When you get the munchies, you just got to feed it.

Them damned roadside noodles are some of the best groceries on Earth.  Right up there w/ sticky rice, som-tam and BBQ yard buzzard.

Am in Florida now and willing to risk life and limb (plus 27 hours of airline nonsense) for them, too many times to count.

I did it all for noodles! I swear!

Probably wearing flip-flops. Mai Pen Rai attitude claims yet another.

RIP Dude...

Brake failed?

Wrong. Beauty is in the eye of the BEER-holder. ????

She's 45. Never heard of Pattaya I'm sure. 

Much like nude beaches in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan, this vile practice never happens.

I'd give 500 baht to see that cop's reaction.

I would have been rolling on the floor...."thanks for making me laugh at          0

0300 hrs today....you little cutie pie".

Tourists, especially western seem to think they have a free pass here.  I have seen many inappropriate behaviors with females over the years working girls or not.

In many countries now it is a crime of sexual assault or worse.  And, big money civil payouts.

Bottom line, keep your hands to yourself unless the exchange is wanted or mutual.

22 years ago, in my fovorite Krung Thep internet cafe....1:30 PM or so. relentlessly molested.

Her hands all up my shorts.

Quite enjoyed it for maybe 2 or 3 days, then it was "CRIMONY! Leave my willie alone for 10 minutes please???"

I never went to the cops though.

Yes. It is assumed after you have struck a deal and hired her for sex that she is a working gal, and is working. Groping is then allowed and encouraged, in private. And that is the only time it is cool. Not on the street, not with a stranger and not even with a working gal, before you are back in the room. Basic respect. 

I totally agree with you my friend. The topic,,,,and Pattaya just made me laugh. Not you.

It's a jungle out there.... for all of us.

Love ya Bro!

It is totally appropriate to grope a working gal, after you have struck a deal, in private. It is then consensual. That was the point I originally made. 

Weeeellll???? Is she "working" or not? To be or not to be. That is the question.

Farang accuses random'tandom chick of grabbing him by the willy while walking down the damned road!

I could go on for days.

Was she working at the Tahitian Queen? I CONFESS!

Guilty as charged, though I DO APPRECIATE all the dancing lessons. Now I can dance.

WOW!,

Hate yo hear such.

My daughter is 16. just learning to drive.

I suppose the crazy's are everywhere though, around the world. Still, sorry to hear about this.

Funny because (supposedly) Kung <deleted> was started in China after an Indian (Buddhist) monk noticed that the Chinese monks were lazy and fell asleep during lessons.

Supposedly he instituted an exercise routine to help the monks get in shape so they could better focus on their learning.

Those routines eventually led to the development of a martial arts style which then spread throughout China as monks migrated from temple to temple over the years. Over the centuries, different styles were developed in different regions of the country until there were dozens, if not hundreds, of different styles as each temple developed their own versions.

I've noticed a lot of monks in Thailand that could benefit from an exercise routine. In Pattaya they are given so much stuff they simply can't eat it all. They have to have people in cars and motos follow them around to carry all the extra food and stuff they get each morning.

Some vital information here.... "He was fully clothed and had sneakers on."

Reminds me of the motorbike driver in Pattaya, that crashed and died while wearing a condom some years back. ????????????

I have known people that own legally bought guns.  They don’t go around committing violence.  
And here people with the so called ego and culture issues are using illegal guns.  From what I see on Thai news programs.  There seems to be quite a bit of gun violence.  For a country where owning a gun is supposedly illegal.  

 

 

Yes.

Oh yeah, cars drive drunk and forks make people fat.

Yes, and risk getting a ticket for "Stopping too suddenly".

Some clown with no insurance T-boned my wife's truck once, speeding, wrong side of the road, no license, no insurance.

Cop told her she must pay 10,000 baht.

His reasoning? "You have farang name. All farangs have big money".

More tough laws that won't get enforced, so who cares. 

Well the speeding fines that will be increased greatly will, so I do.

The speed limits in the areas where speed cameras are set up can be very confusing, with 3 different speeds shown within 100 meters in quite a few cases, Saraburi is a minefield to go through.

It's almost like the signs were set up in such a way as to generate extra income for the Highway Department/Traffic Police Dept. ????

 

Whenever I visit my wife's home village, it doesn't matter how carefully I drive (under my wife's back-seat guidance), I will still end up with 2 tickets.

 

A round trip to the North will now cost me Baht 8,000 instead of my normally 'budgeted for' Baht 2,000.

 

Edited to add,

I'm sure that my budget for speeding fines was Baht 1,000 and a ticket was 500 and not 1,000.

Either way, Baht 8,000 makes the trip too expensive.

Er indoors can fly next time she visits her village.

 

 

I took my buddy to Koh Chang 20+ years ago, from Pattaya (he was visiting from the US with his half Thai wife). Not a matter of "IF" it was a matter of "WHEN" I would get pulled over by some suicidal BIB walking out in front of my truck.

Sure enough, an hour into it, I get pulled over. To this day I have no idea what my offense was. I asked my wife and she said, "Just, give him some money!". ????

200 baht and I was off again.

Rarely have had a problem with taxi drivers using a meter in BKK, unless your standing out side Nana etc, most are very pleasant and don't overcharge... 

I grabbed a cab 21 years ago on Sukh. Soi 21 to Lat Prao.

My wife was hammered (I'd just met her & she was tring to keep up with me). All 99 lbs of her.

I thought "She's going to yak her guts out soon", so I popped into a late night pharmacy just to have a plastic bag.

Poor taxi driver was going nuts till he figured out she had a barf bag.

SPY....she won't touch them things a couple decades later. ????

PS....I went shopping the next day & brought home an ice cold SPY. That's a true Led Zepplin fellas.

What a champ she is. She saw it and started wretching.????

But things move along at the speed of Greenland glacier when the government becomes involved.

I recall 1999. Prince was still alive ????

Meter drop was 35 baht. It should be 200 baht by now.

I have driven a taxi, and it ain't no way to get rich, plus most of them are driving a stick shift....I have done that in Krung Thep in my own POV. Not fun.

The guys are working 14 hours a day. Cut 'em some slack & tip them well.

Wow, sorry to read this.

Mostly  they die from smoke before the fire gets them. I hope that's the case here.

He went to sleep & never woke up.

It happened to my elderly neighbor 25 years ago.

It is ALWAYS someone/something else's fault; the driver will NEVER take responsibility for his OWN actions in traffic (or life).
ALWAYS blame:
- wet road
- rain
- brakes
- other people
- telephone
- falling asleep

- anything you want as long it is not driver self!

Drive/Ride safely and be watchful of the idiots (they are everywhere!)

Look up & look down too. I had friend step into a storm drain during a torrential downpour. I had to help him out, as he was about to be deposited somewhere in the Bight of Bangkok.
