  1. Smog, bombs..... God, it's enough to make one have a week on the beach.

    Oh, wait! We left CM for the clean air on the beach already...... ???

    Quick ! Rush to the beach while it's still there, with an A320 GWC (Global Warming Contributor). That's today's good common sense, called modernity.

  2. some people compensate on alcohol, others on overeating or excess sex, or excess sport (or all of them, in changing frequency and degree). Because they haven't found any healthier way to compensate. And because they ignored that they were compensating. It's all linked with emotions (stomach). Whatever the brain knows, pretends or claims, if emotions are too strong, they will prevail. The stomach is called the "second brain". If emotions are erratic, the (first) brain will not work properly. It's all about loving oneself really and listening the message of one's body in an unbiaised way, through conscience, and not from the ego and its lacquer, the mental. (Be like the scientist observing a chemical reaction in a lab, without hating or loving the chemical reaction that takes place in the tube).

  3. I guess the quote about golf being a "good walk spoiled" isn't true for dogs. No sympathy from me, OP. I'm an animal lover who thinks golf/golf courses is/are evil.

    Totally agree, maintaining a golf course destroys the environment by the extensive use of pesticides and other chemicals, and requires lot of water.

  4. LOL to the replies on this thread.

    OP, just explain more about the girl, and be honest about it.

    Most of the posters here are just messing with you, have fun.

    It's not that bad.

    Some girls are just modern, so for them it's not a big thing to bring a guy/boyfriend to meet the family.

    It doesn't mean marriage has to be the next step.

    But it is a serious step to some extent, so do consider what the girl might expect after the visit.

    As for meeting the family:

    Just take to heart the advice regarding where to put your feet, wai the parents, don't touch the children, smile, try the food,

    say it is 'pet' and smile.

    Just be nice and friendly. Dress average but decent. Don't dress rich looking.

    Keep the visit to a pop-in: spend a few hours then leave.

    You could bring some small gifts, but don't shower them with gifts.

    What is always a good idea is to go to the market before and bring food as gift!

    As you stated, for you it is also an opportunity to see another part of Thailand.

    You should go with that in mind: to go and have a look with no intention of staying.

    Try to show interest in the people and their lives, but don't ask too much.

    You will probably experience what most farang experience in this situation; you get 'ignored' after 10 minutes,

    cos people change the topic, the focus shifts, mainly due to language barrier.

    For a lot of poster, as soon as you mention Ubon, aka Issarn, it just has to involve bar girls.

    While it is true that most bar girls come from there, it doesn't mean that all are the same.

    However, whether your gf is a bargirl or not, you can answer yourself.

    There are a lot of normal people in Ubon also.

    Conversation back on topic ! All other posts are so humourous and witty nonetheless. I read this forum every single day. Can't wait to be back in Thailand next month (oops getting off topic now)

  5. Isn't amazing that with the very minimum of information the BIB mange to come up with a motive and sometimes it's even multiple choice as with the missing tycoon and the Ramkamheng bomb.

    There's nothing wrong with saying the motive isn't clear at such an early stage but the BIB seem to think it makes them look bad not being able to nail things down in no time flat whereas as it only makes them look the fools they really are.

    i'm ignorance incarnated, but I need an answer; (Off topic, but found in E-VR-RY topic) : in every post in Thaivisa there's one bloke (maybe always the same) whose main hobby is to put the word "BiB". BiB BiB. damn, can't find what that means. BiB What is that!
