop it into jars (sterilise them in boiling water first), fill them up with a circle of grease proof paper on top of the sauce, then screw top on tightly, and immerse in simmering water until the popping part of the lid will not pop in and pop. Keep in the fridge for a few months, or you can freeze as well but its not so great that way.

Be sure to teach your missus how to make it though .... so that next time...you get the drift

Wow boldface, a real big effort you make to help me, thank you but :

1) I am not a great cook, only basics.

2) It would take me a lot of time to find the ingrediants ( if avaialbel in Thailand )

3) I am looking for the dressing sause, so not the fluent one ( am I saying this correctly? )

But, I am sure you are a great cook, enjoy the hollydays.
