They usually fire missiles.  Wonder why they changed to projectiles?  Maybe they're cheaper.

It shouldn't be hard for a local with enterprise to knock up a few thousand copies and flog them off on Pattaya Beach Road.

Bloody Kiwis. Wretched people, wretched accent.

Translate this bit of Kiwi:  'Bug Duck'

I'll help you - in Orstraylin it translates as 'Beeeg Deeek'

Lesson concluded, you may now return to your crayons and colouring-in book. 

And you have to either abide by the following rules or be dishing out teamoney every 500klm.  This info may have been amended recently so i don't guarantee the total accuracy.

Red Plates:

• Can only be used from 06:00 to 18:00, though there is a police directive to extend this to 20:00 in situations of heavy traffic - max fine: 1,000 Baht.
• Cannot be driven outside of the province indicated without special approval of the Land Transport Department (permission must be noted in the log book) - max fine: 1,000 Baht.
• Logs of each journey must be kept - max fine: 1,000 Baht
• Cannot be used on the one car for more than 30 days or 3,000KM - max fine: 10,000 Baht

In addition, the use of fake red plates will result in a 6 month to 5 year jail term, and a 1,000 to 10,000 Baht fine.

I was in Baccara on Friday night but don't tell the missus - she thinks I was playing in a pool comp.

But I'm not stupid enough to carry a man bag bag with a sign that says 'here's all my valuable stuff, come and get it'.

 

 

I never know what to think of these articles because we rarely get the end of the story.

 

He was arrested.  Did the cops that busted him do it on a nod and a wink?  Did he get busted just because he wasn't sharing the wealth?

 

Did he get fined 500 baht and go back to the same-ol'-same-ol', or did he actually get punished?

 

Did he rat out the higher ups, perhaps to save his own bacon?  Is this just a story of a new "higher up" simply making room for a new protection organization?

 

So many questions.  So little information.

 

I guess you dont know how these motocy win operate.

 

From the amounts mentioned, thats about the going rate to hire a jacket per month.

 

I know quite well how they operate.  And that's another reason these stories are perplexing, and rather less than complete.

 

What isn't clear is what happens to these people who are arrested and paraded in front of the cameras, and why they've been arrested at their exact moment in time.

 

The media never seems to close the loop and follow up on the outcome of these arrests.

 

Calling Pattaya One and their ilk 'Media' is being somewhat over generous me thinks.

You need to store/hold the water for at least 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate before putting it in the pond.

Proof that Americans don't understand cricket. 

Jimmy Neesham, a New Zealand test cricketer had his bat taken off him by U.S. customs for inspection. 

The neanderthals then drilled a series of large holes in it looking for drugs before giving it back to him.

C.O.D is the only way to go. 

 

Maybe pay an incentive of 10% of the agreed teamoney up front, the balance on delivery of the service in a timely fashion.

 

Thay way, at least you're holding the cards and the "service provider" has some motivation to follow through on the promise - the service may not be delivered or not to your satisfaction, so the most you've lost is 10%.

based on your suggestion the OP should have paid up front 600 (sixhundred) Baht?

 

Nope - he's already paid 12k so 1,200 equals 10%. 

However the OP seems not to have finalised the negotiation to the point whereby he and the service provider actually agreed on the total amount to be paid.  This is evident because he was asked for an additional 6k that he seemed not to be expecting.  His negotiation skills could do with a pencil sharpener.

It sounds like he's not going to get what he wanted, so he's gonna be down 12k plus the 50k deposit.

Business lesson number one - don't commit to a deposit on anything unless you are 100% sure you can close the deal, unless you're fully prepared to walk away from the deposit paid.

Lesson number two - unless there are legally binding and enforcable contracts that cover all eventualities for non delivery of goods or services, don't pay more than a token deposit (10%) as a gesture of goodwill until the goods are in situ or the service has been delivered to your satisfaction.

Whilst I acknowledge this thread is not about business and all about teamoney, the same basic rules apply if you don't want to get screwed. 

Otherwise, just go and buy a large jar of vaseline.

Pathetic show that I watched once due to my elderly mother wanting to see it.

I don't BELIEVE it !

Guys pigging out on the food at a new bar opening, or a bar party and sitting on a small bottle of water all night. Oh, and Russians stopping at a bar that had a pig on the spit and asking if they could get a plate full to take down to the beach. Without buying a drink mind.

I throw a party at my local for my birthday. It gives me great pleasure to welcome all the balloon chasers that I've never seen before in that bar nursing a beer for 45 minutes.

I wander over and introduce myself, thank them profusely for coming to my party, express my sincere desire that they enjoyed the food, and then shake my empty glass under their nose while waving over one of the serving staff. "JD coke". Never fails.....I don't know why they don't stay and buy me a second drink.

Try the "shake" method.  And always have a spare full bottle to change over immediately.

I know one bloke that has two bottles all connected with valves, but only has one bottle feeding the burner.  If the bottle in use expires he simply turns on the other full bottle and there is instant gas.  He then makes sure he refills the empty bottle the following day and reconnects it so he's never out of gas.

 

i still say both girls are of the same ilk.    Who moves in a prostitute while having a proper gf?

 

Even if she was a proper prostitute?
 

 

Can you define 'proper prostitute' as opposed to an improper one, so we can understand the context of your observation.

Thanks in advance.

So easy OP. don't bother with the righteous wa******ers. Here is what you do . Tell the gf about the thai chick. She will forgive you. Actually in a day she will feel sorry for you. In her mind it will be " you stooped so low. You'll prob have better sex. Trust me she wants to believe that you think you made a huge mistake.
Second option is to tell the thai chick you want her but she needs low profile why your gf is here. Give her some play money tell her you will see her after gf goes. After that p***s her off.
The second wont work if your gf comes back. Try option 1. I've used it plenty of times. I was born a lying cheat so i just roll with it.

I like your style Brother!!

Once saw a chap on a Pattaya barstool take a slightly sideways lean in an effort to clear the passage for a fart.  Unfortunately he got more than he bargained for.

The look on his face was priceless and I could actually read his mind....."Bugger, now I know why Lonely Planet said not to trust a bargirl or a fart in Thailand"

I rent a house from an English bloke and his Thai wife.  They are living in the UK and I've never met or spoken to them.  The house is looked after by a Thai agent - a girlfriend of the Brit's wife.

Occasionally I've paid the rent a few days late, simply because the days run away from me and despite having a reminder on my Outlook, just forget to get around to it.  Never has the woman contacted me to complain.

Once I even missed a month because I had a "grey" moment and just thought I'd done it.  It wasn't until the following month's due date that I realised. I called the woman to apologise for my forgetfulness - her response was "no pompem".

Had several issues with the house such as a knackered A/C unit, knackered water pump, and faulty alarm system.  On all occasions the issues have been fixed on the same day or the following day.

Somehow I don't think I'd like the OP as a Landlord.  But then, maybe he wouldn't like me as a tenant. 

IMHE, Ladyboys give better western style haircuts than the local Somchai "barber".

If you're looking for a Lady in Red, you won't have to look too far.......
