Humpy

 Live with the pretty girl for a while, check her background, why is she still single , does she gamble, does she smoke , how is her English and where did she learn it !? Spend time in her village, take her to visit your homeland. Does she tick all the 'other' boxes that you desire !?  Its not always love at first sight and any well traveled gent should soon make the right decision as to prolonging the friendship or not. 

I'm one of the lucky ones and have been married to my 'pretty girl' for 20 years.

As they say 'you make your own luck in life' .

 No doubt the PM's TV chat  will include comment on this situation together with his request for Thailand to be seen as a family holiday destination and not a resort for naughty ,seedy, sex for sale ,scamming taxi drivers , streets and beaches strewn with rubbish. I still prefer Thailand to Swindon though. 

I trust that the hairy leg in the foreground of the pic of the lady in blue shirt , is not hers !! 

I'm just wondering what Pattaya would have to offer the foreign tourists if you stop the go-go bars and the like. Certainly not the beaches and Ripley's is hardly a magnate for the tourists.  Most tourists are foreign Mr PM. .....perhaps you need to travel the World a bit more rather than a trip to some foreign part for a 5 minute chat and then back home before things could get out of hand !!

I have friends who have Marriage Visas.

OK if you don't mind regular visits from Immigration to see if you're still married, have your house photographed ,are you still living there..

 Why not try one of the Visa 'shops' for a retirement Visa. ''No capital, no income ,no problem...give us a call''      !!!!!!

I remember my grandmother putting up the Xmas decorations and asking me , aged 8 and my sister 6, to go and ask the village vicar for some holly which grew in abundance at the vicarage.  We knocked on the rectory door and  were greeted with ''Go away ''  before we could even ask !! 

That , my friends, is the reason why I have managed to live for 60 years without any invisible means of support ?

And the 101 on the seaward side of Walking Street are still standing.

Perhaps the bus driver had a curtain across the lower half of his screen. That , together with perhaps a massive bunch of ecclesiastical nick knacks hanging from the windscreen frame and three  years of expired road tax stickers could have blocked out part of his field of view........ but then of course his brakes could have failed. 

How about spending the money on state of the art garbage trucks instead of a submarine ? !!

Take a stroll past the roadside market on South Pattaya road and see the local traders stamping the fish heads and entrails through the road drains with a well aimed flipflop ....... not to mention the broken wicker baskets brimming with rubbish that one has to step into the road to avoid.

Take a look at the 'sidewalk' restaurants around Pattaya. The cafe on the corner of Pattaya 2nd road and soi Diana has  erected a wall along the kerb so as to give more seating  !!! 

'SCB research centre predicts 650,000 jobs taken over by robots in the next 12 years'

A bit like  the 650,000 drones buzzing around delivering the week's groceries !!!

Whenever the election happens and there's no entertainment all the Thais have to do is get a few crates of beer in , get stoned and forget to vote ....simple.

So this chap has been living in Thailand for 30 years. So arriving here aged 32 he had sufficient funds to live on for thirty years. Must have had a good job back home !!

Are the cop's pink shorts part of a new move towards neutral gender uniforms I wonder ?

I wouldn't walk around parts of Swindon after sunset. I lived in Pattaya for 10 years and have been in Isaan for 10 years and have not seen any violence.

Yet another inked up dork........ came here for a 'bike week'...... how jolly of him.  Amazing how a retirement visa can be had at the drop of hat at these 'visa' shops.

Last year a village headman went to ask the parents to get their son to stop making the loud noise with  his motorbike exhaust . The headman was hit on the head by another family member and died. 

Perhaps this is why the village headmen are reluctant to make any attempt to stop the anti social behavior of these brain dead gofers.

The police have no interest in stopping these idiots.  

  Check out the  3 ltr ISUZU range of SUVs first ....... better performance all round .

.... but it's OK to ride a motorbike with three on board , no licence, no insurance , no helmets and silencer with the baffles poked out !!!!....or drive a car with blue front side lights and broken rear light clusters.....  and the list goes on. 

Tourists around the world are going to have second thoughts about visiting  Thailand.  Ban the Go-Go bars and then wait for the drop in tourism revenue. 

No doubt the PM will be raising this very important issue in his weekly TV chat !

Dangerous ? what do you mean dangerous ? !!!!!  

Time for these bus drivers to be sorted out and the kids shown the dangers of hanging on the rear of buses or riding on the roof ! Perhaps a picture of 6 kids in wheelchairs after being crushed by a rear end shunt might make them think twice.    OK, maybe not....... TIT.

 Get rid of tinted widows, ecclesiastical nick-knacks dangling from rear view mirrors , windscreen and rear window stickers of all sorts blocking the drivers view . Rear view mirrors for all motorcycles and only two persons with helmets, on the bike. Road safety instruction in all schools. Better signage at roundabouts well before the roundabout and not on the roundabout ! The reason for the double and broken yellow road makings must be made clear. 

A 15 second TV road safety 'advert' should be shown with clips of idiot drivers and riders ... and the crash results including the mangled and lifeless bodies .

(The TV  road safety tips should not shown during the PM's weekly chat because very few watch it !!)

She is showing less flesh than that which can be seen at the beach or the scantly clad girls outside the go-go bars in Walking street. I'm the PM's weekly TV hit show will include comment on this important issue !

Not doubt the brain dead gofers , roaring around the highways and village roads on their motorbikes with the exhausts cut off, don't fall into the 'hooning' category !

How and where do I apply for an International Driving Licence ?
