Ok, i don't want to be called retarded like the ones not able to use google map. so the market is here:

https://goo.gl/lJaaw7

MAE VILAI MARKET

and the street with at least 5 indian restaurant is soi 16 next to the  market, where there is BED TIME hotel.

Do you know this street and these restaurants ?

I found a street with 5 indian restaurants, do you know them ?

Easy to find, central pattaya, close to the beach, there is a market with a rice + mango 24 hours seller (very famous it seems), walk in the small soi next to the mango seller and you will find at least 5 indian restaurants !

Is it a new spot ?

You could consider an off grid solar system. It can be ecconomic is a long way from PEA connection.

I am interested for a bungalow, do you have any website or links about solar systems ? Thank you.

Hi, so there is no special reason to buy foscam ? what about watashi ? Thanks.

hi, any update on this ? I am also looking. Thanks.

Any idea about Watashi ? or maybe you found another brand available in Thailand ?

Hi, I am looking for information about Watashi also, anybody bought one ? Or any other ip cam lately ? cheers.

What is funny for me is that most people pretend to care about environment, sea life, etc...

Most of you have kids and just do nothing but pretending.

I don't have kids, don;'t care the environment, sea life or anything, but at least I do not pretend like the rest of the world...

I sniff them all the time, I love it, is it a crime ?

I am so happy when Thai meet stupidity abroad.

So sad that is cannot be a chance for them to understand their own...

Average Thai person speaks 3 languages and many Thai people speak more.  Average Farang getting ready for winter speaks one language.

It is difficult for us Farang conditioned to think that tropical people are less than us when in fact Thais have quite a bit more language ability than the Average Westerner.  My wife speaks Thai, Khmer, Lao, (a local  language), Korean and English and she is not uncommon among the educated people she works with.  It's nice to mimic all the anti English sentiment and many Thais have a problem with English although all the hookers in Pattaya do OK with a number of foreign languages. 

Central Thai	mbf	60 million
Isan	tts	23 million
Northern Thai	nod	6 million
Southern Thai	sou	4.5 million
Northern Khmer	kxm	1.4 million
Yawi	mfa	1 million

Your most funny sentence:

My wife speaks Thai, Khmer, Lao, (a local  language), Korean and English and she is not uncommon among the educated people she works with. 

no comment. you said enough :-)

I go to the local government medical clinic here in rural Khampaeng Phet every couple of months to get my ingrowing toenail trimmed, and 2 of the nursing staff, one male and 1 female ask me to teach them more English than they already know.

 

The same thing happens in the bigger village health clinic where I go for a medicinal herbal massage.

 

I guess my experiences must be different than others.

 

They do have a pride in their work and they are damn good at it too.

 

What annoys me most about some posters is that they have a bad experience with some Thais and then class ALL Thais as the same. They are lazy, have no pride, don't care etc. To quote ezzra

 

"didn't care much about learning a craft, sticking and being loyal to one job, not saving or planning for the future , spending monies they don't have, living from day to day, sometimes working sometimes not, no self discipline and pride and what they do."

 

That can apply to a lot of people in a lot of countries in the west as well but I haven't seen many people knocking them back.

 

Back in the mid to late 1990s when I worked for Motorola building mobile phone sites for DTAC I used to have a driver and he would work any hours I would ask him to, book my hotels for me and look after me while we were on the road 5 days a week all over Issan.

 

At the weekends he would give up his own time to drive me around, take me home if I was drunk etc. In 1997 after the Tom Yam currency crisis Motorola lost the contract and as our contacts expired we moved on. When we found out I told him to find another job asap and I would get by with another driver but he refused, carried on as my driver and took me to the airport on my last day.

 

I have seen him around a few times since not not since I lived up here.

 

He was a good driver and loyal to me. He gained my trust and I repaid him with mine.

 

There are many Thais like him around and a lot of them can size you up and figure out if you deserve respect and loyalty. If they think you do it will be repaid by them in spades.

Really funny that you accuse others to think that their life is the truth but look at you, not even able to understand that what you teach to anyone, they will forget it the next day.

My post office people also ask me to teach them words that they forget the next hour, and this is not my life, this is the truth for most, and the simple evidence is how good people in this country are at English.

