good, theres a reason the market and stalls will go out of business. Even thais do not want to use them.

I hate all of t hem, they dont even grow it themselves they just buy it from supercheap and markup the prices. The one next to me sells 4 potatoes to thais for 80b.. tesco from 10-25baht

"I was wondering if there was a way in Thailand to sell your car under a loan and keep paying per month yourself after it's been transferred to a new owner?"

The bluek book will be in the name of the finance company under the loan. So it is not in your name, and you can sell it to anybody you like, you will still be responsible for the payments. However, the new owner will not be in the blue book till the loan is paid of, so as a new owner I would not accept this construction.

Yeah i figured that. Would have to look around mental hospitals to sell it that way then

I did it back home 9 years ago, must be possible here?

I had a great job for a few years but a downside was that I had to clean up after the noble hockey players had left, every second Sunday night. I would rather have cleaned the toilets than cleaned up after these thoughtless, really manly guys had spat out their malignant crap all around the ice rink (where they nicely froze to the ground despite a smoking ban). These are the same guys that could without a qualm come and sit down next to you while you were eating and light up without asking.

I think those days are disappearing but guys, you shouldn't be surprised that the pendulum has swung the other way.

I am addicted to sex but don't throw used condoms around, I like a beer but don't throw my empty cans to the ground.

The equivalent for a smoker to understand would actually be: "i like drinking beer but after having one too many i dont start pissing on your face(cancer smoke in face) or puking on your shoes(cig butts)

Well sex or no sex. Cash or no cash.. The wife, missus or gf is also demanding money. Same thing as the hookers. Just that one demand it upfront, the other other demand it long term, milking u slowly for life

When dating the missus. U need both time & energy & resources to date. before hopefully getting ur schlong into her

When with the hookers. U cut the chase and go down to action. cutting the dating crap off. More like a no nonsense straight to the point style.

Well to each to his own. I am not encouraging in anyway. Just the way i see things.

Either way, both method needs money. if u dun have money, be prepared to die a lonely death ALONE.

There is no honour in love nowadays..

Most of the poor guys i know in thailand have women with better jobs and better looks than those with money.

The difference is that guys with money who end up in thailand are usually only here because nobody wants of them anywhere else. The poor ones are here because they wanted to come to thailand and it wasnt for a relationship

Dont blame your failures on money, blame it on your bad personality or looks

Isnt EVE pretty safe? i have never heard of anyone having trouble with them.

Not really clear if he had a helmet on or not but since he died from his head hitting the road I'd hazard a guess and say he wasn't wearing a helmet and if he was he would probably be here today such a waste of live when will they learn

Rip

he's a very safe and considerate driver so why would he need a helmet?

If you think Phuket zoo is a disgrace try visiting the free zoo on the way to Phang Nga, this will make you sick!!

Where and whats the name of it?

geez. on kibbutz we just take the 'yes shlomo' approach: shlomo (somchai, joe, whoever) complains about our dogs, the neighbhors dogs the garbage, the bycycles, the amount of water being used, whatever, we just say, ok, yes shlomo, no problem, btw, how are u feeling today, how's the wife/son/arthritis.... end of complaint til next run in on the sidewalks of the kibbutz...

for a few annoying people u are leaving the country?!!

bina

I am leaving the irritating country. It's not the odd one or two. They are all halfwits. Going back to a decent land again where the word integrity means something.

I can understand your frustration without actually experiencing your situation. There are quite a few irritations to put up with in Thailand, but overall I prefer to live here than my home country. I find only one serious flaw with the Thai character and that's the inability to take responsibility for their actions. They are always so quick to blame others, especially a falang.

add to that all the farangs like f1fanatic who are the same as thais

With thais you can understand as they've had a third world upbringing but then you have all these annoying farangs with no excuses

Lt Col Boonlert of Chalong Police, the investigating officer in the case, told the Gazette, “We questioned the pickup driver, but the man was adamant that he did not hit the motorbike and we saw no signs of damage to his truck – no dents, no scratches – that would indicate it had been involved in an accident.

What a bullshit cop-out. Of course you can cause an accident - and death - without having anything hit your own vehicle.

Does it look like the guy in the picture ever drove carefully and inside the motorbike's lane?

What a ridiculous comment.

What a ridiculous reply and lack of knowledge of phuket's road.

I'm always suprised by those who complain about the dog poo here as its something I rarely see - even though there are dogs everywhere!

Presumably its 'cos the heat and sun break it down incredibly quickly?

Incidentally, thanks Babyjesus for dumping your trash indiscriminately - its one of the things we all love about living here, the rubbish dumped anywhere .

Edit - as for the way you hate anyone that has compassion for starving soi dogs... you may be totally self-centred, but others hate to see suffering. You are v lucky to be so lacking in empathy.

