    Gotta larf.

     I'm bored, glad you got a larf.

    Got a reply worth writing?

    6 minutes later update: Congratulations! I joined six hours and six minutes ago, you made it onto my 'ignore' list in record time, keep up the good work!

    The Tom is not lesbian, she gets no sexual gratification from any sexual encounter with the dee, apart from being in complete control.

    The dee has no desire to touch the tom sexually. 

     

    Woah! I'm not trolling here, but isn't this a rather large generalisation? 

    Or do you know an asexual-lesbian couple?

    I indirectly know a Dee/Tom couple, I will ask my girl to ask them , if it is appropriate, for their take.

    You're possibly describing a facet of 'asexualism' people who just don't get a charge from sex, the ones I read about were heterosexuals, they have an even harder time of any other social subgroup finding companionship, because, of course, we all need love to thrive.

    Interested to hear more about your thoughts and how you came to make this statement. On reflection, it sounds like some sort of sexual tension power thing with no tenderness, ever. A bit of a forlorn existence, but as a barstool pervert, who am i to judge

    The gentrification of Bangkok is underway but it is a huge mistake. Why go to Bangkok if it looks like New York or London. Already tourists are giving it a pass because there is nothing unusual about it. Street vendors give Bangkok a flavor that other cities do not have. The powers to be are killing the golden goose.

     Bangkok, even in the current climate, Ok maybe not THIS season, but for some recent time, is one of the most popular city tourist destinations in the world. Even I go there for breaks, and I live in the Kingdom.

     

    It would be a bigger mistake, a disgrace in fact, if bangkok remained looking like a medieval village fair with all the money sloshing around in Thailand in 2016.

     

    It may have 'character' but if you had to run one of the crappy stalls, or eat in the street for most of your working life, I'm sure you'd tire of the grime, heat noise, and filth, and there is no reason to think ordinary Thais are up for eating their dinner in the diesel fumes if they were given an affordable option to move into Singapore style food courts, still in the open air, but away from the dirt and chaos.

     

     

  4. It depends, doesn't it?

    To get a meaningful quote, you'd want to see the materials used in a job already done, get the owners honest feedback, and then see if you could get that tradie, or someone of a similar skill and price level.

    Homepro prices are gonna be pretty universal, and you can keep your receipts etc in case of issues.

    A tradesman in BKK may likely cost more than one in Udon, etc etc.

    VIDEO REMOVED TO RESPOND: This clown paid for everyone again .. 

    Fair play, he invited them!

    He's happy to pay, and can afford it.

    The debate is about when etiquette becomes a 'piss take' of being shoehorned into feeding the five thousand, vs only those one has invited.

    Oh, and it was you, sam, who started it!

    it is not a scam, it is about making poor choices in the first place.

    how is her trying to get a night out with freinds on your ticket any different than you hoping for a night between the sheets for the cost of a chang and a bowl of noodles ?

     

    You do have a point, up to a point. But it's pointless pointing out the points, point-by-point, as we may end up with getting into a rather pointless, pointed exchange.

    Expect crime to accelerate from massive loss of small mom and pop Soi businesses throughout all of Thailand.

     

    Most women over 40, can't get jobs because of their age and cook or sell fruit along the Sois.  With little to no money what can they do?

     

    The cheap food in the Sois will disappear and the food in rented spaces will no doubt cost more.

     

    Many Thais and foreign laborers can only afford the inexpensive Thai Soi cooking.

     

    I hope demonstrations don't start with violence to follow like in Europe, the U.S. and other countries.

     

    This news makes me very sad...

     

    Cleaning up the sidewalks does not mean shutting down the market vendors, it means cleaning up the sidewalks!

     

    Of course, many projects here are half-arsed, so they will move the vendors, but not create attractive designated areas for them to ply their trades legally and safely in a win-win scenario, TiT sadly.

    On another thread the OP mentioned he left Thailand on Nov 11th. Is it possible he forgot a re entry permit for the under consideration period, which resulted him getting in on a visa exempt upon returning before Nov 16th? Reason would dictate they would at least allow him to stay until that permission would end though. Then again, if he is working here with a workpermit, he would be doing those things illegally the moment he wasn't on a non-o, non-b or extension of stay anymore, in this case when he arrived back into Thailand. 

     

    All of this would be cited by immigration if it were so, he has had his lawyer talking to them!

    No dice.

    I'd be worried if it had come to that.

    It sounds as though the OP was running several businesses in Thailand without having a business visa!

     

    Agree it not all that bright to broadcast his impressive entrepreneurial skills without the correct visa, what is interesting is they would have jumped on him for this, one would have thought, if it is the reason.

    Given that's not happened, I am sticking with my assessment that he got the wrong guy on the day who decided he didn't like the guys turnout and/or attitude.

    Apologies for the quality, this is the sign outside an immigration office in Division 1, I think things are gradually becoming less 'sabai' than in days bygone, whatever one thinks of 'dressing up' when in Rome...

  10. Sing kwat yai now THB 60 even in Thai 'soi shops'.

    So now I know from the observant OP that they're all onto the 'Toblerone' scam, I'll go back to Singha.

    Chang is not to my taste, but the headache is the dealbreaker, I'd rather pay a few bath extra to enjoy my beer at the time, and the morning after as well.

    Leo is for locals, not meaning to be impolite, what i mean is I think it is brewed to be drunk with ice, as that's the only way I can drink it as well.

    Street vendors are the only thing that give BKK any character. I know they can make walking around difficult, but they add colour to an otherwise drab city.

     

    They are a safety hazard, they create traffic problems in a city where traffic is probably the number one issue, they are all paying criminal gangs to 'rent' public space, they attract vermin, and one could call Bangkok many things, but 'drab' is not one of them, if anything this shambles is a blight more suited to Hogarth's London.

     

    I agree that form a social justice perspective, most are doing what they can to get by, and their response should be to organise and petition for legitimate space just as stallholders do the world over, including other developed Asian nations.
