  1. dont go Bob! I use your posts to stop my son from getting into the booze. "this is what you write after drink son. Keep sensible"
  2. my Dad did this with scammers. It was like sport for him. we get a lot of scammers calling. I hang up, as does my son. My wife plays a bit, a fews ago, telling whoever on the end of the line that she wanted her bag of drugs and if she was going to pay a fine, send her the drugs first.
  3. as an aside, that's exactly the same method i employ when I try to speak Thai and they dont understand me.
  4. more like "basking in the haze of smoke and exhaust fumes" recently
  5. Maybe it's you Bob. We seem to be living in the same country but also in "opposite" land. I get nothing but smiles when I spek Thai. Maybe you need to get out of Pattaya! I love your stories though. 🙂
  6. my boss needs my wife s ID card number. We get some tax returns due to being married and having a kid. Comes to about 16000 bt a year.
  7. Peace in the valley , tomorrow, but tonight .............................
  8. i have more Thai than foreign friends. in all your 30 years here, you cant have known many folk.
  9. i finish work at 6pm. Then Im on the same. Me, the weekend alky!!
  10. a bit harsh to be calling it trash - there is entertainment value at the very least
  11. simples - learn a little Thai and talk to folk. Even giving the appearance of trying to fit in goes a long way.
  12. Everyone’s different and so it goes with countries as well. I think what’s happened to the Swiss guy in Phuket is a bit over the top – not to make any excuse for his behaviour – and the Swiss guy in Trang deserves all he gets, but it’s not like he is a victim here. We all know the score here and, as guests, can’t really complain when things like this happen. As people say, if you don’t like it …… Besides, how many of us westerners would like to see our respective nations’ authorities to be a bit more hardline wih foreigners who misbehave.
