They could just start turning away people with tattoos, that would be a great start - no brainer to weed out the no brainers. I mean, what says IQ <100 more than some stupid picture copied off a tattoo parlor wall, inane scribbling or the worst foreign script (Thai) stained into your body you cannot read, pronounce, understand or explain? Even better, the "tribal tattoo" -from the tribe Morona no doubt.

Asian people with Buddhist or animist tattoos excepted*

this would be a start but........ no brits, ozzies, ruskies just deutsche, some amies, chinese and koreans not so pleasant i guess

We all have social morays under which we form opinions of people at first sight. However right or wrong, it is part of our makeup.

Something about this fellow tells me to just walk the other way. Might be the nicest guy in the world, but I'll never know because my experience tells me to steer clear of him.

Timi boy, thats exactly what I am talking about ! ugly man with ugly tatoos, sharky the ozzie sex and steroid konsul in patters, lovely bloke? are you guys out of your mind ! very lovely and having sex with minors luvly

nothing new, happens 24/7 on most every corner in patters, I saw much worst behavior and uglier men with uglier tatoooos there, than anywhere else on this planet

In my area the Monks begin the daily Alms rounds early. In my area we begin our house hold work early to avoid the heat of the day. In our area we work up until 10pm most nights (again to avoid the heat) which means bedtime around 11 or midnight. In my area we do not sit in a bar drinking until 3am, sleeping in until 2 in the afternoon. But these are just some of the reason why normal people get up early, get work done, sleep during the hottest time of the day and then start again.

Sometimes I truly miss my bar hopping days as a tourist.....

I'm sorry but I really don't know which country you are from but in the West,normal people don't get up at 5:00am!

Normal people in Western countries work from 9:00am-5:00pm,they don't get up when it's still dark and fall asleep on their feet for the rest of the day!

I'm in the west and I get up at 5 to start work at 6. Only office workers do 9 to 5.

I think the op spent his worklife starting at 9am perhaps? It certainly isn't only Thailand getting up at 5. I'd say the whole construction industry most are up by 6am at latest and thats worldwide. That's just 1 industry. Anyhow, best time of the day when the sun starts coming up!

half an hour earlier works for me, have time for my java and dont have to answer questions to anybody

sleeping in? never with a 4 and a half year old, up at 5.30 every day and loving it

all done with 2 phonecalls, she probably has a new walking atm already, this was easy

this stinks from the first post, just trolling or ??

jt you are absolutely right, but there is so much misleading information out there,especially from real estate agents ( different forums created

by them ) especially in panama and cr bothgreat places to retire,if you can afford it ), here comes the but, SEAsian countries are the cheapest

countries for adventurous expats to retire, theese are my rankings :

#1 LOS ( best in housing, infrastucture, HC, expatcommunity and much more )

#2 the Philipines ( very closed, for shure better beaches but the food?? )

#3 Vietnam ( will be in 10 years #1 )

#4 cambodia

#5 Laos

Burma/Mmar will catch up soon

as I say, just my thoughts

send from my spaceship cruising above patters looking at gogos through my telescope using my TVisaSpaceShipApp

for all the critics, spellcheck is not working andIamfrommars

1000 US$ per month to live in South or Central America ? pretty much impossible ! in CR or Panama 555

1500 US$ per month is possible, but not fun at all

45000 bath in LOS gives you probably more quality of life there

most of the retirement destinations in int.living are pretty much for people with more than 2500 US$ per month retirement

(remember: 550$ per month in CM, 650$in..., 750$ in..., just a joke )

stay in LOS as long as you can, still the biggest bang for your bucks and more entertaining especially on TV

cheers

Wikipedia seems to have summed up the term quite well, it's not a good term and pretty much means any banned drug.

Narcotic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the drug classification. For the scuba diving reference, see Nitrogen narcosis. For the sedative agent, see Sedative. For pain control medications of both narcotic and non-narcotic varieties, see Analgesic. For the album by Muslimgauze, see Narcotic (album).

Heroin, a powerful opioid and narcotic.

The term narcotic (pronunciation: /nɑrˈkɒtɨk/, from ancient Greek ναρκῶ narkō, "Ι benumb") originally referred medically to any psychoactive compound with any sleep-inducing properties. In the United States it has since become associated with opioids, commonly morphine and heroin and their derivatives, such as hydrocodone. The term is, today, imprecisely defined and typically has negative connotations.^[1][2] When used in a legal context in the U.S., a narcotic

drug is simply one that is totally prohibited, or one that is used in

violation of strict governmental regulation, such as heroin or morphine.

