Travel Dude

Makes sense. Like driving - when passengers try to help out and tell me it's clear, I still have to look before I go.

So true. Happened to me once. Passenger gave me the all clear. Luckily I did look myself. - Zooof... A car passed at high speed in front of our nose- as I would not have been able to tell you the story now...

Cheat me once and sooner or later I will have your balls cut in pieces.

It's not your question but go for a Chevrolet Trailblazer. A super strong car with lots of upsides, turbo diesel injection, 200 horsepower, 500 torque, 8 different brake safety systems, board computer and navigation. And good financing options. A great car. My friend has one and I tried it. THAT would be my next buy

Love makes you blind.

And she can play the game of loving you perfectly well... She can make you believe. She can cry in your arms... She can give you perfect love... She is the one...

She can make you happy for years...

She does not even need to be a BG for that.

But, and I have to agree with all the other posters here, it's an illusion created by your perception she loves you.

In reality you are just a finance man giving out free cash upon request.

This is a very different culture then where you come from and you will never understand their ethics and morals. They are so fundamentally different from those of you. Read the book Culture Shock Thailand and you might get a better understanding.

You are no one except an ATM with this girl. And she better be nice to you to have you spill some more cash.

There is no point in talking to her cause you did that already and the result was?

You love her and you THINK she loves you. YOU think... Love makes blind.

Refusing to clean up???

Stop their bus till it is done.

600 the at Bumrungrad. No blood test.

Khan Kamol from OBEC seems as retarded as the Thai schools educational methods. He should be made responsible for all those unwanted teen pregnancies and surge in STD's.

No one will stop youngsters from having sex. They will just do it without condom. What is worse?

Khun Kamol, please get informed and educate yourself!!! This has nothing to do with Thainess, this is about the wellbeing of young people.

Hey Dude-why are you so desparate to get married-better take it as a good sign that your ex wont authorize the divorce-otherwise you may be doing the same with the new one.Obviously the Thai girls push for marriage to lock in the assets but better keep a cool head and not do that ,why bother.Do you think just by being married with some silly document that will get you into heaven or some other silly idea.You canbring your girlfriend to OZ without being married if that is what you are after.

It sounds a little harsh but you are SO right! Getting married will not bring much benefits, except the visa perhaps. Think twice and use your ex as an excuse not to marry. Perfect excuse it is!

And for good feelings and commitment do the local village and monks. That's very nice anyway and will give your Thai partner pride and recognition.

what package is that? Platinum? Please advise. Thanks.

Then i guess you dont have health insurance in Thailand.

I have the very best health plan offered by BUPA and cancer is not covered. From my understanding, this is quite common. I think cancer coverage can be purchased separately. Considering I am in my late 20's, I have taken the gamble that I won't get cancer. If I do, I will probably have to return to America where my health coverage does indeed include coverage for cancer.

What package do you have? Platinum? Please advise, thanks.

Khan Piyathida, head of the office equipment that is supposed to care for health and prevent infections should be immediately dismissed. Her way of thinking does not match at all to her position and responsibility. She seems to have no clue. Her resistance to protection under the excuse of sex encourage by at a younger age is pure murder. She is co-responsible for the high number of STD and HIV AIDS infections.

Come on miss, instead of thinking you know it all, please read international studies of successful health campaigns!

Stiff cheddar if you are on overstay and caught on the way to a border crossing.

You shouldn't be on overstay. It's pretty simple. Why foreigners always think they can overstay, not have their visa in order etc... Let your Thai girlfriend try that in Europe and she will be banned right away for a while... up to 10 years.

Hooligans.

Check passport, visa and work permit. Anything wrong? Throw them out. This country does not need fighting farangs

So we will just have a couple of thousand more cases of skin cancer.

How stupid can it be?

Cool. Next life I'll be a Katoey and marry him

Bad move.

They were not committing a crime, they were offering a service that Thais can't offer.

They were taking nobody's job.

Just another excuse to say how bad these foreigners are..................

I know, you can't work without a WP, but at this instance they were harming nobody.

Try working in the Western world without valid papers or try staying there without valid visa. Why Thailand should be different? The law is the law, it's pretty straight forward.

Farang usual are big size and weigh a lot more than Thai people.

Hence Farang should pay a fuel premium.

If farang flying into Thailand can afford to pay thousands (some times tens of thousand) in jet fuel surcharge, I am sure they would not mind paying a few hundred Bahts in LPG fuel surcharge.

Farang needs to pay extra because they are rich and can afford to. Thai people are poor and have no money to pay.

Frank have big D.ck. That is about 4 inch. That's why farang need to pay more

Suvarnabhumi taxi drivers amd any other driver not using the meter are the disgrace of Thailand. They have bad karma and they are not true Buddhist.

ULTRA = EXTREME

ULTRA Orthodox = Extremists.

Everything that is ultra or Extremist is the same dangerous kind of people.

Perhaps a visit to an Osteopath is a good thing. There is a good one close to BTS Aree. Both are UK educated. He is British and she is Thai. They use a softer technique than a chiropractor. It used to be 1000 per session. Within a couple of sessions you will feel much better. I was very happy with their ser ices and advise.

I believe not allowed to post a link here but type in Google osteopath and Bangkok and you should get their details. Please let us know if it worked for you.

Good luck and good health

You can drive safely in Phuket. No issues with the Police checkpoints.

Be careful of sudden crossing animals just after a hill. A surprise that will have you flying through the air, followed by a painful landing. But I guess with driving around Thailand you are familiar with the traffic dangers here. Have a safe and fun ride!

I am surprised by some very aggressive replies. Jeee guys, get a life! OP was sharing hos experience and asked for some feedback. Here is mine, living for 10 years in Thailand and often going to Hua Hin:

+ too many coach roaches

+ too many mosquitos

+ too much dog poo

+ garbage collection is poor. Yes it looks very dirty for a tourist town.

+ the traffic on the "beach road" should be closed for all motorised traffic in the week end evenings.

+ Suggest to municipality to create a similar atmosphere on the beach road as created on the market in Khao Takiab.

+ Reduce traffic jam by synchronising red lights.

For years I had AIS 3G. At least that's what I was paying for. Appeared that 3G was not yet given by AIS. As long as companies can cheat all of there customers like that without any implication, there are no hopes of better services for consumers.

It seems to happen pretty often now. Friends of mine had the same experience. Coming from the airport and driver refused to turn on the meter. Foul language and threats used by the driver. So much for a warm welcome to our Thailand.

Another couple of friends had issues all the time they spend in Bangkok. Even so that they said they don't want to come back to Thailand. Those rogue taxi drivers are spoiling it for all other drivers as well as the rest of the country. Actually they are traitors to their country Thailand as they damage the country reputation and make that some foreigners will not come here to spend their money anymore. Traitors to their country, that's what cheating taxis are!
