  1. I agree with Dave, on many other forums I am much more open about who I am, post pics of myself etc etc. But I feel here it's just too risky as some people have too much free time and too much negativity and are willing to try to make people's lives full of trouble. No specific names, but just a general lack of community. Which is funny since I have met many wonderful expats in real life here. Oh well, I will just continue on as always.

  2. Don't see the point to rag on this. I will admit that all the walen posts/ads are a bit annoying, but I'm not forced to buy their product, use their services, or even read their threads. There is a market for expats wanting to learn dance, you can see that on salsa dance nights at second floor. Filling a need etc etc, if their services were truly horrid, they wouldn't still be in business. I am serious about the swing, if they offer it, I'll try it out, if it's enjoyable, they'll get my money.

  3. I visited home in April so I bought it there.

    But, I did see some silvers for sale at a shop here in CM, if I remember correctly, they were about 2,000B more than they were in the US.

    If you pick one up, look up Wasabi batteries, they are better, longer lasting and 1/2 the price of the official ones. After all was said and done I think i dropped $480 on the camera, 2 wasabi batteries, an extra mount, and a 32gb card.

    DO NOT BUY A SANDISK CARD FOR THE HERO 3 they cause or have caused a ton of errors in the cameras.

    My GF is up this weekend visiting from BKK, we might head out to Nan, if not this weekend, the next. I hope to take video.

    I have it mounted on top of my helmet, as I could not mount it on the side without wither having the helmet in shot or having so many kinks and knobs that I was worried that the wind would rip it off.

  4. Music, motorcycles, cars, art (painting, sculpting, metalwork, drawing, and other crafts), politics, religion, travel, food, sports, history, architecture, exercise, conservation, meditation, movies, relationships, family, business, education, fashion design and textiles, and a myriad of other topics are what I talk about with my Thai friends and my girlfriend. The problem is lumping an entire population into one category based on a poor sampling.

  5. Sadly informing the Somchais in brown that if the kid died his spirit would come back to haunt them would have made them more likely to let you help rather than informing them the proper proceedure.

    Bunch of ignorant <deleted> in this country, but there are many who know what to do and when to do it.

  6. I was told no.

    I was leaving for Nepal on 20/3, back in on 28/3 and back out to the US on 30/3 and back in on 22/4

    I had to buy a multiple, a pain in the ass since my Visa is up at the end of the month, and therefore my multiple reentry is as well.

    I plan on leaving about 5 more time before March 2014, if the reentry visa lasted a year, it would have been a good deal...

  7. If it's a commonly tuned vehicle, using a canned tune is fine.

    I got a handheld for my mustang in the states, listed my mods. They gave me an email with the file, I connected it via USB, uploaded the tunes and then transferred them to my mustang. 30mins and I had gained quite a few extra ponies (had headers back and a bump to 89octane) and a higher redline. One of the best mods ever, and any future mods I would email them and they would send me a new tune.

  8. you dont even need to knock down KSK, just renovate the inside. The location is great and that dirt parking lot in the back near HK residence can become a future MRT stop (hey, If I can dream about a massive reno, why not push the dream a bit?).

  9. I bought a Honda Nice to scavange for the engine, brakes, and a few other pieces to build one of my Chalys. I bought it off a guy but the bike was registered to a lady, however I have the paperwork with her info, signatures, and copies of her ID's included. Is it something like my situation?

    (I stripped the bike before transferring my name and now only have a pile of parts in the corner to show the tax people, so no transferring haha)

  10. I was going to see it, GF saw it when I was visiting home and said the only funny parts were in the trailer and it was normal brain dead humor, so I skipped it.

    However, since my name is Mark and I am from the US, reciting the line about name pronunciation continues to get big laughs from Thais...
