Jao bawk khao soi baw hoo.

Baw saep, mai pbai.

What's that sucking sound?

Agree with posters above. Centara and Ban Chiang are past their shelf life.

Haven't been to the Baan Nakaa resort but it looks nice from the highway.

Correspondence with the hotel will provide you with a per-person cost for food.

For a crowd of 100, I recommend an open bar with a capped amount. Only offer cheap beer and cheap whiskey.

Expect 95% of the guests to leave immediately after the cap is reached.

They'll likely have a donation box set up so guests can dump in a few bucks (as a rough gauge, donations received will pay for the food).

Hotel can usually arrange flowers, a hairdresser for the missus, table arrangements and small gift for each guest (traditional)

Don't forget to order a shaman/medicine man/monk/tessaban high priest to officiate. He'll require an envelope with a few purples and a bottle of JWB.

Good luck.

Put lipstick and earrings on the man, he's still a man. Pump plastic in his chest -- yup, still a man.

Mince it any way you like the ltcom's got a thing for boys.

Doesn't surprise me a bit. Prolly a import Brittle.

They're queer like that.

A man in a dress is still a man.

Anyone notice a trend here?

Bad idea unless you enjoy being raped.

Personal checks I've written in the past take several weeks to clear and the receiving bank takes a percentage (~10%) of the amount the check is written for.

Thai banks suck bad.

Anybody else notice a trend?

unlimited use at 1,000 baht?

You can get 250 hours for roughly half that price.

That's online eight hours, 25 minutes a day, every day.

Smoking's a dirty, filthy habit anyway.

He should thank the nice customs agent for improving his health.

That's why I usually piss in a glass and leave it on someone else's table. Plunk a few ice cubes in for good measure.

He!l yeah.

I can envision Pattaya bargirls wearing burqas.

I use a Nokia phone and USB cable, too.

1-2-Call has a few different plans -- you have to buy them seperately.

100 hours 350 B + tax

250 hours 500 B + tax

Unused hours expire one month from activation. I've been using this setup for about a year and I'm satisfied with it.

My response is as automatic as their scam:

"No, I won't paymore than we agreed. Take me back if you can't honor the price."

They never do.

Pissed down in Nong Khai all night.

Intermittent sprinkles today.

Good for the rice.

^ Hehehe!

Brittle.

Am I a bad person?

What if everything you own is here, you haven't left the country in years, you expect to be here for many, many more years -- and very few things on the list apply?

Still a tourist, I suppose.

goofy

Sad story. TV news said locks were missing from the pump room.

Safety isn't a top priority here. We all know it. Why feign outrage when another farang is killed?

It's all part of the experience.

Ahhhh, I know!

It's in the Udon Thani, Ban Dung super secret squirrel waterpark at the ole VOA site.

Underground and completely stealth, no doubt.

Johnsonville brats are like 499 baht for a pack of 6 in Carrefour. What's the yrasimmoC (shhh ) ask for 'em?

Maybe. I've only been there a few dozen times. Never seen/heard of it. Perhaps it exists in an underground bunker.

JUSMAG? Ummmmm, no.

dbl post

I am involved in a human rights group. I have been asked to visit some people in the jails here.

yet

Can anyone offer me any advice on this as I have never done it in thailand before.

What human rights group are you involved with?

What kind of results are you expecting to find?

If you don't find those results, what will you do?

Where is this commissary? I'm interested. Is it in the Embassy compound? I've neither seen nor heard of it.

Or is this another black ops, covert operation that the Hollywood pundits from Manchester and Portsmuff dreamed up?

Those Ballpark Franks likely have either truth serum or rfid chips in them, ya know.
