1,000 is good for starters.

If you can learn Thai, good for you. Store clerks in Thailand don't need to learn English.

So sad. Especially for those who are now blind.

It is always illegal to work without WP

We got ours today, and it's lovely.

cool....

who knows by easter, we could have enough users..... to get a rally going!!!

this bike will be a cult icon by summer!!!

imagine all the bar girls

"if you love me... you buy me PCXi!!!"

We got ours today, and it's lovely.

Yeah the dogs in lakeland are terrible. Even if you go in with a motorbike, you will get attacked quite often. Forget about cycling or walking. But maybe if you live there you can befriend them by feeding... don't know if it works, but I would definitely try it. Sometimes a guard is cycling around there, so maybe if the dogs know you, they aren't so bad anymore.

Who has helpful answers, please?

My bike is in my boyfriend's name. The company paid. Of course, I had a Thai license, which is easy to get.

Bordering on failing to understand the question.. Why envy ??

If a straight guy felt envious of gay guys couldnt he just exfoliate and get a pedicure ?? I mean outside of sexual attraction which is what it is for either 'team' isnt the rest basically just attainable through actions totally within your control ??

I don't understand the question much, either. I knew a gay man who adopted 2 straight teenagers and organized blood drives for federal employees. My accountant friend took custody of his 2 teenagers. In some jurisdictions, gay couples can enjoy all the disadvantages of marriage and divorce and remarriage. Straight people can do oral and anal; the Bible tells me so.

Ask the lady what she wants to see. Thais aren't farang.

You can always make your wife pregnant nine times, divorce her after she cheats on you, and raise the last four kids by yourself while being gay. Or vice versa.

If it doesn't matter to them, and it matters to me, we will do things my way.

By them do you mean "thais" generally.

Them has a nicer ring than terms such as the "help", the "staff", the "minions".

C'mon now, wouldn't it be a treat to see some of those pompous hiso boys and girls shaking their thangs for the delight of the expected influx of Nigerian, indian and Middle eastern tourists that will flock as economic conditions force prices down?

And if it's such a pain to have posts needlessly quoted, why not get rid of the quote function altogether? What's so special about the OP that it has to have its quote functions removed?

Yes - several days, no problems.

My kids live on the border. Both sides are the worst part of both countries.

Most of the govt. and private schools here are chronically and tragically mismanaged. Honest Thai teachers admit it. Farang are mistreated worst. After 2 years I gave up. If you can't get reasonable terms within a year or two, quit.

For several reasons, forget Mexico.

Agreed. Cool temperatures or wet hair does not cause disease. Otherwise rain, swimming, and cold showers would always cause sickness.

I got Sripat's 3,300 baht chekup earlier this year.

Hi PB. How did you find Sriphat's level of service? Were the doctors and nurses attentive or did they seem to be in a rush? Did they speak English?

It's not English; it's Thailish. It's rubbish.

8) Not to post extremely negative views of Thailand

Going to be banning yourself then PB?

In my experience, most Thais will understand some basic English BUT only if the English words are pronounced the "Thai way".

Let me explain : I live close to Central Bangna. Not close enough to there on foot though, so I usually take a motorcycle to go there. The first few times I tried to get the driver to get me to Central, I had to repeat myself for a zillion times before he finally understood. Then I got it : instead of pronouncing Central "Central", they pronounce it the Thai way : "Centrahl".

The same goes for a lot of other words. If you pronounce water "worter", there is a good chance that they won't understand you. Try "wahter".

.

I've all but given up trying to order water in pubs/restaurants. I find WorTARRRRRRR! to be the most effective, but that only works about 10% of the time. I could understand if I were scouse, cockney, brummy, geordie or scotch, but I speak accent-less pitch perfect English.

Ahem. Try it in Thai.

Chiang Mai Ram is very expensive. Other places less so.
