I like your attitude! lol

So i'm not going nuts.

The 7/11 in chaing kahn ran out (i bought the last 2 bottles )

i kept going back to the store, only to find the spot still empty.

On my last day there, i checked and still empty.

Since returning to Bkk, Rayong and to Koh Somet, i havent seen any, anywhere.

Yes I did mean the Planters type - or the British version which is made by KP foods and has the same ingredients.

Another think I can't seem to find is Twiglets. I guess only Brits would know about, or even enjoy eating, tasty little Twiglets !! ( they're little brown wheat sticks covered in dried Vegemite / Marmite, fyi).

Planters! Yum!!!!

ok you guys/gals have me hungry again!

Speaking of peanuts, our driver got me some boiled peanuts.

I LOVE boiled peanuts .

I bit into one.

<deleted>???? it was SWEET!

still good, but in hawaii and in the south of the US, the boiled peanuts are slightly salty.

i guess i'll have to make my own, that is, IF i can find some raw peanuts in the shell

Vegemite on toast with a fried egg on top. The vegemite is Better than slashing maggi all over it

Wait, i dont even know of any assie that like vegemite!

but I only know some americanized aussies.

To answer the question.... Pizza!

but i'm sure someone already mentioned that.

Maybe, if you don't have a car, a dependent spouse, kids, or anything beyond the most basic accommodation, then yes 1000 Baht would do you.

Bugger me, I have just described myself!

I resemble that!

Found this with some info on green fees

and a list of courses in bkk and pty.

rayong included in the pty list

Hi. Brand spanking new memeber here.

15 handicap.

I didnt bring my clubs from san diego with me. while traveling up north, i ran across a billboard advertising a Callaway outlet. My friends(thai nationals) told me that in thailand, "outlet" means you'll pay US prices or higher ). anyone have expereince with those outlets?

and any good local sources for new or used clubs?

I found oneonline that looked interesting for new clubs.

onlygolfthailand dot com

Sorry, but the forum wouldnt let me supply the actual link.

Just checked out the site you mentioned. 14,000 baht for a Diablo driver that is three generations old and could buy in the US for 3,000 baht? For the same money, you'd be better off buying a plane ticket home and buying the latest gear at US retail prices.

Yes you could. you could also have some friends ship it to you. the possibilities are endless.

Do you have any other suggestions? atleast i offered up a suggestion other than to fly over and buy it.

PS the burners 3-pw at 20K bhat didnt sound too bad. but some of the other werent so good. but it was a source.

Any other recommendations would be greately appreciated by this hack.

My comment wasn't meant as a dig either, just a gentle reminder. I've traveled the world on business and have learned to not ask what I was eating. Many things were absolutely delicious, but I probably wouldn't have eaten it if I knew before hand what it was. Ever tried "rocky mountain oysters"?

Sorry, i dont have to balls to eat that....

......

.....

I'm ashamed. but i couldnt resist

Hi, i'm a newbie with similar problem.

I'll be at Lat Phrao within walking distance to the Paradice Mall. Any place showing the ProBowl near there that someone may know of?

"What seems to have been overlooked here is that not only the MCB but the local mosque have totally and unreservedly condemned the attacks, and any similar action; unfortunately the actions of a few bigoted extremists often leads to the condemnation and sidelining of all - which is just what the extremists want"

Talk and condemnation is cheap,do those that condemn the attacks do anything to control their own Bigoted Extremist people? a Big NO!

Because it's not the job of citizens to chastise those who break the law. That's called vigilantism. It's the job of the police.

http://www.guardian....omophobic-video

I disagree.

its not vigilantism to promote understanding, and tolerance. Its the duty of every citizen pomote civil conduct, and prevent someone breaking the law if possible. its not vigilantism to break up a bar fight by pulling a buddy away, its not vigilantism to prevent law breaking, as long as we dont break the law ourselves . If we turn a blind, be afraid to get involved, and say "let the law handle it", we have lost. the lawyers and cheaters will win.

I'm not promoting violence, but i am saying that the religious leaders have a big influence in the musilum community and need to take a more active positive ACTIVE role. The moderates need to be more vocal, and take more of a leadership role.The community needs to be more active in self policing. Else the younger will see this as the legetimate feelings of the community and adopt those views themselves. and the intolerance will be perpetuated for another generation.

