When my Friends arrive its all action ,Cold Beer, some spliffs, swimming pool,massages. Food is down the list as its everywhere. 2 Longnecks and that was it? Get some true drinking Buddies.

Much as I do sometimes like DEET myself, I'll try to restrict it to clothing rather than skin.

Doubtful? try spraying a bit on anything plastic, or varnished, and see how it melts that stuff. Then think about putting it on your own skin.

They sell DEET in plastic bottles, I don't see it eating it's way out of them

Who started these rumours about DEET?, please Google 'DEET safety' to see what the experts say (or at least read my previous post). It's these 'Natural' products that are the suspicious ones.

There are of course diferent typse of plastic

Well noted but the poster doesn't specify any particular type. I've been using DEET based products for over 7 years and never been burned, had a skin rash, epileptic fit, vomiting, convulsions, heart failure, brain tumour, seizure, heart palpitations etc, etc, etc, But it's your choice and if you want to ignore the experts then go forth and feed the multitudes. By the way plain old water can be used to dissolve a multitude of things so your argument doesn't errr 'hold water'. What do you think is issued to armies, aid workers, scientists etc working in the tropics - it aint lemon juice and by the way if you distill juice from citrus fruit to 100% concentration you have a pretty mean acid. We are talking about common sense and moderation in this thread not some smarty pants hearsay.

Bar sets up for 10 o,clock start till whenever.

Head over Bridge away from Kao Sarn and all along the right hand side are loads of places to drink and enjoy. Towards first main intersection a lot of Thai bars and good people. Wish I was there now.

Reading that has given me a headache. I worry for my 4year old.

Some people are hot, some people are cold .I,ve heard it many times that the Thais should speak english to help the tongue tied traveller, but I for one care less for them, When in Rome etc. And if you dont like it root off.

Get in Taxi, Told get out Taxi. Get in another Taxi .Told get out Taxi. Get in another Taxi and off we go. Not too hard after all. I worry more about their speed not about getting first Taxi. If you were finishing shift and a fare asked to go across BKK, would you do an extra 2 or 3 hours to return to pick up point. and get fined for not having Taxi ready for new Driver at end of timed shift. get real.

Could happen anywhere, good and bad. The op should look on the bright side crappy 6oobt helmet gone,Go and get a decent one and your man sounds like he doesn,t know much about helmets that are safe. 6000bt for a half decent one

Hey now, the magical underwear Romney wears is part of his faith. The underwear keeps away the evil spirits and such.

It is sad that the democrats, their followers and the media that support them are trying to use Romney's religion as a wedge issue. The party of "hope and change" strikes again. Maybe even in his old age, Clint Eastwood got it right after all:

What I’m saying, we do not have to be masochists and vote for somebody that we don’t really even want in office just because they seem to be nice guys or maybe not so nice guys, if you look at some of the recent ads going out there.

I don't think the democrats are actually doing that. I think you are imagining that actually. His religion is off limits to the Obama campaign and it should be. The right wing party, on the other hand (you know which I mean) has been demonizing gay people for many decades now, and using hatred of gay people and opposition to their basic civil rights, which SHOULD be a birthright of ALL American citizens, as a wedge issue for them. They continue with that. BTW, your Eastwood quote had NOTHING to do with your untrue accusation of Mormonism being used by a wedge issue by the Obama campaign.

I don't know why I'm replying to an off-topic post that won't be around long. This thread is about Eastwood's speech, not Romney's religion/magic underwear or some perceived slight against gays over history by Republicans.

EASTWOOD ROCKS!

so I guess the tales that some posted on the other page about mozzie repellents being put into drinks weren't to far off then. The worldly and wise branded them as loonies running around in tin foil hats with conspiricy theories. I guess there is something to be learnt here, next time before some attack others with insults, stop for a moment and consider the possibility they may actually be more intelligent than yourselves and not escapees from the loony farm. I am refering to minority, those that think they have thier doctorates in everything known to mankind.

