Not a problem friend, just retreat and get some boiling I mean super hot boiling water a douse that sucker. Have your self some boil snake to snack, try it. It really works

The Thai, Muslim relationship is quite good, many Thai Ladies are Muslim, however I have seen very few with Farang Husband or boyfriends. Having said that this is the land of smile and many things are accepted,(ALMOST anything goes) so my guess if you are a Muslim guy walking hand in hand with your Thai lady no on would think much of it.

Judging from my recent short visit to CM I would guess on the Up side. Most of the local vendors I saw seem to be done quite well, all smiles, lot of cash from day sells.

In my case not nearly enough. Have local Thai Life, Bt22,000 per year coverage, cover about Bt70,000 if in hospital, for sure I need to go with BUPA, just no agents in my area.

So sad, hope the power that be wake-up and enforce the Building codes. No doubt after a short outcry all wil return to buisness as normal. Hear tell The Rights and Liberties Protection Department will pay Bt80,000 compensation to relatives of victims, what a shame, what an insult.

A dangerous snake give it a WIDE BERTH!

Fined the other day - No licence, and some garbage about doing a U-turn.

He had some fat, balding, black, Thai bloke trying to gain brownie points by pointing out offenders.

Anyway, the <snip> took my expired Australian drivers licence... and said he said "I'll wait for you here"

I just went home and tore, chewed on it until it was totally unrecognisable and spat it off the balcony.

Who knows what germs I ended up with.

I didn't go back to the cop or to the police station and don't plan to either.

So, what happens now??

Do they hunt me down and put me in jail???she doesn't know who I am and that she hires the motorbike out to stupid farangs.

Whats the worst that could happen and what is most likely to occur.

Do they list me at immigration so when I return to Thailand it comes up after they've sighted my passport?

Or does nothing happen??

A Thai friend told me that because the motorbike is in my girlfriends name, the fine will come up when she renews the motorbike licence and she can just say

Thanks for the responses

"fat balding black, Thai Bloke" you sound a bit racist to me my friend. You are lucky or this is a made up story, in most cases a cop worth his SALT would not let you walk away saying he would wait for you, you must leave something that will insure your return pal, i.e. your car, your bike, mobile. Beware they have your name on their copy of the ticket, along with the make and modle of what you were driving. HINT Buddy: Watch your back, enlist the help of a mate just in case you need to be bail OUT>

Let her get on with her life. Offer all the assistance and support you can, keep in mind you can only help if she is will to accept your help.

The good old Bank of Thailand(BOT) is keeping the Baht in the ARSE.

No need to test, common sense should be your guide, most if not all Thai women aren't scammer they are just looking for someone to take good care of them and their kids/extende d family. In other words a better way of life.

Number one annoying behaviour are the young kids(13 or 14 years old) cutting in front of you and when you honk the horn to remind them they look like, who me, what's your problem Farang(?) Number two are those darn whistleblowers at Lotus, Marko, Central, Big C, where ever, forgive LORD, but I would like to take those DARN Whistles and put them where the sun don't shine.

This is a Warning all should heed. Wish for the safety and happiness of all.

Depend!! Is she good in Bed?

This is the same guy that gave Santa a ticket for not wearing a Helmet.

Yes, so sad indeed, RIP all. Hope the rest of the Holiday period will be better. Hope the police and their helpers can keep as many DRUNKS off the road as possible and Court throw the book at those that are caught, and little HARD TIME please, Thailand's roads are crowded, one drunk driver can take out many people. These people need to learn a lesson BEFORE they kill somebody. NUFF SAID!

<snip> Some do it all, some don't. Hope this guy learn his lesson, let his do a little hard time at the Bangkok Hilton, than deport to home land.

Wonder what the augerment was about?? Sometime it's better to walk away, talk again another day. Sounds a bit like OJ, fight with the wife and lost control RIP(rest in Prison) 33 years

Security should be stepped everywhere, there are NUTS all over the world just looking to stir-up trouble. A Happy and safe New Year Eve to All; hope no one here is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In the last year I have changed my female companions from the employees of drinking and dancing establishments to the lovely ladies who make up the higher echelons of the Thai social strata. These women are sometimes aghast at my low class Thai vocabulary.

They have told me I should not use words that are quite as earthy as I am used to.

I am cool with trying to upgrade my vocabulary. But the new ladies are embarrassed to tell me the Thai words for common subjects of conversation like clitoris or do you feel like back door sex tonight.

I don't have any problems saying these things but I wondered if there is a web site that gives rather less vulgar ways of talking about common bodily and/or romantic functions.

My guess is most of these women don't REALLY care as long as you have some Baht for a few drinks and a good night around town. ENJOY!!

Wine and fast Women, darn miss this both.

What are you doing now BigSnake? Beer and slow women?

Yep, Sorensen old and slow women they don't ask for much How about you? Cutting back on What??

Wine and fast Women, darn miss them both.

My Thai friend of 3 years has become involved which to me looks suspicious:

He goes to "Buddha" houses where a "teacher" has installed a shrine made of hundreds of Hindu Gods, (so not Bhuddhist), and goes to pray and help others who seem to be volunteer in helping the "teacher" in making flower arrangements, statues and other religious items to be used in ceremonies.

Each time he goes, he puts in some money in a tray, as others do, under a statue.

Since yesterday has been told not to eat beef or pork and has told me everything in his life is now clear.

All fine, but I was myself in a cult many years ago and have become sceptical, and this seems like a little guy sets himself up as a "teacher", gets all his friends and others to help does some religious items, pay for them and gives some advice on their life. The "teacher's" room is small and looks very pious to the eye, but obviously collects about 2-3000 Baht per day from visitors.

Has anyone else come across this type of thing in Thailand?

MAYBE a bit of a SCAM, however it's no secret that (red meat) beef or pork is not heart healthy. From my many many visits to the Wats(Buddha houses) it seem quite normal to leave a little donation and help with small task on your visit. I would keep an EYE on the TEACHER, checkout his lifestyle, i.e., does teacher have a DVD, TV, radio, Rolex or other high vaule items this could be a sign of a bit of a SCAM by teacher.(??) just my thought VISITORS beware.

About one hour and an half(90mins) via AC bus, cost Bt180. A cab will set you back about BT3000, if you are lucky. Nice 4 lane road.
