And here I thought the Song Taews were public transportation... Given the size of the city (mueang), state / size of the roads and the traffic congestion, how would a typically sized bus be effective? I cringe every time a tour bus comes at me on some of the smaller sois in the city...

All part of the reason I pay for all retail transactions with baht... Yes, it's a pain in the butt at times, especially coming from a mostly cashless society in the west, but life is too short to get worked up over something that could have been avoided in the first place...

Oh there is much arguing about the war. Wars were fought entirely different back then. Tactics not the same in todays technology advanced world. What is not excepted today was standard practice back then.
And the right for McCain to call them scum is one of the benefits of being a US citizen and being allowed to freely speak our mind.
Kissinger was and is a great man.
How about the people having their freedom of speech denied by McCain? Oh, I see, it only applies when it benefits you...
You also forgot to mention that the Vietnam war was started based on a lie... The Gulf of Tonkin incident never occurred... As admitted to by Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense at the time...

So keep on believing that your duly elected officials and bureaucrats are acting in your best interest... You thump your chest and think you know what is going on, while not having a bloody clue, then attack anyone that attempts to educate you...
So go ahead and crack open a cold one, put your feet up and get ready for the big game in a little while... In the mean time, read my signature line because I believe it applies...

Huh? Hahahah dude please you are the one living in a fantasy....
And back to topic all you have to do in Thailand is make a facebook post the junta doesn't like and you are invited for reeducation. Those people in Gitmo killed innocent civilians. Im thinking you are not a US citizen and therefore dont know and are talking out your ass....
And typically, the ad hominem attacks ensue... I am a US citizen, served in the military, loved my country before is was taken over by globalists... You sir are the one that is clueless and I dare say ignorant of the facts... You didn't look up the NDAA, did you?
You might check how those folks got interned in Gitmo too... The vast majority were picked up in sweeps of people that had nothing to do with "terrorism", merely the suspicion of being allied with the terrorists...
Enjoy the US while it lasts... Perhaps you missed this little tidbit in the news yesterday...
US passport on the verge of elimination
http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/u-s-passports-on-verge-of-elimination/
Never mind, ignorance is bliss as the saying goes... So go to fishin' because you are out of your depth...
And you are living in the fantasy world of conspiracy. Please deposit your US passport in the nearest mailbox so it can be returned to its rightful owner, the United States of America. If you ever decide to come back to the US, please come back as a foreign tourist. American citizens dont talk despairingly of their home country. We dont need nor want people like you around. Go back to your barstool please
So you can muster a coherent sentence, congratulations.... In the mean time the topic was Henry Kissinger... One question, do you approve of his actions and deeds over the last 50 years? If so, you don't deserve the courtesy of a reply as you are the traitor to your country and mankind... Maintaining the US's role as "top dog" in the global pecking order hardly justifies the means of Kissinger and his ilk...
I don't deal in conspiracy theory, I speak of conspiracy facts... If you could read and put forth any effort, you would come the same conclusions as I have... But no, you believe the rhetoric that comes out of the boob tube as spewed forth by western media... So go back to your six pack, the Super Duper Bowl is about to start...
Oh, and about that passport, did you bother to follow the link I provided? You know, the one where the dissolution of the US as a sovereign nation is well under way? Or haven't you noticed that the borders in the US are an open sieve? I thought not...

It is best to be wary of over friendly strangers, no matter the country or place... For example, never get sucked into a card game with Filipinos you don't know...
In the case of Africans along Sukhumvit, they have a long history of being involved in vice and fraud... As someone else noted, they can be very persuasive...
For the Indian tailors, once you shake their hand, they often will not let go as they pitch you their custom...
Soi 6 is another story as at least you get what you bargained for...
As always, YMMV...

