'My Thai wife tells me that if a Thai man looks another man in the eye, it means he does not like him and may want to fight him. Is this true?' the rubbish some thai's talk. no it's not true.

dont forget to give your mum a call today!

spent a month traveling through iran and found the food bland and boring to be honest, my taste buds were re-invigorated once i got to pakistan.

marvellous country and people though, pakistan too.

you're writing in englaish but i have no idea what you're going on about...

I slap my missus on the forehead with my penis every time she does not understand me.

Her English skills are improving.

Vile. Not only is it not funny, but it expresses violence. Anyone who slaps their wife or gf is NOT a man. Anyone who beats their gf or wife sexually, is a pervert and NOT a man.

I never know if this type of answer is serious or a joke!

of course her english skills are improving, she'd do anything to get away from your penis

about 5 seconds.

i wouldn't date someone i couldn't effectively communicate with. it's boring and pointless IMHO.

if your partner doesn't have a good grasp of english adapt your language to help them. speak SIMPLE and CORRECT english and speak SLOWLY and CLEARLY.

hearing the muppet native speakers mimicking the pidgin english spoken by their thai partners is embarrassing.

and seeing the native speakers banging on and on in english that their partner clearly doesn't understand but is smiling away out of politeness (or desire for their money) is hilarious.

banglampu seems quiet at the moment too...

land of smiles

dont know the paperwork required details but my sister (UK, good job, university educated) 3 year relationship with an Aussie before moving to Australia. they were made to jump through many hoops and treated as if they were dishonest. lots of paperwork, taken for separate interviews and questioned about the minute detail of their everyday lives so their answers could be compared. quite a palaver! but they got there in the end.

good luck!

You mean to tell me that the school (Chula) whose students didn't even know who Hitler is supposed to be near the top 200 hundred schools in the world? I could name hundreds of better schools in America alone.

one top thai uni graduate was trying to impress me telling me how hitler did the worst ever things in history... i asked how she felt hitler's crimes compared to those of stalin and mao - she replied 'who?'

i've been in chiang mai for two days and tried a different restaurant for every meal, thai and foreign food, and i've yet to have a meal i'm happy with. soggy and flavourless describe most of the offerings... oh yes and then there was the pasta with sauce and veg from a can!

can anyone recommend a good restaurant in the old city area, inpartucular i really fancy a pizza but any decent restaurant will do...

thanks

withdrew 300K from the ATM?? I am only allowed to withdrawl 20K per day.

right, is that even possible? i guess its more quality thai journalism.

i would suggest most foreigners view/experience of thai women is limited to the girls they date whom may or may not be bar girls, may or may not have a decent job and education and may or may not have a good command of english.

how many foreigners take the time to have female friends here? meet and communicate with thai's female or male who are educated and can speak decent english. make the effort and you'll find about and understand a lot more about thailand and thai culture and yes, about thai women.

Bait is all your ever going to get. Get used to it. YOUR A CHUMP.

'YOUR A CHUMP.'

methinks the chump is you

Another suicide?????????????

Something is definitely wrong with LOS....by far too many suicide!!!!

maybe the land isn't as smiley as people think

After 12 years I can say hand on heart I've not had this problem. I wonder what's different in your situation? You must be putting out some kind of vibe, or be a lot older.

i agree. never had this problem.

i have a mate gets it a lot. cant really put my finger on why except he's less fussy about the girls he dates so maybe in the back of his mind he knows they're going to want cash whereas if i get that vibe from a girl i ditch her straight away.

my thai friends in business all complain about how difficult it is to find decent staff. with so many lazy, stupid and dishonest employees here there is really no reason for anyone prepared to work hard not to get a good job.

i see many signs attached to hotels, restaurants, travel agents looking for staff. my advice; your GF needs to get off her arse, put on some decent clothes and go to speak to the owners of any businesses she would like to work.

it is worrying that she isnt doing this already and is resorting to you posting here...

songkran, truly a great time to visit thailand

Thais have also become averse to military intervention and coups d'etat, in fact to all abuses of authority by self-interest and money-dominated politics.

thai's have been wallowing in self-interest and money dominated politics for decades.

the 'journalist' (haha!) is an idiot.

bizarre. wonder who carried out the research and produced a feasibility study which recommended this as a way to improve tourism... i wouldnt employ them.
