I'd pick a good wife over friends any day. Friends come and go.

Seems your mind is already made up. Ok, go ahead and ditch your wife. And hang out with the friends.

Bye..

The Australian government should learn (from Thailand) to simply mind it's own business.

No, you are not a troll.

A troll thinks "Thailand" is "a shop in London that sells ties". A troll is a complete stranger that likes to argue with you about your age (or something else that they "know more about" than you). A troll makes the most ridiculous claims, backed up by Wikipedia of course. A troll....

We trust Ted is ok, but how is Allan? He tried to fill your boots so hard in your absence, and seems a real gentleman. Big boots to fill. Regards...

The first time I encountered this "Thai lack of spatial awareness" thing was...

Years ago my wife (Thai) and I were desperate to get to the bank before closing time (in Bkk Chinatown), we simply had to get there with 5 minutes to spare.

So; 30 metres from the bank front door there were 2 elderly gents blocking the footpath, having a good old chat. Facing each other across the footpath, with total inconsideration to the fact that no-one could get by without walking on the road in full traffic. Everyone was just standing there waiting for them to finish their leisurely chat. They had no idea.

Yes, it is common..

I know a joke about a tie but would be in deep doo doo if I told you here.............

You have 27000 posts more than me, and we are at the TVF pub....

Pleeeeeease...

Sipi, you naughty boy............smack, smack.

Oh, sorry Costas...

An Australian, an American, an Englishman, and a Greek walked up to a pub...

This is Thailand. Buy a "king-set" and wrap it around your queen mattress.

Goodnight....

Oh come on Dear. There are some on this forum that will sell their soul to help, if required, I am one of them.

But....

Long yawn.........................................

The bouncer says "Sorry Gents, you can't come in without a Thai"

Old, but still funny..

Very welcome Winter, after what I thought was an unbearable hot/ wet season.

Hey David. Here is my wifes "Welcome to Australia". Her first time on a plane, and first time in another country.

We flew into Sydney Kingsford Smith International airport, 2006. We caught the train to the domestic terminal. On the the train we sat next to each other with few seats remaining. Down the aisle came a heavily tattooed gent, with arms as big as my chest. The only vacant seats were opposite Mrs Sipi and I, where he made himself comfortable..

My wife, having been in Australia for maybe 30 minutes looked at him, pointed to his tattoos, and said "Nice cartoons"

Oh shit, I nearly died on the spot.

His reply, with a smile..."Thank you Dear"

And it only got better from there..

Welcome "Down-under"!

Brass... It'll be fine. Just pack it and put it on your shrine when you get home.

How to avoid looking at the hollow end of a revolver. Don't do this.

Have eaten at the Irish Clock many times. This guy has got balls !!

Hard to tell, looks like the Thai guy was brandishing some zip gun?

As long as the guy was going to hit the Thai robber, he should have

finished the job by knocking him out. As the video went on, I kept

waiting for the farang to be shot off of his bike by the Thai guy...

Thai robber? It's a kid trying to sell him flowers, no?

Yes. "Him" as in fat cranky falang??

I have been to the Irish Clock many a time. The "Thai Robber" wasn't a robber, just an annoying 10 year old kid. Seems the Farang had a bad day. Maybe it was hot, he was pissed, someone short-changed him 5 baht....No excuse to thump a kid. The cops are still looking for him (a fat bald cranky farang), well that narrows it down.

What material is it made from? My suggestion is to shove it in your backpack/ suitcase and head home. My "shrine" has all sorts of sh.t from all sorts of places. Too many to mention here.

The absolute best thing to arm yourself with is self defence skills. Find a good Krav Maga school, simple, effective and easy to learn with the added benefit of getting some good exerecise.

Yes. Krav Maga. After multiple sessions you will have the skills to defend yourself. It is bad-ass stuff but it is meant to be. There is a guy here who teaches it. Really nice. PM me and I'll send details

Do you know how many Thais carry a revolver?

Rural. We are 1 hour South of Bueng Kan, and 4 hours from Udon Thani at the end of a corrugated dirt road. Suits me just fine.

Don't bring a knife into a gun fight. Let alone a walking stick.

Sad story but not specifically Thai. Happens the world over.
