thaiIand

wasnt it at darasamuth last year that a bunch of parents had to fight for months with the school board because the teachers were persuaded that fifteen is written 'five-teen' and would not back down? When a simple google of "five-teen" would of resulted in nothing, if teachers were competent enough to take care of dead mices/cockroach or any other dead animal, they would of done this.

few of the greatest minds in the world are spawned from ghettos in America

Doesnt mean that the ghetto education isnt terrible.

goddamnit thais. All you have to do to fix this traffic is to block any car from entering the left lane. only motorbikes. The only reason it gets heavy there is because when the cutter go back in the middle lane, it stops everyone to a halt for 5secs.

Also teaching thais to accelerate faster when light turns green would help

I really dont want to go through an underpass with a bunch of deadly saladeang going the wrong way

i own both are personally i feel that bikes should of the right to park closer since they are not wasting as much space/creating as much traffic and pollution when going close to their house.

Like at tesco, most people are from 1km to 5km around, no need for a car, yet all the cars parking next to the curb make no sense, unless they are getting something big from homepro which they arent.

Affordability does come into it, but so does the level of priority you give your children.

I have wife (housewife / homemaker / full-time mother), 4-bed house, pool and a Honda. My yearly income is 800K baht per year, but I still prioritise my childs education, so 240K goes straight out on school fees.

sadly many members here are the opposite and they value their anti-nanny state view so much that they'd rather spend more on beer and give their kids a thai education.

My post on this always get reported by these "fathers" and then deleted. They only last an hour or so but i get a lot of 'likes'

I have no idea how you can spend 240k out of 800k on education, good for you. If i was in your situation and could not figure out how to do it i would simply go back home, which is what i am doing when the oldest turns 4

As a disabled customer who has trouble walking far, nothing shits me more than finding a bike in the car spots close to the shops.

This entitlement to parking close to shops comes from those "dam_n nanny-states" you all hate so much.

posters in here have not been bit by a rabid soi dog.

You'll change your mind on all of this once you get bitten by one of the larger ones.

With the level of english you have, you can't be hoping to catch a good educated girl? What would you talk about? She wont be interested in your 'what loom you stay in" talk.

the internet allows to post any picture anywhere, sorry to disappoint you. There's no copyright on such pictures especially on public forums

leaving the whole left area for bikes made sense before..

cars can park on the right or on the side of villa

and the terminal looks like a bombed sandcastle in irak. No way it ever goes functional, they need to rebuild half of it already.

yay now with no median strip there will be even more deaths on that road. High iq's in this country.

no death is rare, pickup vs pickup.

Fortunately for them, they werent driving a vios, altis or civic

of course the people pushing on phuket have businesses here that are hanging on by a thread.

With all the crap going around here, every tourist we turn away is a win.

its easy, bring something usefull and of no value. Like whiskey will be downed with horrendous soda water or cola.

Bring the grand mother a nice decorated miror to take off her grey hair and put makeup. Bring some TOOLS to the grandfather if he is handy, otherwise maybe a fleshlight(srsly) or nice sandals/boots to impress the other old ppl.

Chrome for their car? any chrome accessory means you are hiso in thailand, penis size are small so manliness is calculated with the amount of chrome you have

so already 2 recommandation for koh samet.

Koh samet is awesome. Sand is white and there is no trash in the water unlike ALL of phuket's beaches, even tthose up north.

koh samui can be part of your phuket holiday if you wish it to be, doesnt make it part of phuket.

You're still trolling from the UK bangtao boy?

Nightlife in phuket is terrible. Northen phuket/offshore island are not part of phuket.

Thailand has tens of thousands of resorts, surely a lot of them that are better than those in phuket. Phuket has nothing to offer that isnt offered somewhere else with genuine smiles.

khao lak, phangna, krabi, koh samet are all more respectable and better looking.

khao lak if you want to bored out of your mind!!!

married couple. Getting drunk with other fat old men watching 20 year old ugly girls is not what they call 'entertainment' In fact thats a boring way to pass an evening for most people of this world.

khao lak, phangna, krabi, koh samet are all more respectable and better looking.

According to the Nationchanel website, the wife has confessed to the murder at 3 am Thai time on 21/02/12. Apparently she confessed to conspiring with her brother-in-law to murder her husband, after police separated her and her mother and found their stories didn't match.

The motive given by the wife was that she and her brother-in-law were angry that her husband didn't show her mother any respect and regularly insulted her.

The murder was carried out by the brother-in-law at 9pm on the 19th while the wife was upstairs asleep and Mr Biro was downstairs watching TV drinking beer and had fallen asleep drunk. The police were not informed of the murder until some 7 hours later at 4am the next morning (by which time rigor mortis had set in).

Police Major General Somchai Uamthanon, Chumphon Police Commander, believes the case to be a simple one, sparked by having the mother insulted. [hmm...]

The brother-in-law is still on the run.

so he's a poster here. plot thickens.

YES please. But it already exists. Pattaya nightlife forums are full of them..

95% of the brits and germans in thailand are 40% of the reason i am leaving this country. Just seeing them from far away drives me nuts.

i know hes a major douchebag who parks in front of villa where the cone state that you cant park.. that was 8months ago

isnt it illegal to shame the owner of the motorcycle?

thais love calculators, they cant count. would of been a better idea to provide TI-82 calculators. With those calculator the only way for kids to play is to finally use their little thai brains and program their own games. Would be good for them to create something.