You do know that every area of thailand with soi dogs has people coming to feed them MINIMUM 3 times a day?

Add to that residents and trash, those dog are OVER FED, the food is horrible so they just shit it all back right away and stay skinny.

i know the owners of TVR. They are reckless themselves. TVR drivers would speed to 70km/h in small moobaan sois and swerve around corners where kids are playing

I have thrown poop on the walls of a house that were feeding dogs

It worked

Nowadays i dump my garbage bag in the middle of the village and let the soi dogs eat them. filling the park with poopy diapers and other nasty stuff. I will do this untill they get rid of the soi dogs/constant drivers coming to feed them.

As a parent i can tell that you that kids under 3 are the same everywhere

but then after that its very easy to see the difference with thai kids

Western kids are taught to say thank you and to mean it, they are taught to be helpful(holding doors, picking up dropped things) without rewards while thais will only do it if there is a reward or if they are interested in something. It's very apparent if you go to an international school. The Pure thais will either be super spoiled assmonks or decent western type kids. The half thai-half farang are going to be good if the father is the one dropping them to school and taking care of them at the house at night, if its the mother its going to be bad 70% of the time and good 30%. I found that bargirl mothers try harder to raise their children to be better than them.

and the western kids for the most part are great(helps that its mostly upper middle class kids)

This ninja-fighting show crap really doesnt help. I have no idea how japanese raise such good kids while they only watch those shows but all other poor nations that let their kid watch those shows all have violent kids. Maybe it has to do with IQ because the kids i know who watch those shows a lot and are not violent at all are mostly extremely clever 2-4years old.

Are you saying that all the people in moobaans building kitchens up to the limit wall are actually illegal addons and there's a number i can call to have them removed?

Thai doctors in phuket do not listen to anything said in english

Bangkok hospital, i had the chance of seeing a specialist last year. I have seen 6th grade students with better insight on how to use wikipedia. He was paid to tell me the exact question i asked him. Never answered. Just did some xray and told me exactly what i knew, wouldn't tell me the details i wanted. But he was sure keen on trying to sell me some PT when my condition does NOT require pt.

Mission is even worse

Vachira has the only people who actually care but the wait times are insane

that is why i asked for the name of some test in thais that might be able to find out which exotic virus i have caught. I am not thai bashing, i am telling you that most thai doctors are very bad at anything requiring brain usage which leaves them being only good at surgery. I come from a medical family so i am not just making this up.

Thais always wear a helmet where police are checking. Of course its not tied and as soon as they are out of sight they juggle with a cellphone, a piece of chicken, a cigarette and taking off their helmet at the same time. maybe 15% of the time you can add to that holding a 6months old by the neck with 1 finger

Phuket Island

Hey everyone, i have been sort of sick for a little while now and after all my symptom went away i didnt get back to the gym and a week later i get sick again and im getting kind of worried. Im very young so this is definitely not normal. My only "sickness" is that i have a very sensible stomach but am very used to it.

Recently i have been getting orange diarrhea in the morning followed by semi normal orangish/brown stools in the afternoon. Small discomfort in the abdominal area but most of the time i can't feel it. Before this i fought this virus that makes all your joints inflamed. went away when i loaded some ibuprofen like a drug addict for a week but yesterday with the stool it started to come back but only about 15cm higher than the sternum where the ribs are connectin so taking a deep breath is uncomfortable(also had a bit of pain on my right ribs yesterday but it went away) . What worries me the most is that i am so tired. Not tired falling asleep just tired apathetic. I cant even bring myself to do go on my hands and get a couple pushups in the get the blood pumping although my mind is wide awake and totally bored but uninterested in anything.

I want to go to an hospital and get specific test but i have no idea what to ask, i dont want to just walk in and describe symptoms because from experience the thai doctors i have met are clueless unless they are told exactly what to do. Been here almost 6 years and have never found a usefull doctor in fact i sent my 3 weeks old a few days ago because she was very sick. Anywhere in the west her symptom would warrant many test but here they decided on the flu after 5mins(which it wasn't but i wasn't there to tell them to wake the F up and do their job better than a 3rd grader from the west)

ya sorry i cant give you more, i just have a swedish friend with a swedish kid and after a lot of research he found that the phuket and pattaya schools were great and affordable. Else he'd have gone to an other country.

In pattaya and phuket they are scandi internationally accredited schools which are not that expensive compared to british international schools. Your children would have scandi classes for the most part but also a few english/thai classes on top. Scandis seems to swear by those schools and we all know scandis average are far from being stupid, so it should be good schools.

It's mostly swedish if that matters

Same thing happened in the West.. We've only been wising up for the last ~10years and even then a large percent of the population is still going against the environmentalist movement.

Im all for thai bashing, im first in line actually, but this is a thing of humans and not just of the thai specie
