"Uhhh I (the speaker's name is Deo, which she uses as a first person pronoun--very common for women (and gay men)) have worked for about two months. I can get you a job. (You will get) rich. Really. But you can't go back home before I do. I get it that there are lots of handsome men. ha ha....."

Thanks mate

Can anyone translate this please?

Thanks in advance

I really don't get being such a tight arse whe non holiday. Surely one wants to enjoy themselves when taking a break no?

Assuming europe doesn't default, any chance the flooding could have a +ve effect on my £?

Any idea how long something like this would take to get back to normal?

I have around 3 domestic return flights booked with them for December. Tbh unexpected as much. Easy jet is the same. Still cheap by western standards though so no complaints here.

The 2nd one looks photoshopped.

Hmmmm if you can wait till December id be happy to bring you some from the UK.

100 crocs? Are they full grown or babies? Either way I hope they catch them all sooner rather than later.

Question to all. How long does before the flooding usually clears up? I have read that Bangkok floods every year but assume not as bad as this?

Good thing you didn't get the 2 mixed up. Could have ruined a perfectly good tea bag.

dam_n I should have checked air Asia. I went with emirates in the end - £830 but I booked this back in June. (for December) At the time I did see some for around £550 with Gulf Air and Air India but I had read some horror stories about lost luggage so I didn't want to chance it. It's my first time so I want things to go smoothly. I just hope it doesn't snow.

airasia doesnt seem to use the flight search engines, can only book direct with them online ... but 830 pounds is pretty steep !, who did you book with ? and extra 370 pounds you could of had buisness class

Emirates mate

Thanks for the advice mate, sounds a bit harsh but ill take on board you and the other ex pats have obviously seen similar stories before. Reading it back though it does make sense what you say haha.

As for cash handouts, I'm not a tight wad or anything but I work hard-ish to be able to take a month off work and blow whatever I like so I'd sooner squeeze a pebble through my japs eye than hand out cash. Don't get me wrong I got no qualms doing a bit of beach clothes shopping but I'm not just gonna hand over 10k.

Also she has talked about marriage. Now I'm no idiot but she's really hot so I had to keep this thing going by agreeing that we are mutually exclusive and what not. Permission to ask her mother to marry allegedly costs 400,000 bhat. Good thing I'm not thai is what I say.

I'll see how it goes when im out there. If she is great company in Krabi and isn't too high maintenance I'll take her to Phangan but if not I'll come up with an excuse and go solo. Ive got a week in Chiang mai and chaing rai to myself before I see her plus a week at the end where I haven't where I wanna go yet. I'm thinking Kanchanaburi.

Btw apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread.

I really don't get this love = money thing. Usually when I hear of somethng like this I think that they just don't respect the farang and only want to see how much money they can extract.

Anyway im headed there in 2 months time for a month and then am looking to re locate from work (UK) to Bangkok. I've been talking to this 1 girl for a few months and it's fair to say we are pretty into each other. I'm 29 and she is 22. She works for some production company doing quality assurance and she's booked some time off work for when I come with a view to accompanying me to Krabi and possibly Koh Phangan.

I've got no problem paying for her flights which will probably come out at 4-5000 bhat for each trip. Obviously ill be paying for the hotel as well as food drink and daily spending money but the came at me with a weird question this week. She essentially asked me to pay her the equivilent of her monthly salary for the time she is with mr, as compensation for her taking time off work. Now I tried to ask her if she had the concept of paid leave where she worked but I couldn't understand whether she was playing dumb or just emarassed at my answer. Needless to say I declined saying I was upset that she was even asking me.

Her and her sister gossip on each others facebook wall every day and when im feeling nosey ill run a few 'extracts' through an online translator and it turns out the mother was asking her to ask me, but her sis said it was a dead tradition and not to bother or risk 'losing me'. On the mum she sends home 15,000 out of her monthly 25,000 wage. I said to her look waan jai if you want more money to pay loom lent then don't send so much to your mum. As far as I know her mum sits on her arse in Ubon raking in a monthly racket wage from her 3 daughters.

I like the girl and am still looking forward to seeing her but I do have a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth. I actually really like her (course I do, why wouldn't I) but im thinking to maybe keep my options open. I'm not really a big P4P guy tbh. I might hit a club to check out some freelancers but I don't think ill be spending my evenings in Nana, except for maybe 1 evening to see what all the fuss is about.

Scary stuff. Did some crocs not also escape in Pattaya? I wonder how many they hope to capture.

So if this goes ahead will all the would be suicide bombers call it a day? If so then bring it on.

With the girls so willing to bareback and condom use non existent with thai men this isn't exactly surprising.

Hi all,

In a few months time ill be hitting Thailand and Cambodia for the first time. I thought a blog would be a good way to do a trip report. I'm going for around a month and will be posting daily updates on my activities as well as other useful info I pick up in my day to day travels. There will be plenty of pictures and videos posted each day so I hope you all enjoy reading.

The plan is to keep this updated as I visit various countries in SE Asia so this trip is just the start. I only just set it up today and im still finding my way around word press so please bear with me whilst I sort things out.

If there is anything specific you want me to cover when I go feel free to ask here or on the blog and ill do my best to include it. I leave December 15th.

Thanks

Read today that scientists are to study sharks with a view to potentially cure diseases such as dengue as well as hepatitis. Will be years yet of course but fingers crossed.

Ah yes the good old peace loving religion that is Islam. What ever happened to the Buddhist counter group that was formed to fight back against these no bacon eating psychos? Thai's united were they called?

What needs to happen is all these lot should be rounded up, and sent on their way to Iraq or Afghanistan. Im sure they will fit in just fine there.

I will get into Chiang Mai on the 16th December (from London). I'm happy to bring you some xmas decorations, so long as it's not going to occupy too much space. Would you believe in some dept stores are already selling xmas <deleted>.

Used to have some family in Nairobi years ago but around the early 90's that place went down the shitter big time. I remember one story my uncle telling me, he was driving along a road and there were a few cars blocking the road ahead. He got out to see what was the hold up and these 2 guys had a bit pot of blood, they said it was infected with all sorts of shit and unless he gave up his money they would throw it all over him.

Would never go back there now. Was actually just reading today about a Finance Director from over here who was killed there on the weekend and his wife kidnapped. Dodgey as fk now that place is.
