  1. From what I remember, you can transfer but why the F they call that airport swampy remains anybody's guess. 

    And who gave that idiotic name? Why not swoosh? Or suvapoo? Or supum? Every single one of these make more sense and sound better. The swoosh airport. Or goofie, which would refer to gold field, the original meaning. 

  2. Imagine that you have a lower/normal blood pressure. 

    Seriously, there are documented cases when they asked people to do that on a regular basis and checked their blood pressure before and after. They all had lower results after. The mind can't differentiate between what's real and what's imagined. 

    Like simply thinking about some food you like triggers the secretion of saliva even though there's no food in sight. 

  3. If you are worried about who's watching you then you are far from being free as a bird. 

    I have never understood why people buy into this lame stuff. Yes it is true that there are certain people on this planet who are so afraid and so paranoid that they think they must watch everything and everybody like the <deleted> governments etc

    I have never bothered with that. The intentions of others, especially low life beings have absolutely no effect on me. 

    I am too busy living my life, I have no time for idiots.

    I'm just about ready to buy a wooded property from my Thai partner's family, and your post raised a bit of an alarm in my head.

    According to my Thai partner, that was definitely a "family scam," not a "Thai scam." But you probably figured that out anyway.

    Ergo: I think I'll still keep a more vigilant watch on the plot until I use it. Thanks for the heads up.


    MY OWN STORY
    -------------------------------------
    Bought a cheapie watch on the street in Bangkok (Sukumvit). Just can't resist those high-tech looking 100-baht watches. So, I paid the price, strapped it on my risk, took four steps down the street, and the crystal fell out onto the pavement.

    My Thai friend thought there might still be hope if I retraced my four steps, and ask for a replacement or refund for something purchased less than a minute earlier.

    The lady vendor looked at my bare-faced watch, and then trained a steady, schoolmaster gaze on me. Suddenly, I felt like the naive little child who had just made a ridiculous request (e.g. Oliver Twist in, "May I have some more porridge, sir?")

    With a straight face, and waving her finger, she lectured me: "Farang no understand. Watch made to work without glass. No problem."

    She then took the crystal, wrapped it in a little tissue, tossed it in my bag, dismissively waved me on my way, and turned her face to her next victim.

    Remarkably, without a crystal, the watch lasted longer than all my two-dozen other cheapo timepieces did. Maybe I'm onto something.

    The same thing happened to me too. I took the watch back, told him to give back the money and gave him the watch. I wish i met that woman so I could do the same to her. See who's the victim lol.

    I bought my wife some farmland from her sister and didn't plan on doing anything with it for while just fenced it off but 3 months later noticed all the trees had been cut down,  on enquiry to what's going on her sister told my wife we sold you the land not the trees. :laugh:  :biggrin:

     

    Wife did get a share of wood sale. :thumbsup:

    If she sold the land she sold the trees as well. Which makes her a thief. Aside from being dumb, I would also take her to court. 

  6. There's this friendly practice that you make the chicken swallow a small device that explodes once the chicken is taken out of a preset radius. It's not gonna kill the thief just rip his arms off which is fine because a thief without arms is beneficial to society. As for the chicken you can collect the pieces and prepare it for lunch. 

     

  7. The most amazing thing is that many of them happen to be proud of it. I see the same in Europe, everywhere. 

    There are guys who pull up their shirt on top of their disgusting huge belly and walk around like that. Like in the middle age when it was actually cool to be fat coz there was such shortage on food that if you were obese, that meant you had money. 

    Who knows maybe they are stuck in another era.
