I would imagine people who retire or holiday abroad have more time on their hands and might like to spend it relaxing in a pub atmosphere where they are lightly to meet others in a similar position.

  I myself gave up the booze one year before retiring to Thailand 16 years ago.

The weather.

Do you and to hear something good?( a bit off this particular topic). 

    I decided to buy a condo while on holiday in Hua Hin ( live in Pattaya). They wanted a 250,000 Bt. deposit. I already had 50,000 but didn't have my passport with me ( had copy) so I withdtew 50,000 a day for 4 days. 

   The deal fell through so I went to lodge the 200,000 back into the same bank I withdrew it from (BKK)......They wanted me to pay a fee of 200 Bt. for the privilidge.

    I laughed my way to the TMB and  lodged in there (for free).

Why not ask.... "she who must be obeyed"?

Scum bag.

 

Hope the poor guy recovers.

 

The well worn  "s - - m - - g".... rears it's ugly head again.

Sorry to hear that. Can't imagine why the daughter could not be present to assist.

"Yawn.  I remember the same being said when people first starting using mobile phones".

   That's what he's talking about....Mobile Phones?

"And the issue on raising the common fees has to be approved by majority of the co-owners, not the committee."

   Interesting. In 17 yrs.at my building, my approval has never been sought concerning a hike in the common fees?

RIP the deceased and hopefully a speedy recovery for the injured.

I have lived here 17 years. Go holidaying every six weeks or so staying at different addresses. I have never notified anybody and couldn' t care less if the owner of a hotel/guest house does either. As they say "up to them".

    Ignorance is bliss in some cases. If we were to go through life worrying about all the small stuff we may as well stay at home.

   PS. I don't think Immigration offices would be too pleased either if their offices got clogged up every day with people reporting after spending one night (or more) away from their condo. 

Let me get this straight. A few guys pocket the takings and ut is considered a "Thai rip off".

   So, if a bank robber robs a bank in the USA.....that would be considered an "American rip off"?

Have always had success with the spring traps (the one that doesn't kill them) using brown bread as bait.

I have used corn flakes and of course ....cheese. Everytime I release them in a field I get a sense of elation...so different from the one I got after learning back home that the way to deal with them was to slauter them.

Amazing. I have 3 bank accounts and never had to dodo any of the stuff the OP talks about?

Great opp.for the "sc - - bag" tag to get an airing. When will people mature and leave the school yard stuff at the school yard gate. Or is it the D effect that has made them revert to their childhood ways?

I really don't think you can get a room to yourself for that daily rate. Decent longer term apartment rentals are available from about 4K Baht per month. Try Soi Potisan or Soi 14, both off Naklua Road.

I am sure others on here can suggest other areas in town. Expect a few sarcastic comments too.

Good hunting.

I have seen rooms for that price off Soi Buakow (opp Soi Honey).

   There's one in Soi Arunotai for 180 Bt. a day but very basic, no TV.

I agree with most of what the OP writes. Could include most of the bad things we did as kids consisted of knocking on doors and running off.

   But it was also a time of children been mollested in Mother and baby homes, of the Magdeline laundry brutalities, where children ended up as slaves simply because they were born out of wedlock and were looked upon as children with no souls, literally slaves where many died from malnutrition in unmarked graves. And equivelwnt type homes in other countries.

  Where children were taken from unmarried Mothers and adopted out (or sold) by religious orders to people in foreign lands.

    NO SIR....it was not milk and honey for all the children of the land.

Havn't I just read this post somewhere else?

Go into any food court in a shopping mall and your question will be answered.

If I didn't trust her I certainly wouldn't go blabbing about it on here.

A quarter of a million people found it interesting that Taxis wouldn't stop for a customer????

  I sure hope Aliens from another planet don't ever decend on BKK.

Part of the “risk” when dealing with Cyber World , you have to deal with

FAKE COMMENTS & REVIEWS , probably under FALSE IDENTITY .

Establishment owner must counter this with FACTS then Legal Action.

Can NOT be avoided , so deal with it .....

Yes...isn't that what he is doing?

I bought 3 condos when I first came here. The Euro was around 54 Bt. I hadn't taken much note of it at the time. When I recently sold the condos I lost money on them but the exchange rate made up the difference (when I sent some of the money to family at home). 

This type of thing would annoy anybody. I too get it all the time when with the wife. Wifey says t's because a lady waitress doesn't want to make eye contact with the man for fear his lady doesn't like it.

    Just the other day we stopped at a coffee stall, the attendant lady chatted away to wifey (we had never been there before) and completely ignored me, not as much as a glance or a smile. I interrupted and said to the lady "excuse me, am I here or am I still ar home because you obviously don't see me, or is it just that I am invisible"...... of course she didn't understand the sarcasm. I then got up and moved over to a different table and left the Mrs. to explain.

What immediately comes to my mind is a court order...but I suspect you know that already. Hope it works out.

  PS.... Back home (about 40 yrs.ago) myself and "common law wife" seperated. She set up home with a new man. He was living in the house with my children while I had no rights to see them because we were not actually married. I had to go the court way.

   God Bless you and good luck (I do know how it feels).

  PS. Just thought it may be of interest....they were living in the house that was our home before we separated...we owned it together....I went to live in a rented room.
