  1. Citizens of Switzerland and Japan don't have to pay for a visa. A reward for giving lots of hand outs to Laos.
  2. If you put your phone and smokes in one of those plastic things you hang around your neck then they know you are up for a soaker. They stop motorcycles and soak them down might even give you a shot of Lao Khow ,lots of fun.
  3. You can buy an anti oxidant ,it comes in a tube like toothpaste. I had no luck explaining this to a Thai electrician so I brought some from Canada where you can buy it in any electrical shop.
  4. Years ago it was much cheaper to buy a return from Bangkok rather than the other way especially if you were going business class. The airlines caught on to this so did not like people going over on a one way ticket and then buying a cheap return from Bangkok. If you went over on points they would know for sure that you knew the system and would want to see a visa.
  5. Years ago I told my young fellow that if he ever hope to get laid a messy room would be a turn off for sure. I told him that if he brought a girlfriend home she would take one look at his room and then come into mine. He got the message and he has had a clean room ever since and that was 30 years ago.
  6. Used to be that if you went down by the river you could pick up AIS from Thailand. Now your phone goes over to Laos Telecom as soon as you cross the bridge.
  7. Check out the price of eggs ,they know that a lot of farangs like to buy eggs by the dozen rather than ten or fifteen. If you figure out the price of each egg in a ten pack you will notice that you are paying double for those extra two eggs in the dozen pack.
  8. Obviously you havn't been to Canada or the US ,they make the worst sausage in the world .Use fat and gristle to bulk it out instead of rusk so they can call it 100% meat .
  9. Around new year I tried to book Viet Jet to Udon Thani but they were full. I noticed Air Asia was advertising a flight to Udon Thani so I booked with them. Quess what it was a code share deal and the plane I went on was the Viet Jet that they said was full.
  10. I would like to drive in via Laos. Have not heard of anyone doing it some say RHD vehicles not allowed in Vietnam?
  11. Get into the habit of using the bum gun instead of paper. Haven't pumped mine in 20 years.
  12. Now we need the UK and Russian consuls to do the same and while they are at it do something about all the Nigerian princes that need a hand to bring over their billions.
  13. Reminds me of Hitler and his SS. What I don't understand is how they convince the taxpayers to pay for Keeping so many people in jail, costs a fortune. Really ,pinching people for smoking pot and picking up hookers ,do these guys need to be kept in jail?
  14. Ten years from now I wonderwho they pinch for todays corruption? Depends on who is in power I quess.
  15. Why so long to get a plate? When you register a vehicle in Canda they ask if you have a plate that's good enough to use, if not she reaches under the counter and hands you one. Checks your insurance and bill of sale, the whole process takes five minutes.
  16. I prefer tattoos to piercings, however if you have to many it gets freaky.
  17. Has anyone taken a Thai vehicle through Laos to Vietnam? From UdonThani to saltwater in Rayong is 700km Vietnam's coast looks a lot closer.
  18. Get the BTS to Ekkamai on the Sukhumvit line where you will find the eastern bus terminal. The cheapest and best way to go.
  19. The price of a screw in tooth has more than tripled over the past few years. I guess they figure that if they charge a few dollars less than the USA the customers will pour in. However if they really want customers they should be charging less than eastern Europe.
  20. We have big gekos in the house. My question is <deleted> do they eat as I see lots of geko <deleted> on the floor?
  21. I learned this years ago. The train went by and the gate did not open so I started pulling on the gate when a train came from the other direction.
  22. You can top up at Ding.com or from your Thai bank on line.
  23. A true son of the north east would be talking about Korat not Nakhon Ratchasima!
  24. Not at all offensive as it is an incomplete statement. For who's benefit does he want no contact? Does he believe blacks will benefit by staying away from whites or does he believe whites will benefit by staying away from blacks?
  25. The more sewage the more algae.
