I can never understand why people come to live in Thailand where terrific food is all around abundant and cheap and then go regulararly to the hilton to eat overpriced tourist food crazy ,but each to his own.

The trouble is that so many people have their lpg fitted by some back street mechanic on the cheap ,get it done by a proper company.

Increased Investments? Who? Most people I know in Thailand have been reduced to rolling their own cigerettes rather than buy packaged cigerettes. I know country people without 20 baht in their pockets. This lady in nuts or smoking her own brand of tobacco..

Ah, I'd have been SO disappointed if any member of the Gloom And Doom brigade failed to show.

Always funny.

so ,whats your take on things ? anything to add from your fount of knowledge

When asked how did she know she had been raped ,she replied"the cheque bounced"

In 7 years we have been broken into once as were most on our estate by our burgular ,we have an alarm system ,unfortunatly our burgular was deaf and dumb ,if you would like to visit him he is in Pattaya prison ,i'me not joking.

Parsnips 560 per kilo at villa! Crazy

That price is indeed extremely silly.

i know ,but oh that taste just once a year when they come out of the oven freshly roasted ,even my wifes sister and kids love them

why you need parsnips dude, thailand has array of different vegs that are way better that parsnips,

except if you use them for a hemmeroid relief, than I understand

No they havnt ,if i thought they did i would buy them ,and how do you use parsnips to cure hemroids ,i wont repeat the way i thought you did last time as some meanie took my suggestion down.

Wait rose in the basement of CentralFestival sell frozen parsnips, lovely roasted, and Makro stock frozen Brussels sprouts.

We looked but couldnt find them this year.

there are only 3 in pattaya

Villa has both sprouts and parsnipr(take a fully loaded credit card) i love parsnips and we spent almost as much on them as on the bloody turkey.

oh the slings and arrows suffered by those in a land whose language they cannot understand and whose women they cannot trust.

it must be terrible for you

Not for me cos l don't care.

nor me.

A middle aged woman in a shop used the phrase when my wife was looking at some shirts yesterday and i said "its not for papa" to her later i was talking to my wife about the phrase and she reckons it is more than likely a respectfull thing as Thai people do not want to use your first name and they cant use khun to you , that was the only thing she could think of.

Do you believe everything she tells you?

Actually yes i do ,we have been married 20 years and have a son in uni ,we have lived here and in the UK where we were married and where she was a stepmother to my daughter ,i have never ever had any doubts about her and trust her immplicitly ,she has had access to my bank accounts most of that time and has never touched a penny without first consulting me she has looked after me in sickness and in health ,does that answer your question?

ps the woman in question has seen us many times over the years and knows we live here and are married and has always been polite.

Yes, it does answer my question, thanks but a simple yes would suffice.

I've been married for a similar time and would answer 'no' to the same question, although in serious matters I would definitely trust my wife.

My wife has lied to me for different reasons, but they really are only little white lies, maybe to avoid confrontation/embarrassment etc or maybe as she knows me so well she knows that I would't understand something or it would make me angry or depressed etc.

Let's look at the facts - Thai people use my first name all the time and I've never heard anyone say that Thais don't like using foreigners' first names.

Thais can use khun to you. Why would you/she think they couldn't. It is like saying 'mister'.

In your situation I don't think it was rude, but ignorant, unless you look Chinese.

Actually any Thai that knows me and my familly do call me by my first name ,but women working in shops dont know what it is ,i spoke again about this to the wife again today and she says all she can think is that its become so common around Pattaya s bars that now everyone is starting to use it but again she does not think its meant as an insult ,but to be honest she just didnt think it was that big a deal ,women just dont know what to call customers so they use papa ,,and judging by what thehappyfarang just said i am tending to agree with him.

ON their way to the UK i suppose where they would have been given a free house social security and a job cash in hand.

No legs only one arm he can use and now run over and in a coma ,some people just are not very lucky ,and i grumble about my bad foot at the moment.

The blood pressure drugs are cheap ,dont know about the others but doubt very much if you will spend 100 pounds a month ,keep an address and a doctor in the uk then get six months at a time ,just phone them get someone to mail them to you ,not that i would know anything about that sort of thing myself though

Has a full health and safety check been done on this structure and will it be mandatory that all staff have been trained in ladder climbing and also be wearing hi vis jackets and hard hats as well as being attached to said tower by suitable safety harnesses ?

oh sorry, my mistake i thought i was reading about somewhere in Britain.

The one in Tesco is the best to use (queuse only at the beginning of the month) personally i would never use the one outside home pro as it is not overseen and there are to many scams going on here at the moment . about a year ago the one in Tesco did not pay out and while the stafff both there and at the HO PHONE number i was given were polite they would do nothing ,it was left to my bank in the UK to resolve it ,they put the money back into my account within two days but warned me that it could take up to 10 months to resolve with aeon and if unresolved they would take the cash back . they never did .

IF someone is capable of killing a living animal, it is only the matter of time for them to kill a human being, because clearly murder is not a problem for them

most dangerous are those who murder... mosquitos or cockroaches. then think of all the butchers who murder all kinds of animals or the old lady murderers in rural Thailand who murder a chicken for a tasty curry.

are you for real man?

I think lemoncake needs to be renamed fruitcake after a remark like that. never read anything so stupid before.

I love the bit where it says"It appeared khun Pairat was not able to reach a toilet to to relieve himself" pure gold ,i couldnt stop laughing.

Everything in the UK is expensive ,its the reason we live in Thailand.

IF a dog bit me it would get the same treatment ,dogs here are a menace ,you cant walk out at night where we live as they are liable to bite you ,pity the local councill dont round them up and put them to sleep .as for the protestors ,get back to hugging trees.

Pattaya2u and Wattana opposite foodland ,both excellent service ,one good thing with wattana is that you can park outside the doors ,but have had really good service from both .
