I have a Dtac GPRS connection for my PC.... it's in my wifes name.

There are no phone lines here in the village.

costs me around 1400 baht per month........ pretty good value

Just going by percentages the village that I live in definately does NOT have a high number of beautiful woman.... the good looking ones have all gone south to Bangers and Pattaya

Sure there are some very cute 16 year olds but we are not allowed to look at them

And at a guess at least half of the women have a weight problem....... talk about lard asses...... must be all that cooking oil and sitting on ya bum 24/7 playing cards

Yes Thailand has many beautiful woman but hanging around the gates of Ram University is going to distort your perspective a little ...... get out in the provinces if you dare....

Use a good sport deodorant....... that aussie stuff Rexona has got me some good compliments... perhaps it has that "jolly swagman" smell

this is for all me home sick aussie mates! sing it loud..... go you good thing

And the best advice ......shave off the hair on the top of your fingers and toes... I'm an ape ape man.....

crossed over that little bridge last week..... the immigration official, (jumped up little hitler) would only accept $5 US, he would not take any baht. I had to go back and get $5 from a Thai bank

I think it's a case of if he doesn't like the look of you he will demand US currency

Take $5.... and don't buy any porn cd's from the touts on the Burma side unless

you like to look at a blank screen

some women do strange things with their feet when they are nearing orgasm... perhaps she is also getting cramp at the same time.....

steady on big fella

But seriously, go with your gf and have a talk with the Doctor

nice boring moderated chat

Thanks for posting this George......

I have told the family and they should have the rice in by tomorrow.

They usually don't listen to weather reports and just go by their instincts.

It sure is dry here...... and they still light fires on the side of the road.

The first and only Thai Girl I ever went out with told me she had never Kissed a guy before, she was 28 years old... I didn't believe her

At the end of our first date I was saying goodnight to her on the main road outside her apartment and I gave her a kiss on the cheek, in public for all to see .... talk about a dumb ass and not knowing the right thing to do..... the shock on her face told it all and I realized I had made a big mistake.

The next day I called and apologized for my mistake and embarrassing her.

Months later she told that me that if I had not made that call I would not have got a second date.

After 3 months of dating we had our first kiss....... did she like it ??? a little too much..... she was very aggressive..... I was wondering why I had these little bruise marks around my lips

2 months later I am up in Issan doing the big family visit thing ..... when I think no one is watching us I give my gf a quick kiss...... her 9 year old niece sees us and bursts out crying and runs to tell Granny..... she had never seen people kiss before.

Oh!... and I did end up getting married and I still often get those bruise marks

Tip: trying kissing without the smell of booze on your breath.....beer is the worst

The best solution is for this guy to suddenly become remorseful and be found hanging in his cell...... easily arranged don't ya think?????

Should more snow come to Thailand better teach an old Eskimo-wisdom to the children:

"NEVER, eat yellow snow!"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Eskimo men sometimes let other men sleep with their wives. Often the point was to affect some desired outcome such as better weather or hunting conditions.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sounds like it's the same in Thailand, except the desired out come is to get the farang's cash

Nice photo...... she looks like my wife's aunties...... perhaps there's a connection between Eskimo's and Isaan people at the time of the ice age

I was banged up in a one bed room apartment with my girlfriend for a while , nice girl, I married her.... and I must be criminally-orientated scum because I bribed a cop who caught me driving at 135kph down that nice 4 lane highway between Khon Kean and Chum Pare.

yeah it was a nice cool cloudy day...... it's been hot these past few weeks.

Now if you come and visit, you'll need your sunglasses on because the colour of the fence is so bright...... and be careful you don't fall out of your pickup when you drive up because your laughing so hard

Khim is to blame..... now our house looks like a pre-school, we should paint some animals on the fence

Well this week my wife and I have had requests for 100,000 30,000 and 5,000 and gee! it's only wednesday

One sister asked for 100,000 to pay off the police.... read the story "Arrested for Drugs" if you want.....

One sister asked for 5,000 to pay her gambling debts...... sorry the answer was no.

Cousin came up from Bangkok to ask for 30,000 because someone was going to kill her if she did not pay her gambling debts, we said Yes to her

&lt;deleted&gt;...... yep you heard right

Cousin signed over her 10 rai of rice land to my wife and we now have the use of that land until the debt is repaid.

The 10 rai is part of a large family land that the grandfather divided between his family.

So what is the average profit from 10 rai of good paddy fields???? 10,000 baht maybe???? not sure..... ask me in a years time if I regret this decision and is my back ok and can I stand up straight

I should also say that the money has not all been flowing out one way and that one of the Sisters gave us 100,000 wedding gift .... oh such a sweet lady

I agree Doc,

Khim was up at Phu Kradung in January 1987, she did not see snow but there were very heavy frosts, she reckons they almost died because of the cold

M, there is 2 rai going with that house..... I think we are talking about the same property.... the one about 1.5km up the road just before the next village. The old girls first price was 2 mil but we got her down to 1.4.... we went and looked at it 5 times and took some of the builders with us to get some idea of what it would cost to finish it. If those solid timber windows were replaced with glass it would improve the natural light inside. The internal staircase would not be good for our expected little one.... but I did like the garden and it is just the right distance from the village so that we would not be bothered with relatives spending most of the day there

But in the end Khim did not like it

Yes I would guess a lot of guys would give me some flak for building a house as my dowry.

