How's he "flaming" you?

And here's a new paragraph, just because I can.

Are you people seriously plugging your laptops into your TV's? Jeez, have you not heard of TV boxes? Or is about 3K baht a bit too stiff for you?

note to self: never become an old fart

I'm surprised to learn that Thailand seems to be teeming with attractive girls desperate to learn English.

For those who don't drink, smoke or go to bars, just how much time can you spend in malls and what the hell do you do there?

What are you going to do with the bike - shopping? two-up? just for use around town?

Teenagers think it's cool to swap their headlights & tail lights so it looks like they're going in the opposite direction after dark, maybe to confuse ghosts chasing them, lunetics....

What?

Tragic - RIP

BUT- i would also say - som-nam-na!

What did the 5 year old do on a bike?

Did any one of the 2 have a helmet? i guess not!

after all this is Thailand

This forum needs a dislike button.

There's something wrong with you.

My t-shirt seller is different.

I've had an LG soundbar with wireless subwoofer for about 18 months now. Costs about 5.5k baht I believe.

I use the optical input and 3.5mm input from TV boxes and keep the TV muted.

It's only a 2.1 system, but sounds great to my ears.

Subwoofer essential in my opinion, would sound very tinny otherwise.

I think this is a very good thing. Before I liked going to Pattaya from time to time, but of late I am turned off by the amount of crime there. Before you could avoid it but lately it seems to comes find you. Ceaning up all the riffraff will be a very welcome change.

I've lived here for a few years now and am yet to be a victim of crime.

What crime are you referring to and please let me know where this doesn't happen so I can move there immediately.

Edit: apologies, a bar girl filled her small bottle of mouthwash using my big one, the minty breathed thief.

Honestly speaking you should consult for professional guidance in this case..of course TV is a huge help but personal experiences of others won't help you if things go south..most of the expats living in Thailand owning properties are also married to Thai nationals..so having a citizen by your side is an added advantage which doesn't apply in your case..of course there's always a lope hole but then the rules are constantly changing & there are many other factors that come into play as well..

The rules and loopholes are extremely well documented in tedious detail on this forum.

You're either prepared to take a risk or you aren't.

I have just ordered this one from lazada for the bedroom TV. I already have a Minix box that I bought about 2 years ago and is still going strong.

This new box looks pretty good though and together with the air mouse is a bargain.

Loads of tutorials about setting up any android TV box on youtube, no particular skill required.

Make sure the bargirl you marry doesn't have any tattoos, this way you can convince your family, friends and anyone you meet that she's a good girl and different from the rest.

Meanwhile, us normal heterosexual blokes will just carry on shagging anyone we fancy for a reasonable price. Guilt free 'cos we're blokes and like sex with different friendly women.

What amazing cuisine exactly? I must have missed that one.

Best STD clinic I know of who has cleared up everything nasty that's come my way during the last 20 years in Thailand with 15 years in Pattaya, and I guess a thousand sluts or so has to be the clinic about 20 meters in on the right hand side as you enter into Soi Lengki from Pattaya 3rd Road. He is fantastic - and to be honest, too good for this nasty city: He should be commended for spending his time here treating us lost souls on what is his personal crusade to reduce the spread of HIV AIDS and the spread of STD's in Thailand.

His clinic looks very low key from the outside - but don't let this fool you - inside he has all the high tech toys to sort out not only the latest dose of the clap going around walking street, but is also an OBS/GYNO Dr with Ultrasound gear, full lab setup and everything else you would expect in a high end hospital and has been involved in the pre-natal scans and check ups of 2 of my 5 children.

