  1. If the repliers worked for someone in their own country and did not get paid, I'm sure they would not like the abuse from TV members when they ask for help. OP did what she was asked and ripped off by a tight ass bitch. Karma love.

    We pray that all turns out great for you and this year will be better.

    It's in the past, learn and live.

  2. Road safety campaign Wear a helmet Don't drink n driveYaba is a no no Slow down Learn to drive first Who am I kidding? It's Thailand.

    Actually, in the majority of the motorcycle accidents that I have seen, the motorcyclists were wearing helmets, were not high on drink or drugs, and could drive. Everyone had been hit by a car or bus, usually sideswiped, some rear ended, and a few hit head on. Many Thai car drivers think the roads are racing circuits, foot down and go.

    maybe a sumo suit would help
  3. I wish all Thais would realize that this whole idiotic episode is about who gets to control government contracts. Who would die for someone else's pockets? It's definitely not for the plight of freedom and democracy. Btw, the Democrat Party should have their use of the word 'democrat' stripped from them. They are just as bad.

    Why? Because they want a clean and non corrupt democratic system??

    name one country in the world with a clean non corrupt democratic system !!!!!!!!!!!!

    australia
  4. To avoid dirty looks and being called nasty names, go with b. 300

    having a decent round of golf in Thailand now days is an expensive

    form of exercise..

    eh ???

    ive just come back from a 23 day tour of Pattaya, and played 6 times, I joined Pattaya sports club and then played

    mainly out of 'The Golf Club' in Lk metro, the golf was tremendous value for money (and im a budget traveller who stayed in a 550 baht night room)

    I paid between 1500 to 2200 per round, that included transport, Green fee, Buggy and Caddy.

    The most pricy was the fantastic St Andrews course which was top class +caddy tip (300) approx. £50 sterling

    In the Uk to play a comparable standard course, have a buggy and caddy and you would be paying well over £100,

    compare Thai prices to Spain and Portugal !!!

    all in all my 6 games cost about £250, awesome value with virtually guaranteed good weather and fantastic courses and after golf facilities,

    and you can even arrange to bang the caddy later oi oi!!

    a golfing paradise

    ps I always tipped 300 as that was what the regulars said to give them

    At least you have the right nickname

    after playing 18 holes at my age, no chance at the other hole. Seriously, never even thought if a caddy being anything else but a caddy and someone to have a laugh with, especially when they see the way I play. Oi. Lol.
  5. I am a PA for a former member. I am a Thai lady. I have joined so that I can learn more about foreigners in Thailand. Also maybe I can help you.

  6. Remember she will be closer to her family, which you will feel like a walking ATM machine. Be nice, be kind, but if you go over board your stay maybe short lived. Enjoy your retirement in Thailand, it is a great place but watch what you spend your hard earnt money on. Rent everything for the first year until you know if and where you fit in :)

  7.  

    Yay! Keep destroying this fragile economy.

     

    Really, that's your only concern?   I'm not going to sling mud around but getting rid of a murderous, corrupt, disingenuous and hollier-than-thou group of family member's should be high on the list of item's to take care of.

     

     

    Sir

     

    If u are married to a thai, the yellows are giving 1 thousand baht a day for pattaya residents to jump on a bus and go to Bangkok to protest.I think that is a jolly good thing to do,will make many thais very happy,and more than willing to vote for yellows,HOORAH TO THOSE NICE,RICH ELITISTS,FOR GIVING THEIR MONEY TO A GOOD CAUSE

    money coming from the yabba sales from the government departments maybe?

  8. Being of limited means I have had to take the ultimate solution of no tip at all.  That also means no golf which is a bit of a downer!  Golf has become a rich man's sport in Thailand.

    if limited funds living in LOS, why are you there ?

  9. It would be a good start by changing from a cash society and be able to pay by card or online payments for most things. Accountability and less tea money. There would be more money to increase the minimum wage instead of a % of most payments hitting the wrong pockets before it enters govt accounts. More accountability from the top in the beginning would assist in the beginning of a real democratic government. Has to star somewhere.

  10. The thai govt will never improve education in the rural areas as 1, it costs money. 2, who would cut the rice? 3, loa cow company would go broke, 4, farangs support many families here, so no need.
