Cook my sock

Have friends here on honeymoon, can anyone recommend the above? I only know The Crab and Claw, but looking for something more traditional.

The luxury market is not doing too well right now. Many suppliers are not getting paid, it's reaching crisis point. So if Thais aren't buying luxury goods then I doubt they'll be buying cars unless totally necessary.
Of course none of this is being reported, the government pretends all is well. And with all these crazy 50 m condos in central Bangkok being built, it has all the hallmarks of a pre crash

Agree there shd be a help line set up. Nowadays with the free apps and most people using smartphones it cd be set up by the embassies

With the reported surprising economic results in uk, let's hope the £ gets a little stronger.
What's interesting about the Thai economy right now is the luxury market has pretty much crashed. Outlets are not paying their suppliers, and it's reaching crisis point - I know this from one of the biggest importers of luxury goods in Thailand

Was this Islamic terrorist Palestinian in his own country when he got shot? Just a question

When I first came to Thailand I loved the vibe and knew I'd live here one day. I wasn't into Thai women at all (At the time).Nearly 20 years on I've slowly made the move over and bought a condo nearly 3 yrs ago. It's not quite the same Thailand now and I do miss what I first experienced. But that's 'progress' ... also feel my age in Bangkok too, so I'll probably move to an island at some point and live the beach life, sailing etc.

So for anyone thinking to move abroad, you really need to have that feeling in your gut about the country of choice. You need a long term plan and a way to pay the bills, preferably owning and renting property. If you're winging it for a better sex life, it's maybe not enough, unless your life truly revolves around sex and you have deep pockets!

If he was wounded lying on the ground, how was it manslaughter

I still remember when Tom Hurndall got shot by an Israeli sniper. As the evidence mounted on the marksman, his story changed so many times. I think he did 6 yrs for that murder.

Looking at the design, it's similar to a Russian-built Volga river cruiser that we chartered one summer for accommodation while working in the eastern Caspian Sea. It wasn't built for seas above 1.5 m and was pulled off survey well before the bad weather set in. Reading other posts, this catamaran was apparently built in Norway so I would assume that it was originally a fjord cruiser. Since Norway's sea coastline mostly embraces the North Sea, there's no way this was running back and forth offshore. Then it probably did some nice river cruising in China. As this is the time of year for the most unsettled offshore conditions in the Gulf of Thailand, I reckon there will be some more delays to this service officially starting and the whole enterprise scrapped within one, very short 'summer' season... if it ever gets that far.

You do get some big waves off the coast of Norway and Sweden on that side. I live there during the summer and we take the cats out to Koster from the main land. They have a very high tunnel/deck clearance, v sturdy. Not sure what the clearance is on the Hua hin pattaya cats

People are trying to make the connection between Japan's crimes during World War Two, and stuff being done by China.

Let's just say, that Mao did kill 45 million Chinese in China.
But Japan butchered a load of people OUTSIDE of Japan
 

There are a couple of good craft beer bars in BK - Mikkeller in ekkamai and Let the boy die (youngish crowd, near Chinatown). Of course not cheap, but the brews are really good.
And try Ekamai Beer House, a good choice of brews and they do a happy hour. A very popular place for groups of young ladies after work..

Yes it was really going well til that rant at the end

The old formula Chang was my favorite Thai beer. 6.4% alcohol, a full flavored and bitter brew that was the perfect compliment to spicy Thai food. Cheap too! Sadly the formula was changed a few years ago and now sucks, just like all the other Thai beers. 
 
Beer Lao, Beer Lao Dark and San Miguel Dark...if you can find it...are all much better choices. 

Agree Netflix is good value. It gives you 3 tier choices, I went for the top for the free month then medium package
Also good for Airbnb

No. This is wannabe hiso/stupid farang price.

Yeah Heineken is reliable. Chang tastes great while it's still chilled, then the last third is equivalent to drinking your own

At least the sterling baht rate is slightly better

I cancelled True long ago. Use an App to get all my English tv and fmovies to watch the latest free films in HD

I tried a Phuket 'craft' beer at a Bangkok restaurant recently.
Not bad at all!

Okay thanks guys, I'll get right on it.

1) Letter from apartment re: living here
2) Certificate of residence from immigration
3) Get together license + IDP + passport pages copied etc.
4) Get myself down to the DLT

Fingers crossed.

I guess afteraffects of the cyclone that went across from Philippines

Yeah, so if China owns up to killing 30 million Chinese under Mao's time, how does that change the issue of Japan doing mass murder during World War Two ????

Will it make you happier, will it make America and Europe safer, if China never again kills 30 million Chinese people ?
 

I'm doing this now on a smaller scale, looking for empty houses in a catchment area. We've already had an elderly Chinese lady contact my wife about her brothers old house.. fingers crossed.

Countries like Thailand actually hoping to get flooded by even more Chinese tourists.

How can anybody say that China is doing what Japan did, eighty years ago ????

 

To answer both

If you read the news..they certainly do not

Yes, what the Chinese leaders did 20 yrs later

You'd have to add around 20k a month minus the annual fee. So around 600-650 per day