10 years ago, I heard (via the media) that intolerant muslims were just a small fraction of the muslim community. and i wondered, why arent the huge numbers of the moderates speaking out and doing something about it? Its their kids doing and saying this (they are SOMEBODY's kids, right?) Now atleast the moderates are speaking out. Perhaps at somepoints the moderates will start doing something about it before we lose another generation of young impressionalbe youth.

I'm officially getting off my high horse

Sorry for the tirate. I'm usually a bit more under control but this issue seem to strike a nerve with me.

Dying for the sake of dying, intolerance for the sake of intolerance. such a waste.

I have no friends

Problem solved

EDIT:

Crap! someone already used this pissy joke

Sorry guys, didnt mean to poach.

I'm ready to take my punishment!

I wonder how they felt about the sperm bank robbery ad?

555555 both are extremely funny the one from the sperm bank I can see over and over again. funny facts of life that's all.

OK i'm a newbie here so i'll use one of my newbie silver bullets to ask a stupid question.

what is the reference to the "5's" and "sperm bank robbery ad"?

Thanks in advance for your reply and patience

Hi Newbie, no stupid question at all, the 5 refers to the number 5 in Thai Language which is pronounced as HA so 55555 is pronounced hahahahaha the sperm robbery ad refers to a Thai advertising from a while ago have a look your self the English subtitles will help you get it. Once you have seen the ad you can click on many more of these Thai ads and they are very funny at least that's what I think

Have a great day in Amazing Thailand.!!

Thanks for that great explaination!

PS i was finally able to see all the vids.

Jr is very scared and wont come out of the boxers.

He keeps saying "theres no place like home, theres no place like home"

After seeing the vids, i think dating in TL is going to come with some trepidation!

Wahoo! on here for 3 days, and i havent been kicked out! Its a new PB for me! (personal best)

Recent transplant from the states. I'll have to learn about "visa runs" very soon

Digging the Thai food, Thai people (dam_n, everyone seem so friendly), and thai women

i'm 54, act 24, probably smell 74 and look thai (they tell me) as long as i dont open my mouth to speak.

and lastly, dam_n thai is a hard language to pick up. I keep replying to people in spanish!

"lo siento"...... i mean "kah tort"

rubbish thru the window? WHIMP! )

Just kidding. I grew up in a mixed household in the 50's and 60's in the states. Army Brat. Kids growing up in the MTV era, have NO idea of opression. In the civi schools that i went to, there were "whites", "blacks" and "japs". if you were chinese, you might be lucky enough to be called "chink", but mostly you were a "jap". if you were asian, but not japanese, or chinese, you were still "japs". If you were from a mixed home, they really didnt know what to call you. So you became "jap" to the blacks, "nigger" to the whites. Execpt among the army families. There people understood, and we got along,,,,,,,,, somewhat.

It was ok. i just kicked everyone's asses in every achedemic test they gave me. That pretty much shut them up.

If you havent figured, the above was the worst, and the last line was the best . Just trying to fit into the topic parameters lol

"The good old days" are aive and kicking oop North

No licence!

No helmet!

No Horses except for cources

And plenty of lubrication!

lubrication for the horses? ,

Lube for the horse?

Thats kinda like bragging isnt it?

OK i'm a newbie here so i'll use one of my newbie silver bullets to ask a stupid question.

I don't see all that much 'derogatory' towards the transgender grouping in this brief vdo; slightly humorous perhaps,and at best.

On the subject of "transgender" have you seen this amazing vdo-clip:

Certainly blew me away !

Worth a look & listen.

Note to self and the boys

We're going to have to be VERY careful in TL!

According to the police there's CCTV footage of her stealing the camera and police say they intend to prosecute. Also mentions she was studying at Zurich University, not Singapore.

Pity the link is in Thai. I would like to see what it says.

"Of the women in Switzerland, according to the announcement. MP Cheryl New Port Nova Falls to 22-year-old daughter, who went missing on the website. After returning to the country and lost contact since the end of Dec 55, so you may be afraid that even I find that Ms. Ennis was detained in prison in Ranong. On charges of theft in public places at night, or receiving stolen goods. The alien is in the United Kingdom by the end. The immigration officer Ranong. Capture screen. Nissan S. Korn. Cause I stole a camera brand Canon Power off 640 staff. Concealed by the front left side of the shorts. Of staff. Thus was born on 25 Sep ago.

