  1. recently overnighted in hua hin (or as a thai friend says, thonglor by the sea) on a drive up from suratthani.

    avoid soi bintabaht and environs unless you want to see where skanks go to expire.

    A mate and i spent an hour watching the yaba dealing lads and the ladies on the pipe dancing out front of some sort of karakoke live music bar just up from the 7--11 there. we were back at the hotel and asleep by midnight with no complaints.

  2. To the OP: I don't have an opinion about paying sin sod or not, it is a cultural difference that you have to deal with together as you have to respect their culture but they should also respect your own culture.

    But offering 20 baht was a bit tactless, even if it was only to the GF.

    tactless or no, it may very well have been the best thing that has ever happened to him.

    look at it any way you wish, but the woman in question breached a trust by repeating something in jest to her mother. If is is happening at this stage, it can only get worse after the ceremony.

    At least he has had a chance to clearly see where the lines are drawn.

  3. forgot:

    -build up a body of over

    Isn't Udon a city with 300 000+ people?

    Surely there is a good night life there.

    In Khon Kaen with prox the same seems to have a fairly ok night life.

    khon kean is great, we had a bachelor party there for no reason other than the fact that it was not bangkok, and no one had any affiliation with the place other than the fact a freind had passed through for work and been taken out on the town by the local cops and loved it.

    around 20 of us 35-45 flew in for 3 nights. never forget it. the farang bars are minging, but the thai clubs are brilliant.

  4. there are virtually no tourists my end of 11. I suspect you have an opinion of the soi having ventured no further than 50% up it.

    as regards your question:

    -central location

    -proximity to sky train

    -variety of pubs/clubs/bars within a short walk

    -2 grocery stores within walking distance

    -ability to get anything i want day or night

    -ability to get a taxi in under 5 mins day or night

    -atmosphere

    -large garden

    -2 bedroom house

    ...snip...

    2wimming pools i can use with my gym membership (not telling where)

    -free grocery delivery

    thats just a few of my reasons

    How much do you pay down there?

    you wouldnt believe me if i told you

    Try us.

    it is rude to even ask.

    suffice to say i have been in the same place for about 15 years now, and have never had a rent increase, though if they were to double my rent it would still be very reasonable.

  6. i am assuming that this post refers to homeownership who announced assets of around 19 million sterling.

    it is my belief that the man is either crass, ignorant, delusional, lying or any and all combinations of the three.

    he might just be a braggart with only 18 million... or perhaps 17.5 million Sterling.

    id file that under crass and ignorant
