I did two successful applications at Jomtien. First approval took 5 days, recent one (last week) 1 day.

Have you ever cruised (slowly and carefully) through Pattaya at 5 am? If people really are going to work, why don't they leave 10 minutes earlier? I found about 10 percent of all road users in the wee hours to be reckless maniacs; though I'm not saying these two were...

If you think 20 stitches is not enough, fix another 20 on your lips

I hears the parks in Cambodia should be avoided because of random attacks but that is off the scale! Me thinks 20 stitches is not enough

Romeo & Juliet with a drmatic twist of fate???

Success rate is 16.2 percent, simple. Average withdrawal 9,750 Baht per successful attempt. Amateurs!

Works fine for me when I'm sober. Trying to do it at 3 am I usually fail and blame one and all!

KIN RAMEN is obviously a bargain. It's on my shortlist of things to do (drink) at Suwarnabhumi... Cheers!

No helmet? A relly good example for all the motorists out there! Shame no BIB around to "earn" 400 Baht!

And everyone thought they were the Quality Tourists!

The foreign boyfriend will probably be prosecuted for failing to stop at the checkpoint, while the thieves will get off saying they were fleeing a farang madman!

Every day I see on TV that oil prices are lowest in 5 years, yet the report speaks of increase in energy costs. Am I really dumb or what?

Being bored one day, I undertook a mini survey of motorists turning left from a minor road onto a major one (close to Soi Thepprasit and Sukhumvit in South Pattaya). Out of 100 motorists (92 motorbikes and 8 cars) observed over 12 minutes, only 6 cars and 7 motorbikes slowed down and looked right to ensure it was safe to proceed onto the Sukhumvit Rd. Until this figure becomes 100%, people will die, guilty as well as innocent ones.

P.S.: One of the offending motorbikes was a policeman without a helmet! Amen

And even better, have metal detectors installed!

I think it's about time that McD supplies plastic knives (and forks, for that matter), as most paranoid airlines do. Amen.

This is not a Thai thing, or even an Asian thing. Remember the Altamont?

Thais wouldn't do something like that! Perhaps the Myanmar duo could be "persuaded" to take other "incidents" into account? If they cooperate, maybe their lives could be spared, and a humanitarian life sentence imposed?

My mate and his g/f lived together happily for over 2 and a half years. She hardly ever asked for anything, but he loved to buy her this, pay for that... for her and her family. We thought he was way too generous when we found out the cost of "this and that", but he always said when your love is special, it is above money. Last month she told him they must marry immediately as her daughter got a grant for her Masters at a UK university, and she want to be there with her daughter. He pointed out that he no longer had any assets in the UK, they lived on his pension (better than the Government one, but not by much), and that he couldn't afford to rent a house in the UK for 14 months, pay for the living expenses for 3 of them (the grant was tuition only), etc - he estimated it would cost £30K in one go! Fast forward: she moves out the next day, and tells him that her ex English boyfriend from 3 years back agreed to marry her for the famous "marriage of convenience". So much for love. Amen...

They will be found hanged, with their hands tied behind their backs! The latest Thai suicide technique....

Sorry, don't know where to post this question - hopefully someone can answer it or direct me to the right forum. Does a British man intending to marry a Thai have to post a "Notice of no impediment" with the British Embassy?