From a pharmacological standpoint it is not a useful term,^[3]

as is evinced by the that gives to ardent spirit and wine their

intoxicating power; while the narcotic principle to opium and tobacco

imparts similar properties. In popular language, alcohol is classed

among the stimulants; and opium and tobacco among the narcotics; which

are substances whose ultimate effect upon the animal system is to

produce torpor and insensibility; but taken in small quantities they at

first exhilarate. And since alcohol does the same, most medical writers,

at the present day, class it among the narcotics. |Edward Hitchcock,

American Temperance Society (1830)^[4] |}}

Statutory classification of a drug as a narcotic often increases the

penalties for violation of drug control statutes. For example, although

federal law classifies both cocaine and amphetamines

as "Schedule II" drugs, the penalty for possession of cocaine is

greater than the penalty for possession of amphetamines because cocaine,

unlike amphetamines, is classified as a narcotic.^[5]

If that was true in every courtroom then I would have been convicted of manufacturing narcotics in 1999. I guess Arizona must go by some other Legal term because my conviction was for Manufacturing Dangerous Drugs. Not Narcotics, Not Methamphetamine. In the real world, not the wikipedia one that is how they do it. I have been clean since August 1999. I have been sober since 1993. I guess Arizona corrected me.

lucky you and lucky AZ

Hi there,

I am from India, a friend of mine actually suggested me to join this forum.

He is calling me to Thailand to see some business proposals. As I might say, I am very much interested in starting something on the similar lines. (As in Agro based )......

Also I think me & my colleague would help you in doing what to intend to, that is selling investment plots.

We have a few clients who will be interested in buying for investment purposes.

Only problem is I personally will be coming next month. So till then I can't do anything.

Also we will have a few terms & conditions set before we start working on your behalf.

Please mail me for further details or queries.

Regards,

Himanshu.

me, 53 girlfriend is in her early 30s

will they ever get the gang leaders ,or only the small fry

The US government is unable/unwilling to put bankers and other financiers behind bars in the US so why do you think that the Royal Thai government would suddenly change course and do so? That being said, and pardon me for emphasizing the need to be taken quite literally here, but traditionally heads have rolled after such a drug bust, with said heads usually being found in a canal some distance from the big city.

or some skidivers without wings or other forms of suicides, fine with me

nice job RTP, with a insider who had the intelligence and who made the perfect call for timing the bust, it seems to me that this lot was ready for shipment, probably to a ( drug ) wizzard of oz, the bikie gangs and there partners will have some head aches I am looking forward to read more stories like this, in the upcoming months

btw you can find the best scams on these dating sites, thaifriendly, thailovelinks etc, probably 50% of the profiles are fakes and scams ;-}

I feel sorry for that woman, as for everyone else who got scammed, but use common sense in cyberspace !

check out "Thai Anti Scam" on FB, lots of scamer pics there !

You can import the boat free of excise-duty (iow: Tax-Free), but you still have to pay 7% VAT.

You can not import the Outboard Motor free of excise-duty (+ 200% of new-value) and you also have to pay 7% over the total, which includes cost of CIF !

Forget importing anything with wheels on it, because the import-duties are way too high.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, this helped

I have a seaark 2072 with a yamaha 90hp jet ( 115 hp with prop) here in the US, I am wondering if it would make sense to import it to Thailand, great river runner, runs on step on 10 inches of water, easy;

anybody has an idea about custom duties etc? anybody imported a boat to thailand before for private purposes ?

also have a polaris 6 wheeler, sportsman 500, the same questions here

thx in advance for any input

cheers

Mental Image ... BE GONE!

dont get that one, but candy pants sounds like ............. use your imagination ;-}

...and love yourself more.

Revolting.

yes, it is

I always listen to Paul.

Seriously, just tell her the money ran out. That should do the trick.

that is a old one, will not work, better to say you have a strange illness

Just tell her directly to be sincere with her, not buy the time for both is you guys. If she loves you do my h, she cans wait and understand you if not,she will say "good bye". Living alone is sound weird and loneliness but it's more healthy with your mind to do what you want, and love yourself more.

wow, what is that

Just tell her straight...

You say you're financially sound so just bung her a nice lump sum, pay the rent on the house for her for a few months as severance and you'll be sorted...

You can donate my relationship counselor's fee to charity...

better have some drinks, when I am back
