Nice! thanks again, was very helpful! =)

That doesn't look too bad at all.

What is a special economic zone ?

Horny elephant defeats Toyota Vios in stomping competition

By Coconuts Bangkok

KHAO YAI: -- A bull elephant stressed out because he can’t get laid took his frustrations out on the vexing vehicles swarming his domain Saturday.

After charging one vehicle which managed to escape, the elephant, believed to be about 8, stopped a Toyota Vios carrying four passengers through Khao Yai National Park and proceeded to mount the vehicle’s hood, flattening its front end. No one was hurt in the incident.

"It's in heat," Veterinarian Patarapol Maneeorn explained in The Nation. When male elephants reach the age they start feeling the need to breed, they are forced out of their herds.

Very professional video

Karnkanok 3 in the Jed Yod area. Fits the bill.

Karnkanok 2 at CBP is too..... so far. Knocking on wood.

Good luck with that.

As usual again.

Nothing unusual here.

And no one gives a dime.

What is worrying is that other Thais elsewhere in Thailand are surely learning how easy it is to kill westerners.

Should read: .....How easy to get away with it.

'failed to address issues' is very common here.

Just a few examples.

1. The whole nation is allowed to buy a bottle of wine only at certain times a day..... in order to stop under age drinking.

2. Police is enforcing traffic laws only on certain days and spots......in order to cut the number of road accidents.

3. Legions of whistle blowing parking attendants are employed......in order to assist those being unable parking a vehicle.

4. People without a clue tell you this and that rather than saying "I don't know".......in order not to loose face.

Hopefully the scumbag has to pay a hety fine plus compensation

Do they have a showroom in CNX ? Anyone owning a Stallion can share his experiences please ?

Thanks. Can you call them for sightseeing only? Would need the service to go into town on the weekends, or for shopping if it rains.

Anyone having experiences with them ??

You can use them to go anywhere you want. When it rains they usually want more money, charged me 300฿ for a trip from Central Festival to the business park; a 1.5km trip.

CBP is just acroos the road from C Festival. 300 Baht is a joke.

holiday inn,fits your bill

Yep, nice rooms and a good brekkie.

Galae restaurant up on Suthep road on the foot of Doi Suthep. Inexpensive thai food in a nice setting with easy parking.

88K sounds quite expensive to me.

I paid 1,6 Mio Baht for a brand new 1 bed condo (38sqm) on the 1st floor.That equals 42K per sqm. Fully furnished, incl. TV, washing machine, microwave, 2 aircons and a fridge.

Its about time that some of the Thais speak out on this matter.

I always use a guy called Cha ? Spelling, he's 100% reliable by coming himself or sending someone else. 0897010291

Cheers for that. I'll give him a try.

Indeed. But there are some who think a direct purchase from (established) developer is straightforward. However, I'm uncomfortable with that.

I wonder whether I should engage the lawyer prior to booking as well? And what's the going rate?

Put me in the camp of people who think it’s straightforward (buying from established developer).

What would you expect the lawyer would do for you? Read the terms of payment and give his stamp of approval?

If you want to spend money on some “insurance” then I think it would be better to get a person knowledgable about construction and have them inspect the quality of the finished project.

Yup, no lawyer needed.

"Pomdada" is my kid's favorite mall.

And actually also the only one I don't hate going to. The bank branches there are also a blessing.. fast service, not too much waiting. Opened a couple accounts there.

And then I'd never thought I would ever go to a mall-based restaurant, but Duke's and Ragu made that happen.

Same with Chi Chang, the electronics & computer store. Bought a lot of stuff there again because it's such a relaxed experience, and the items I bought were the same price as in other places (I did call Siam TV to ask just in case. )

Agreed...Chi Chang offers excellent service. The Rimping is a good one. Easy parking too. Only the food court lacks in regard of choice.

I think it's you. And me, and everyone else who matures from initial 'shock & awe' to an inevitable level of jadedness, as the years move on.

I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago. Still having a good time though.

And a specific pet-peeve of mine is people claiming that 'the girls used to be prettier': you can look at old photos online taken in bars in any era from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s to see that this just isn't the case.

What so many of us fail to remember is.. 10 or 20 years ago 'we' were 10 or 20 years younger..

The hottest girls have options.. And while money is obviously part, its not the only part.. Was it easier to hit up the best girls when I was in my 20s as opposed to now ?? Er you think ?? But as PJ O Rouke put it, age and guile beats youth innocence and a bad haircut..

That said many of the girls like fun, I know some very fun guys in their 50s and even 60s who still act and live young.. Still like to party and know how to joke and get the girls laughing.. Dont mind splashing the cash a bit or ringing the odd bell.. They are still in the game. But go in with a fanny pack, beer belly, combover, and a scowling grump on.. Then complain that some 20 year old slim little cuddlebunny asks for a drink too quickly for the honor of your company ?? Really ??

I go around Thailand every couple of months to kick up some dust.. And I honestly cant believe how many great fun girls there are, ready to laugh and joke, ready to have a party, everywhere !! From tin shack karokes in issan, or country discos in smalls towns, to the wannabe model type jet set in Phuket beach clubs or bangkok rooftop bars, the hardcore in Patts soi 6, etc etc etc.. If your failing here ?? Where pray tell is it better..

This is the most common excused used and I don`t agree.

Obviously we were all younger at one time and getting older by the day, so what? Being older does not mean we are all becoming senile and losing our memories.

Having over 31 years of living in Thailand and mostly in Chiang Mai I can tell you that there has been a major decline in the quality and availability of the commercial adult entertainment venues in Chiang Mai over the years. There is no question about it, much of what used to be has gone and what is left is very much nondescript or simply grot, plus due to the lack of supply and demand even the grot has become expensive.

My point being, the Chiang Mai night scene is pretty grim. Chiang Mai is a great city for those who enjoy shopping trips, quite and isolation and going to bed at a reasonable hour, but for letting our hair down and being naughty once in a while, Chiang Mai is certainly no sin city.

Nothing wrong with that at all.
