Rajab, if it helps, JD Pharmacy near Soi Diamond on the second rd has what you are looking for.

My concern was always how it was stored and transported to get there, and it's expensive. You may want to consider importing direct.

Hope this helps.

This thread gets more amusing the longer it goes on. I'm not human so I have no need for it!

My bad. My post was meant for the OP.

And jbrain is correct, a lot of fake stuff...probably more chance of fake or spoilt GH that real.

Before offering any definitive advice can I take it that your nationality is Acromegalian ?

If you are going to use big words you should know the meaning so you don't sound like a total idiot... Acromegalian in NOT a nationality. Acromegalia is a medical condition.

So, I don't know if you were trying to impress people, be a smart ass or what, but you came off as a total idiot.

The fact that you thought that I thought that Acromegaly was a nationality raises a questions not just about your intelligence but also our sense of humor !.

Too funny.

The sell them at Jatujak market. I would assume not legal. Did not ask prices.

I considered buying a couple when I built my pond.

But I was concerned how big they would grow and if one day my dog would disappear.

Day two I work out, so muay thai and then go out to the bars.

If I wasn't in school, I'd be skateboarding at Esplanade

Anyone I met who admitted to either of these two hobbies, I would go out of my way to avoid, they are usually aggressive and looking for trouble. It may not be true, but it would be a reason to avoid you, and I'm guessing many other people think the same way as me.

You know you are talking about 2 different people right?

One is a real person.

The other was advice for that 18 year old person to get him out of the bars.

But thanks the insight into your paranoia.

I know of a bridge that needs repainting. However the artisan needs to be of short stature, ugly with long hair and a Scandinavian accent.

I concur with your assessment.

dam_n boy, you trying to hard.

You are an 18yo, pretty boy, boxer...according to you.

Hanging out in random bars with crusty old guys is no way to spend time in your new city.

18 and finished school limits your future - go back to school - thats where all the other 18 year olds are at.

What secondary english options are there near bangkok? And im not trying hard, at all. You obviously dont like who i am which i retort in saying dont message in my threads.

Your funny, kid.

If I was 18, I wouldn't be asking a bunch of random Internet guys how to make friends. I'd be out making them.

If I wasn't in school, I'd be skateboarding at Esplanade, dancing at RCA, playing some team sports, learning Thai, exploring the city, taking photographs...all while wearing my baseball cap backwards and wearing my Dr Dre headphones...because that's what 18 year olds do.

...actually, thats pretty much what I do now.

I don't smoke. But, I'm thinking about starting.

Seriously, you think she is hot?

Looks pretty old and beat to me.

I was being facetious

Ok.

For a moment there I wondered if my radar was malfunctioning

It is good to know it is still calibrated.

So, it's 3am.

A taxi driver with his lights of waiting in the dark.

Just happens to have a woman that is going to exactly the same place.

And she says that she will pay.

Yeah, this coincidence and act of random kindness by a Thai woman and a decent taxi driver at 3am sounds completely legitimate.

This doesn't look at all suspicious.

The timing of this press release is rather timely.

To issue it when Sukhothai is underwater and the ancient city of Ayutthaya is threatened, is somewhat amusing.

Perhaps it should have been issued 6 months ago. Clowns.

Where is GK?

I am always amused at his misplaced support for "the Peoples Prime Minister" and his puppet.

Some things in Thailand you just have to accept. This is one of them.

Tuk Tuk drivers are poorly educated and greedy. They will never understand the logic or allow 1 Driver to make 1000baht, when 10 Drivers could make 500 baht = 5000baht. The metered taxis and black taxis that have been beaten and killed and the bus drivers that attempted a Patong - Karon route are all testimony to the fact that the Tuk Tuk tribe will never let it happen.

The failure of your logic is that the Tuk Tuk Drivers could care less if another Farang dies tonight on a motorcycle and the Police and Government, for whatever reason, are powerless or unmotivated to do anything about it.

I applaud your wishful thinking, but thats all it is.

So why don't you start a baht bus service if it's such a good idea?

It would be a great commercial success, trouble is that the local tuktuk mafia would beat the drivers to a pulp. The beating of the first and only bus service between Patong and Karon a few years back is well documented in the Phuket Gazette.

No, 03.40 AM it would not be a great commercial succes. Never going to happen that time of night.

A Pattaya-Phuket comparison is simply impossible because of the different geographic conditions on both places.

I'm with Steven on this.