What are you evidence ? your nurse is able to remember 1 word that you taught her ?

Really, you are still shocked by anything in this country ? you are not 43 anymore... you should know by now !

The reason is that before you could sign up with a school, get the visa and a 1 year extension of stay, and never see the inside of a classroom.

 

The immigration bosses have, for several years, been clamping down on people using ED visas/extensions as a way to stay here. It is still possible, but it's harder and not viable unless a genuine student. It is certainly harder than it was 6 years ago and I think there is little chance that someone could live here for the next 6 years as a student to Thai.

So what he is saying is right ! if you attend classes you can study and live here as long as you want !

Here's a link to the link: https://www.getyourguide.com/hua-hin-l911/hua-hin-to-koh-phangan-high-speed-catamaran-transfers-t63355/

 

" Take the worries out of your travel in Thailand with an express transfer from Hua Hin to Koh Phangan. Ride by bus in air-conditioned comfort to Chumphon. Cruise further to Phangan by catamaran with drop-off at Thong Sala Pier. "

 

It's advertized on the Internet but who knows if it really exists. There is a Thai flag on the stern, so at least the catamaran exists. The cost is over 1000 baht.

It OF COURSE does now exist. Its a bus from hua him and a boat from chumpon of course.

Oh dear!....another one who obviously has not seen many of the quiet beaches on Samui.... 

People rarely need to get out and travel around more before making statements like this. . 

 

 

Visited every single beach of every single island in this country, enough for you to understand?

The day when you will have seen as many beaches as me in the world come again to talk please.

What are you asking here?  I can't understand your sentence.  Is English your second language?

 

Do you mean you mean you wonder why I still dive here if the sea life is ridiculous?  How is it ridiculous? 

 

A lot of the coral reefs are damaged by boats, people and pollution, together with climate change to some degree.  I still like to see the beautiful fish and life that still exists... and I don't damage it, pollute the sea, or pick things up from the seabed to take selfies with. 

Yes its my second language as intelligence is yours it seems.

There is nothing to see in Thailand sea, but keep diving if you like it.

This response seems very strange to me.  The guy is telling you it is there. Why would you disbelieve him?  It is there. It is just south of Petchaburi, and as he says it is semi-permanent.  I have been through it many times, but never been stopped (cars in front and behind have). I also know someone that has been tested there.  

I don't believe people who think that what they say is true...

Acter checking it is OF COURSE a usual roadblock where they check 1% of the cars, so I wonder how many got tested for drugs in people dreams ?

I feel nothing for you but really sad for your kids, and you are responsible to have chosen her as Mom. Don't tell me that she comes from an educated family with money. OF COURSE NOT. So she had the perfect background to end this way and you chose her...

At 5am on an empty stretch of highway you'll find 140 is the speed most are doing. I hate having a55holes in fortunas tailgaiting my a55 so I just keep ahead of them. If you want to battle along in the middle lane with them driving all around you.. Up to you. As for cruise control ...No thanks I prefer to pay attention and drive. 

You are perfectly right, and even if I am not sure that others are wrong, for me they are, and I often drive from 4am to 8am. The best time to move quickly in this country.

If I drive at night on a highway with 120, I find that hardly anybody overtakes me. So no, 140 is not a very common speed.

 

I find cruise control assisting me in keeping my attention focused on the road and other users in stead of other things. Each to his own.

People who really know what driving means drive after 4am before stupid mom who knows nothing and makeup when driving wakeup. Most people driving at 4am know what they are doing and drive over 120. They never block me on the right lane and see me from far away even if I drive at 180.

This is my experience, it might be wrong also, but what I am sure is that yours is perfectly wrong.

What is wrong with driving at 120Kph ...stick it in 'cruise' and forget...

It seems that you never drove a real car ? Not a Jap metallic box i mean... In a 2016 Benz if you set the cruise speed at 120 you sleep in less than 10 minutes...

I agree that when you all start a real life visit north and north east of kohphangan and you will know what is a quiet beach. samui was quiet at some places 10 years ago. If you still think that it is, sorry but it really means that you know nothing.

2 millions are nothing, she will get few months if you can pay them at the end.

If you do not pay she will get year or years, and as you do not want your kids mom behind bars you will pay.

If you really want to escape the whole shat, move to Cambodia !
