  1. Not sudden onset cancer, but it suddenly became symptomatic. He must have had it for a while without being aware of it.
  2. A couple of years the Nightwish group had an ad out,can't remember where exactly, looking for managers. Requirements were conversational in English, being able to hold your liquor, and being sociable, as you had to converse with and "entertain" Farangs that weren't there just for the sex.Speaking Thai and other farang languages was a plus.
  3. Bad for business. Airline could lose a lot of money. I once came across a bus in a ditch. Guess they were waiting for a crane to lift them out. While waiting they were busy painting the bus, starting with the name of the bus company.
  4. Yes, bring the Ricelady and all the other crooks back home. Land of scams is suffering from a shortage of professional scammers.
  5. Looks like the high season has arrived already. Unfortunately, Cadence was the only rental place I could find. Numchai has traditionally been practicing two tier pricing. They hide it by giving Thais and some long-term farang customers a 20 % discount. I was one of the farangs considered Thai enough to get the discount until one day (about 15 years ago) I wasn't deemed worthy of it anymore. Haven't been back since. Would love to hear whether they are still doing it.
  6. Never been asked by immigration in 40 years in and out, neither at airports nor at land borders (Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia).Airlines 2 out of 3 times they ask.
  7. Not helping someone in mortal danger is not pacifism(neither is it Buddhism which advocates selfless loving kindness).Pacifism means not using violence under any circumstances ,not even to defend yourself.
  8. I thought you had to go there in person.
  9. For me the edibles in Thailand don't work at all. I get my joints from the Blow franchises in Pattaya, the c- class for 100 Baht a joint are great. Half a joint is enough. Tried the more expensive ones ,but the only thing different was the price. Also tried the edibles, from low dose to what they said was the most potent (and most expensive) and felt absolutely nothing.
  10. Where are you?I found it a very dry monsoon season this year.
  11. Of course, but some guys more hair than money.
  12. You're right. The focus on romance scams. And there are some Nigerian Princes, generals ,who are very rich to start with, and are willing to transfer to and park their in strangers ' bank accounts. Honest,Lovely people
  13. Looking for a watch where I can download stuff from phone/laptop, and listen to it via Bluetooth when jogging/biking/working out. Cumbersome to have to carry your smartphone around with you all the time. 2 GB would be enough. I tried a couple of headphones that had this function, but they don't work very well, one from Lenovo from Lozada for 1200 Baht was impossible to switch to mp 3 function. Cheaper ones from China stopped working after a few weeks.
  14. I find it amazing how many guys here keep posting about Thai chicks and other stuff most of the day, and still have time for chasing p...y. The dog that barks doesn't bite.
  15. No way they are all the same.There are huge differences. You obviously haven’t been with many.
  16. He was in the operating theater for 5 hours. Give me a break. Triple bypass. That is total BS.
  17. Neither is possible in his case. His body would reject them.
  18. Arrogance and sense of superiority is basically the same. I think somebody made this 'survey " up
  19. Two tier pricing in that hospital, and maybe at all or most hospitals in the Pattaya/Rayong area . I did a little shopping around for a cataract operation. It seems that once you get out of the farang zone prices drop by 50 %. In the Lopburi provincial hospital the eye doctor was surprised to hear that many hospitals in Thailand charge farangs double. They also seem to be friendlier, take their time to answer your questions. Waiting time for the examination was only 1 hour, which is excellent for a public hospital .
