Shave it off then u don't have to worry anymore.

Water filter and then boil it.

I have a friend who teaches English at Chula. Got the job with just a Masters Education - TESOL from a US university. The pay is pitiful.

I always heard the pay was crap at Universities.

A lady at a clean massage place told me her father tried to sell her for booze money to a bad place in canada. She was smart enough to know it would take her 10 years to pay back the proposed sum, not that she would ever see a bath of it. True or not it was a chilling story.

God. She would have stunk

I got married in Hong Kong. Piece of cake.

I wouldn't get involved. Just let the farang find out in his own time.

I really don't get upset when Thai's call me farang. I pretty much think they are all ignorant anyway and it's like being around a bunch of people who all have down syndrome. When they have lived in your home country (USA) for 30 years and still call you a farang, that pretty much tells you how ignorant they are. I just kind of smile at them like you would a patient in the mental hospital that just messed their pants.

I agree with this.

We should never forget these brave men.

Crap airline.....much better options than Qantas.

Don't know if it helps but I got married in Hong Kong two years ago to a Laotian lady. I'm a kiwi.

Up to Allah. Gotta punish those infidels.

no law would me a decent punishment ,,, hang is the next option

Beg to disagree with you, I am a "hang em high" type, but in this case I am willing to settle for the middle ground.

Perhaps some Ozzy could tell us the name of the unit where they house the sickos, perverts and other such low life of Ozzy criminal class.

This woman should be sent there to serve as a "comfort woman" to take care of these perverts.

She will be eligible for parole after serving four years.

The above is a prime example of what happens when "the tree huggers" and "bleeding heart liberals" take over the judicary system.

In New Zealand she'd probably get home detention and all the left-wing <deleted> would blame her upbringing and say how it wasn't her fault.

In Thailand she'd just pay off the cops.

George W Bush....a true man's man.

Thanks Callao

A few years back I was in a place called Kranuan in Khon Kaen. Pissed as a fart with Thai and Farang friends. The cops had a tent set up at a big intersection. We were drinking booze and throwing water with them. The big captain looking guy wasn't drinking though.

After a few minutes, two cops got into a pickup and drove off. Both pissed. The were going around the area warning people not to drink and drive over the loudspeaker in the pickup.

What can you say?

Thanks LL.

What about if I headed up river from Vientiane say about 20 clicks? Anything you know of up that way?

Cheers

Hi all

Will be in Vientiane from July 16 to August 7 with the missus and baby (16 months in July). My sister and one of my mates and his wife will also be there.

We are thinking of heading up to Vang Vieng for 2-3 nights to chill. Then my mate and his wife are heading to Luang Prabang from there. My sister will come back to Vientiane with us. We'd like to spend another couple of nights outside of Vientiane (within 50 Km) near a river or somewhere like that.

Any thoughts? Have been to this place : http://www.rivertimelaos.com/

It was quite nice but we'd like to go somewhere different this time.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

As one reporter put it, to actually press the button would be suicidal ! Its all about gaining political power and position in North Korea.

I absolutely agree. It would be very suicidal, but a dying nation (and that's what it is) left with one ace in their hand, and a clearly stupid leader (and yes he is) a programmed population, 1.2 million armed forces 90% of which within a few miles of the DMZ and a reserve of 8 million, which I believe represents all males between 16 and 60. A munition stockpile which is reported to be one of the largest in the world (thanks to the Chinese and Russians). Thousands of tanks and heavy artillery of every size and description. And lastly of course their nukes and possibly dirty bombs.

The vast majority of all this is poised as it has been for years right along the border.

I think that the regime will be wiped out, and we all know that immature twerp and his top military know it themselves. But do they even care? Who knows what is really going on in their pea brains.

Maybe the best they think that can come of it, is that they know for a fact they can inflict massive casualties against SK and the US bases. Never underestimate what their capabilities are. They can have massive amounts of forces in Seoul in an hour. Can you imagine the barrage from a million screaming lunatics armed to the teeth with little or no fear of death and with the belief that they can win?

In the build up to almost ALL conflicts, the public always underestimates the task of the job. I have heard so many times... The US will flatten them, they seem to think there will be no resistance. I would be very surprised if the US and SK can overcome an attack of such a huge magnitude.

The problem here, is that most people seem to be laboring under the misunderstanding that NKs military has out-dated equipment. On the contrary, they have very sophisticated and very modern conventional weapons. Considering they have been spending more than 20% of their GDP for years on their military, and it aint being spent on food.

If they do go all out, then I think people are going to be shocked to the extreme at the size of the bloodbath. It could well end up with NK occupying SK for some time and forcing the allies to fight them on the streets of their ally. Making it very long and drawn out.

They can easily soften up the US by pummeling their SK bases into submission. They may be lunatics, but they are not daft. I don't think that Thailand will be at risk, even if the US uses this place as a base. NK won't want to get stretched thinly, they will want to stay concentrated.

Just my honest opinion.

and how do you figure NK could sustain a drawn out war.

you need money, and friends to purchase goods to continue restocking your weapons.

you say they could be in seoul in an hour, are you even remotely aware of the fortifications on the border, do you think south korea with Americas backing over the years has just been setting up noodle shops.

Wars are expensive in the long run, NK does not have the means to fight for long.

I spoke to a US colonel in Seoul. He said all predictions had the NK taking Seoul in 24 hours and then heading south. After that, it would be about pushing them back.

Hopefully it doesn't stop foreigners teaching in Thailand.

What they really need to do is raise salaries and get qualified foreign teachers, not those with only a degree or less (Unless that was a B Ed.)

Why would you wanna eat at a retaurant where u piss them off.

I suppose if you are interested in eating all kinds of nasty shit they put in ur food to teach the pesky farang a lesson.

Go ahead human....make my day.
