I'd stick with the Chemicals - you don't want these buggers in your foundations. No point in being Green if your home is going to fall down for the price of being a tree hugger.

I have a number of cats and dogs, I am pretty tolerant, but recently we have had a particular Ginger Shit Cat giving massive problems, it has been ripping chunks out of the normally friendly cats, trying to eat one of the cats babies, and generally being a bastard.

Anyway, tuesday I shot it! today I found it's little stiff corpse so I chucked it it into the garbage. Why disrupt a happy family because of one shit!

Best not tell the wife as she thinks killing cats is the same as killing monks.......bring them on!

It isn't that many years ago that the Thai government and ministers were using "@hotmail.com" for government e mails!

http://www.thailandq...p-using-hotmail - Is this not illegal if you look at Hotmails agreement?

Quote: "Police have also been warned against aiming highpowered water guns at people's eyes or ears to avoid injury" What, so they are joining in this year too?

Your wife will have needed to have entered Thailand on her Thai passport and there will need to have been a full 12 months between entries into Thailand for her to qualify for the duty free import.

Otherwise, they are trying it on.

No they do not need a full 12 months out of the country - they can have entry stamps as if coming back to visit relatives or whatever, they need to make sure that they are out of the country for more than 6 months in 1 year. A bit like the UK Tax thing. If the OP is using a decent shipping company HA HA like DHL....Ha Ha they should sort it out for him.

We used a decent company that ships world wide and had no problem, they did everything for us, no tax paid!

"I have to baby sit my 2 boys while the missus has her ‘me-time’ ‘shopping for-shit’ to fill our house with overpriced pointless crap from 'western- style' retail outlets here in Phuket."

Sad statement .... since when was being a parent called baby sitting?

Have you recently had a "humour bypass" at your local hospital?

Earth hour,bah,humbug ,let the lycra wearing beardy left wing tree huggers switch off their lights(the lights are on but nobodys home there anyway) and the feel gooders can drive their priouses ,meanwhile i switch on an extra light ,turn the air con up a bit while using the internet and watching tv at the same time (with the radio on in the background for good measure).

i vote to build more nuclear power stations and forget the windmills as they and all the other "green measures are a waste of time )

like another plastic bag vicar?

I don't know what a priouses is but I do drive a Toyota Prius. 4.6 litres per 100 kms, that's why Oh, I also have another car but that's less economical at 11.2 litres per 100 km.

The battery on these things cause more polution being made than any car on the planet ,total and utter waste of 1.3 million,for a small saloon . a normal car would have set you back half a million less ,makes 4.6 literes to 100 kms look expensive when you look at it that way ,and the batteries dont last that long and cost an arm and a leg to replace.

but if it makes you feel good , enjoy.

I don't care about pollution or being green, just plain economics coupled with practicality.

At (currently) 43 baht per litre (Benzine 91), I would be spending Bht 206,400 pa based on 40,000 km pa and at 12 l/100km. In the Prius, I would be spending Bht 79,120, a saving of Bht 127,280. In five years, I would have recouped on the premium that I paid.

During those five years, I would at least have the practically of a hatchback (not sedan), really useful as I don't own a pick up.

Regarding batteries, I have yet to come across a Prius owner who's had to pay to replace the battery (don't take it from me, this is information gathered from a dedicated Prius forum, not sponsored by Toyota).

I would be ashamed to be seen in a Prius - it is like announcing you have a small penis! 3 litres is a minimum to prove your manhood!

If your wife is Thai, and she has a Thai passport, and she has been out of the country for more than 12 months then you should not have to pay tax.

We were in the same boat when we moved here from China - your freight company will need your wifes passport and stamps etc. to prove she is A) Thai and non resident for at least 12 months - then you don't need to pay tax!

Good luck.

Sorry but Leo is like 2% alcohol and 98% cat urine!

Stick with good old poison Chang! 6.8%..............merry merry, you can't get pissed on Leo you will chuck your guts first

If you think you can drink 3:1 Leo's regarding getting drunk, you are way off.

I have no comment re the cat pee though.

I don't understand why anyone would want to drink it, it is 1/3rd of the strength of Chang, it costs considerably more and it tastes disgusting - a bit like the Heineken here - cat piss!

