Let's hope the nasty punks are caught and savagely beaten in prison for being too slow to pick up the soap in the shower.

Why would Thailand give this commie bastard sanctuary?

Bar girl: take your time, no need hurry!

Chinese tourists groups are the worst! Rude, loud and pushy!

Typical airhead move! But she is hot!

This was a great market - hope they find a new home.

As for those that think that destroying small business and modernising is the only way to go you need learn about cotemporary thought on town planning. Change and modernisation don't always give the most enjoyable experience. Singapore is, in my opinion, a wonderful place - for half a day, and then it is just a bore.

Precisely! Bangkok can beamed clean and efficient and charming -- and it will become boring like Singapore. The city needs to make a choice.

Being more like Singapore would be a good thing.

Is this guy on drugs?

The police should find the taxi/tuk-tuk drivers who let the air out of the tires, confiscate their vehicles and put them to work cleaning the streets for a couple of months. Proceeds from the vehicles are split between charities, police and the Chinese tourists.

They look very happy together. It is not an easy task to run a successful business in Thailand. Good on them!

You led with your self-righteous chin and got popped - live with it!

Have you been a low class slacker all your life?

Thanks guys .. Well i've been here since i was 20 and will be 31 in may it comes a time in life where you just get fed up of a place plus all the bs what comes with it i have also lived in Bangkok / Pattaya / Phuket .. just tired these days .. plus i'm not getting any younger ...

Exactly what are the driving factors behind your departure? Can you list a few?

Why do anyone need a facebook-account?? To share your pathetic lives with the rest of the world!

What purpose does it serve?

nothing wrong with FB, if you use it properly,

I have been taking to past friends I havent seen in 25 years, and wouldnt have known how to get hold of them...so from that perspective its good, but documenting every facet of your life every day...yes a bit pathatic, but the worst one is people posting photos of what they are eating at that specfic minute...I mean who gives a F what ya eating, but then again this is not just restricted to FB, have seen this on TV as well...children I can understand doing it, but middle/old aged men... ....very stange to me

Actually, I do give F about what they are eating as I often tuck away the dishes and restaurants for future reference. Not ll of them obviously, but have found plenty of good options from the postings.

Why not go to any busy bar at about 1am and see all the drunk farangs doing their dancing, surely looks like flamenco and they seem well adept at doing it!

Keep your day job!

There are worse ways to go

Must be tough for a superior person like yourself to have to endure what the common farangs do

Sounds like you have a death wish.

"I can reach my home/resort/farm in 30 minutes of driving up winding mountain back topped roads."Sounds good.But hold on.How far do you have to go to get a can of beer when you run out? Or a fresh hot pizza when you're feeling peckish and dont want to cook? Or even a bowl of seafood noodle soup?And how long will it take you to get to hospital if one day you need to in a hurry?From my condo in 5 minutes I can walk to the beach, to 3 supermarkets, to at least 200 restaurants and other eating places of all types and nationalities and price ranges from 20B to 2000B per meal, and I can get on the direct air-con bus to BKK airport which will whisk me there in under 2 hours for 135B. And there are dozens of hospitals and clinics within a 10 minute drive.And unless I'm very much mistaken I'm still in Thailand. Do I hear you ask if it is real? It feels real enough to me and I suppose that's all that matters.

Sounds good. Where are you talking about?

I am sure the Thai military needs to remain ever ready at the beckon call of the US or is this a 'comply' order or else? What ever happened to Utapao revamp in favour of the US 'weather balloons'?

What are you possibly bleating on about....Cobra Gold has been a joint military exercise for decades and at the invitation of Thailand. It includes Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, USA, Japan and Korea. Thailand and The US have been treaty allies since 1833 and routinely train together across different military platforms.

You nailed it. Good to see some posters actually know what they are talking about!

Tried to shoot some pool last week in a small bar, but myself and two friends left due to one old drunk smoking up a storm. Manager seemed unable to grasp the concept of losing business because of the smoke.

Crossbar on soi 23 has great food, BUT they allow smoking inside (despite a no smoking sign on the front windows). A shame, really, as I have many mates who, like me, refuse to go there because of that.

I am the same way.
