WHAT!!! you all still going on about this!!

I am happy to see that there are some good mathematicians out there!

all your calculations are being destroyed by the day!! the price of oil will be $105 a barrel by the end of the year, so the poor countries people will be paying more.

The cost will increase much more on a % basis, the tax being a major part of the cost in richer countries....so the price at the pump could double in Thailand, but only be 10% more in Uk.

I thought Ireland was the emerald isle?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

see, usual propoganda

don't believe anything you are told!!

Who likes endless girls anyway? Sometimes their end is their best feature.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hahahaha I like that sense of humour!!! you must be English!!?

But why some people here so defensive about bar girls etc. They are just women like any other...maybe their past is more interesting though

My interest was just a simple thing, where did you meet your wife. Not who she is, or did she just want your money...alll that is more down to the type of woman, not her history. In Thailand, unless you are working here, it is quite difficult to meet a woman who is not in the service industries, except by internet or agency.

Whatever, if you meet a woman you love, you and she are lucky!!

asking whether a new airport is needed is a bit academic now!!

we are getting one, so let's hope it is an excellent one

oh dear, sorry Nara, your sarcasm got missed....there should be a smiley face for that

I should have realised anyway, you coming from USA!!!

all the girls said that US guys were the nicest (oh no, no sarcasm intended) but were hopeless in bed

Don't you know?

Thai women prefer  British men.....   

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

oh dear, sorry to disappoint you nara!!

I had a small poll in my local bar, and ALL the girls said that Brit men were the rudest, not nice at all!!

I was surprised too, I always thought the UK men were polite, but the modern version are obviously not.

Just drink too much, are rude and obnoxious, sometimes run away and not pay

mostly young ones are like this...what is that country coming to??

Interesting topic.

Could you post the link to this Pantip forum topic?

Thanks,

The Pantip site is mainly in Thai script, if that's OK for you:

www.pantip.com

a better one - also Thai, I use it a lot when away is:

www.koosangkoosom.com

that is more fun, good topics and all sorts of stuff

very funny, I make mistake when I said "bite the pillow""

you assume that I was.....

bad man. It was just an expression, a metaphor, not what I meant in truth

go and talk to the guests by the pool

have a nice day there

oh yes, in Thailand you can buy "spell check" very cheap too

Oh come on, this is so boring!!

.......

its life, and comparisons are nonsense    

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What sort of hypocritical bulshit is this. Look what you have just said here

and, the service charge is quite cheap compared to other countries, just not hidden in the ticket price!!

In UK they even charge 20 pounds extra tax for going out of the country!! besides the airport tax (service charge)

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes, I am so hypocritical

still nonsense though, just trying to put things in perspective in an ongoing thread, not a thread just comparing prices

but of course, you are correct

The new airport will start with two usable runways.  Don Muang only has one as the military side is too close to use both at the same time.  Don Muang was designed to build a new runway on the West side of airport road but that never happened and in recent years building was allowed to take place there so there was no option for expansion other than to build the new airport.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

as long as the cracks are not too big!!

I hope they build it the best; I am fed up with all these corrupt guys making money from it...go to ###### corruption bastards

anyway, have a nice day

hi,

Where can I buy pepper spray in bangkok?!

Thanxxx.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

any roadside stall cooking chillies....cough, splutter

well, thanks to all, so funny

but really, it is embarrassing to come out in the morning and get weird looks, as if it was not normal...I just cant help it, not my fault

oh well, ust have to bite the pillow

and, the service charge is quite cheap compared to other countries, just not hidden in the ticket price!!

In UK they even charge 20 pounds extra tax for going out of the country!! besides the airport tax (service charge)

I think it was getting impossible to expand the DM airport any more. New runways, longer runways, new terminals etc. so a new location out of town was thought the better option. No more jets landing above housing complexes, noise pollution less.

They will continue using DM for cargo transport and some holiday (charter) flights though.

It will be nice to have a new and, hopefully, efficient, airport. Judging by KL, after the awful teething problems, the ride into town by rail is very nice, no traffic problems. Then can connect to other transport, like underground or skytrain.

be happy, stop whingeing

Oh come on, this is so boring!!

cost of things in one country compared to others, means nothing.

the governments just make the cost as much as the public will bear!! until a riot starts, then they reduce back a little.

even in UK they have pig demo against price last year

in Indonesia have a riot or two when the gov wanted to put price up

its life, and comparisons are nonsense

ooops, I reply to wrong message last time, sorry!

but anyway, it is true a lot of farang think they are the best.....and why not? they come to Thailand, lots of girls, for whatever reason, want them, go to bed with them easy etc.

people respect them everywhere, they get lots of attention...make them big-headed. they seem very rich here, maybe not back home but hey!!

Then they can look down on Thais, if they are inclined, and feel superior.

but I am sure they are not all like that, at least the nice, sensible mature ones.

Farang guy wont beat you to a pulp when he gets drunk    (well maybe farang france)

  ( I see on my soi mak mak)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hey Bambina, I think you are being cheeky!!

poor farang guys, will get even more big-headed now

Thanks for your reply, Raro

I have to apply for a one year visa extension each year.

Immigration give me VIP treatment and I give them an envelope containing money.  Am I tipping or bribing  ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hahahaha. you are expediting your visa!!

my hubbie was called by the police when he wanted a visa; they asked outright for "cigarette money" to make sure there were no delays....a form of blackmail really.

Don Muang is near capacity, and too close to the city. Too many jams to get there also.

I think they want to make the new airport a regional hub. This would bring in big money!! Also they want to expand the regions flights, so extra runways are a good thing for that. It will be easier to expand the new airport, unlike DM.

watch out, you will have people screaming about fashion police again!!

they want to dress ugly, so why not let them

get no respect and poor service, never mind

Its a sun thing

If you are very dark your work in the fields thus poor and lowclass.

If white...pampered,wealthy,etc etc

Same in China

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Perhaps, but it's more than that. How about the underarm deodorant that "whitens" or the cream designed to turn nipples pink? You don't get white underarms or pink nipples by staying out of the sun.

In my opinion it's a racist thing.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's nothing to do with race!! it is just fashion and perception. The same race people can be white or brown, it just depends on your pigmentation!!

when I have been to the beach and return home, everyone says, you so black, why? I say that I have been having a nice time.

my hubbie likes my colour, and would not contemplate me whitening my skin. I have become happy with myself because of him, I never want to be whiter now.

I dont need makeup, I can wear nice colour clothes...who wants to look like a ghost??

Really though Siam one, why do you need to know?  Are you making comparisons to yourself or what 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

well, we live in a wooden house, and every noise can be heard (we can hear some neighbours)

I just wonder how you deal with it, as I cannot stop some noise!1

and no, not snoring!!

OK you farang boys, this is a need to know topic!!

are your g/f or wives noisy in bed??

do you have problems with the neighbours, and what would you do if you had??

omigod, so embarrassing!!
