Now he's tied for 4th place, 3 behind the 4 leaders at the US Open.  Total purse US$2,000,000+ so in the top ten would bring home a big check.  Sure he won the Brunei Open recently but a good showing at Shinnecock Hills would pump him up big.

Except for Finau, a Polynesian, Kiradech the only player near the top with different color skin and body type than those skinny white guys.

Have a great day Barnrat.

For those interested i can strongly recommend this 150 page book, written by a Thai fluent German scholar..

Of course life in Thailand for farang men with Thai wives and  who themselves can speak Thai is very different compared with men without such amenities. Many men, and women, require daily external entertainments in order to keep up a 'big face', or to relieve mental boredom.

But the fact remains, that life itself is not boring, only some folks living it are bored coz they can find no personal internal satisfactions.

Got grits?  If yes, i'm on my way!

I thought this thread about the new digital TV (television) signals to be rolled out soon.  And the OP needed a modern device to view.

BTW, what is SETV?

Heard the term 'bird brain'? 

Habit rules all so unless you can break a 237 million year old habit of resting/nesting in nice places, pigeons will abound. Kill a few, annoy a few with rubber things (try inflated condoms), fake cannon shots (sure to annoy the neighbors), wire mesh all will be met with temporary success as next generation of bird brains has the exact same habit as old generation.

But frankly i do sympathize as i also do not like the pigeon shit on my balcony.

Northern chinese men have a very pronounced, and ugly, habit of rolling up the front of the 

t-shirt to about the nipples and displaying the gut belly, this only in the summer.

To see a group of lazy, slovens puffing away on cigs, swilling rot-gut 'bai jiu' with dirty yellow smelly bellies hanging out...the boorish result of thousands of years of male domination.

I never saw a white man do this.

OK on the roosters but what about those temples with numerous rabbits? Or cobra snakes, and i mean hundreds of painted clay/porcelain cobras looking very ominous indeed propped up near the temple. 

Am not sure how the TM30 is sent it to Immig, except at an hotel which is web based reporting, at least here in CM.  I'm considering renting a house in the countryside and the owner lives in Bangkok and i'm sure he does not want to be bothered by numerous TM30 forms since i travel out of T'land often.

Could i ask him to sign a dozen of such paper forms, all undated, and then when i do leave and return i would fill in the data and mail the form to CM Immig?

I've no problem with the TM30 but the owner won't want to do it so i'm only relieving him of this onerous detail.

Hey guys, and gals.  The system in place here in T'land suits the folks in charge, keeps many underling Thais employed, reminds the farang just who is in charge and brings in some farang cash.  If your old car still runs and you have no more cash on hand, would you buy a new car on credit?  Why change any system if no need or obvious and immediate benefit?  

It's the conservative and traditional way.  It ain't broken.  The Immig system does not work to benefit the farang.  IMHO.

Makes sense to me to buy, well in advance, a few liters or cases of one's favorite booze and watch the colourful evening events on big screen hi-def TV. 

I had a pair of custom made leather sandals made in Beijing. The originals were outstanding, size US 13. The custom made pair were only fair approximations. The difference between factory shoes and street vendor made is very great, regardless of cost.

I met one while walking in Hong Kong one dark night on a remote country trail. He/she was sliding into the woods as i approached and i think there was very little chance i would step on the snake. Yes, nocturnal and very poisonous. Avoid when possible.

YES, Hong Kong Open again this year with big prize money. October 22-25. And this the final event prior to Race to Dubai so many hopefuls entered, including Gmac, MAJimenez, JRose, etc. And to support the team, free entry on Thursday. Price for 4 days, HK$600 = 2700 TB.

So get your Air Asia tix, Octopus Card, MTR to Sheung Shui station and enjoy.

Put the thing in a container and wait a week/month. Observe the result.

Many genera of mosquitoes in the world, some large and some small. The big ones are easy to hear, to see and to swat by hand. The small ones are much more troublesome. I have found in T'land only the small ones. Maybe in south T'land some big ones.

I do need eyeglasses. When i first saw the headline of this thread i read 'I need to improve my awful Thai mistress.' Had good laff.

but Anirban Lahiri took home 14 million baht. Nice for the lads from Asia. I guess, Jason Day, partly Asian as mom is Filipina.

Too late now but i thought it always best to inform/register any birth with pertinent Embassy if passport may be wanted some day in the future.

Well, Kiradech did play a bit reckless over the final match. Seems he needs to control the aggression and make more smart decisions. He was of course, half the age of Karlsson which maybe made a difference. i wonder if Kiredach moved up enough to play in USA, at the PGA, 2 weeks hence?

Here's some info on soy and estrogen

make your own decision.

Unfortunately, yes. Hong Kong is probably the nearest place for big shoes that you can try on. Lots of big western men there with plenty of cash so they are shopping for shoes. If you go i suggest Sheung Wan, near Central and try the big department stores round there. Custom shoe makers too in HK.

I've got an old, old pair, the 2nd pair of same model, New Bal which are so decrepit and repaired in China that they really belong on a beggars foot but damn, they are the most comfy shoes ever owned. Shoe companies much like car companies, always must have new models on hand and send the the old ones to history. To my regret.

Current extension expires 5 October. Would prefer to re-apply and get stamped in about 15 September. Is this acceptable to Immig? How many days prior to 5 October can i do this? thnx
