Well, the beer was good so...

However most cases in Thailand are just "for show", so it looks like the cops are actually doing sth. If the law enforcement was atleast organized they could have seriously cut down on these types of crimes in this country.

Ibis Riverside ,standard hotel with good price.

Great quality comes with great price.

Can just hope that she's being kept alive. What I found to be the most horrific with the article is that they said there were about 100 sex offenders in the surrounding areas, is it a collective dump for these people or what is going on?

Hmm is it possible to brib-.... I mean persuade someone to do a hungry fellow a favor?

get out from the issan village! and join the civilization..

It´s not an Issan thing bud, even have that in the south so it's more a Thai thing than Issan thing.

check with Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic. Ask for implant specialist. http://www.bangkoksmiledental.com/

Well , that certainly doesn´t help since I don´t know anybody there. I think I´ve found someone who delivers but it's tripple the original price.

Farang problem of the week...

I love his music, really inspiring. Try "Nightingale" the song is touching,indeed. His music finds some peace ,takes me away from the busy daily life ( and from my nagging wife). Applause for Yanni.

I went to Tesco Lotus just to find out most of the shelves were empty.

Nontaburi area close to Tha Nam Non is still safe from flood, at least for the next few days.

I was wondering if there is any place you guys know that sells port wine. So far I have found ...none...

I had a friend who spoke fluent Thai and used to live in Bangkok. He told me he got tired of riding the bus as most of the Thais in the bus start talking behind his back about what he was doing there and why he needed to get on the bus. These were only the small topics but it later escalated in to pure hatred and that was when he decided to leave.

This case at the Amphur has nothing to do with sexism at all. The uneducated in Thailand (which has nothing to do with a BD or MD) don´t know anything outside their little world and assumes the worst of people since they can´t do anything about their own situation. This is quite a common thing in most countries however in Thailand the racism has spread into the system and some handlers like to abuse their authority simply because they don´t happen to like the person in question , whether he is black or white.

The staff at the Amphur looks at the farang as a walking ATM and if you gonna tell me its about sexism then you are dead wrong. It's a twisted assumption that everybody outside their country have better than them. Normally they wouldn´t care too mucb about the woman in question but since a farang is involved , well then the hunting season can begin. It's the same story at the immigration offices especially in Bangkok. I have encountered alot of racist remarks from the handlers at these offices but never ever down in the south which I find pretty peculiar.

Many ferangs are here because of their behavior in their homeland

And what behaviour might that be?

Thanx a mill!!!

Ive been going to Dr. Ampai at Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic. She is a great periodontist . She did a great job on my gums and teeth, she was a lil shy but very competent. www.bangkoksmiledental.com

From my experience i think Phuket 's dentists (esp. ones at tourist attraction sites) are more expensive than those in BKK or Chiang Mai . Prices actually depend on quality and grade of clinics. Most farangs friendly clinics are relatively more expensive then average.

Attend some meditation course,seriously it helps.

From what I´ve heard , even though I don 't take it seriously until I hear otherwise. But is there any truth to that when you leave Thailand and if you are carrying any electronic or computer parts such as motherboard for an example that you have to show recipt of the purchase and even pay a small amount of tax? Anyone else heard about this?

Gee, thanx for all the help. Nobody knows? Come on, if you've been living here long enough, you can´t say you crave for somethiing odd from your own country?

Villa Market has Magners and Gaymers, but I have not seen Swedish cider (which is NOT the same as fruit juice) here in Thailand, but I would love to get some!

Most IKEAs if not all, sell Swedish products including Kopparbergs Cider. As they recently opened up one in Bangkok, its worth checking it out at least.

Best? I think that's up to interpretation. Having lived in Bkk, I found it to be sort of a crapshoot.

It depends on location, the hour of the day etc etc.

Sounds more like a ploy to boost confidence in these mobile scammers

I´m soon heading for Chiang Rai and haven´t had decent Western food in a long time. Is there any hot dog joint or Pizza place you guys can recommend?
