hi, you can get them from bkk , checkout hk probiotics, her name is Halima , she`s very good I just got some off her

Hi Paulyd2k , Thanks for the info I will follow it up. Kind regards,

Good day All,

I have seen this topic before on TV and looking on Google, I see the last post was in 2011.

I'm looking for milk kefir grains in the Pattaya Area. Any information would be appreciated.

Kind Rgds,

I would wait until December when we MAY all know more above the ASEAN AEC rules and regulations

It maybe easier then

Agree with another poster and live in Thailand for 1 year before you spend any money

Do your market research and due diligence

as I have seen many try and 99% fail

99% fail. Is that a recognised statistic or your opinion???

For me it would have to be, me myself I, John Lennon followed by Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson.

If everyone accepted things the way they were - we wouldn't have macaroni and cheese.

True.

You Know I think you should add bacon bits to the macaroni and cheese. That's what real people do. Heh! Heh!

Never wai those of a lower social standing than yourself.

If you consider yourself of lower social status than an illiterate farmer, wai away.

Most of the comments relate to who gets wai'd. I assume their are rules within Thai culture that are deemed suitable etiquette / respect etc....

MaeJoMTB refers to status. Again I assume status is like respect, its earned. Don't matter if the person you are greeting is an illiterate farmer or not.

10 years ago Walking Street was full of American / European / Scandinavian / Australian people. Now it's full of Indian / Arab / Chinese people.

Maybe that is the answer to your question OP.

And one or two Caucasian Africans. Ha! Ha! Ha! But your point taken and I happen to agree. the Arabs you mention mostly just window shopping. They can only buy when they can ditch their travel companions. They'd probably be stoned to death, back home, just for window shopping. Don't you just love Islam or any religion for that matter.

Good friend you are; posting his name and disclosing his private affairs on an internet forum without his permission. If a friend of mine did the same to me, they'd be an ex-friend in double quick time.

If you can identify Fred from Isaan you must be Sherlock Holmes. There must be 100's of Fred's from the UK in Isaan. In addition of the few people, that may just well be able to identify the OP's Fred, you can bet they are already fully aware of his situation. If Fred is his real name. Maybe he's called Dick.

Fred!. In truth a very high percentage of us, are with beautiful Thai women because of money. So mate she may well have and still be cheating on you, but as long as she makes you feel good about yourself, go for it, enjoy!!. You wont be needing any credit cards in heaven. (So I'm told LOL :-) )

Amazing place this Koh Tao - to say the least!

Some Swiss body missing, another body found without ID while another miracle case of two dead youngsters is being pushed around on the desks of Bangkok and London.

One of the unhealthiest/most dangerous places on earth? Possibly not but Koh Tao will make it into the statistics of islands ;-)

I'm certainly not in any hurry to visit the place. Sounds very dangerous. I believe, I know danger, having lived in Africa, where life is cheap, for many years.

how convienent that a piece of wood was nearby.and look at the smirk on the coppers face as he squeezes his arm.

You are seeing things that aren't there, Its not a cop but EMS see the "Rescue" in the badge worn on his shoulder. Secondly that doesn't look like he is squeezing his wrist. That looks more like trying to support the arm while asking the victim to perhaps raise his hand to the opposite shoulder, as he seems to be indicating by doing it himself. Probably checking for movement, as he was trying to diagnose the extent of the injury. The look of what appears to be a grimacing howl of pain was probably experienced while trying to complete the manoeuvre, as asked for by the EMS.

Well I see many people are prepared to offer advice on what to do. However nobody, but one has offered any advice on where he can find a Private Dick to dig into her history and find if she is in fact single and with or without dependents. Most Thai ladies think one boyfriend isn't enough.

These Thai ladies are very attractive, that's why, most of us Farang's have traveled half way around the world to be with them. We don't really want to believe our dearest and sweetest Tiirak could be telling a load of half truth's. When something feels that warm and silky next to you, when you wake up in the morning, its very easy to let the little head do all the thinking. A lot better than that lump of lard, you have woken up with, for the last 20+ years. LOL.

You are right. Its not the loud so much, but a very piercing pitch. One doesn't really get used to it. After a couple of months, really look forward to listening to the radio when the female presenters have less hash tones. I'm frequently asking my partner to try talk softer. You don't want to be in the same room when they are excited. Drills right through from ear to ear.

