Richard Prouse at Chiang Mai Property has a work permit

These people are unbelievable - walnut faced peasantry living in the dark ages

sounds legit where do I signn up to see all these woman

Usual TIT organization - cant do anything properly lol

When you sell it just let the buyer worry about it -

My trip to BC is almost done, when does Papa Sing open in the morning? I am back to England next week

Have you been in The Camel bar lately? I had breakfast there and watched one of the sour faced bitches who were serving picking skin off the bottom of her feet at the bar for a few minutes. Some food cam and She took it outside to some poor customer who had no idea - filthy bitch.

Does anyone know why alcohol can't be purchased between 2-5pm, what is so significant about those 3 hours?

A wizard told them they are unlucky numbers.

So Thailand number 1 again right? wooo hooo maybe TAT could use this information

That should save Thailand and give more work to the locals.....If they could speak English that is.

I wonder how much of a fine the retarded guard got before being released? 300baht or 500?

Another 8 happy tourists spreading the word about Thainess.....

I flew into CM airport yesterday and the taxi driver threw a juice carton out the car window - these people are plain dumb peasants.

Nice picture of her - lovely lady

"In this regard, all sectors of Thai society have been urged to join the reform efforts."

General, please, whatever you do, never ask the majority of TVF members as it is amazing how ignorant they are on Thai political issues.

The only thing they know is to repeat themselves, asking for your good self to go away, without realizing or even thinking that this will put Thailand back to the old days of corruption, disrespect of the law and the constitution.

Please, take your time and reform this country........elections and democracy can wait.

Thailand is not ready yet to face them again.

What brand of boot polish do you use to polish his Jackboots?

I have a Thai wife, 2 children, and eleven years in Thailand as a rich dude, police afraid to pull over my BMW. I moved back to the USA, a place where police are willing to pull me over for not obeying a stop sign in the mall. Why did I do this? Because Thailand had turned into a place where greedy scum pay the boss tribute for the right to steal as much as they can from the people of Thailand. Of course, the Democrats steal too, but they have enough sense to understand there are limits to how much you can get away with, even in Thailand, so they leave some scraps on the table for others to quarrel over.

At a meditation retreat I came to meet a very senior military figure, a graduate of a US military academy. With my many years in Thailand I was reluctant to engage anyone from the police, military or government. Over the course of a few dinners I came to realize there are actually some people who are patriots and care about the country and the people and understand both western and eastern mindset.

While I am polishing my jackboots, I ask you PatOngo, can you say the same about Jatuporn, the other red leaders (who shout violent provocations then run away), the Thaksin clan, the police lackeys filling their pockets, an army of government bureaucrats with their hands out. I will leave out the swarm of scam artists ripping off tourist and Thai alike without conscience.

Why, PatOngo, do you want to go back to that? Without doubt, the current self imposed leadership will swing the pendulum to far to the right. With a look a history and a little commonsense and luck, that pendulum will swing back to rest in a comfortable middle. And that is why I support the current leadership, so that my foreign educated Thai-American children can return to a democratic and rule of law nation. It is going to take time, certainly not one to two years, but at least there will be a nation and not a Thaksinland.

Will you argue that democracy and the right to sell your vote is always right? If so, please study the two thaousand years of Chinese history to help understand that democracy is born of the west and paternalistic dynasties of the east. Expecting western democracy of the east is a losing proposition. Let Thais find their own way.

mind blowing revelations rich dude - glad you have left the Country the Police can relax now. please don't come back

"...and believe that the present situation is due to that Bangkok still insist on maintaining the final word and holding the overall authority over all the country`s Immigration departments."

If not them, who?

Any immigration officer should be able to apply the rules is that difficult to understand?

Educating the business owners on how to provide some customer service may be a start in the right direction. The ill mannered sour faced idiots running a lot of the establishments only have themselves to blame.

I have a small can of pepper spray and I was thinking of taking it to Thailand with me, mainly because I am afraid of street dogs. I have been attacked by street dogs twice (once in Chiang Mai and once in Pattaya), several years ago... having pepper spray with me would make me feel safer. But I seem to understand that it is illegal to carry it with me, so I guess I'll have to leave it at home.

Being cruel to animals will not endear you to the Police either - catch 22 for you. 100 baht fine or unable to inflict damage to dogs.....tough call

Looks good, I expect that is why so many septics are obese - lol

kebab shop it is then. thanks for warning me about the Pilots on Turkish air with degrees in playing games on the internet - wait a minute do you have internet in Turkey?

You sound like you have a great plan, What University in Turkey did you buy your degree from?

Friend of mine got busted last night at Thapae..

Spent the remainder of the night/morning in jail at the Ratchadamnoen Fuzz Office.. today court, fine, etc. all that jazz.

I sincerely hope a lesson was learned.

(Don't pass Thapae Gate at night; ever. God created sois for a reason.)

Good to hear the Police are doing their job and keeping <deleted> drunks off the road - hope he gets prison time.

I give 75,000 per month, I wanted her to give up work so I pay her instead.

She gave me a good deal, considering what she used to earn being the number one superstar in Baby GoGo, she has taken a cut in pay.

Pathetic - what a loser. LOL

nancy

My vote is for Nancy, only if Allan Hall personally comes to present her with the award.

A few months ago, I would have been very annoyed with this post. Now, I just find it hysterically funny. By his leaving, I've had one heck of a good time this year. Thanks everyone -- for pulling together to remake the CM Expats Club!

I think that's a little harsh Nancy, I like the way you and Richard are running the expats club for me during my absence you have done well - thanks again
