When are this happening in Khonkaen?

Seems to be over already!

Doubt it as I've been changing a lot of 500euro notes lately and don't get a second glance. I'm based in Pattaya so that's where I speak of

I would recommend Qcon and if you think you really need it then interior red bricks with insulation between them.

This Thailand do you want to live in an oven,insulation

I served my time and worked a number of years as a brickie and also worked as a site foreman for several years and in my opinion that brickwork looks quite acceptable to me.

I think better not....the cops might tell you that he is actually her husband

Any one here with property in a company name is a director without a work permit,,,,surely.

''with the first phase consisting of a highway to Thailand being constructed by ITD.'' The road to nowhere I think.

I wonder would a 500 bht entry fee cover these medical expences or did he have travel insurance.

I usually go to the departures floor and go outside to the sidewalk where there are always plenty of taxis after dropping off customers and are delighted to take you to Pattaya for 1000 thb.including tolls. If I was travelling with the bird and a lot of baggage ,aside from her, I think I'd try the first guy recommended a try and have peace of mind that there was someone there waiting for me.

in Bangkok I bought a "condo" for my son. 600,000 baht, 10 minutes On Nut BTS. Building is full all the time. Renters pay around 3000 month.

Its not what farangs would class as a condo more like a hotel room.

If it is doable in Bangkok it must be doable in Pattaya

3000/month on a 600,000baht condo would take 17 years to get your investment back and that's not factoring in annual maintainance fees and other costs. Do you seriously consider that a good place to put your money?

What talks are they readying for? Thailand lost and Cambodia won, end if story!

"Also discussed the possibility for Thai passportholders to be extemped from Schengen visas"

Poor Madame Ashton! How do you put it politely and diplomately correct to Ms Yingluck, that the Schengen countries have no interest in being flooded with Thai hookers??

But they would like to be flooded with rich Thai tourists, of which there are many. Plenty of hookers working in Europe already, so I don't see it as an issue. The positives for Schengen countries would far outweigh the negatives.

Ohhhh, brilliant? And at the moment, there are no rich Thai tourists visiting Europe?

So lets start. What exactly would be the positives of having no visas for tourist entry for Thai's into Europe?

Or were you being sarcastic?

I think it should be pretty obvious that more people will travel to a country if they don't need a visa. I've put off traveling to a few places because I can't be bothered with the hassle.Europe needs tourists, and they'd get millions more if they got rid of the need for visas for many countries. A few will overstay. So what? That happens in almost all countries will almost all nationalities.

Sorry but you're just another idiot that dosn't know what he is talking about!

If they can't keep low speed trains on the tracks what hope have the high speed ones?

I thought that's what we were all doing here?

Wow she's actually still in Thailand, arn't there lots more places she could be jet setting off too.

Well 500,000 baht is about 13,000 euro......I'm just wondering how big these districts are?

It must be pick on Russia week!!!

''according to Thai tourist police statistics.'' which means it's a load of bull just like all other Thai statistics and forecasts!

Maybe the minibus drivers are at it too and thats why there are so many accidents because they're falling asleep at the wheel too??

DISGRACEFUL!!!

Did you not consider that it was the motorbike taxi that was scamming you and not the Jolly fryer???

''1-million THB (over US.$300.000'' One zero too many I think, try 30,000USD
