  1. Hats off to his effort. Im sure he has a correct claim. No person with "mafia intentions" would have taken on that journey with same handicap. Now thai government- pay up-or stand ashamed .....
  2. Being more than 70 yrs say the sign. Call it "fast lane", just look to the right :-)
  3. Danger is, you cant run away :-)
  4. If rest of the world had to dissolve political parties because of one members misdoings, political parties would be non-existent. (Like GOP in US :-) )
  5. There is night bus leaving satuk at 21.20 evening. In bangkok about 0430 passing dmk. Price ca thb 430. Used it 4 times, ok.
  6. How is it possible to nominate a person like that ???? Hasnt history taught them anything, or are they unable to read or listen ???..
  7. Much fuzz about nothing. Im sure, if the thai person, instead of taking time to take photo, posting on facebook and getting annoyed, would instead informed the 2 ladies that sunbathing at temple was inpropriate, they would apologized and leave. But then, of course, the thai didnt learn english at school, and would not have gained "own moment of "clicks":-)
  8. Something "strange" here ?? "Rich or lucky" young lady, thai, doing stupid wearing gold walking street. On other hand, sm art enough giving cctv to police. Ordered robbery-insurance scam?? :-)
  9. At least he is trying to do something in his area. May he be successful and we should all applaud him....
  10. We dont know who startet the quarrel.. It might be the lady.. That has even happened to me :-)
  11. If they vote according to his wish they admit they are corrupted and "owned" Or that its possible to treathen them... Dont know whats most humiliating, to the supreme court-and the united states...
  12. Vikings got there first :-) But after all "strange happenings" on that continent last decade, not sure we want it :-)
  13. Maybe she should get a new mother in law and what goes with it. Normally a husband would "set his mother right" if she bullies his wife :-)
  14. When applied the last time in october to thai embassy oslo i was surpised to find NO QUESTION about the insurance. May it last :-)
  15. The Danish/Scandinavian tasks and behaviour of royalty should be an example for "certain other countries"...
  16. There you go: A real christmas wonder :-) And Santa, dressed as member of fire brigade :-) Ho Ho Ho
  17. Im not qiite sure on opinion here: On one hand: Very nice of involved people. On the other: Honesty should be natural by people... And no 3: Feel like "media" say: "This is beyond expextations and great, unexpected news, good gor Thailand". Meybe thats the saddest :-)
  18. Gave her thb 10.000 for christmas and birthday dec 30 th. She was not happy. Even if 40% thai families have to manage eith that amount ir less monthly. I have never in my life been given a months salary as a gift... :-)
  19. This original story another example of how media draw immidiate conclusions, specially in non-thais. The original story was focused in a manner that he was obviously guilty.
  20. The bank is of course responsible to solve the matter-they can afford it. But still puzzles me-how could he get/manage maintain a loan at that size on his salary ???? Rice is cheap, but ??? :-)
  21. Of course the bank will resell it i fail to make down payment of the loan. Thats the whole reason for the morgage. (And why putting up "your house" in thailand for such, should be a "no NO" !!!
  22. I did try, surely as many other here, try to learn thai. Bought books, tried to listen to how thais talk etc. (I speak norwegian, english, some german, little french and understand danish and swedish). My experience in buriram when try to speak thai (exept basic things) is they just look, and seems not try understand. So after a while you just stop trying. When, in norway, a foreigner tries norwegian we really do our best to understand, and give him credit for his efforts. Dont say all thais dont try, but to many dont, unfortunately :-)
  23. Im norwegian living in thailand. Used to speak english with foreign customers in norway, british, american, whatsoever. I have a great british friend here in thailand, and i enjoy our conversations. However he comes from north london and speak dialect. Definately not easy to under understand, but always get the meaning :-) Guess we norwegians, meeting a foreigner try speak norwegian would have tried speak to him in "standard norwegian". But can understand easy to forget. And also-we can ask polite:"can you please try speak without your dialect, so more easy for me to understand :-)
  24. But they are afraid to let protesting students for democracy and modern monarchy out of prison.....
