Yes ,This Morning Thailand is a good program,it's a bit to political for me ,i have seen the lady on the right in, "The Mall Bangkapi,

The next liberal that tells me "Oh Islam is Peace"  ..............

  and "They are just misunderstood" 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I feel the same, how come its always involving Islam problems arise? Hindus vs Muslims with India vs Pakistan, Christian vs Muslims loads of places, Muslims vs Budhists Thailand, Muslims vs Catholics, Muslims vs Jews....its always Muslims vs someone else.....but never their fault, we are encroaching on them apparently but they wish to make the whole world bend to Islam.

Maybe mass generalisation on my part, but they really do pi$$ me off.

That is very very truthful,could not agree more,always such hateful behavior/talk aimed towards other religions',it's the "them and us mentality"it gets' my goat to.

My sister-in-law was coming out of the side entrance of Carrefour when it went off.

Massive explosion, and she saw a number of people lying around and lots of blood.

Another friend of ours lives just a minutes walk from the Greenworld Hotel and she said  the explosion shook her whole house.  Three people were slightly injured here and the hotel entrance arch has apparently collapsed.  This is pretty scarey shit as it's just a 5 minute drive from my place.

I think you'd probably be better off using your ATM debit card (no commissions, etc). American Express or VISA Travelers Checks may also be another option (easy to cash and easily replaced if lost or stolen).

Most banks and businesses in USA are not familar with "money exchange", when compared to Europe and the Far East. Could take days to change currency and the fees will be astronomical.

Have a great trip.

[/quote At]Bangkok bank you can now have a B first "VISA" debit card ,which can be used internationaly,unlike them crapy electron cards'

Recently after having had a wonderful evening with our ladies a good friend of mine woke in the morning to find that "his lady" had considered that the 1500 baht donation he made was indeed to small for her liking and helped herself to 12,000 baht more from his wallet which was hiding behind the TV unit, a unit some 6 feet long.

She had observed my friend the night before placing his wallet in the most secure place in his room or so he thought. The unit needed to be lifted away from the wall to recover the wallet and then returned no mean task for a lady of 45 kgs.

When the theft was discovered the first course of action was to decide was it worth reporting the incident to the police or chalk it up to "Well Thailand wins again".

With that British stiff upper lip approach my friend and I marched into the local tourist police office to make our complaint. we were greated with a smile by a middle aged policeman who spoke very good english we were offered a seat and within 30 seconds a cold glass of water.

With our tale explained and a nod of disgust at what had happened he asked that we write in english a report detailing the incident. This duly completed it was passed to a Thai lady who without falter translated the report in to Thai.

The report was logged and a copy stamped was given to us to take to the main Police Station where the crime would be investigated. On our arrivial at the main Police Station in Soi 8 the front office resembled rush hour at the tube station in Oxford Street. We approached what we thought was the main desk only to be told to report over there.........excuse me can you please help me i wish to report a theft as I handed over the report written in Thai to the desk officer.

Having decided to attend the Police Staion we had taken the time to dress in a respectful mannor,shaved and polished our shoes. We stood  in front of him waiting for him to decide what to do next. without speaking looked us up and down and number of times then rose and went to the next room and signalled us to follow were the report was given to an Inspector.

We stood until invited to sit and again in perfect english we were able to discuss the events of last evening and the discovery in the morning at great length.The lady in question had left her mobile telephone number with my friend and I had also taken a photo of her with my camera phone. The inspector called the number and spoke to her about the theft to which she plainly knew nothing about, however she was told to appear at the police station the following day where she would be spoken to about the theft.

We thanked the officer for his help and would see him in the morning we left feeling is this all worth it.

12 noon we were back in the Police Station face to face with the lady in question who had arrived mob handed with family and friends all wishing to have their say about how good this lady was and she could never do such a bad thing to such a kind falang. This was Thailand at its best there were letters being handed round documents being passed here and there non stop chat from the "defence team" while my friend and i looked on.

Enough was enough 1 hour had passed action now was needed and I requested a private chat with the Inspector. We knew that she was guilty no other was involved she took the money and we needed to prove it so it was time to let Scotland Yard take over.

I asked that we call her bluff and let her convict herself. This was a new approach the Inspector commented how can we do this. Please have her taken and photographed then take her finger prints we will produce my friends wallet in an exibits plastic bag and then tell her your going to dust the wallet for her finger prints.

Now 2 hours later after having a delightfull lunch in the Police Station the inspector

calls us back to his office where he has good news. "Having seen the wallet on his desk in the exibits bag and the being told that the wallet is going to be dusted for her prints she wants to make an offer of 5000 baht to close the matter and make it easy for all concerned" he said. His next comment was quite astounding "if she willing to pay you 5000 then she's going to pay you 12000 or she's off to the monkey house right now ".

9,10,11,12,000 baht counted out infront of us my friend signed her release and she was told to go from the Police Station a very lucky lady that we did not press that she go before the local court and detained in the monkey house, still protesting that she did not do it but refusing to have the wallet dusted.

We sat drinking ice coffee paid for by the Police exchanged telephone numbers and made a donation of 1000 baht to the inspectors charity of his choice we left the Police Station struggling to get out of the front office with a satisfaction of a job well done.  

Remember: The land of smiles will smile back if your smiling and growl at you if your growling.

I have always wondered about the follicular challenged among us and why they don't just either buy a hat or stop worrying about the extra skin to wash.

A friend of mine, married to a Thai comes here on holiday every year , he is a proper slap head, he has been bald since he was in his twenties and I have seen some old photos of him he looked like William Shakespear he still gets riled when I call him the "Bard", the first thing he does here is buy “hair restorer” or also known a bank balance booster because even here its not cheap.

After a few days he asks me to have a glimpse and report any progress I always have to say that there is no new hair but a varied shade of red, from pink to bright red where he had been rubbing this junk in.

Over the years I have seen so many Bobby Charlton look-alikes with their comb-over’s and have always thought the same thing as I do when I see when I see some fat Farang women wandering the streets here don’t these people possess mirrors so then they could see how daft they look?

Yesterday I saw the award winner a Thai, now get a load of this!

He was a classic male pattern slap head but what he had done was to let the hair on the back of his head grow long, here’s the good bit, he then got a length of black double sided tape stuck this on his head from ear to ear the stuck the hair onto the tape.

I was hypnotised by the sight, as I was talking to him it was a job not to stare at it and a bigger job not to photograph the spectacle and I swear I had not touched a drop.

Now consider this, who would attract more attention a bald man or someone with about 75 strands of hair taped onto their head?

Say, you worldly expats-when does the rainy season start?  I heard that it was the end of april and onwards, but I figured it's best to ask firsthand....  Should I pack my raincoat for the last few weeks of my vacation, or has this drought postponed things?

If the Thai locals are that much up in arms about it, I think you'll find that he will "disappear" very soon.

And I also think that not many Police or Government officials will be too bothered by his disappearance too.

Some footage was filmed pat pong march 2004 for the big blockbuster ,Bridget Jones the edge of reason.Has a totally unrealistic chapter in a Thai woman's prison ,they all sound so fake ,it's quite funny if you know Thailand .
