Long tang

....and 10 million if it clears them.

Bang on!

If snookyville is one of the most dangerous places in Cambodia could someone please recommend a nicer, safer alternative place to visit for a few weeks holiday? Was planning my trip and came across this thread.

I guess there are differing opinions on how dangerous this place really is but perhaps there will be more agreements on an alternative location to spend time in Cambodia??

Cheers,

Absolutely discraceful behavior, how dare she attempt to tarnish the spotless reputation of this most righteous of competitions. She should be given a thoroughly good spanking immediately!

Stupid is stupid does!

Not stupid at all. With a few licks of paint his temple has become an internet sensation and a tourist trap, with a marked increase of visitors and donations I should imagine.

I prefer to feel like a foreigner here than to feel like one where I come from (London) .

"Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious" Oscar Wilde was supposed to have said. I'll keep reminding my self that and hopefully it will stick one day.

As for finding Miss/missus right. You will never find her if you have it in your mind and pursuing this goal. You will only find her when you are blissfully in love and relaxed with a woman.

FYI, I found my Miss right already. In fact I keep finding her everythime I ejaculate inside her.

Great, thanks.

You will find hard to find a genuine woman in Pattaya and Bangkok these places attract all the dross men and women included. Last friend of to visit the area commented even the devil gave up there. Go north to Chiangmai limited area of street and bar girls plus they are far more attractive with lighter skin. Took abot a month to bed my wife that speaks volumes quality wife and now great mother of two halfies bliss getting the picture.

Halfwits?

Just out of interest, what are you looking to do with these tattooed girls?

Sorry if you mentioned it already.

Nice girls don't get tattoos.

Correct. In Thailand, most girls with tattooes have been involved in the bar scene at some point.

Unfortunately not true anymore.

Maybe 10 years ago but it's a fashion/celebrity now chicks from all walks have them.

Saw a fantastic pair of osprey from one of the restaurants overlooking Lam Da Korng (the big reservoir on the way back to Khorat from Bangkok) yesterday. They put on a great show diving down onto the water trying to catch fish before returning to a point just out of view from the restaurant. Great stuff!

I was thinking about vacuum packing mine and passing it off as a garden ornament .

What has this got to do with Thailand?

Stunning!,,

There's only two things that smell of fish, and one of thems fish.

Old people?

Thai fishing industries are slammed time and again by international watchdogs for ignoring the endemic levels of forced labour and slavery that exist whilst unchecked fleets relentlessly decimate the oceans creating an ecological wasteland on their merry way.

I'm sure most of you that have visited the coast here will have seen the states of the boats they use, the ones that make such charming holiday snaps, I'm sure health and safety isn't the captains top priority. Perhaps the nasty taste in your canned fish are the cleaning agents and preservatives they use.

Personally, if it was caught by a slave, I don't wanna eat it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a tree hugging vegan or anything but there's a point where ones gotta draw the line I think.

Google: thai fishing slavery and you will find countless articles on the subject.

Sorry for the rant!

Why don't you try a longer trip next time see if you feel the same way.

I also tend to prefer Cambodia to Thailand but have only ever spent a few weeks at a time over there so can't say if I would recommend it as a full time place to live.

How about a pros and cons list for both places?

I like em short fat and ugly.

I know what you mean about food getting ordered and not finished, that's pretty frustrating, especially when you're the one paying, But in general I find that Thais are very resourceful and much more likely to recycle, or repair something than throw it away.

That's my experience anyway.

You have a wife. She is Thai. She understands how things work in Thailand. Ask her what you should do then do as she says.

This is going to be much better dealt with if you take a back seat in proceedings and let the locals sort it out. Definitely don't admit to anything!

First you need to establish weather or not this lady has any proof that you were responsible. Did she or anyone actually see the incident or is she just assuming you did it based on the history you've told us. Can you send out your wife to talk with neighbors and find out what the score is. Thais love a good gossip and I'm sure this is all round the soi by now. If she says her friend/ sister saw it this is who your wife must talk to.

If you can convince her it wasn't you then that would surely be the best outcome.

If she is just trying her luck then you don't have to worry. Laugh it off.

If she saw you or knows someone who did and can prove it then it's a different story. I'd send the wife in to arrange settlement, it will be the cleanest way going forward. If it was a smelly soi type dog 20,000 is a joke btw, surely that is a price based on you being a farang, 5,000 would be a good price to pay to put all this cleanly behind you.

Of course you could just deny anything and get away with it but this lady may have really loved that horrible mutt and could now have you and her family in her sights, this is a situation you need to avoid.

Pardon my ignorance does this mean Taiga and Red-throated are now two separate species?

I did a quick google search and came up with Ficedula parva, F.albicilla and finally F. parva albicilla.

I am totally confused.

2 separate species alright. But the split is Red-breasted & Red-throated (Taiga)

i remember the first record for Britain of Taiga Flycatcher... back in 2003, one turned up at Flamborough Head! Twitchers from all over the UK flocked to Yorkshire to see it. Was quite an event for British birding. It was also mist netted.

Was it lost? Why would it end up there? How does something like that happen?

Please excuse my ignorance.

in this case, at the western most part of their range, when migrating south they (all migrating birds actually) can get caught up in strong weather/winds that blow them way off course....hence a few oddities turn up in places where they simply shouldn't be. We call them 'vagrants'. UK gets a handful of these every year from east & west.

Thailand gets them too... enter the 'twitcher'.

Gotcha, thanks for filling me in!
