they have most apartments/ serviced apartments in Pattaya

<br />Suppose to be a new night market selling retro, antiques stuff near Jatuchak converted from a old train station and it's name is call Talad Rot Fai.<br />

<br /><br /><br />

Well maybe there might be a couple because there is a 'dalat rot fai' which is near Makassan station almost underneath where the tollway comes down onto Ploenchit. It is open every day and sells fruit/veg, all kinds of cooked food and some clothing and homewares

Here are a lot of the Talard Nat or markets in Bangkok actually 20'

the website you need is

http://www.100talad.com/

but it is in Thai so you may need someone to read it for you

Apparently, in between of eating durian and drinking alcohol, having some mangosteen will do the trick...

But this might be another urban legend !?!

No this is not an urban legend

mangosteen and durian

1 is acid

1 is alkali

so they balance each other out and also stop you getting a tummy upset

Which antivirus software do you have installed? Is it up2date, did you run a full computer scan?

What happens if you google for 'free antivirus'?

Click on the first result, it should bring you to http://free.avg.com/ If any other website shows up your browser has probably been hijacked by a trojan. (I don't recommend AVG though!)

Go with Malwarebytes as has already been suggested. If it finds any infections, copy/paste the log file here.

Also download Hitman Pro from here: http://download.cnet.com/Hitman-Pro-3/3000....html?tag=mncol

It is fast and not popular enough yet to be blocked and sabotaged by trojans that are already on your system.

welo

www.filehippo.com

get malware anti malware and say AVG

both are free

Also WinPatrol which shows active programs and warns of programs trying to load in background (e.g. viruses)

do a full online scan and this will find and repair any viruses

Many virus prigrams now write in windows regristry and disable anti virus programs so it is important to do an online scan first to check if you are infected

finally CCleaner which cleans cookies, temporary files (where viruses lurk) etc

without a doubt, i'm gonna go with 'trojan horse'. sure, you could have a more simple issue, but when you mention you can't get your updates (from those programs, which i'm unfamiliar with), sounds like you've been hijacked.

back up all your data and re-install windows from scratch.

FIRST

do a FREE online virus scan

and that will fix trojan]s if you have any

just type in Google

online virus scanner

Yes! totally agree.

Firefox is free and quicker than Explorer.

Go to www.filehippo.com

and also get ccleaner

this will clear all your cookies etc

also get WINPATROL also free

this will show you what programs are starting with your computer. What hidden browser items etc

also here are many FREE anti-virus. anti spyware programs

a little computer housekeeping will make your computer work better and faster

Enjoy delicious Thai food!

The more spicy it is the more you salivate and perspire which cools your body temperature and helps quench your thirst.

This is one reason why Asian people can stick the heat better than us Farang.

I eat Issan food every day and have adopted to diet well.

My problem only happens when I visit the UK as I have no desire for Western food which is bland compared to Thai food.

Australian Man accused of abandoning his child at Pattaya Hospital

3rd June 2010

I am a guest in this country and I am happy here. I also RESPECT the Thai Authorities and the Thai people.

Youre not all that bright are you! How can anyway attach an article from one of these Pattaya papers and stand by it as gospel ..... I bet you used to get so excited at the fantastic stories in the Daily Sport.

It was actually Pattaya TV news website.

and unlike you I would not read sleazy papers like the Daily Sport and have no knowledge of your reported fantastic stories therein.

The fact is an 8 month baby was abandoned at a local hospital. My hearts goes out to the baby.

the topic was about the baby but has degenerated will silly comments like yours re the daily sport.

Maybe I am not all that bright as you say, but I don't stoop to silly comments like your about your daily sport.

a baby was abandoned by papa

That is sad.

That is what this forum topic was supposed to be about.

but as the Bible declares...

out of the heart the mouth speaks.

and out of your mouth comes comments about sleazy newspapers.

out of my mouth comes concern about an abandoned baby.

