Yes, here and all around the world, we are in a Global Melt down case you haven't heard.

More arrests please there is enough TRASH in the streets already. who need this kind of thing. SHAME SHAME

Drive a big truck(ten wheeler if possible) LOUD Horn and be prepared to FLEE the SCENE if some UNlucky sole cannot get out of your way and you crash.

For my two bahts worth good clean tasty food. One can get three decent health meals a day for about Bt300(less than ten U.S.) . A good Hair is also a great bargain in LOS, Bt30 in my village, which is a super super price when you see a DUD like John "I cheat on my sick wife Edward paying about Bt35,000 for a haircut.

Find a nice FAT Thai lady and Smuggler-UP, do it NOW

Found a good one at Honda Dealer, set us back Bt1780, seem like a soild buy to me.

ON Earth(on the ground). Having said that, I have met some really great people and made some good friend at the local shopping Mall, TEsco Lotus, met an Aussie guy(Jim) at Big C about four years ago and have been best of friends since then. Just a matter of getting out and about and during it the Thai way smile, say hi and go from there. Met an American Lady last week, at local Supermarket, talk my ear OFF, after chatting with her for about 15 minutes, hearing her Up"s and down's my downs were pale to her.

How about a sheMale? No just Jiving dude, I am sure there are some English speaking ladies out there that will assist you. LADIES OVER to YOU!!

Maybe a view is in order.

Most of the Bakeries do a great job with bread YUm Yum, me I just stick to Farm House

No not for me. To much salt for my taste.

Have met a few Expats on my visit to Isan that are like you say, however for the most part they a far a few between. May I suggest you don't visit or socialize places where expats are drinking bitching and moaning, you would have a much brighter day and enjoyable stay Isan(Udon). CHEERS!!

Yes it is getting Expensive, a 10klo of Rice just 18 months ago was Bt275 now it is Bt345 at all the shop in my little town. Bus ride up to Bt10. In spite of it all Thailand is still a great place to shop and visit.

Yeah, like Thaskin could really give a S##T. Not going to hurt his Pocket Book one bit, so who care come on people don't you have better things to do.

The Red Shirts are getting Nasty(UDD), WOW!! Chuan desever better.

Sounds like one Bad Cat. You did the right thing to head for hospital, hope the own do like wise and keep this cat on a tight leash. Maybe Spading is in order for this BAD CAT>

Had me wondering for a second there with stories all over the News in recent weeks about fake Bank Notes. Seem as of late the power that be has got a handle on this issue.

Well one thing for sure the Bank of Thailand will do it very best to see that it does not. THAI PRIDE!! trust me on this one.

Beware and alert to your surrounding no matter where you are Folks, we are in hard times, people are down and out and the really bad one will look for the easier Target. Wife's nephew saw a snatch and run in their small village(less 800 people) motorbike no plate, lucky the lady wasn't hurt just super Piss as anyone would be(Anywhere/Anytime)

She should be able to take care of her self. We have Health and Life Insurance, ATM, some saving Pension, she has assess to it all. My main goal while still alive is to TRY to show how to use it wisely. Bottom line you could leave a Billion Baht plus and it could be gone in no time if not manage properly

Hi There all,

My first post ,and thanks for some interesting reads in the other posts.....

I am British, resident in Hong Kong for the last 4 years, and looking to make a move. I have been to Thailand several times, am in love with Asia (have spent a total of 6 years in HK with my previous travel)...Now I know HK is a city like no other in Asia, in that it (despite being a fantastic place) is very British (I live on the Island, in Mid-Levels and hate going to Kowloon!) - so I am sure I am in for an eye-opener for the first little while moving to Thailand.

Being a lazy bastid, but also being in the restaurant business with most of my skills back of house, how easy would it be to get a visa that allowed me to work part time to pay my way a little (and fill some time). I am toying with the idea of doing the ED visa and learning the language at the same time, but it sure leaves a lot of extra time to mooch about ........

Any thought?

Come on down friend there are a lot of LAZY Bastards here(I am one of them) that love to hang out at the restaurant/beer bar You will love it here.

Thanks for the reminder, I will get a Foot Massage tomorrow. Why do they alway start with the left foot first, Hmmmm, I wonder? Anyone know WHY?

Yes, but I keep TIGHT control on the Card

Dream on dream LOVER!!
