I'm staying on soi13

Sure its.not perfect, but it's all part of thailand

But judging by the number of hotels going up there, maybe it would be good, to buy one of those shops opposite the Hyde for a bar in anticipation of the future

In my country, the taxi operator takes up 50% of the meter, what's the arrangement in thailand?

When I catch a taxi from airport to hotel it's normally about 300 to 400 depending on traffic via a meter

Sometimes I try and negotiate to 250-350 with no meter, where most drivers just laugh and act as though you just offered 10 baht

My last trip i offered 350 Inc tolls no meter, to which he refused and did the meter, however the entire.trip.cost 285 so I was surprised he didn't take the 350, assuming the taxi operator gets a cut, it would have profited him a fair bit extra!

Ans If you're not careful you'll be tweeting a photo of your broken arm from hospital!!!!

I'm 35 and still fairly young, I have smartphones but I am starting to feel old and fall behind technology

I've never used instagram, I don't read or do twitter

I still dont know what a pod cast is

I don't use nor understand the latest apps that everyone is talking about

I grew up playing super Nintendo, Sega megadrvie and stopped about PlayStation 1, I tried ps2 ans 3 and found the games all too complicated and too hard.

A computer game that you play online scares me

I hope that in twenty years I'm not going to be like the old guys mocking the youngsters on why they need a smart phone, or data or email via mobile etc

Jeezus, premature senility. I think us older guys need to adopt you as a charity case. First thing we need to teach you is how to play bridge and dominos.

Teach me bridge! I used to play backgammon as a kid, dominoes too

I also don't use instagram or facebook or twitter. Its a choice I use the phone more for work. I have played many computer games online and like it at times.

I also don't do facebook because I feel dumber everutime I read someone's comment on how long they are on the toilet, or how they are having a bad day because there is traffic,

Plus I don't want to become like them, so I stay away

That being said I think it's important to keep an open mind so that you can accept new technologies and at least try it

Years ago I bought an xbox wondering what the hype of halo was, I bought halo one and two

Played it for a few hours and motion sickness from the screen and the 400 buttons on the controller I couldn't hhandle,

Probably played it a total of three hours and haven't touched it since then

Felt pretty old, and I was only in my 20s!!

I am by far the least of an expert on ladyboys, but this one was a ladyboy

Even Stevie Wonder could have seen it

Yrah I tried, but I couldn't lift them!!!!

I visited hua hin for the first time

Sitting at a bar and a pair of lady boys came to try and upsell drinks and their servcies

One was 192cm, the other was 194cm without heels!!!! And with their heels heels would have been well above 200cm!!!!!!

Both were fairly attractive, I assume they've had the chop since they had boobs , voice changes and the rest of the usual

Do they have heightening surgery as well these days!?!?!?!???

I'm no bar expert but walked by this lounge tonight a few times was fairly quiet, but so was the whole street

Quite a neat layout, possibly a bit to sterile for people to be rushing in

But the idea of facing the street was a good one

That's the genius of Steve Jobs and the apple brand, they make you feel like your phone is out of date and you are inferior or outdated if you don't upgrade to the latest asap

Iphones and other smart phones are a tool to facilitate and expediate meaningless consumption.

Why on earth would I pay 25K for a gadget so that I can be lured into wasting my valuable time playing with idiotic aps, facebook, and surfing kitten video clips.

I will stick with my pay as you go sim card and 450 THB dumb phone.

Smart phones are tantamount to wearing a brand name T-shirt with their name plastered on the front. You are paying a premium of your cash to further increase the profits of big business.

Agree with the most part,

However having a smart phone has bettered my life,

I can use googlemaps when I'm.lost

Or when I'm going somewhere (sure I can use an old fashioned map)

I can google something that I need to know eg phone number of a restauarbt I'm running late for

I get emails instantly so if I need to do something it doesn't have to wait until I get home or the next day

I can use apps to check out weather for the day ahead etc etc

So smart phones do have a important role in my eyes,

Obviously one doesn't need to spend 800 on the latest iPhone while their previous iPhone is adequate just because Steve Jobs tells you to

I haven't had millions of Thai gfs so I'm no expert on stats but my current gf, used to be married, when she found her husband was cheating, slashed her throat

So this one at least either followed up on her threat or just simply did it

Has a very noticeable scratch on her neck

That to me indicates mental illness or being rrally really hurt, I'm hoping it's the latter

I am not an eye for an eye guy but they h are on death row because they have taken at least one life most likely in terrible circumstances

That is not true.

Just look at the Joe Dick trial in Florida, or the West Memphis 3. With Damien luckily freed from death row after 18 years.... there are likely thousands of innocent people on death row in America.

I want referring to innocence or not, just referring to the fact that to get on death row, assuming you are guilty, you had to do some pretty horrible stuff, so the agony of waiting for death row shouldn't readout be a big deal

I am not an eye for an eye guy but they h are on death row because they have taken at least one life most likely in terrible circumstances

So the agony in waiting to be executed shouldn't be a factor in them getting a pardon

I doubt any one who humanely murdered a single person would ever get the death penalty eg turning life support off or giving them thesame stuff they use to execute people

I don't get why its so hard to actually find a drug and administer that is going to kill you instantly, there are heaps to choose from

My wife's cooking for a start.

Funny post of the day!

I use my phone a lot for work

Despite my heavy use, I only have a few requirements, great camera, what'sapp, and ease of use for emails, and general reliability

I don't use any apps, or extras

So for me I love android, I give no care for brand or image, I will use a pink hello kitty phone if it works the best

As a result, a cheap smart phone doesn't quite cut it

So I always get the high end ones, however I never get the latest/greatest, if I can save 50%, then I will buy a one generation model older and possibly second hand, or wait until the prices come down

And I wont upgrade until I need to ie the phone dies

Never will I buy any of the phones for 800 in the opening weeks

Yeah interesting points everyone

I was more emphasising relativity, if the ratio to wages to iPhone prices were the same, then that's easy

However, with the prices the same whilst wages considerably lower then that means that they value their phones a lot more then farangs in general

Also in my country, we can essentially get the phone for free by paying it off monthly via a plan eg $65 per month for two years rather then forking out 800 upfront

What's the big deal, it's no different to having an email address!!!

Unless it says something like "signing off, bill the studmuffin of Los"

Maybe someone can explain to me what's the typical deal with phones in thailand???

Buy phone outright and connect or get phone for free but sign up for contract for two years,

Curiosity question, went to Samsung and apple shops, and the had their latest phones for 22-25k baht which is the same as us prices which is fair enough

However

Not sure, I didn't make too much eye contact

But he was about early 30s, on th short side, not skinny or fat but had a chubby young looking face

I've read it before, but can't remember

Where a Arab looking guy comes and asks to see your local currency because he is honey mooning there soon and then wants to see thai baht

Last night, the guy asked to see my local currency and then thai baht, I showed him a 20 baht note and then he insisted I show him a 1000 baht note which I didn't have anyway
