  1. Yeh, cause that wouldn't be a waste of money!
  2. Sorry for late reply. The same to you sir & many more to come. 🙂
  3. "keepin up with the Joneses', it is referred to as in the UK. 🙂 Stopped doin it when I began livin in Thailand 22 years ago. It has put me in good stead. 🙂
  4. The wife used to worry about such things UNTIL I explained it in terms she could understand. I asked a simple question ..... "If we were broke in the morning, would any of these people that you worry about talkin about you, rock up to our door & offer to give us some money?" She thought for a moment and answered a resounding 'No.' 'Then why worry about them', I answered. Since then, she doesn't give a fuuuuu about what they think. Job done. 🙂 It sounds simple, but if you want to explain to your better half about such things, this is easily understood, even with cultural differences.
  5. Christ !!! He will be 1,262 years old when he gets out !!!!!
  6. In other news .............. Rathapon Pradseartk was recently found guilty of tax fraud, LM, murder, cheating on the wife, not payin his membership dues of local football club, et all & received 2 million years in jail from the upper court !!!! He can only serve 20 years !!!!! What is the f%$kin point of handing down such a sentence?????? 🙂
  7. Yeh, buy a box of red 'cooking wine.' It's drinkable.
  8. Tried it ................ what is it with Thai businesses here???? Is the price a SECRET ???? 🙂
  9. Tried same, but they insisted tax needs to be taken. No point in arguing with them & explaining that with my tax ID, this is a reasonable request.
  10. My experience ............ went in to pink bank with ....... yellow house book, pink ID card, drivers license & work permit! Guy said, I need a letter from my employer stating that I work there! The work permit had entries for 6 years. LOL. Just looked at him, started laughing & left. Went to another pink branch in town. presented same docs & account promptly opened. My wife told me that I shouldn't do it BUT ........ went back to the first bank, asked for the previous guy, showed him the new bank book & ATM card & laughed at him again. He was not pleased, but it made me happy. 🙂 All of this happened within an hour of being turned down & then approved. Don't give up. 🙂
  11. ....... and hopefully, reduce the incidence of people getting shot by man-children brought up by their grandparents. 😞
  12. Sadly, we can't do it, as we don't have a work permit. 🙂
  13. This is a new low ....... describing a fat bar girl like that, is unacceptable and especially at this time of year. Merry Christmas to you & yours. 🙂
  14. Every officer will also have one of these 🙂 .....................
  15. and here, good people is the warning sign already. Much like in Ukraine, an election cannot happen if the country is at 'war.' You can see the direction that they are heading in. A simple piccture should help explain.
  16. Any citizen believing in such a thing, need to have their rights to vote rescinded. They clearly will have sh@t for brains.
  17. I will follow the actions of the local upstanding Thai politicians. Will that suffice???? 🙂
  18. It's ridiculous! They might as well ban these as well, cause they are being used by housewives, the length and breadth of the country for such an activity.
  19. In my opinion, not for the betterment of the people, but for the enrichment of others. Just sayin. 🙂
  20. I'll just leave this here 🙂 ......................