But I think it is money well spent as I can really stay here as long as I like and Mum does not think of it as her house...... it's the families home and that includes me. If the guys new khim and about her life, strugling to put her self through university while working in some terrible factory jobs sending every last baht home to support her mum and often going without food...plus I am her first boyfriend and hopefully last they would see that what is just a little money for us can go a long way to make a famlies life very happy. I'm sure T has had similar experiences as it seems that most girls from the village start working in the factories.

Another person has died in the village today..... an old guy that lived near the bridge...... so we are of to pay our respects.

8 people have died since I have lived here...... from April

I hope they don't think I have brought bad luck to the village...... they might throw me out

ok seeya

James

Thanks M,

yes the relatives have been busy out in the fields harvesting rice today so it was nice for Khim and I to have the house to ourselves for a change .

The people here don't seem to respect your privacy very much during the day, some of the relatives just wonder in and take a dump in the toilet, after all what other reason would we have two bathrooms for unless it was for their use.

Yes the house is still standing, a few little cracks in the plaster which I will have to fix soon. I have been painting the front fence today, Khim chose a very bright orange/yellow, about the same colour as the road markings. At the end of the day a group of neighbours had gathered watching me paint. I thought they were talking about how bad the colour was and this falang must bah, but no they were marveling at my clever invention...... a broom handle in the roller to make it easier on my back

This house is really Mums dowry and I have been seriously thinking of building a decent size house for us next year just a little way out of the village and make this place my permanent home.

I had a look at the teak house for sale up the road.... the old girl wants 1.4 mil for it. The house needs a lot of work done as it is only 3/4 finished on the inside.

Khim did not like it as someone had said that there were a few ghosts that live there

ok got go

An Update -

The interview went very well yesterday, as it turns out is was with the Probabtion Service not the police, I was never asked to show my passport or any bank statements etc....

The officials wanted Mum to give them the details of her daughter's (Nam) life and the problems she had. Mum was asked to be totaly honest with her answers.

The interview went on for over 90 minutes and in that time mum got to find out what Nam has been up to these past years.

But what shocked Mum the most was Nam was also arrested for buying ilegal lottery tickets in Loei in August. So Nam had traveled all the way from Pattaya to Loei and she didn't even bother to come and see Mum. The bus she was on would have passed through our village which is 60km south of loei.... twice infact, there and back. Well Mum of course took this as a big slap in the face and Nam, the little princess, is going to pay dearly for that.

Nam had a postive test to yabba in her urine, she was working in a bar in Pattaya.

Mum was given the choice of having her daughter sent home to her and be under here care and responcibility or have her sent to a rehab camp for six months.

Well little princess is going to rehab, I do hope it is a "boot camp"

She will truly deserve what she gets as she also tried to scam the family out of 100,000, she tried that with two of her sisters.

When she first called the family pleading for help she had told us that she was locked up at police station and had been since the begining of the month, well the truth is she only spent one night.

She sure put on a good act when she called her sisters, begging for help and she promised to return to the village to live with Mum and when they refused to help with any cash, Nam tried emotional blackmail and said "you don't love me, why you treat me so bad I'm your sister"

That girl sure has a chip on her shoulder about something..... she didn't even come to our wedding in June. Nam is the middle child in a family of 7 and she is Mum's favourite.

At the end of the interview Mum was given 100 baht and thanked for her honest answers.

I do know that Nam is involved with a German and a Aussie and that they are both sending her money and I bet she has more than two sending her cash each month.

The German guy sent Nam a letter to our address saying how nice it was that she had returned to live in the village I was going to write to the guy and tell him the truth but my wife said it was best just to let her go as she does not think of her as family anymore.

So I wonder how many girls named Nam are working in Pattaya??

If your gf soon tells you that she will "be away for six months camping in the forest (going to rehab) but please still keep sending the cash", then email a photo of her to me and I'll see if it matches "our princess"

Thanks for all the advice

I forgot to say that 5 years ago the sister in-law was arrested for using yabba and the family had to pay 3000 baht to get her out of the police cell, she was 18 at the time and promised the family to be good from then on..... sounds like she went on to be a bargirl and is now into dealing.

Mum has just had a call from her and she has been in the police cells since 2 December, she is pleading for help but Mum has told the family that she does not want anyone to pay a bribe to get her out as she wants her daughter "healed" from using drugs. She must be thinking she would be sent to one of those drug rehab camps, she might think differently if she got a 30 year jail term.

Thanks for the replies so far

James

Earlier this month in Pattaya my Thai sister in-law was arrested for drug use. The family has not had contact with her for two years and odds are is that she is a bargirl and got caught in one of those police raids of the bars where they drug test the girls, she had a postive test to yabba.

Two days ago the sister in-law calls my wife and asks for our help which would consist of us taking a trip from Loei to Pattaya with a big bag of cash (100,000) to buy off the officials etc... My wife said "Mai Mee Tarng" (no way)

Just 30 minutes ago we had a visit from a government official at our home.

The official is from a department that my wife has translated as "control of people with drug". The sister in-law gave the police our address as mum lives with us.

The official proceeded to write down what posessions we own, our new car, house and contents, right down to how many fans we had, electrics and plumbing etc....

The official then told us we had to report to the police station for questioning first thing tomorrow morning. Mum has to come and tell everything about her daughters life and I have to prove where the money came from to build the house and buy the car etc..... This I hope should not be a problem as I have documents showing fund transfers from my New Zealand bank accounts.

So what do you guys think of all this?? I need some advice on how to be prepared for this interview tomorrow.

I only met the sister in-law once and she is a real moody B*TCH

Thanks in advance

James
