wot?

please dont knock los for being stingy with haiti.

i wouuldnt give half a penny to that freakin sorry state......it all flows to those dictators. same w n korea.

People are dying as we are reading this and all the tourist industry of Thailand can thank of is its pocket book.

its a disaster!

life moves on!

money is what makes the world go round! just ask the wrongg kind of thai girls

im not a fan of biased news, but be4 they gave condolences they were asking the question what effect will the eq.uake have on oil prices and japans gdp

and on a sidenote some were questioning how thai girls income will be reduced due to lack of mr nakata and nishimura and nikaido

if you took out thai girls thailand doesnt offer anything really different then its neighbors.

Don't think too much!

A mistake many western men make when in Thailand.

I think the problem is more that too many western men think with their small head instead of their big head.

this would make sense if the girls the guys choose to marry were ez on the eyes kind of gals.............but this is hardly the case

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

It would be nice if someone could give me individual prices for some things mentioned like room, bike etc

I know someone mentioned 10,000 for the basic room, bike and gym in Chiang Mai with the additional food which is very informative.

I know you can spend as much as you want but as long as I have the basics covered I can bring extra for the drinking etc not that I drink much anyway.

The first few months ill be boxing anyway so the camp will have an all in one price.

I forgot to mention that I want to take a language course (paid separately) as well as gym/pool etc so I dont plan to spend all day in my room.

I wont eat any western food either as I eat mostly Asian food at home. But your right. I will book a hotel and look around for a place to stay.

Cheers

you cant abide lying yet you married one who from day one was a liar. you do need a counsellor!

get real, a guy staying a while doesnt want to stay in his apt all day-even if he says so-he needs 100,000!

san francisco to pattaya?

im old fat and balding and have a hott thai wife...............no cliche here

just let her be and if she kills herself send momma monthly money-the least you could do under trying circumstances .

that or run forrest run!

no offense but thailand offers very little besides thaigirls ....if you into that kind of thing.

what diffwerentiates thai cheapness from other countries- many countriess cheaper than thailand----------------its the girls

Cheapness is what it offers if you know how to do all that home economics stuff. Very, very cheapness.

However, it used to offer cheap coconuts but doesn't anymore.

cheap is overrated!

no offense but thailand offers very little besides thaigirls ....if you into that kind of thing.

im here for the culture and the pollution!

i feel your pain................ok-i dont .

move!

if you want to experience the real thailand maybe nana hotel, not quite soi 7 but close............and yes breakfast is included

A good start might be taking a bulldozer through places like Pattaya. Round up all the bargirls on the streets. Quality tourists don't flock to Thailand for ladyboys and the sex industry.

Thailand should not look a gift horse in the mouth. Very few "Quality" tourists are likely to bother with Thailand at all. The South of France is so much more inviting.

quality tourist are not looking for cheap and dirrty

Stupid - It was your first lesson Next time I would call you stupid. Plus you might be too young to know that women all over are similar. But a Thai lady in general treats her boyfriend like no other lady in the world. They make you feel so special but it usually cost, so no money no honey.

It is what it is. Nothing for free. You had a great experience.

actually all women are not the same. thai women are different!

I'd have to say this airport was both my first and worst impression of Bangkok. Made me want to leave Thailand asap.

Sandwich had mold on it and i was charged 1200B for a taxi to Victoria monument (I didnt know about airport link/bts :S )

IMHO, main problem is that there seems to be no information desk for transport. Phuket and Chiang mai (and every other airport in the word) have a help desk near the exit, where you can ask how to get where you are going. Although, maybe there is an information desk, who would know, its a f***n maze with no signs...

???How are we supposed to know the airport link exists???

Suvarnabhumi Airport:

Construction 5 stars

Service 0 Stars

1200 could have got you to papaya!

It's time for the USA and a "coalition of the willing" to just take over the coast of Somalia. It would be pretty easy to do. Put a fence around it like one giant military base. Deport ALL of the locals to the interior and bring in other nationalities to do any labor required like they do here in the Gulf with Indians and Filipinos. Problem solved.

why usa?

most of us could care less about pirates . for gods sake...............pirates!

Firstly, there is no way the police would file criminal charges against anyone for calling someone a name, especially if not in the public domain.

Second, if I had been the OP, I would have offered to pay 50 baht for the broken glass and denied calling the Bargirl a bitch or any other names.

As one poster has already suggested, there probably more to this than the OP is letting on.

Ok lets clear some things up

1.) I offered to pay for the broken glass but anything less than 5000 baht was not accpetable to her which is why the argument ensued and got to the point of me calling her a name.after she was demanding 5000 baht for a 20 baht glass even the Lawyer today told her that was not a reasonable request.

2.) I spent this afternoon in the Police station and the charges I am told are already filed by HER, (not the Police) I received a registered summons to the Police station and the meeting today was to try and clear it however my apologies were not accepted and she refused to withdraw the charge and it will now proceed to the next step whatever that is. I specifically asked what is it for and was told for calling her a F bitch and the lady lawyer that works at the Police station told me the charges are already laid and will now go forward to be processed since she did not accept my apolgies.

3.) there is more to the story but nothing juicy or anything that I did other than I break a glass and then after her calling me a Kwai and demanding 5000 baht that is when I called her a Bitch nothing else to it although I realize it sounds strange LOL the whole thing is strange to me lol

I also cant beleive that charges would be filed just for calling her a name but I was not imagining being in the Police station several time and being specifically told its for calling her a Bitch

Dk

shouldnt you give a cupple thousand to police to make it all go away? its not like you killed somebody

And all this because you was in a bar.

imoutraged! rules do not allow bargirl as topiccs