The New Miss I tried to contact the embassy. To get help. I understand the language of the meeting Ms. Dennis was incarcerated and did not get much help. As was reported in the online media. Ranong police officer. It is coordinated to the Embassy of Switzerland and the Embassy has provided assist. By a facilitator. And relatives to appoint a lawyer to bail it out. After being held in a prison in Ranong.

Mother of John. S. I came to New York on Mon, 22 Jan 56 to appoint a lawyer to apply for bail. MPs meeting new facility with 300,000 but Jamming is broken. certification letter from the University of Zurich. In Switzerland To confirm that. Ms. Jardine was educated Sunnis. To be used as evidence bail.

Reporters questioned the authority of the police. Preliminaries day scholar with Ph.D. Deputy Director Chai land P.hw. Ranong said the prosecution of Mr. JA New evidence from the CCTV footage. While the burglary. Must be prosecuted by law. The competent authorities have written to Tom. The embassy after meeting Ms. Dennis was arrested litigation. Supporting the implementation of all the steps of the law.

Progress on 23 Sep at Mrs. Alice Beth Sheridan to Nora's mother. MPs for Ontario. The aunt of the screen. Nissan Cheryl S. de Sonora traveled from country to Switzerland to Ranong with attorneys filed a request for bail. S. Korn Sunnis. Then in court with 300,000 limit by Ranong Provincial Court. I have orders not Miss Sonora Nissan Cheryl to leave the country and will be reporting to the County Court Judgement every 30 days until the case is settled.

The Dame Alice Beth Sheridan to Nora mother said I was worried about her daughter very much that it happens, the reservoirs and the idea that the media may be the news of their daughter in a bad way to do it. to provide media to deliver the news. But after staying in Ranong in two days to apply for bail daughter the Court of London was the police in Ranong to help keep track of your contacts with other agencies involved with the Embassy of Switzerland. California and the second day of the authorities and the media have a feeling that they did not intend to disgrace their families. I think that there's some misunderstanding in communication with the staff to make such events more. Because of the new arena, which accused Ms. I do not have witnesses. Since traveling to Thailand for the first time and alone. The reason is that the interpreter is on the scene of a Burmese interpreter. Make communication difficult. I would like to appeal to the Court of Justice for a new meeting with Ms..

The official police action against Ms. Yan meeting Denis. CCTV footage as evidence of theft to be prosecuted by law"

Google translate, while needing work, is a wonderful thing.

Sounds like the mom knows how to play the game hopefully the daughter will learn also.

PS who would steal a camera now days? Esp a western woman. Its all PDA's now.

Mom's got the right attitude. Do what you have to do, Say what you have to say, get your daughter out.

dam_n

No one?

Sprite Zero

In & Out Burger

Yep. In-n-out burger.

The thai whopper is pretty close to the US

Found A&W root beer but no DQ at the same place

Found the Dew at a rest stop!

McD fries here in TL just dont cut it.

Steaks in TL are HORRIBLE! what i would do for a Ruth-Chris or a Mortons.

Cioppino, or Paella!

I LOVE thai food. so when it comes down to it,

in-n-out, a good steak, laphroaig10, and a siglo vi are it for me. But that could change after a year lol.

Lived in "cajun" country in the US for many years. Go into the local seafood restaurant. The tablecloth was used newspaper and you ordered shrimp, crabs and crawfish by the pound. Cooked them in cajun spices and dumped them in a pile in the middle of the table. If you wanted to "clean" them it was up to you but never saw anyone doing it. Crawfish are deliciuos. "Eat the tail and suck the head" Eating them is an art! JT didn't you ever eat crawdads? Did you clean them?

the fact you used the term "crawdads" warms my heart.

from tx to maryland, no one i know de-veins a shrimp boil (if you know what that is). I find that about 1/2 of the chinese dishes in the US with shirmp are de-veined. either way its going in my mouth If you ever eaten a deep fried shrimp head, you've eaten just as bad or worse.

Shoot, i'm hungry again!

But I cant do the "chicken feet" thang. its just not my style I guess.