The locals around my place get out of their merry little skulls on 20 Bahts worth of Lao Kao - why would they ever consider spending almost 50 Baht on that rubbish! - Two bottles is almost a days wages, and they could still manage to drive home.

Were you mumbling an ex girlfriends name whilst rubbing your pecker? As far as I know Seer Jai is "Broken Heart"

Be careful you don't end up with a "Koy lao"

Anyone here tried that vile tiple "Archer"? What a foul brew - probably made from mangoes and socks!

In Thailand, where I live I have some videos, from years ago recorded on an old Sony Camcorder. (Recorded in England - before I lived here in Thailand)

I spent a bit of time converting them into MP4 format (In Thailand Where I live) and decided to upload them onto Youtube (From Thailand Where I live) and post the links to my kids (They were in the videos years ago- in England - Before I came to live in Thailand - where I live and post from.)

Can you believe it? I get an e mail back from Youtube (To my home in Thailand - where I live - not to England as I moved to Thailand a long time ago and this is where I live, having strong links to Thailand not England.) telling me "Your video "XXXXX may have content that is owned or licensed by IODA, but it’s still available on YouTube! In some cases, ads may appear next to it.

Who the hell is the IODA, and why would these shits seem to think they have a claim on a personal video! Jesus, it is time to reclaim freedom of speech and freedom of rights from these money grabbing bastards! Unbelievable.In Thailand where I live!

And no, I have no audio that would be copyrighted, unless you class "Who let the Dogs Out" playing in the background as an infringment - and if this is the case these people should be ever so slowly roasted alive on a spit!

She can try your own backdoor instead.

It is not for the want of asking! Part of the problem stems from Thailands archaic laws - it is apparently illegal to have a psuedo / plastic penis!!! obviously this law seems to stem from the insecurity of Thai men who generally seem to be a bit short in the Trouser Region.

We have tried importing a plastic strap on on numerous occaisions, but it appears to get seized and sat on by the Thai Customs! What they do with it I have no idea.

Tolerance people please!

I suffer from that Attention Deficit (ADD)thing, so it isn't exactly easy for me here. - "where did I put my dinner, where are the car keys, have you seen my wallet?" and also have to keep washing my hands - I think it is like a compulsive disorder syndrome or something.

It costs me a fortune in Sunlight every week.

The good thing is though, my wife has a twin sister who suffers from memory loss, she is like the exact opposite of "Total Recall" Good job too! As it would probably put my marriage in jeapordy if she recalled what happened last night!

I met and married my Thai wife about ten years ago, however, we seem to be having a few problems.

Before the marriage I paid my obligatory 5 million Baht Sin Sod to her mother. Everything seemed to be going well until they cashed the cheque.

Later my wife began to complain about pains and cramps (in womens places) which prevented us from having a normal relationship.

I have tried to be accomodating, even offerring to use the back door but to no avail.

She has recently been to see a specialist who has diagnosed her with an enlarged prostate.

I find that if we stick to the medication prescribed, and if I pay her a few thousand Baht, relations can resume for a short while. Can anyone advise me on my next step? (We have tried Tiger Balm and Ya Homme)

Thanks.

You are obviously holding the bum gun too near your bum. If the pressure is that strong, can I suggest you stand on the other side of the bathroom and ask your wife/husband/gik/BF/GF/maid/driver to spray your bum from a suitable distance

Simon

No, I have only myself to blame - I removed the small rubber washer that tends to restrict the flow. (The pump delivers 43 litres a minute - so it is rather taxing on the sphincter)

Now we get exceptionally clean anuses, but now and again we do have to put up with anal intrusion! The price you pay for a non toilet paper smeared ass I guess. (It doesn't matter how much toilet paper you use, their will forever be a smidgen of shit on the last piece)

I must say, I take my hat off to Thailand for this anal invention (the hub of ass cleaning) When we visited the UK last summer, it really was horriffic having to use bits of gritty paper to rub your ass shit up and down your ass crack, and you really walk away from the bog feeling like you have left something clinging.....the ass gun should be Thailands entry for the best technological breakthrough of the century.

