croweater

On my death bed, rather than feeling I have improved the lot of Thais, I would be more satisfied if before I go I could get posters flooding a dead horse on tv to get another interest.

Only invest in Thailand what you can afford to loose,everybody knows that,so, what's the beef?

Thanks for the input, my budget extends further tan 12k but it would be desirable for around this price....I see many places on real estate websites but as always pics are old, visited a few and looked nothing like the pics. Will keep looking....i dont wanna move to jomtien but it may be an option just for money and satifaction..

pm me,I think I can help

Try to avoid the Thai army and also try to avoid to get drafted in an European army....

I was called up for national service, did my time and was proud to do so.my opinion of draft dodgers would get me banned from tv.

Thing is croweater, if you have read the rules like I have, you'll see it isn't illegal.

draft dodging is illegal,except if you are the son of you know who.

You are obligated to take part in the draft lottery.

Don't come to Thailand until after you are 30.

what is wrong with aman serving for his country,don't encourage somebody tobe a draft dodger. That a an illegal post, in my opinion.

No sweat cobber,I'll give it abash,dunno ow mush two charg tho. Couple quid a hower be okeydorey mate?

I (who often used to drive while drunk)

Now there's a surprise.

A very good example of what's wrong with ThaiVisa.

A troll takes a comment 'out of context' in order to make a personal attack on another member, while making no attempt to contribute to the actual thread.

I'm quite surprised at the people who 'liked' the flame, but am not surprised by the member that posted the flame.

Drunks only cause 20percent of road fatalities, sober drivers cause 80 percent. So who do you ban?

We all bend over backwards to blend in here, l do for sure, but a line has to be drawn or weakness will be recognized by any human or animal. If anyone touched me l would retaliate and expect the consequence. Tell the guy to F........ off and have the correct look in your eye.

I certainly don't bend over to blend in here.

I know a guy who did the exact same thing as you suggest - the guy pulled out a machete and nearly killed him.

same here,a friend of mine got hospitalised over parking dispute at his condo.Dont get into dispute with Thais, or "Go home".

Why not just close this thread? it's like a broken record.

spot on mate,at least cal wow is over.

It's still there ,I'm moving to Indo,Yogyakarta,not a jet ski or calwow in sight.

Say it ain't so. I've been hoping someone would stick a fork in that thread for a long time.

Back in Oz there was a neighbour 4 doors up from me who let his dog out at night for a shit,always on my lawn, I scooped it up and put it in his letter box one night. That did the trick.

They couldn't fire off the worlds largest fire cracker last year,we all knew what would happen,and it did,or should I say,it didn't.

I kicked my toe on the kerb near police station pattaya, so, be careful around that area.

Actually that's a good idea. I have been looking for something different to do and used to be great at darts.

Poof Gone !!!!!!!!!

By darts,do you mean arrers?

From where one can buy dyson vacuum cleaner here in Pattaya?

Why a dyson, so over priced to comer massive advertising costs.i will sell you my near new Kirby,only 500000 baht.It even takes the dog for a walk.

Attend their sales pitch,you will get a day or two free accom in their timeshare,holiday ownership or whatever fancy name they use now, resort.

read this article a while back, pretty interesting. went to Bali for the first time in June, it was a good getaway from BKK. The people and food (suckling roast pig) were awesome; stayed in Seminyak and Ubud with a few days in Kuta so I could be close to the airport when flying out. Also did a hop to the Gili islands to kill a few days.

I was surprised that they had security everywhere inspecting cars and people for bombs at the hotels and malls. Felt safe with this and even walking late at night with my DSL.

Overall had a great time to see a very unqiue culture and a beautiful island, not sure as in moving there. Will surely visit again with the gf.

The few things I didn't like:

Horrible Horrible traffic

Roads and sidewalks not the greatest

Airport was old and run down; new open slated to open in 2013

Exit visa was $15; alot of people were not informed of this and had already changed their change

Alot of tourist every where, more than in Pattaya and Phuket

Not alot of street food vendors like Thailand

Bloody drunken Aussies everywhere,loved it,beats being swamped by ruskies as in pattaya.

Is it over now, the scams?

Since this thread is dead. Everything back to normal in Pattaya ?

flogging a dead horse,move on,or go back to where you came from.

nah thats up north. Australias a massive country. 20 japans fit in australia. We have farms bigger than Thailand and thats no joke. Half of australia has no crocs or jellyfish and unless you go out deep dont worry bout sharks. anyway sharks are in every ocean not just ours.

Tell that to the swimmers of WA this year....oh and I have been chased by sharks 3 times close to shore.

Also, can you point in the direction of a farm in Oz that is circa 120 million acres in size ?

the cattle station I lived on, when dad went to the front gate to get the mail,it was a 3 day trip,by ute.

I'm moving to yogyakarta ,java. No beach,but cheap to live and the "hub" of handicrafts.8 years in Thailand, time to move on.

Very great little city... Indonesia top universities, arty vibes and open minded locales compared to the majority of other Javanese folks.

Being stuck there for nearly a month during '98 unrest, I had plenty of time to discover it!

After Bandung, Yogya is my favorite place on Java.

.....and the women?

Muslim, not so "forward" and I believe not so mercenary.ie. better chance of finding one here so you can say with more certainty "mines different"