Isnt it nice that in the US people can do things like protest without fear of being taken away to a reeducation camp?
The last time I checked, people living in the free world don't have to be concerned about "being taken away to reeducation camps." Another American hater I presume?
I guess you have never heard of the NDAA or the Patriot Act before it...
As a US citizen, you have no rights, you can be detained indefinitely without habeas corpus, you are not entitled to an attorney, nor your family being notified of where you are or your condition... And as prior events have proven, you can be killed by your government and no one will blink an eye... All of your assets seized under suspicion of a crime, with zero proof... You think those folks in Gitmo are on holiday?
Wake up dude because you are living in a fantasy world... Don't believe me, just google NDAA and you only get 699,000 hits... Read any of them...

Just get a Skype account and setup a US telephone number... You get voice mail, SMS and video phone... Works on a mobile telephone or a PC / Mac... On a mobile, you can have your Thai sim in the phone and still receive / make US phone calls via Skype... It costs something like $24 USD per year for a US telephone number...

If you lookup satan in the dictionary, you will find a photo of Henry Kissinger...
Here are a few quotes for those of you defending this nobel peace prize winner that is personally responsible for millions of deaths of innocent civilians... Think about that statement for a minute...
“I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.”
- Henry Kissinger
“The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.”
- Henry Kissinger"Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world"
- Henry Kissinger
"Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls energy can control entire continents; who controls the money can control the world"
- Henry Kissinger
"It's not a matter of what is true that counts but a matter of what is perceived to be true"
- Henry Kissinger
"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy"
- Henry Kissinger
I could go on for days on this guy, but I can only hope that those of you defending this piece-of-work would spend as much time researching him as you do defending him... Ignorance is a choice...
Kissinger in the CFR and Brzezinski in the Tri-Lateral Commission of the two primary architects of US domestic and foreign policy over the last 50 years... Do you think the world is a better place for it?

Came in on Monday night, a taxi driver collared me. I was going to Soi 11 Sukhumvit. Got in the taxi, he refused to put on the meter and asked for 500 baht. I started getting out and he said OK, 400. He relented to 350 but I told him no tip, which was fair enough to me as I had just traveled over 30 hours and I was early evening, so the traffic was heavy
He probably gets away with it 9 out of 10 times as tourists have no idea what the normal fares are...
When I hail a taxi in Bangkok, the first question I ask before getting in is whether they use the meter or not...

I think the reason is simple: you're living here on a tourist visa and she doesn't like that.
Well i pay for her salary every 2 months, she should be happy instead. I don't work here, me and my GF are not married so the only thing atm is tourist visa, i usually carry recommendation letters from my gfs PHD professors in case they need poof or something. And most of the staff already know our situation, i usually write that as a reason for extension "to stay with my gf until she finish her studies".
No, you don't...

If he'd had a real gun, that .22 cartridge probably would have gone clear through the victims head and taken out a big chunk of skull at the exit wound.
The .22 is small but it's deadly. The pen gun probably didn't have tight enough tolerances to put all of the pressure behind the bullet, and it was probably wimpy.
It's ironic to say, but the victim got lucky.
Thais have the 3rd highest gun murder rate per capita in the world.
If you include ALL murders, Thailand have the 106th "highest" murder rate, just ahead of the USA at number 111.
Thailand is less dangerous than many people believe.
In the mean time there were 425 murders in Chicago during 2014...

I picked up a Trek Series 390 MTB at Chaitawat a couple of weeks ago and have been quite happy with it... They had a few 57cm models in stock and I got to pick my color combination and not just take what they had in stock... It was in the 14K baht range... Nice people... It was 45 minutes from the time I walked in until I rode out with the bike, and they had to unbox it and do final assembly too...
One thing to keep in mind is that a standard MTB is not a true down-hill bike... Different suspension geometry and travel settings... Having said that, for occasional use a MTB will do fine unless you want to ride at 10/10ths...

You ask if there are many of them on the boards? Unfortunately yes, most IMO... Just read any topic and count the number of negative vs positive posts... After being a mod on various forums over the years, I gave up as is was affecting my attitude, much akin to pissing up a rope...