 

My soon to be wife (this saturday) had good english skills when we met for first time. Her written english was almost flawless but she just lacked a bit of practice when it comes to speak. We have been together 4 years now and we speak mainly english, although I am learning thai slowly and we include more and more thai in our conversations. I am spanish so i could teach my wife and son spanish too but... what for? not a very useful language i think.

 

Spanish is the second-most widely spoken language in the world--ahead of English

 

Yes Mandarin 955 mill, Spanish 405 mill, English 360mil. and Hindi 310mill. But English is the most widely spoken language. Mandarin, Hindi isn't spoken much out side of there native countries. International choice of communication across borders is English. Most of the worlds international business in conducted in English.

I would say English is probably a very important language to learn, albeit Spanish and Mandarin have more speakers.  

I advise riding with flip flops and shorts only.

Cool and good for vitamin D synthesis.

You must be in the medical profession. Running out of patients are we?

Surely this depends on what you can comfortably afford. Almost every town has a wedding planner so getting quotes and some idea of costs shouldn't be difficult.

Regardless. all the best and I hope your marriage will be happy and fruitful.

What is the rough count of Thai sex workers in Betong? Most of their tourist revenue is from sex trade for sure. Are they counting the sex trade money?

Betong may or may not have sex trade during Pretty Yingluck time as PM.

But under Gen Prayuth, anything illegal has been stop.

Including sex trade, as Thailand is a Buddhist countries.

What ever trade the Islamic people offer I will not comment, but Thais will not deviate from Buddhist teaching on sex trade.

BTW, the first thing you notice in Betong is a large statue of Buddha. No statue of prophet Mohammad can be seen anywhere in town AT ALL.

Mr Chotthee you didn't just make that statement did you. Wow!!!! I understand and personally I don't much like religion in general, (There has been to much blood and guts over the centuries in the name of religion and it hasn't slowed down even in the modern world) but to lay the blame on someones faith as a reason for being a sex worker is ridicules. Sex workers are sex workers, mostly because they are from poor and humble back grounds and need somehow to support kids and family. (They have limited choices) It has nothing to do with what religion they are. Very few Muslim girls working in Pattaya.

Why don't the PACC set up a couple of hidden CCTV along Chalong pier road. They can then check to see if any of the local police pop in to each of the beer bars and massage parlours along that strip to collect tea money.

The question is,why do people pay tea money if they have a legal set up ? or am i being naive ?

There are always small things wrong in every single operation even with the best of wills...say lack of a fire extinguisher, or a customer smoking in the bar, a broken tile etc.. that can lead to a fine. The tea money avoids some of this stupidity in the application of the rules. Most people try to have a legal setup, I'm sure.

Tony it sounds like you approve of "Tea Money". Can never be a good thing, as it has absolutely no boundaries. How about applying laws, by-laws and standards, with a little understanding and logical judgement. Yes I agree applying the law with leniency, can also lead to a boundlessness situation. But I do think extorting money, is a bigger gate way to crime and Mafia style conduct and should be nipped in the bud where possible.

another troll thread so that the poor sick bar trollers can pull thai girls down,

 

 

this site just gets funnier,,

 

my mate this my mate that,

 

what did you do OP look in the miror when writing this

 

 

 

Actually Jake I'm enjoying the thread. If we cant laugh at ourselves and the situations some of us get into, who then can we laugh at. Stop being so serious you in LOS.

You have to admit some of the lines working girls use are cliche, but still funny as all else. 

And no we are not putting the girls down. It all depends on the position one takes, I believe most of the contributors are seeing the humor and not the degradation of human beings.

Enjoy or exit your choice.

Can we stop having an orgasm over the terrorist mandella. He bombed many innocent people, promoted violence, was caught with land mines, explosives etc. That is why he was sent to prison. He was offered to be release many times if he renounce violence but he never did. Mandella and his wife Minnie encouraged necklacing, the burning to death with a tire, fellow blacks who opposed the ANC. mandella also sang songs encouraging the killing of white people. Google it if you don’t believe it. His legacy in South Africa is 50% unemployment, One white farming family is killed on average every day- in a very barbaric way. The once prosperous country is now reverting back to the jungle without white guidance and is the murder and rape capitol of the world.

