It's rare because the level of humidity can easily lead to mould especially if the carpet gets wet.

What noise are you subject to? Is it your own (downstairs complaining about loud music) or somebody else's

Agreed.Cambodia is developing by leaps and bounds.

Well they don't seem to be confining themselves to banning street vendors just from the upmarket areas. Saphan Kwai has been 'Singaporised' too, with many of the street vendors told to p*ss off and big signs put up saying "Thank you for not making a living on this street" or something.
 
How hypocritical can Prayut get, basking in the plaudits for Bangkok's street food while simultaneously doing all he can to eradicate it, and those who produce it? By the time he's finished, Bangkok will just be one endless shopping mall with no colour, no soul and nothing to recommend it. People will stay away in droves because there will be no reason to visit, apart from the odd temple. And he'll probably encase those in glass and charge farang rates to look at them. It will be Milton Keynes on steroids.
 
Another one of those fools who, in the immortal words of Oscar Wilde, knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. A military moron devoid of imagination.

3495 baht for 6 days electric.

 

Are you paying the bill for the entire resort?

 

We run:

borehole pump

irrigation pump

house pump

pool pump

aircon

lighting (house & road in)

 

2,800 baht per month.

I had a wealthy stock broker staying in my condo bangkok, with electricity at 7 baht /unit

Every month was over 10k ...2 units 24 btsu at least one running 24/7, he didn't even flinch

Dumb move! You basically accused them of criminal activity by leaving that note

What were you thinking?

 
Yes, I tend to buy the better imported olive oil in BigC when they have special offers. But the 180B/litre no-name Makro olive oil tastes just fine when used in low temperature cooking. They usually have two or three types, including a very pale "light" sort. I get the so-called virgin one, though I'm not sure how true that description is.
 
Another option would be the 5 litre containers in Makro as these are much cheaper per litre than the 1 litre bottles but are often quite well-known brands. Would take me a while to get through 5 litres though.

Bloody 'ell! I thought I had overdone it buying 4 bottles......

Lets u sit in a gogo without order a drink hahaja thats a good one..

 
I think this happens to most if not all oils. Going for a high smoke point should mean that there is less in the way of bad changes happening at normal cooking temperatures. At my age I worry less about long-term health effects anyway though rice bran does have the supposed advantage of being good for cholesterol.
 
Olive oil is certainly no good for high temperature cooking as it soon just tastes burnt, regardless of any health aspect. Nice for home-baking ciabatta though.

 

Turn t up.

the main world counties you refer to are bombing Syrian women and children in their homes daily, before it was Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Laos etc etc. No protection there.

 

Do you really think some story about an Indian in a Pattaya nightclub who claims he was attacked by ten men, but with no obvious wounds, is really significant or will even be remembered in a month.

 

This story has as much credablity as the fake Irishmens claims that the Thai van driver stole his money and beat him up. The Irishmen made it up and so did this Indian. And even if it was true, it was Indian verses Indian anyway. 

 

The thais do an excellent job controlling the thousands of drunken idiots on walking street night after night. For such an alcohol fueled zone it is very safe. Idiots are dealt with swiftly.and very effectively. 

IT is remarkable really. I have been a regular visitor to walking street since before it was even walking street. I have never seen Thais starting trouble, but when needed they certainly know how to finish it and keep it safe for the happy partygoers.

 

And yes they all unite at the drop of a hat and work as a team when required, which is the best way to deal with out of control drunks, drug affected fools and general trouble making idiots who can't control their excitement, unlike in the "main world" countries where bystanders are too scared to get involved.

Interesting experience with Indians at a gogo the other night. They were allowed to sit there with no drinks which I thought was incredibly generous. But give them an inch and they take a mile, so one of them started discretely taking pics... Got busted and were immediately set up on by the lady staff screaming at them to delete the pictures this went on for 10 minute's while he refused to hand over his phone at which point the door man strode in, grabbed him by the hair and dragged him outside.

I nearly cheered lol

But the headline will read Indians bashed at gogo

Much of the crappie news on TV is only one sided.. Stupid farang take the bait every time

how naive

 

have you read any Thai history?

