    Phuket jet-ski operator attacks Israeli tourists

    in Phuket News

    Posted

    I was almost the victim of the ol' jet-ski scam. It turned out to be one the funnest experiences I've ever had in Thailand...or anywhere else. thumbsup.gif

    More details please on how you escaped?

    "Second best time to plant a tree is today" sent from note 2 TV app

    Well, my girlfriend wanted to go to Pattaya and ride a jet-ski (a long time dream of hers). It was getting dark when we got to the beach. We rented a jet-ski and had a grand old time. (It also happened to be my first time on one.) We had our fun and drove back to shore. Upon returning the jet-ski, the owner accused me of losing the key and demanded that I give him 1,000 baht for a new one. (Yes, I know what you're thinking. If I lost the key, how the hell did I drive the jet-ski back to shore?) Of course I said "no way" and he complained that he can't afford to buy a new key because he's poor and any money he has is for milk for his baby. He happened to be drinking a beer as he was saying this. My girlfriend thought that was funny and told him as much. He didn't like that and started yelling at us and threatening all types of violence. I suggested we go to police station to sort it out and he agreed. So, we went to the police station and talked to a fat old European (German, perhaps?) dude who was acting as some kind of liaison between the police and foreign folk with grievances. Of course the European dude was no help at all. Anyway, after about 10 minutes of arguing and getting nowhere, the idiot jet-ski operator got up to take a piss (bless that beer). As soon as the men's room door shut, I looked at my girlfriend and quietly said "run". We legged it and caught one of them bus type things that was miraculously and mercifully passing in front of the police station as we flew out of it. I can still see the ever shrinking silhouette of an irate jet-ski scammer shaking his fist. Man, we laughed for weeks. Five years later...I'm still laughing.

    Getting sober in Phuket

    in Phuket News

    Why do we never see articles praising people who've been teetotalers all their lives? (Outside of The Watchtower, I mean.)

    No offense, but what's to praise? Normalcy?

    From what I've seen, the norm is to drink. Not drinking makes one exceptional.

    That is indeed very rare. And they are going to stay blue. Be proud.

    What should blue eyes instill pride in a parent? (I mean...outside of some White Supremacist survivalist compound.)

    (Gorgeous baby, OP.)

    Old Farangs are Losers

    Old farangs are not losers. (But any farang who chooses to live in Thailand is.)

    Why are you on this forum ? Tell us, we can take it. Tell all your thoughts regarding us or even me who you have never met that resides in LOS.

    Can't wait for your answer. intheclub.gif

    I was living in Thailand before most of this forum's members knew where the place was. (You among them, probably.) I was there for work. I go back several times per year to visit my daughters, to see old friends, and, on occasion, make new ones. I quite like Thailand, really. I'm just...umm...amused by the foreigners living there who have "exchanged a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage". I haven't given up...haven't taken the easy way out. And I can still tell **** from Shinola. Apparently you have a problem with that. It's your problem, not mine.

    Should I go out tonight

    I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but that's quite a shallow, pointless life you have.

    Don't worry, there is more to my life than what has been written here.

    I am most certainly not worried. Anyway, thank you for the laugh and the boost to my already over inflated (and well deserved) sense of superiority.
