felt it in bangkok just now

my office swaying 25th floor

creepy

i know, i was being defensive.

peace.

just be sure to do your research of exchange rates first, either on interenet, or if on the plane, check the business section of the paper.

and double count your money and check the math of the exchange booth guys.

in don muang they tried to shaft me several times.

exactly. its been clear everytime ive been, which is every week!

ladies, come on now. we could easily rewrite this from our point of view!

.... the woman who are pretty, seem kind of nice at first, divorce you after a few years for 'not developing thier inner potential' for them and take half of all you ever earned..!

this is sad.

the only answer i can come up with is to find the next up on the power chain to this guy. who does he respect or look up to. there must be a father or big brother or local mafia headman who can be approached. that person must be convinced of the severity of the situation. then that guy must have a serious talk with mr abusive.

love em, but thais are very close-minded about other cuisines.

i'm a straight guy who found this thread by searching the word sin sod in my own marriage research.

so hope you won't mind me saying that if the world is not prepared to give the gay community the fair right to have a fully recognized marriage, then why should you get stuck with paying sin sod?

that'd be like paying the price without getting the full goods.

in the paper today they said that the airport will relocate that big thai sculpture of the people and the giant naga or snake when you enter the area with the shops because it crowds the walkways.

sure get rid of one of the nice pieces of art and culture because it is in the way but king power will be allowed to continue blocking the corridors i'm sure.

i've had good luck getting there quickly too.

i go to the airport almost every week, often at rush hour. never missed a flight! the only traffic trouble for me is on sathorn or around rama IV.

once you are on the tollways, and as long as your taxi driver is the standard thai speed demon, you get there quite quick.

nikster-sounds like your father in law may have made a little 'comission' on that buy.

and if thai used cars are high-priced AND not well maintained, then simply buy a NEW car for just a little more and don't worry about all the hidden damage.

SOLVED!

it's just not a good looking vehicle in my opinion. really a bland and uninspired looking thing. depresses me!

all over the place

brilliant reply. you're a bright one for sure.

a few years back i got a visa at chiang khong. took only about a day. was a chilled out enough town to spend a nite there was ok.

the big question is whether to take the slow or fast boat if youre going to luang prabang. plusses and minusses for each.

the sound of the hing and the hoy

and the song of the par club ladyboy

from terry's to u-turn

the drink til morning sunburn

the fresh new bug crop

and chiang rais first sandwich shop

c.r.guy's leg broken again

something about a highway thru chiang saen

these rhymes so fresh i know they please ya

my 160th post on thaivisa

how deadly is the scorpion?

pattays beach is crap.

if you want a better beach then koh samet is great

i dont like the idea of capitol punishment

but i dont like the idea of people sneaking drugs into someone elses country.

if my kids overdosed on some drugs and i found the pusher i'd be tempted to carry out a certain form of punishment

i had my shoes stolen from outside a temple in ayuthaya.

can you believe it?

i take my shoes off to be respectful and some monkey steals my shoes.

i had to take a tuk tuk to some shop and buy sandals half my size.

but, this is not uniquely a fault of thailand.

real ones.. big and fluffy, a stack with maple syrup.

anywhere excellent in bangkok?

any in bkk?

not too competitive... for out of practice guys?

don't know much about breeds.

but i think rotweillers would be too big for me.

but any breed does a good job at guarding a home and land? does the standard thai dog, mutt do ok?

any snakes, milipedes centipedes and scorpions that i come across on my land will be killed without a trial.

spare me the political and spiritual correctness but many are dangerous, and one less of them is good in my book.

when i started this topic, i was only stating that thailands duty free was more expensive than other airport's duty free.

but i do still see that alcohol is cheaper at the airport than in the city. it is a lower price and often a bigger bottle.

the difficulty with buying a used car in thailand is that, as far as i understand, cars dont depreciate at any standard formula, nor is thier a blue-book value, the price is just whatever amount of money the seller wants so be sure its a good value or youre better off getting a new one, and then you have the assurance that the owner didnt drive the car abusively and have hidden damage do you like run-on sentence like i do?