I live in lower Sukhumvit and have seen the last 2 coups. I can tell you about modern history I saw it all.

What would you like to know?

My guess is you were not there and rely on internet research. Correct?

When farang see what they don't want to see, hear what they don't want to hear they turn to conspiracy to justify their logic

Lets not forget the military placed soldiers in civilian gear to instigate riots lol that's a good one

I second the above

It is time for the main world countries give strong warnings to their citizens about Thailand being unsafe with no Police authority to protect them. Then Thailand may do something. But another big dream.

Since the 1930s The LOS army has ALWAYS been in charge of the country.The people have been kept in the dark about any rights or their importance via controlled education and news media..It is and has never been the people of LOS fault as how their government is ran.With the military  always in charge it might be close to being called "A Benevolent Dictatorship".

 
Yes, it's all the fault of those pesky peasants.
 
 

The thai people have only themselves to blame for a failed democracy.

Don't blame the junta if thais are not ready to accept democracy.

Grow up thailand and accept who has been elected and only then will the military stop intervening

Speed and bald tires

wow, and I thought the original idea was to stick around a few months and have an election. Just goes to show how past junta's and Mr T really stuffed the system up? And this crew had a bite of the cherry once before and got it wrong. Lucky they can't be attacked for any misdeeds as they wrote this into their new laws. The untouchables are just making sure the true minority will govern for years to come.

Huh? No way a few months would diffuse the political tinder box. How did you think that would work?

Just waltz in and waltz out and everything gonna be OK. Nieve to Say the least.

How does posting comment on a forum for foreigners constitute "meddling"?
 
The US is full of "visitors" (illegals actually), by the million, who have no qualms whatsoever about expressing THEIR negative comments (and being a whole lot more in-your-face about it and doing a whole lot more than innocuous posting on member forums!).  So what exactly is your problem here?  Just the usual tired, lame, self-righteous, oh-what-a-good-boy-am-I, love-it-or-leave-it rant?
 
Maybe if you don't like what you're reading, YOU should be the one to consider moving on...
 
 

You can move to England and complain as much as you want about the government / system of governance with my blessing. That is exactly the way it should be.
 
How exactly am I meddling in Thai affairs by commenting on an English language forum just as you are?
 
You suspect I don't live here. Yeeeaah... You see how on my profile it says 'Location: Chumphon'? It just so happens that Chumphon happens to be in Thailand. Now off you go to make a solemn report about me to the Due Authorities for writing something you don't agree with. Or try hitting the 'Report' button on here and see if that comes up trumps.
 
I notice you made no mention of Thai dissidents who are in jail for simply voicing their objections. The hell with them, eh?

Thailand is not ready for true democracy. It will take more than 20 years for this country to mature enough to simply accept the outcome of a democratically elected government. Junta may as well just stay.

talks cheap whisky cost money, if these 2 guys come knocking at your door late one night i wonder if you would be so brave???????????

Attractive? DId you leave out the un?

 

serious question, because unless they got a new mamasun,  while I agree she is excellent at her job, she is an absolute shocker.

 

Thanks for confirming what I already know. I think Striderman may be a little confused. Sounds like a troll actually, trying to keep this fake story going. I doubt he lives in Pattaya. Or maybe he is just blind.

 

i am surprised Thaivisa actually come up with this stuff, they must know it is krap.

Is it that you believed the recent statement by the new head of the Pattaya police maybe? 

Best you go and have a look for yourself, f you actually live in Pattaya, which I doubt.

Suger babies is about 300 meters on the left on walking street. Just want to make sure I got the right one.

Attractive slim for a her age , pretty face about 40.

She has been there at least 6 months that I have been going.

Absolutely not your regular fat assed shocker mamason

Suger babies last night. The mamason who is attractive got drunk and stripped naked while dancing around the tables, the girls were screaming with laughter

And then she got in the shower and was handed an empty bottle of champaign.. Which she raped her self with lol

Walking St alive and well!

Humpty dumpty on the left looks like he wouldn't be able to get up if knocked over without a crane.

Nothing scary about these guys, just fat pieces of shit
