I have a 13 month bull calf, born and raised on my property. Just recently, within the last two weeks I have had offers from Thai people which varies between 18,000 and 24,000 baht.

Briffault's Law in action, seems it applies to dogs, as well as men.

Refers to animal to animal not animal to human.

It would seem you missed the point !

Briffaults Law --- It is important to understood if a woman is receiving no continued flow of benefit, attention, resources from a man…. he ceases to exist to her. A man may be in a personal relationship with a woman, where she may have lived with (or “loved”) him under the presumption that it is his inherent personhood which mattered to her.

It didn’t.

The “relationship” only exists for as long as he provides a benefit and fills a specific or useful purpose. When that benefit is no longer provided by the male, no relationship (not even a civil or friendly one) takes place. This is why it’s possible to live with a woman for years with whom he may think he is “investing” his time and dedication, and once the benefit is no longer provided – or desired, because she found a suitable replacement – she will completely detach herself as if no association ever existed.

Thank you all for your replies. I still need to find a nice quiet,no hassle beach, not too far South as I live in Isan.

Aptly named Roland, As usual there is always someone available to denigrate others. I asked for advice re public holidays, not your views on drinking alcohol whoie on a week's holiday, Your commenthas been binned.

At the start of May the holidays are for "Labour day and Royal plowing" these are just public holidays, so nothing to do with Buddhism. The 20th of May is a Buddhist holiday though.

What about Coronation day on 5th May?

There appear to be a number of public holidays during the first week in May. Can anyone advise whether any or all are booze free days. I am planning a beach & booze holiday and booze free days are definitely NOT on the agenda.

HELP

What geographical areas are covered by the various Regions. Perhaps this is off topic but it would be helpful to know.

Has anyone got a Curry Leaf plant? Or do you know of any outlet selling these plants.

I am trying to get a cutting or sapling to grow in my garden. Not far from Prasat, Suin province.

It is a Hoopoe (Upupa epops). I see a pair most mornings in my garden. sometimes as many as 5 digging underground for their prey. As they leave an area the Fantails arrive.

is anyone living in Surin or buriram province growing this plant and if so would they be willing to supply (give/purchase) a cutting?

I guess all they really need to do is replace any umbrellas and signs with beer brands on them. Although until they do I think we as foreigners should set the example, respect the culture and raise the bar. Because that is where we will all be drinking if they shut the beer gardens down.

Good point. I really enjoyed my time in Kuwait (where all booze is banned), as me & every one of my buddies had a bar at our own houses.

We'd do the round robin, with one of the 8-12 of us hosting a party at least once a week.

Side Note...we all had either a Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean or Filipina wife as well, so the eye candy was always nice too!

The eye candy is always better after a beer or two.

Kap Cheong;

Yes, I also went to Kap Cheong. I have had my home visit by two immigration officers. They wanted two independent witnesses they must not be related to GF. They have to sign some documents, cash is also the additional incentive. I have to report back on 26th Oct.

Unlike in the US, here in Thailand We don't get to hear of execution, how and when they were carried out,

good change that his fellow life will be spared and his death sentence will be commuted to life in jail,

few pardons later, 1/3 off for good behavior and he's out in 15-20 years. so yeah, don't sell

your belonging yet fella, This is Thailand and you're in with a good chance to live to a good. ripe

old age....

BS. Stop airing your prejudices when a person's life is at stake. You do not know the full facts of the case so please keep your biased views to yourself.

The Public Health Ministry should have initiated this project not the University which in turn should have been asked by the Ministry for support. Not the other way round! Just where do responsibilities start and end with the various Ministries?

I seem to have read somewhere that some mobile service operators are offering a special 30 day sim card for arriving tourists at Suvarnabhumi. Can anyone clarify?

Ubonjoe, Thanks for the reply.

Pak Cheong Immigration, with whom I have been renewing my Retirement Visa since 2007 and again when they re-opened the office a few years ago have advised that my application is under consideration and I can expect a visit from Immigration Officers at my home. I must then show them my Thai Bank book and report back to the Immigration office on 26th October when I will be told if my application for another year has been accepted.

I produced the Affirmation of Income letter from the Embassy and the original pension providers annual letters advising me of their monthly payments, These documents were used by the Embassy to provide the Affirmation Letter. This income has always been well above the minimum requirement of 850,000 baht and I have never been asked to provide a local bank book. When I advised them that there was very little money in the Thai bank their response was, "Just need Bank Book. Please make copy for officer when visit."

I was told that the Immigration Officers when visiting will be seeking the opinion of neighbors as to my character and conduct. These responses will be used to decide whether I will finally be granted a visa.

What appeals procedures exist in the event that some local decides to have a go. I can think of several persons who may feel they could get their hands on my property through making it impossible for my GF to stay in it should I be forced to repatriate.

.

Is this change being applied nationwide?

Waiting for the English translation of this gibberish.

Ok, the man is a bilionner planning soon to fly the Thailand Australia routs, has 3 beauty clubs in Bkk and 2 radio

stations and this is just the beginning, as Branson known to be the fox in the hen house attitude

when it come to business savvy....the more the better I say,,

?

What happens when the fox sees a load of Fighting Thai Cockerels instead of hens?

I have just received my letter, and it came by return of post. Excellent service.

I have been applying and receiving my affirmation letter by post from the Embassy for the last six years. The only thing that has altered each year is the fee the embassy charge. Otherwise an excellent service by both the embassy and Royal Thai Mail.

Meteor?

It was an escape pod from an Alien starship.

Catch the Alien and demand ransom

But the 3 million baht has already been paid.

Has a fuller account of this journey been penned anywhere? For instance:-

What type of vehicle? Was it petrol or diesel. Octane levels can vary as can availability?

What travel documents were necessary, Visas, vehicle insurance etc.?

What time of year was the journey made?

How many stops, where?

Travel overnight or only during daylight hours?

Was camping equipment necessary?

If the vehicle was registered in India how long can it remain in Thailand before it has to return before Import Duty etc has to be undertaken in Thailand.

I am wondering if it would be worth bringing a Range Rover via this route?

Why am I being warned about Thaivisa security certificate revocation and being advised not to use the site?

Sounds fair enough to me

Why should she get special treatment? That's the way the judicial system operates in Thailand. There's no pretrial discovery. The parties just show up with their own documents and that's what goes into evidence. She has grounds for appeal when they reform their pretrial discovery, civil and criminal procedure codes. She can wait, but those reforms will probably never come. Its an antiquated justice system - just look at the B2 trial.

Sorry about lack of background info. What was the B2 trial?
