Do you ever get any negativity from the locals when you attempt to speak Thai?
probably - I dont live in Pattaya. :) I remember walking into a 7 11 near my home and the look of terror on the poor young lady serving at the prospect of having to deal with a farang turned, disarmingly, into a smile when i asked for cigarettes in Thai. I think a lot of thai folk appreciate any effort to speak Thai by foriegners. I am nowhere near fluent by the way. I speak just the bare minimum to get by.

Just watching Tina Turner ... and Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers .. they were brilliant
I think I read somewhere that his manager couldnt travel as he had no passport. Wasnt he Dutch?? I believe he was scared he wouldnt be allowed back into the US. I think Elvis only ever travelled to germany for military service and the occassional hop over to Hawaii. strange, seeing as he was the biggest star in the world.

enjoy man!!- New passaport while in overstay
I don’t know about any other nations but for UK passports, you need to apply independent of the British Embassy. There is a process whereby you go to Trendy Building on Soi 13 in Bangkok. Long time ago, I was on overstay (1 year), I applied, received and then went to the airport with my 20 000 bt and paid the fine. This was before the blacklisting that occurs now so I could return almost immediately. It is only Thai Immigration that care about the overstay. It shouldn’t stop you applying for a new passport.- Cultural Variables creating problems for westerner/Thai raising a baby
yep - my son was taken to an uncles funeral when he was 12. i had always forbidden him to ride motorbikes - at least untill he was 15 / 16 but his Mother proudly sent me vdos of him bombing around the temple grounds - without a helmet - on his cousin's honda Wave. That led to an argument. My in laws thought i was being massively overprotective. He s 16 now and im the only one in the family that enforces a helmet.

- Do you put up the Christmas lights ?
nope - but the girls in the office have started with the decorations and wearing fake reindeer antlers already. I dont think they understand my cynicism. There s also a healthy amount of Christmas decorations still up from last year. Dont care too much for it all , neither does Mrs Nik.- Thaksin’s Medical Expenses At Police Hospital Entirely Covered By Taxpayers’ Money
Well, he did postpone his homecoming claiming he was in need of a health check up. If he was so seriously ill, maybe he shouldnt've flown.- Invited to Loy Kratong. Does it Mean Anything?
I heard that when a couple float a kratong together then it is believed that that couple wil be inseperable for all eternity - not just this lifetime. My wife did this with me when we met and I still cant get rid :)- Most things are boring