Hail Thailand The Hub Of Ass Cleaners!

People tend to look too much at the negative side of Thailand, the Jet Ski scams for example. If only we British Colonialists had taught them that spraying an arse was a good thing! Don't rip off tourists, hose their asses!

Ever think of toilet paper?!

Actually, that is the most disgusting use for a felled processed tree - to smear shit on it! It doesn't even clean your arse, it just sort of moves the shit from A to B!

I think there is a point where the pressure makes the anus receptive, and you just suck the water up.

Normally, it tries to force things out, but if you just get things in a sort of balance, then the anus seems to crave to be filled.

You can gauge the rate of inflation here quite simply - and no, it is not a joke.

All of you long term ex pats - just take a look at one single food item - A can of Tuna in oil!

When I first came here in 2004, a can of Tuna was 8 Baht, the same can of Tuna today is 34 Baht, more than 300% increase in 8 years!

You don't need to be a mathematician to work that one out, more than 30% inflation per year.

None of the water "Bum Guns" in my toilets have the original "reducing washers" that restrict the flow - hence a good pressure wash.

This however leaves me in a bit of a catch 22 situation.

After taking a dump, and to ensure cleanliness, a good squirt is in order - however, due to the water pressure, water seems to enter the anus, which then has to be expelled again, hence requiring another blast of the bum gun, thus the situation continues ad infinitum.

So most airports in any normal country dealing with international travel require a 2 hour window for check in.

(Now remeber a few years back - The Birdie Coffe Commercials as it was about to open! - Suvarnhabumi - "Pride Of Thailand") Here is an international airport - maybe even a "HUB" so to speak, that because of an increase in 10% of travellers, now wants to increase check in times by 100%................give me a break, these people couldn't figure out how to have a piss up in a brewery!

It's a reasonable request - government reports, police reports, NGO type research etc.

Everytime a westerner is caught fiddling with kids in Thailand, the usual malcontents mumble about the fact that kiddie brothels for local men seem to be on every street corner. In my view it's yet another of those urban myths spewed up by Thaivisa.

It's almost as if they are suggesting that the Thai police are focusing only on western paedos, and letting the Thai offenders get away with it.

So, I repeat, what is this assertion based on?

Oh, so you are so naieve to think that the Thai Government would actually put a report out about this? What in "Amazing Thailand"! Jesus - Wake up! (They cannot even clean up the Jet ski scams, ripping off tourists, terrorism - do you seriously think they give a shit about kids getting fiddled with?

Police Reports - again - wake up! The police are probably taking a cut!

NGO's - since when have any of these organisations actually helped anyone in the real sense - they are a bunch of spongers, sort of like missionaries allowed to stay here on a long term visa providing they don't rock the boat or get caught kiddy fiddling! - It always amazes me why any government would welcome these NONCES! - Think about it, Thailand is a Bhuddist country ( allegedly) why on earth would they issue visa to people to come here and preach Christianity.......maybe money has something to do with it!

It shows your intelligence and idea of the real world just by the avatar you pick, a true open minded visionary!

Like I say, WAKE UP, and I expect someone like yourself would be the first one up in arms if someone came on here and dared to use an Avatar of Hitler!

Mickey, the only problem I see that you might have is getting past the check in in Thailand.

As you rightly said, if they make an arse and your partner is refused entry - (Nothing to do with a return ticket) then they will be held responsible.

As far as UK immigration are concerned, your partner has a valid entry visa, unless she is up to no good, then end of story.

You need to be able to convince the Thai carriers that she is going to return, you should get no problems UK side.

The airlines are extremely squeamish about this rubbish, just in case they have to pay (I think 2000 USD fine) + a free flight back.

I had problems with squeamish staff in the UK when flying with my wife (who is Thai) back to my job in China, despite her passport and visa being in order, they refused to issue a boarding pass from Bangkok to Shanghai, just because her passport was in her maiden name and her Chinese visa was in her married name - when we got to Bangkok, the Thai Airways staff just laughed, sent someone down to collect our luggage and forward it onto the connecting flight!

Seemed a bit strange really, as my 9 month old son was travelling on a 1 year multiple business visa for China - they didn't question that!

Good luck!