Ron had enough common sense to drop the baby off at a hospital. Not a bad person at all.

It is illegal to abandon a child or infant at the hospital, a ridiculous law which is why newborns are oft found abandoned in not so ideal situations.

He probably figured, better the hospital than the police. It isn't clear to me within the article that he is the father.

Whatever country we live in we have to respect the local laws.

If you go to a Muslim country that forbids alcohol, it does not matter if you agree or not, You still have to obey the law.

So even if you assume this is a ridiculous law that makes it illegal to abandon a child at an hospital, it is still the law of the land.

The 8 month old baby is the innocent victim, not because of the law but because it was abandoned by papa.

WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH A STORY OF A FATHER DUMPING AN 8 MONTH BABY?

In answer to your question. I have been here for the most part of 7 years and intend to stay here. I also look after my Thai family.

Firstly my post was in regards to your comments to other posters here as their views dont match yours

You then tell people to go home if thye dont like it etc etc blah blah blah

Lets not leave that little part of your post out shall we

My post again so you clearly understand ,was about your outlandish comments to other posters

Your views on the child are your views ,and you have a right to make them as others do

And so does everbody else,nobody is right or wrong here mate

So again,

So we are clear

Stay on the topic

YES STAY ON THE TOPIC INDEED.

a baby was abandoned by it's father.

SOME (not all) used this as as excuse to attack all things Thai. So my point was....if they think all things Thai are SO BAD. then to those who feel that way.....GO HOME.

EVEN in the UK.....I imagine the authorities would wish to question the father as to WHY he abandoned his child. The TV and newspapers would have a field day reporting the story.

But BEFORE THE FACTS were known....MANY people made comments condoning and actually applauding the fact that the baby was abandoned at a local hospital. Others said it was a drug problem. Don't ban drugs and everything would be OK etc..

Others used this sad story to attack all things THAI.

So my query was.... if these anti Thai posters were so hostile to all things Thai...then why stay here? GO HOME.

I believe that was a fair comment.

My heart goes out to this 8 month old baby who is the innocent victim here.

PATTAYAONE.NET REPORTS

Australian Man accused of abandoning his child at Pattaya Hospital

3rd June 2010

Just after 3am on Thursday, Police Major Supagrit from Pattaya Police Station was called to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital after medical staff reported the discovery of a baby that had been apparently left there by a foreign man. Staff mentioned that they had earlier spoken with the man, thought to be from Australia and known only as "Ron" aged 60. He had taken the 8 month old girl to the Hospital as she would not stop crying. Moments later the baby was found abandoned. The mother of the child is Khun Orasar aged 26, who is currently incarcerated at Pattaya Police Station after failing a drugs test. She claimed she was searching for a child minder when she was stopped by Police and later urine tested. The child was left in the care of its father who was later contacted to organize bail for his wife and to collect the child. He refused to do so and told Police to send the child to the mother's family home in Roiet Province in the North-East of Thailand. A cousin of the incarcerated mother came to the Police Station later on Thursday Morning to collect the child. Police would now like to speak with Mr. Ron to find out why he no longer wishes to care for his child or bail his wife from Prison.

So it is clear

1. He is the FATHER

so

2. He has a LEGAL responsibility

3. He has a moral responsibility.

So why all the flamers.....oh an innocent tourist etc.... more attacks on Farang etc etc...

If you are so UNHAPPY with Thailand then WHY stay here.

When I read thaivisa forums I see time and time again many people using ANY excuse to attack Thailand, the Thai authorities, the Thai people.

If they bother you so much......GO HOME

I am a guest in this country and I am happy here. I also RESPECT the Thai Authorities and the Thai people.

You maybe a guest

But other people here on this forum are owners of businesses ,fathers,mothers of Thai chlildren etc etc

Pretty much from all walks of life and in this forum they wish to represent and speak about their hopes and fears of the place they call home

Especially so ,in the last few months they have many more fears

I dont know what country it is that you come from,but in the U.K and the western world if you were to talk to foreigners there with such disdain as you do with us here ,you would be regarded as a rascist

Have some courtesey and respect,for people that have i am sure been here longer than you

And have a lot more to lose

or win !!!

