  1. Dicey situation with almost no upside.....you couldn't "take" the child to protect....no authorities nearby to let know.....language barrier......maybe about the only thing to do was to say loudly something like you didn't want to buy the child???? hoping interested onlookers would take action.....

    Maybe go to the authorities with a Thai friend(s) and give the location, time, descriptions and any helpful information you can provide....after that you've done the best you can do.....

  2. Err, 31 vehicles bearing the same plate? Only in Thailand!!

    Thai is very tonal

    ...... apparently and also very tonal sighted.....

    I can just see some guy in the prison license plate making shop saying....... I just loved that number so much , and it was so easy to make, so I made 50 of them....

    How many others may be in this position....... in case of crime and escape by vehicle, what good does it do to get the license plate number?????

    Hey and all you anti Thai bashers, bashers...... you can add this to the Thai Disgrace file.

    They'll figure it out - the truck was silver.................

  3. Some of the best foot massages I've had have hurt during the massage...but after - wow - what a difference from the tired feet I had when walking in.....others - well at least I rested for an hour......Also I've found that short duration massages don't allow for proper rejuventaion - 1/2 hour is not going to do much of anything for you.....

    In some it's more like a rub down without the actual applied technique.....the shoulders thing just takes away time from the feet.....

    You are right - finding a good massage that works for you can be hard to find....if one is good I try and get their number because some seem to move from place to place - like hair cutters - get the number and become "their" customer...much better than trolling around to find someone else that is a good practitioner......

  4. The police assume that this prostitute might be part of a criminal gang involved in the drugging and stealing of property from unlucky victims. They appear to be experts in these crimes, by finding the victims, then takes them to motels where they drug them and steal their property then make a quick escape.

    Great powers of deduction, I say.

    Great powers of deduction seduction......fixed it for you (how the hell do I turn the itallics off?) ..........wai2.gif

  5. Bedsheets & linens - best place is located in Baan Tawai (Soi 15?).......they supply the 5 star hotels in CM and it's all good-best quality (and we looked everywhere) at a reasonable price (somewhere in my posts I locked down the location - PM me and I can give a pretty accurate description).....

    We had to buy for 2 guest beds + our linens.........about a year and going strong......it's good enough that I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.....better in fact than most found in the US. They told us they have their own mill and thus control quality.......top notch stuff.....

    We had originally bought some at Big C and it was only OK although we read the packaging & studiously checked everything......

    I know an earlier thread was devoted to this with some people going to BKK to find/buy = not necessary.....

    Blenders, etc - Big C - Tesco Lotus ------> Macro possibly worth the first look.....

  6. You know - sometimes we're just one step away.....

    I look at some of the stairways at landmarks/temples...some bars and wonder how someone unsteady ever makes it whether just a miss-step of alcohol assisted.

    Went over the bridge at Ob Luang the other day - I'm 6'4" and there is NO way I could reach the hand rail - it was not a comfortable moment.....different from what happened to in the OP - but still one step away.....

    My house has all teak furniture - I'd bet it's pretty unforgiving.....