Phuket Baht Bus will never happen. I'm guessing that the average ride on a Pattaya Baht Bus is a few km, or maybe over the hill to Jomtien. Phuket is much more spread out so the concept doesn't work. And to have buses waiting like in Pattaya or 5 minutes apart would not be practical or economically feasible, especially at 3.40am.

Then add to that the tuk tuk mafia that control Phuket's transport system that the local Government has been able to control. Won't work.

Tourists are going to die on the roads. That's just the way it is and will be in Phuket for the foreseeable future. I'm surprised incidents like this even make the news anymore.

Drunk, no helmets, unknown roads and 3.40am...and IQ test at the airport would be more effective.

BTW, who pays for the motorbike repair when the rider dies?

If you're in Chiang Mai, just don't use the guy with a "lighthouse" in his logo!

I know the guy you speak of. I don't use him, but I am interested in your experience.

What happened?

If you really want to piss them off.

When a taxi stops make sure you open the rear passenger side door and tell him where you want to go. If he refuses, just leave it ajar and walk away.

Never fails to get the desired response.

This thread was doomed for the OP from the start.

One is allowed to tend to his own garden, particularly if it is a hobby.

However, having a non native grass is foolish. Best to go with local vegetation and to consider the benefits of rock gardens.

I love gardening...I could watch my staff do it all day.

Do you have uniforms for your staff? I find that many foreigners do not appreciate that groundskeepers must be suitably attired in proper work pants and shirts. Allowing these men to work in the typical state of undress, particularly when shirtless, can only lead to trouble for many foreigners. They will have no one to blame but themselves when their young wives leave them or have affairs with handsome viirile Thai men. A young woman looking out her window may see one of those muscled men working in the sun, the light bouncing off a taut pec glistening with sweat, be overcome with lust and allow her emotions to run wild, inviting the lansdscaper up to her boudoire where they would engage in amorous activity. This is why the staff must be suitably attired. Better yet, only hire kathoeys.

I find that keeping my fantasies to myself usually works out better in the long run...

You could also consider the Madrid protocol for wider (but weaker) European trademark protection.

But expect to spend some money on decent trademark lawyers...

From what I've read the Mardrid protocol includes the US and EU, along with dozens of other countries. Our company is small, however we sell worldwide so some protection is necessary. Any idea where one would find lawyers who could handle this and a guesstimate of their fees?

Mixed, I have always used US based Trademark lawyers who secure US trademark and then handle the European filing secondary through their affiliates.

If we have had trademark issues in Europe we have generally used specialist trademark lawyers in Spain, so that's where I would look.

I'd pay it and sleep better.

It's a tough one. Does being done without lube by another bloke make one sleep better.

You don't read so good.

I said "unless you are very confident you can defend your case with clear proof, I'd pay it and sleep better". If you had any knowledge of the Thai legal system and how it works, perhaps you would understand my statement.

What makes you think he doesn't owe the said money and that the marina owner is screwing him?

What's to say the OP just doesn't want to pay what he considers exorbitant fees?

You must be one of those forever "hard done by Thai's" guys that frequent this forum.

Seems you're one of the oh-serious-guys who cannot spot or handle some word play.

Thanks for all that effort though, it's quite amusing.

My pleasure.

You word play must be over my head.

I just see a guy who was called out for being slow who was trying to be smart@ss and it failed.

However you structure your company you are only allowed to own 49% of it. That means that it is possible for the 51% to collectively outvote you. You know this. You understand this.

What is it about this maths that you don't understand?

Yoshiwara, actually this can be averted with giving the Foreign shareholders "Preferred shares" - which could give them preferential voting rights (up to 10:1) over "Ordinary" (the Thai nominees). So the nominees could be watered down to 5.1% of the vote.

This allows Foreigners to have control over any company they invest in.

Many people don't understand Thai company law and have Thai (or Farang) lawyers that know only the very basics, or are deliberately giving Thai control.

Thai company law works and is effective if setup and maintained correctly.

Of course, allowing your lawyers wife to be Director and majority shareholder with no pre-signed resignation and share transfer forms kind of negates that.

Sunbelt are not quite correct.

Firstly, I would recommend filing for US trademark. The US trademark has the most credibility worldwide but still only protects your mark in the US, although many people can be "fooled" with a US trademark elsewhere in the world...but a good lawyer will check.

Secondly, I would file for a European trademark via a Community trademark that covers the EU member states. It's the easiest way to get wide EU coverage. You could also consider the Madrid protocol for wider (but weaker) European trademark protection.

But expect to spend some money on decent trademark lawyers...

I would ignore the rest go the world as too hard.
