  1. Wasting money for me would be something like this.

    Going out partying,disco,karaoke instead of going to work, knowing full well that the rent needs to be paid in two days time (even if it's only 3000 baht a month ) then complaining and running around to friends trying to borrow the money for the rent that was spent partying,disco,karaoke.

    I suppose some would say it's not wasted money as the time spent partying,disco,karaoke etc was fun.

    The key point is I have 3000 baht in my pocket that is all I have left this month. should I spend it on one nights intertainment or on keeping a roof over my head for the next month.

  2. These are the stupid ones. There are quite a few smart ones who save a lot of money, start businesses and go on to be quite sucessful. Don't kid yourself.
    I am not kidding myself :o I know they aren't all stupid and even the "stupid" ones are cunning and resourceful, they just can't think beyond the next meal.
    wasting money on drinking and gambling is not unique to some Thai Bargirls is it?

    Does sound like a trick question to me :D however I would agree that wasting money is not unique to Thai bargirls,we have all wasted money at some time or other.

    I have a TT&T line and use have been using the Hi-Net service for more than a month now it's quite reliable.

    There where a few outages at first but it seems to have settled down now , the speed is unpredictable normally about 500 Kbps

    (not the 2000 Kbps they advertise) I think the highest I have had so far is about 1300 Kbps anyway compared to dailup its like I died and went to heaven. :o

  4. I had my bicycle stolen too, from the Wat Chaimonkon market in Pattaya

    lucky it was only 799 baht from Big C. but is still peed me off.

    I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like,

    It's got a basket, a bell, and things to make it look good,

    I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

    :o

    Plachon: Was it Pink Floyd or Blind Faith who sung that song ? I can't remember.

    My girlfriend, is applying for visa in a few days, Tourist visa.

    She has no regular income (apart from me) as i told her to pack her job in (shop) and go home

    Why did you tell her to stop working ???????????????? that's what I asked you three months ago :o
    a : craft a situation that gives off the "impression" you have reason to return

    I hear there are companys that will write a letter of "employment" for a small fee :D

    that would give her more of a reason (in the embassy's eyes) to return to Thailand.

    Enroll as a student sounds like a good idea too.

  6. Well I'm sorry to say that I have made my girlfriend "loose face" quite a few times now, mostly by telling her that she is wrong about something in front of her friends or even worse in front of her customers !!

    I try to keep calm but can't allways contain myself :D it's still a strange concept to me the "face" thing, but I am slowly learning to say things in a roundabout sort of way instead of directly.

    The worse consequence so far has been that I didn't get laid that night, we make up in the morning....usually :o

    I'm sure if I upset the wrong person the consequences would be much worse than that :D

  7. well it didn't last long I'm not so pleased with it now.......
