interesting development. Except for weekly Gem market, Chanthaburi very undeveloped tourist wise, but it is a nice friendly town.

I don't think anyone will get rich by Western standards opening an internet shop, they seem to do it for work permits, or give an illusion of legitimacy to obtain travel visa's for thai gf's !

whereever they do hold it again, there will be a lot of squidgy arse's worrying about if there will be trouble again

I wonder if anyone (with a dog) has had a similar experience. I was walking my dog in my neighbourhood when a Thai lady requested that I walked elsewhere becasue her neighbour's dogs, who are NEVER walked, go beserk everytime I go pass and thus become a noise nuisance to the neighbours. I agreed to do so less frequently and wlak elsewhere whe I could as she was polite about it, although I did think I was on a public road and she should actually take it up with her neighbour with the nuisance dogs.

Anyway, I still sometimes walk past that house, becasue it is just convenient. Alas, the owner of the nuisance dogs (a farang) came out and proceeded to shout abuses and obscenities. Now, surely a farang should know better especially when it is his own dogs who are out of control whereas mine was meekly on leash next to me without a sound?

On another occassion, a dog escaped from another house and approached aggressively. Owner did nothing except to call to no avail as the dog came dangerously close with lots of snarling and teeth bared. Only in self defense did I then strike out at the dog with a stick. This was after a lot of shouting at it and trying to scare it away (not sure what language it understood). I apologised to the owner but she went beserk (understandably I guess) but hey, it was her dog who attacked. Again the issue was "don't walk your dog here".

So I guess my question is: do responsible dog owners (who pick up poo, walk their dogs and ensure they are not a nuisance to anyone else) have any rights with regards walking a dog in your own neighbourhood or are we just meant to lock them in our own yards till they become neurotic barkers or exhibit other antisocial behaviour for lack of exercise? Any ideas where to walk a dog in peace; I am not scared of soi dogs as they seem to be less of a threat than humans!

What projects are K-Tech currently working on ?

I know why Thai's walk SLOW.......

They have already served five years so should be freed. Its only a bit of dope

20KG'S is a lot, no excuses about personal use here. It's not just the fact it's a drug, but we have a set of rules in society we have to live by, if everyboby broke them at their leisure there would be anarchy !

this is a sad story, the guy obviously needs physical and mental help. Most Australian's i meet are a "hardy" bunch. I see a lot of people working their life to save up and live in LOS, but aspire to something higher then IDC.

the Thai authorities great at releasing these attention grabbing headlines, forgive me if i'm cynical that many farang customers will be getting free rooms -

look for the least busy Go-Go, you will always get a cold beer there !

there is always a stall outside the entrance to Big C, north Pattaya

lot of thai girls choose to work in Farang customer bars because they have ended a bad relationship with thai man,

their mistake is believing the Farang man is necessarily any better

my local laundry is good, the only problem is they occasionally eat one of my socks. I give them pairs everytime, but get the odd single one back !!!

Second question was, having the radio on in the background will this affect my download speed much ?

Two questions:

First, i bought internet SIM in Tukcom today, 200 baht valid for only 20 days, (300 baht was 1 month). Is this normal, why is the credit not valid for 1 year ?

cheers OP, very handy

take a Songtaew ride in the afternoons at your own risk - you are a SITTING target !!

usual madness.........let's fire a jet of water at someone riding a scooter carrying passengers & shopping !

If you don't ask you don't get ! Make an offer if you're interested.

I have to agree, I have even started wearing a suit and tie to bed just in case I kick the bucket during the night! Seriously - this is plain wrong in any context

that is so funny !

Seriously, I think Howard puts himself in a conflict of interest on the one hand wanting to report salacious new items, then on the other wanting to help those in distress.

Today there's police along every Soi on Second Rd from Tops to Dolphin roundabout. Security guards in Central have long handled mirrors too checking vehicles entering the Mall.

Goog to the see the B-I-B not showing any favoritism.

Generally avoid Tony's after they put their already expensive drinks, up 50% on New Year's Eve.

Every minute someone comes round pestering you to buy flowers, popcorn, snacks etc, or stuffing the Cocktail menu under the nose of girl's with Farang who are too timid to say no.

judging by chitchat on other forums, it seems they overstepped the mark broadcasting a live "show" over the internet.

Hence, temporary closure, new name and having to transfer licences etc.

Interesting the way the authorities are judge, jury &executioner as to what is acceptable or not. But it is their game, they set the rules.
