Hi,

I arrive in BKK at 9.00pm Next Tuesday,can anyone tell me whether the foreign exchange booth will be open at this time?

Cheers

They are cheqating bastards and dont trust their scales

TROLL

There are actually a lot of Nigerians now in Vietnam as well,mostly though,in Saigon.But suffice to say because of their somewhat dubious business dealings the Viets dont want them

Its one of the more immoral laws that im being sentenced for, but i dont want to say what. to do with some herbs that coincidentally grow wild in thailand

I will definitely ask about it being deferred, but I cant see me being able to dictate to the court when i do my sentence, i will ask

It seems i may be stopped at the airport on my return. that is something i really dont want to happen.... il ask a legal advice line for more info on this.

thanks

I'm sure the CPS, will be more than happy to accomdate your holiday, as a part of your community service they may even through in an adventure holiday as part of your rehabilitation, so you wont even need to worry.

If you skip it, you are going you are going down, and quite rightly. Community serive orders are an alrenative to being sentenced to jail, so if you do up sticks and leave, on your return you will be locked up.

As for the index offence,however much you feel hard done by, and don't agree with themorality of it, you have broken a law which is pretty clear. The courts have pretty clear guidelines on sentencing, so you should have been aware of this. I'm guessing you pleaded guilty at the magistrates court, rather than electing for trial at a crown court?

If the sentence is in relation to "herbs" I guess that it's more likely for intent to supply, rather than personal use.

Stay in the UK please.

Toady,

Per chance where you drunk when you wrote this ,as it lacks your usual fluency

Steps,

I cant comment on Thailand as i live in Vietnam,but i suspect,i know roughly what is going on your head in regards to the UK,as i have recently moved lock stock and barrel over here.I too was totally dis-satisfied with my old life in the UK,you know,to me,there just was no stimulous any longer to stay and i seriously lacked motivation and ambition to remain.What i would say to you as we are similar in age(well im 38 a tad older )is the old adage follow your heart,sometimes,it knows more than your head.Life is what you make it,you create your own luck,and if you are serious(as i suspect you are),just do it.Sure there will be problems along the way,but if you have drive and resiliance,you will cope with these.

Practically,if at all poss,dont burn your bridges back home(as i have,but financially i had too)and try to keep a house/flat there.Dont close your bank accounts and if you are still in employment leave with a good relationship as you never know things mat not work out,but digressing,as i said if you have enough motivation hopefully you can negate this possability.

Anyhow,i shall leave it now to the Thai heads to advise you,but,good luck mucker,i hope things work out for you

Mate,

I shall put this as delicatly as i can,who the fuc_k do you think you are???You know your post has angered me more than any i can recall for a long time and how the OP must feel after you writing that he is going to lose his family,your words in essence.Get a grip fella,you appear to think you have intelligence that i suspect is grossly overestimated on your part.You in reality have no idea what is happening in the OP,s family situation other than what and i agree he has foolishly posted on the net.This beside you have no business in casting wild aspertions.I must ask why you felt the need to write your posinous piece,did it make you feel importand?Is perhaps your own life so empty and shallow you have to fill this void by predicting the ruination of some-bodys family.I wish sometimes people would maybe try to consider others feelings on this forum,you know,its not a fuc_king game!

Rant over

Wow. That's one of the biggest spaz outs I've read for a while. Nice work.

Cheers

FAQ

Will you tell us the website details?

Ans: NO

[/font][/size]

I cannot, for the life of me understand why you and your wife did not try to help your sister in law and her husband if they needed money badly. After all, you must have spent a fair bit tracking and "talking" to her online?

You then went ahead and told her brothers, why? what did you expect them to do, or say!!

This is Thailand and you have opened a can of worms and done untold harm within the family, for which I believe you will pay dearly, in the coming months and years.

They are both CONSENTING ADULTS and you should never have got involved.

Why did your wife not speak to her sister and keep you and her other brothers out of it?.

I think your wife and sister in law have issues and your wife has used you to get one over on her sister.

I think out of the two sisters, your brother in law got the best deal, as your wife seems to control you and pull your strings like a puppet.