Read through the posts again ,so you can understand clearly understand what has happened with this story now

Oh ,and by the way just so we all can add substance to your infantile comments

Could i ask ,how long have you lived here ????

the infantile comments come from you.

An 8 month baby was abandoned in a local hospital.

Suddenly the guy doing the dumping was a tourist, innocent, a good guy etc. and MANY people making comments used this sad incident to attack Thailand, the Thai authorities etc..... and excusing or condoning the fact that it was the father of the child who abandoned him.

Now in your INFANTILE reply you state......But other people here on this forum are owners of businesses ,fathers,mothers of Thai chlildren etc etc

Pretty much from all walks of life and in this forum they wish to represent and speak about their hopes and fears of the place they call home

Especially so ,in the last few months they have many more fears

I dont know what country it is that you come from,but in the U.K and the western world if you were to talk to foreigners there with such disdain as you do with us here ,you would be regarded as a rascist

WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH A STORY OF A FATHER DUMPING AN 8 MONTH BABY?

So I am unhappy with 2 things and I am now a racist?

1. an abandoned child...dumped by its father.

2. Many used this story as another excuse for attacking Thailand and all things Thai. But by pointing out this obvious FACT... I am speaking to people with disdain?

Maybe you should start at page 1 and read the many anti Thai statements.

In answer to your question. I have been here for the most part of 7 years and intend to stay here. I also look after my Thai family.

go here for to learn and hear Thai words and phrases

and it is FREE.

Unless he is guilty of criminal acts, let it go.

Personally I have no problem with farangs being politically involved.

is this political or a part of a so called class war.....

Amid much swearing he is heard to say: “We’re going to burn down Central World,” and threatening to loot gold and jewellery from the shopping centre.

OH I see the class war he refers to invloves looting gold and jewellery. Interesting class war.

I am a Farang and a guest in Thailand and respect the law of the land. As guests we have no right to be involved in a Thai political problem. Far too many Farang like to mouth off about Thailand as if the Thai people are stupid and need their self styled superior Farang opinions.

Some time ago I got a copy of a Condo Guide for Pattaya and I was happy to get it until I read the puffed up editorial attacking Taskin etc...

This magazine was published by a Farang who also deals in real estate.

After reading this I decided he would NEVER get my business.

If he wants to promote real estate fine

If he wants to use his Condo guide to attack Taskin then that is disgusting and deceptive as people who open his condo guide are not expecting to be bombarded by his self righteous views of Thai politics or Thai politicians. Why do some Farang have to open their big mouths and embarrass the rest of us.

go here if you want movies of good quality

www.ahashare.com

it is Canadian and an excellent site for movies, tv shows etc

So what to do? I need to bring in a pile of sterling dosh to buy a car in May/June. Bring it in now or wait?

Sean

Dont give their families a dime.  I never did besides helping her mother and

  Some of the brothers and sisters tried to pry some $$ out of me but I just

cried poor-mouth and now they wouldnt even think of asking.

Once you crack open the wallet for 1 - the rest will come running like

blood sucking leeches. 

It's amazing reading posts like this. I am continually amazed at the farang guys that come here and appear to be completely ignorant to the culture - and the trappings thereof. If you can't handle it, pack your bags and go home.

If his in-laws if were white, would there be more willingness to help? And would he ever refer to them as 'leeches'? What a charming chappie.

It's this holier-than-thou attitude which gives farangs a bad rap and with the sort of claptrap and the condescending drivel posted here, I am surprised you're even welcomed by your wives'/gfs' families.

Start showing some respect for the country and the people that didn't invite you here. You made your own way here so accept what you find and for God's (and ours') sake, stop bitching and stop making crass statements.

Nuff said.
