May their prayers be answered and let it pour from above

" Amen " and " Sartoo " to that.

The water comming out of my tap today looks like they pumped it straight out of a muddy puddle ( in fact that's exactly where it came from ) put me off having a shower this morning...but did in the end

As it happens there is a Babtist church in Pattaya.....and

they also offer English classes,in return for a small donation...

I'm told the Church is on 3rd road near to the fishing park...someone here on the forum will know exactly where it is...

Well you could try the new higher speed EDGE tecnology...DTAC have a service that ( seems to from their map ) cover most of central Bangkok..

Sorry I can't say how well it works or advise on prices etc etc...I've never used it !!!!

DTAC have a website ( all in Thai ) http://www.dtac.co.th/edge/edgeindex.html

Also found a list of WiFi hotspots in Bangkok

There was a big thunderstorm this morning in the Pattaya area...lots of torential rain too...but doubt if it helped the water shortage one bit.

Sounds like the sort of thing the Thais do ( put up signs along the road )when there is a temple fair on...don't know if the messages on them rhyme though..

If there is a real demand for a race track, why not set up a proper track in an isolated and controlled area, away from residences

including making sure that users are of legal age to ride and are not operating illegally modified machines

Errm well uhhmm, that kinda doesn't make it very attractive to the sorts of poeple that you want to keep from racing on the roads in the first place...

I'm guessing ( because I'm not a road racer ) but I think it would be a very hard task to lure these sort of poeple to a race track...it's just not the same.

There needs to be some very good incentives for them to switch

The water situation here in Pattaya just gets worse and worse..

The reservoir is now completely dry !!!

So where does the water that ( sometimes ) comes out of the tap come from ???

Its easy to see how dirty it is...just by filling a light colored bucket and leaving it to settle for a while.....

It's been suggested that they are supplying treated sewage...if so can't they get it a bit cleaner first ?

The other day I saw a documentary on teenage pregnancy in the UK and if I remember correctly the country was doing a lot worse than other neighbouring countries in Europe.

Yes that's because untill quite recently England had the same sort of attitude to teanage sex..as Thailand still (seems) to still cling to..

Where as in other European counties where it's openly talked about and there is education in school the problem seems to be under controll.

BTW the actuall problem is underage pregnancy..... ( and AIDS STD's ) not the fact that teenagers have sex ( they will do that whatever happens...it's nature )

Maybe (easiset way ) you could find a hotel that offers internet service in it's rooms.

Failing that your could use a GPRS phone, but I don't think you would like to ( to slow )

Yes exactly my point .... where is the J sound ??

จ ฉ ช ฌ = ch ....huh ???

And so ,this evening on Pattaya poeple news they had a report on the new bus service aparently launched today...minimum fare 30 baht..too expensive for the average Thai... and what will the songteaw mafia think of it ? last time it ended in murder of one of the bus drivers !!!

It's just like those anti drug adverts...

Just say NO....

If a bank won't lend the money then why should you ???

Take the "Bridge over the River Kwai" this is now mispronounced the world over because it was written as "Kwae", not "Kwair". If you asked most english speaking people to pronounce "Kwair" they are more likely to pronounce it nearly correctly than when reading "Kwae". Now most farang seem to have the idea that there is a river called the Buffalo river and it has a famous bridge over it.

As far as I know the Buffalo river does not exist.

Loong you are so correct about the river Kwai...I myself thought for a long time that it ment the bridge over buffalo river..why ?? because it was allways spelled (transliterated ) wrongly ( into English ) so that it sounds like Kwai...buffalo..

And they have made a film about it ...called " The bridge over the river Kwai "

In fact I had a bit of an arguement with my girlfriend over the correct name and wouldn't except that it wasn't buffalo river, untill she found the correct spelling in Thai from a website and showed it to me,where apon I instantly lost face and went to cry in the corner for half an hour.

Even the official transliteration systen doesn't work properly..just look at many Thais names as writen in their passport..for example my girlfriends name is Juntana but the passport office insisted that it has to be spelled Chantana ????

it's quite clearly จ ( jor jarn ) not ฉ (chor charn ) but they would not change it for her...it's writen in stone that it must be spelled like that even though most English speakers reading the name spelled as such would pronounce it incorectly.

So it's best not to depend apon transliteration, there's no set standard and even the "official" one doesn't work a lot of the time.

They regularly close off roads so that the "bigwigs" can race around in their Mercedes... don't they ??

Why not do it for a few common folk ?

the cow has broken a leg and can not produce any milk for his mothers 7 other children.

daddy has fallen of his office chair and has a severe laceration requiring several band aids

A typical lame Thai excuse if ever there was one.

his sister who has 4 kids has been abandoned by her husband and wants to move back with mum and dad, so will have to buy a bigger house.

Now that one might just work

Cdnvic :

Maybe ( future ? ) father in law should learn the saying "never count your chickens before they are hatched "

So it's agreed then that the "price" is far too high..

But he still needs a good excuse for not buying the truck and saving (future) father in laws face... sorry I can't think of a good excuse hope someone can.

Ahh but they have done the research.. however I often wonder if the research is aimed at making players that won't play "backup" discs instead of trying to improve compatibility !!! , thus shooting themself's in the foot ,who wants to buy a player that can only play half their DVD collection...when the one from China is not only cheaper but can play everything ....doh

AVG free edition for me too....but don't forget the other important things like updating your OS using programs like spybot, adaware and most importantly using a firewall !!!!!

You can also stop lots of nasties by using a host file to stop intentional or accidental browsing to "bad" sites.

Maybe George misunderstood the question.....

The certificate you need to get is a the one from the local imigration office...stating exactly where you live in Thailand ie: your home address..

Getting permanent residence is a bit more difficult.

Or so I'm told, as I haven't tried to get either document myself

Here' s my results.

Pretty Messy

You scored 62% Dirtiness!

You scored higher than 21% on Dirtiness

i always use blade for remove balls

Yikes, that's a bit too hardcore for me !!!! I don't think I'll take up your offer now.

next time i will give u a razor... so u just have only SMILE

5555 BambinA are you offering to shave my ............ wow can't wait

A phrase I heard for being broke...no money.

is " leur tair moi gub roy yim " เหลือแต่ ม่วยกับรอยยิ้ม

All I've got left is my pubic hair and my smile

They usually refer to pubic hair as "Khon Phet" in the news when it's a forensic investigation ( crime scene )

Best just to be rid of it alltogether IMHO

she says: everybody in my village laugh at me because they think i have farang with no money.

would it be because she told them so ???

stay for what with falan if you don't have nothing??..

That sound really quite racist to me...why would it be any "worse" to be with a poor farung than a poor Thai ???

one day him left you and what you will do

Yesh, well one day she might actully learn how to fend for herself

that's assuming she doesn't find a more " Jai dee" man and leave first....

Thaipwriter..please don't be pressured into signing away your rights..it's your money and you're entitled to do with it as you please...the louder she complains about having nothing to show for being with you,to me just goes to shows what her real intentions behind the relationship are.
