Taco

Keep the brewing ball rolling who ever it might be! I have a handful of baht ready to buy good beer.

Without the increased distribution of beer lao (which I can happily say is even available at the local 7-11's in Koh Phangan I would be forced to drink more of the watered down with fruit juice, overpriced, crap boxed wines as the local beers are poor at best. Not to mention how overpriced beer is Thailand. Even at Changs price level 685 a box=$19.25. If it cost them a dollar to make that swine I would be shocked.

Reminds me of a friend who was an English teacher in bkk about 10 years ago. One of his private clients was a water filtration salesmen. He told my friend that Singha and Chang don't use and wouldn't buy a proper water filtration system for their beer water. So you got rice, dirty water and bad headache the next day.

when do the tickets go on sale and how do you get a few?

do you think she would sing like a virgin in bkk? Wouldn't she get a bunch of blank stares here?

I know all the larger banks here offer simple accident health insurance to farang with work permits. Can anyone here who has shopped around let me know who is best?

I am in koh phangan and the hospitals and clinics here way overcharge here for even the slightest issues.

"Most Thais have experienced intense constitutional debate throughout their adult lives, especially those born after the 1990s.They are now the most democratically alert people in the region, if not the world."

are you kidding me? Occasionally Thais are up for a good time sit in style protest with lots of whistles and food. But, saying that a majority of Thais have experienced intense debate over the Constitution of Thailand is ludicrous. My GF was born after 1990 and she often refers to the PM as the guy who's show ruins her soap operas. "why always have to talk talk talk when I want to watch my shows" LMAO!!!

Then on to the most democratically alert people in the world comment. I have seen plenty of protesting here in the last years to get someone out of office but when has there been a protest to speed up democracy or move up an election or democratic process?

yes I have one male Thai friend and of course he owes me 40,000bt. For some strange reason he hasnt been coming around any more after the 2 year interest free loan that is now 3 months past due.

One is enough.

Just when I thought my internet was slow. Cant wait to try to stream videos when all the internet is run through some crap Chinese mainframe that probably runs on diesel.

Charles Schwab no question. Free ATM use anywhere in the world. Great customer service over the phone that you can even all collect. Prepaid envelopes for deposits.

I hope he had enough time to finish the engagement visa process to enter America. He should be fine if he started about 9 months ago.

There is much more to this story. Multiple page write up in the New York Times back in July about this ships international gallivanting

This boat has slipped away from more then just the Thai police

at least they didn't rape his sister and decapitate him

I wish they were

What can i do about my swimming pool over flowing

white people problems...oh the pain!

Whats up with that beer chang promotional "plug" in that photo?

This shooting was sponsored by the all new chang classic....applause

If it was a man's foot I would say that is definitely the bite of a jealous Thai girl. Does the woman have short hair?

I just lost 2 minutes of my life. That was the most boring video I have ever seen.

Get the inflatable into Koo Greece ($1500) trek overland through Balkans, avoid the new fence into Hungary and then head west. Lots of good Syrian and African food on the way and before you know it your Swedish and golden!

What a ridiculous title for an article. Anyone who like to go who..ing and has been around knows damn well Malaysia is a crappy place to get laid. Combine muslim conservatism with expensive beer and that will never change.

Its sad so many farangs don't just stick to the true and tried game plan. Fish, date, bang and trade her in like a car before the service costs get way too expensive.....

Easy. There will be plenty of rooms available everywhere you are going. Dont book anything before. If the rain starts dumping, move on. For the big moves Airasia.com

82 people shot and 14 killed over the 4th of July weekend last year, so this year was way safer! Must have been all the smoke giving the city a peaceful contact buzz from the 70,000 hippies in town for the final 3 Grateful Dead shows.

The kids dad was a gang leader, had been arrested 45 times and had his 7 year old out in the park at midnight knowing he was a target. The poor kid didn't get to pick his parents but dad was the problem.

Sweet home Chicago!

Took the Raja Ferry from Don Sak to Phangan today no beer on the boat or at the mini mart and restaurant at the pier. 15 years of living on the island and some of my fondest memories are the cold one you crack just before arrival in Phangan. I have never seen fights or rowdy behaviour on the ferry just travelers having a few beers celebrating the last leg of a long trip out to the islands.

You have a 15 year old thai kid being murdered on samui yesterday by local gangs, Burmese being suffocated and left on the roadside, local businessmen shot in front of tourists buying trinkets yet the police and this overreaching pseudo government think banning beer on a long boat ride where most passengers are picked up by taxis is an issue that needs to be urgently addressed? People come to Thailand to have fun not to visit museums. Get the ballot boxes out ASAP.

lets see the video! I am sure it include the Thai bouncer inciting the accused.

We have an island wide beach clean in Koh Phangan on the 28th... this could be his type to side trip!!! Come on down!

Ridiculous kratom is illegal. Chewed a massive stack of that stuff trying to get a buzz during a golf round. Tastes like chalk, gets you about as high as a half a cup of coffee and doesnt help your golf game. Still shot a 99.

I think If I chewed a whole pack of cigarettes I would surely get higher.

Marisol red is decent in the box and even better in the bottle at 290bt a bottle at Makro. Blend C is cab and M is merlot.

For some reason every time I drink half a box of Marisol red I start calling my girlfriend a prostitute so there are some side effects.