Stay in the Old Country Boyo as it seems by your Question that your in trouble b4 you get here. Good Luck.

The US has jailed a person under very bad, not to say inhuman, circumstances for the past 2 years under the SUSPICION that he has leaked classified documents.

If you mean Manning, that is because he is in the military and violated his oath. He is well and truly screwed, but any soldier that commits a crime has to go through exactly the same thing. Only a complete fool would have done what he did and expected anything other than what he got.

I expect they will compensate the French guy at the going market rate, being as how its not his fault.

I think he should just consider him self lucky, not being made the scapegoat "loooook wat baad farang do to our beuatifuyl Thai nature"

And jailed for 5 years or something - but i do agree, that the scumbag Farang "real-estate-agent" that properly sold him the property, an knew about it and made his decent little 8-10% of the sales price....should be hanged from the nearest electric pole.

thank most of you all for making me laugh. Is it Ironic in Thailand that my friend from op Who once had a sucessful Pheasant Farm got a visit from samui thugs and told to pack up and go, Meaning it happened because he was sucessful .

Just so we are clear - even Thais cant live on b6k a month.

Rent minimum will be 1200.w elec

Food b2500

Transport b500

Phone 100

Toiletries 150

Household 75

That is 5k.

No, it's 4525 Baht, which leaves 1475 Baht. So why can't a Thai live on 6000Baht?

Many types of Slime,not all bad. But really how can any of you negative posters deny a decent (300) wage for low wage workers, one poster mentioned its a fare wage for a Thai to live on. be fecked, many have extended family to look after and 200 is enough, crap. Dont buy Cigs,Grog,go out,medicine, schooling,its a long list. What a joke my hackles are rising.

Contact daveworm@gmail, what he doesn,t know about worms in Thailand probably doesn,t exist. Has been a mate here for over 20 years.

...and the Thai connection?????

Can any readers define Irony. I was told its near impossible. Why is that?

Most blogs very uncharitable, If hes crazy put him in a hospital. 30years is enough. Nelson Mandela served 28 and was charged with under mining the state by violent means. Have anyone read the New Testament lately.

Civil War, bit of a misnomer, cant see it happening with 76 or 77 provinces doing their own thing.

Never if you are the complaining type, Thai people are just as bothered by the weather but keep it to themselves.

Now for some questions about asylum for anyone in the know...

OK, so Assange has been given asylum by Ecuador. Done deal. Now, IF he manages to get on a plane and goes to Ecuador...what then?

Does that mean he has to pretty much stay there forever? Having been granted asylum - does that automatically come with a work permit? A life-time residence permit? Does asylum have an expiration date?

Will the gov't there give him a nice villa to live in? Or hand him the newspaper with real estate ads and tell him to get busy?

What does he do for work? Live comfortably off donations (like I believe he plans to do)?

What if he goes to another country that would extradite him? If he truly fears the US is after him I guess he will apply for Ecuadoran citizenship and stay there?

Some answers to these questions would be nice. Also, will he be able to retain his Australian citizenship if he takes out Ecuadorian citizenship?

Should'nt Julian Assange be accountable for his actions just like he insists governments should be accountable for their actions?

In Australia 73% of the people support Julian and want the Australian Government to do more to keep him out of the hands of the U.S.

I don't know where you got this figure, but I strongly suspect that you just made it up. Australians are unsure about what to do about this embarassing figure.

Essential Media also asked a further question regarding what respondents thought the Australian Government should do, if the US did decide to commence legal proceedings against Assange. 34 percent of those polled said the Australian Government should call for the US to observe due process and offer consular support, which the Australian Government has already publicly done in Assange’s case. The next highest percentage, 24 percent, said that the Australian Government should offer Assange protection from extradition and prosecution.

9 percent said the Australian Government should support US Government attempts to prosecute Assange, while 13 percent said it should do nothing, and a large percentage — 20 percent — said they didn’t know what the Australian Government should do. http://delimiter.com...e-govt-support/