If the English on the web site was good, I suspect she had been getting a lot of help from another English speaking member of the family, who is rather to close to home for comfort.

As for your reference to her being well educated and "upper class" what the he*l has that got to do with it!

Do you think that these attributes stop them enjoying sexual activities, that Millions of other people around the World enjoy. Get Real !!!

I cannot think why you copied parts of the web site to your computer, after all you only had to tell her that you knew what she was doing, so why copy and save what you call "such activities". I have my thoughts on that one.

Excuse me for pointing out that you have been a fool and have been used by your wife. I give you 1 chance in a 100 that you will remain part of this family for longer than six months.

Good luck but start checking the cost of one ticket on a one way flight home.

Mate,

Happy Christmas Toady and all City fans.Dont despair we are going to come good 2009 i guarantee it.C.T.I.D.!!!

I have taken ALL my GBP out of Uk and exchanged into VND,got a shit rate 25.122,however,that is going too slide more methinks and i intend setting up a business here within the next month and hence will be fully reliant on the Vietnam Dong which too be honest is in a much better state than the GBP and indeed i suspect Vietnam although will become affected by the Credit crunch will not suffer anywhere near as badly as most places and i would go as far as saying i think its well placed so im happy.....

Anyone-

As of Saturday 6th December myself,wife,and daughter shall cease being residents of the UK as we are emigrating to my wifes home country Vietnam.With it being so close now im feeling curiously detatched from the situation and actually quite calm.I really have no intention of ever returning and thus i thought i would have felt perhaps a tinge of sadness leaving Northern Ireland but i really dont,im just really excited about the prospect of building a new life.So,to those who have all-ready made the move can you recall how you were feeling?What was your predominant emotion?

cheers

6 years - not long enough I would think to call any country away from that in which you grew up in to be called home.

Try 15 or 20years - when the contacts from "back home" have moved on, when parents have passed on and brothers/sisters have married and emmigrated.... and whatever else it is that "connects" you to back "home".

The less of those contacts and connections there are to your country of birth and where you grew up, there are, the more easy you are going to be able to call your adopted country "home".

Its a transitional thing that takes many many years to embbed in your mind.

Maizefarmer,

I think this is a very good assesment of what truly makes a place home oppossed to being in a transitionary period.

I'm originally from Northern Ireland where I grew up and lived for a couple of decades before moving to England for quite a few years. Strangely enough I feel more at home in Thailand now after 9/10 years than I ever did in England and certainly can't imagine ever living back in NI again. Having a Thai wife and kids though may well play a big part in "feeling at home"

Hey Judas

Im from Northern Ireland as well,Belfast,were do you hail from originally?

This question has probably been asked before but reading Garro,s latest topic regarding whether you are happy to spend the rest of your life in Thailand he stated that despite living there for 6 years it still does not feel like home and it got me wondering if others feel the same.So if you have lived in Thailand or anywhere else,i myself,am emigrating too Vietnam for good on Saturday with my family,for say a period of over 2 years do you feel truly at home or do you feel still like you are a foreigner?

Rang Mahal at the Rembrandt Hotel (two entrances: Suk.18+20) ; fantastic, especially for Sunday brunches.

For me quite simply the best Indian restauarant in Bkk and ive tried a lot!!

Thanks all for your advise,but bugger it,ive decided to book a hotel,wife is going to go ape shit but what the hel_l ,anyhow,got a good deal methinks 50 quid for double room in Jurys

Wife and Daughter ?

Sorry mate, just get a room and be safe and comfortable.. plenty of airport hotels

Totster

Totster,

Totally agree and thats what i want to do,however,my wife is Vietnamese and mean as hel_l with money and well anything for a quiet life,we,ve all-ready had many arguments over it!!!

Why sleep?

Surely it would be better to get leathered in an airport pub and then crash out on the plane.

That's what I would do anyway, but yeah, sure you can sleep if it is preferable to a good piss up.

Dont think my wife and 5 year old daughter would appreciate that greatly

Bummer.

Hope you have a good flight anyway mate.

Perils of marriage mate,but i,ll have a few anyhow....

Cheers fella