Actually his ex-wifes name is Winnie and its spelt Mandela, and Uncle Nelson never sang songs about killing whites, that was Peter Macabe (spelling) who coined the phrase "one settler, one bullet and in recent time that loonie Jojo has picked up the mantle and believe he has been expelled from the ANC for his rhetoric

Winnies necklacing campaign had nothing to do with the "political struggle" that was more to do with a "turf war" involving the Mandela "football team" her body guards and she should have been convicted for ordering the murder of Stompie Sepe (spelling) but there was nothing political in that, and while that was going on, Mandela himself was in jail effectively in solitary confinement on Robben Island and understand he hadnt had contact with his future EX wife for some years, so he could hardly be encouraging necklacing anyone in Soweto at the time

Mandela never actually bombed anyone, he was trying to bomb power lines and infrastructure when he was caught, one of the "gentleman" who did bomb civilians, "Magoo's bar in Durban" was a guy by the name of Robert McBride, who became an MP and was later done for gun running while a standing MP.

one of the few facts you have got correct, was that yes Mandela was offered freedom on a few occasions if he renounced the arm struggle via "MK" but declined

Yes you are correct on farmer being killed everyday, unemployment figures and the murder rape Captial of the world, but you are attributing things to Mandela in your post that he didnt do

so one suggests you should google things before going off on a diatribe.

please understand I am no supporter of the ANC, and no supporter of what MK was getting up to either, but at the same time, try and get your facts at least close to being right, it seems at lot of your facts you have presented have come out out the AWB handbook...

Soutpeel, your profile pic makes me hungry. I miss the Potjiekos.

I can vouch for Meneer Soutpeel. Dana take a hike.

Just for the record, Nelson Mandela was a terrorist before he became a freedom fighter. There is a very thin line between a terrorist and a freedom fighter.

You've got Mr Mandela's history wrong. He was never a terrorist (Only branded so by the Apartheid regime) He did however become a freedom fighter, blowing up a few transformers and electric pylons, before he became a political prisoner.

He was a gracious forgiving man, unfortunately there are to few of his kind in the world today.

^ what about for the simple reason. He loves her ? And he thinks she is the one? Should he let her slip away? And maybe loose the love of his life?


Sent from my iPad so Please excuse any typos

Now this is constructive.  

Please there are a lot of women out there, who may have a lot in common with yourself, are better looking, richer, smarter, better in bed and all the rest. Qualities that your current partner may not have. So falling in love over and over is easy. God help me I think I love all women.

But there is a little thing called commitment. You cant always have what you want "Grow up". Heh! Heh!  

You ride a bike illegally (in simple western terms).

In your home country this would probabably be treated as a criminal offence.

Your friend does not want you to ride too far to minimize the risk of running into a checkpoint.

Its possible here in the village to do that for years.

But definitely risky in urban areas, highways and so on.

Write that thing off as "learning it the hard way".

Get rid of it ASAP.

I do carry two papers under the seat. I'm told its the insurance. The papers are in Thai, so I cant read them. I'm told if stopped, just to hand the papers to the officer and I wont have any problem. However that has now been modified to; "only ride in your own district".

All in, I don't want to act in an unlawful manner, as I don't believe foreigners are protected equally under Thai law. (Although this could change in our favour soon) Such a pity and a very expensive lesson. (Heh! Heh! just when I thought I was smart enough not to get caught)

What a pity. I was enjoying the bike.

400cc Yammie Dragstar, Good condition, have know idea of its vintage. Any offers anyone. :-) :-)

I bought a bike sometime back. My partner and seller managed to convince me that a "Green Book" wasn't really necessary, so I handed over my cash. For 2 years I have happily operated the bike freely without hindrance.

However now that laws are being enforced more rigidly, my partner suggest I don't ride to far.

Any advice on how I legally go about obtaining a green book, for a bike that hasn't been stolen?

Perhaps all you clever dicks should take a look at this before you prattle out some more inane comments?

So it will be interesting to see a good example up close, guessing it will be at Wing 41 Chiang Mai?

The yanks used Thailand as a major staging post for innumerable air strikes as the dropped their c..p all over Laos and Vietnam, as well as Wattay Noi in Vientiane and Diego Garcia.

That is why it so nice and easy to fly around the Kingdom now - thank you Uncle Sam for all the concrete

Hmmm!!! Seems Uncle Sam's fly boy's weren't so hot after all. Oh! how Hollywood can create differing opinion. Looks like the so called "Gooks" out flew them