For stubborn doses of the clap/NSU, he carries out multi-petri dish lab work to investigate the most effective anti-biotic combination to treat what you have (The Gonners always comes with an assortment of NSU's - catching them all is quite difficult nowadays since bacterial infections world wide are all becoming progressively immune to antibiotics - with Pattaya claps are some of the strongest in the world)

The guy is so high end in treating stuff, I would go so far as to Christen him a boffin - outside all the high end STD/GYNO work he carries out there, he keeps 2 meters crocodiles in the shop (live ones not stuffed), takes joy out of showing you his latest guns and targets from his families last weekend's shooting session 'nice grouping' , keeps cats, keeps a massive offroad truck in the waiting room, goes scuba diving and flies large model aircraft. Get the picture

The guy was recommended to me by a 25 years experienced go-go bar owner from Walking Street and the is pretty well known amongst old timers. He sorted out around miscellaneous 20 doses of evilness my end. The worst dose he sorted out was from a long time girlfriend and Walking Street mamasan - which recurred all by itself as un-earnt doses(no shagging involved) for several months after I handed her the Spanish Violin. 'dirty cow' . (The gogo name will not be mentioned here) apparently about 1/3rd of all the dancers and staff (yep serving girls too) were dosed up at one time or another, so be careful out there guys.

I was going to suggest the clinic between Beach Road and Second Road on Pattaya Tai - on the LHS when coming from BR. Yours sounds more fun though.

Would that be the first clinic on the left coming from second road?

Reasons for the suggestion please?

I'm not sure. As I said it's on the lhs coming from beach road, about 150 metres. It has a black windowed front.

Reason for recommendation is that I have had to go here twice and have received, imho, excellent care. Just don't look at any of the many photos on the walls.

Some elderly man died! Now that's some news!!!!!

I wouldn't have thought 61 was old for most people, especially the Japanese.

Decent deodorant and Easter eggs if the right time of the year.

I wear rubber shoe shoes around the house because nothing seems to be grounded. If you don't, then you get a little tingle if you touch something metal that is plugged into a live power point. For example, Mr. Bitey always does a little shake when he climbs up onto the ovens to stay warm because he's getting a shock. But he persists. He's good at figuring out the exact time after the oven has been turned off to make his move. Never been burned, and he's willing to put up with a little shock to get warm. The calico climbed up on the oven once, trying to push Mr. Bitey off, got a shock and basically said "scr@w this". She's never gone back. Maybe that's why Mr. Bitely likes the top of the oven. To get away from her.

Your cat needs to find somewhere warm in Thailand?

Where I come from in Ontario the police have the ride program during holidays. Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere. And then there is the MADD program..Mother's Against Drunk Driving. Get caught and a $2000 dollar fine ,one year suspension of your license. when you can drive your car you have to install a interlock in the car that requires you to blow into it to start the car. And you pay for the installation and calibration. And if that wasn't enough your insurance goes sky high. All said and done it be $20000 out of your pocket.

A lot of bars have free van service to drive you home. Of course you tip the driver. Just leave your car in the parking lot. The days of drinking and driving are a thing of the past. They need tough laws here like that if want to reduce the death rate on the highways and roads.

In the UK the insurance rates used to be massively increased following a drink driving conviction. Until the insurance companies realised that the recidivism rate was remarkably low.

After this the rates came down to about 80% loading and decreasing over the next four years as the companies actively pursued getting the business of the ex drink drivers.

The first day of the " 7 deadly days " claimed 39 lives.

This leaves another 258 days during 2016 for these murdering scum to use their weapon of choice to kill and maime, which either has 2 , 4, or more wheels.

39 ( avg ) / day x 258 days = 10,062 more potential deaths on Thai roads over the coming year, and God only knows how many injuries.

An absolutely disgraceful statistic, for which the Thai Authorities should be thouroughly ashamed.

Figures such as these should be published from a major conflict zone, such as Iraq, or Afghanistan, not a popular Tourist destination.

I'm not sure your maths stands up to scrutiny.

Many thanks

Anyone know where I can get the equivalent of Cillit Bang in the Pattaya area? I can't remember ever seeing such a product.

Thanks

The Thais are mostly giving way to those on their left. If they're actually on the roundabout, they give way to vehicles wanting to enter the roundabout. In theory, the roundabout could fill up and no one would ever be able to move again lol

So i obviously failed to stir your imagination and just possibly look at things from a different perspective. I tried to give some good examples as to why some may have a preference different from yours as indeed did MaeJoMTB, but you can only conclude with a negative uninformed comment.

I think you'll find that this is his preferred style. His already perfect world is greatly enhanced by dismissing the opinions of, as far as I can see, everyone else.

I think you'll find that Soi 6 attracts the lowest of the low, the dregs of society. This doesn't include the girls BTW.
