Good

I have been a patient on two occasions at Bangkok General in Bangkok. Both experiences reflected a similar St. Vincents Sydney quality of that experienced by the poster, BTW, simply because he is "new" to TV doesn't make him a liar, i have seen mostly utter claptrap on TV from those seeking their "15 minutes" MaePenRai.

Pai and Chiang Mai are for 'chilling out" If you can't find enough to do in Bangkok, you are beyond help.

Now that is a real "Monty Python" solution to a non-existent motorcycle-induced traffic problem. At least one good laugh a day, Never a dull moment in the LoS.

Nobody wanted the Russians also in Pattaya , now that they are gone everyone is complaining about losing income.

Pattaya was turned into a cesspool by us soldiers on R&R. Lately, the Russians simply ensured it was made even more putrid. good riddance, and thanks for the pristine beach locations still available in the LoS.

Our guesthouse, condos and apartments will not accept them onto the premises, it is an insult to our workers to expect them to clean up the filth they leave everywhere in the rooms, toilets, restaurants and public places.

The only truth that can be assured is that 2 people have died violently, and a child and others have to cope with the aftermath.

Isn't it great to start the day with a good laugh? This is a real AT (Amazing Thailand) moment to share with the boys at the coffee shop.

Hi,

Can anyone here give me the location of a motorcycle workshop around Chiang Mai that specialises in Tiger Boxer 250S used/new parts and "happy customer" maintenance?

Almost cracks the blistering pace of 50 KPH, and BTW the old Shinkansen is well in excess of 300 kph the new mag-lev has hit 581 kph. Maybe someone didn't read the back of their tickets when they were riding around for the on board photo op?

There is no freight on Shinkansen.

Still waiting to see the all-important photo op....

Aww shucks.

Where is the obligatory photo handshaking on a garland festooned stage by all and sundry in suits?

holding an oversized print of the contract,

with fountain pens in hand?

In the LoS in ain't the same without one of those...

Lets stick to the facts there is only one way a foreigner can own land in Thailand, and it has nothing to do with residential properties. Rent it is cheaper here under any period of any lifetime and 100% safe. Keep your assets in your home country, and enjoy everything this wonderful place has to offer.

If you hear advice from get rich quick property developers, get them to show you the Chanote of properties they have decided to keep because of their value and see if their name is on the title.

PS I have lived in Chiang Mai for 15 years and i never wear "flip flops".

The median price being asked/advertised as opposed to actual sale/transfers has been on a downward trend. Prices had increased dramatically over the prior 18 months. This may be what the punters like to call a "market correction".

good

If it is a moped, the solution is simple, just pedal it around to the local locksmith.

Mo(tor)ped(al) = moped easy huh?

1 million because they are RICH!!! They have spent billions on Real Estate in America, and fly the world to see how the expats live.

People are so jealous they can fly to Thailand, and then LEAVE......while most expats here spend 49 baht on soup noodle and wait for change from their 50 baht bill...

yes, this means you!!!!

i'm off to china to study the pandas......

Wrong. The rich Chinese don't deign to visit Thailand. They go to America, Europe, New Zealand.

Thailand is a budget destination for not-so-rich (and usually low class) Chinese.

Hey, Seasnake, who spends 49 Baht on soup noodle,(did you mean noodle soup?) I get a great beef noodle soup in Chiang Mai for 40 Baht - you show-off chinaphile you..

China #1 for tourist quantity, as for quality? Hmmmm....

And #9 for per capita spending in the LoS.

Anyhow, when you next encounter a couple riding their 'rented from Pop' motorcycle on the wrong side of the road (mostly) and weaving their way to the Emergency Ward at the Chang Klan traffic accident hospital, don't forget to call out your greeting - "Guatou"

And no, i was mistaken, it doesn't mean "welcome to Chiang Mai and have a nice day" Sounds simirar,

Hmm, no move to fine those gutter crawling gangs of ad screaming pick-up trucks?

I mean the ones with the pretties twerking or Coyote Dancing in the back are OK, but the ones with brain

cell liquefying at massive distorted decibels over the limit?

C'mon...

Yes, either - the joint is empty, plenty of deals.

Thailand's once massive reserves of US currency must be heading down. No amount of THB purchasing will stop this decline. It requires significant change in the Thai economy to halt the slide.

Well done England...Not the result we had wished, BUT I will always love cricket...The world's greatest summer game - by far!

Is this very encouraging news on Fox or CNN yet?

Yuasa is 100% Japanese and they have a JV factory for motorcycle batteries in Thailand;

Or Google it if this link doesn't work

Importing from a factory in South Korea or Taiwan? I don't think so, especially for motorcycles manufactured here...

^{​The correct name is Royal Bangkok Sporting Club. (RBSC) in Henri Dunant Street and they will be racing there :'till hell freezes over".}
