  1. Pretty sure most Thai banks are shutting down internet. I spoke with a Aussie actuary last weekend & he reckons that apps are now ruling the world. Guess we have to adjust.????????
  2. Pattaya maps = bars.????????
  3. I don't think your original comment is racist or otherwise. In true Thai style, it could be misunderstood.. Agreed. I reckon Immigration Officers seem to have a ticket on themselves. I recently spoke to a highly regarded AFL umpire. He suggested that decicions called on field are 10 % fact and 90% interpretation. Sounds similar.????????
  4. Thailand loves shooting itself in the foot. Terrified of aliens.????????
  5. Spidey. Stop. You are making a fool of yourself by posting this.????????
  6. 50% something upstairs & 50% something else downstairs. Something doesn't add up to 100%. Trouble is afoot.????????
  7. Errrrr. Because I am driving and the phone isn't built for my fat fingers. My trip is in black and white on paper, not some google map spinning out of control (Warning Will Robinson!) telling me "Do This & Don't Do That". And, <deleted>..."good old maps" (hard copy) are hard to find Love driving and exploring.. Cheers????????
  8. Thailand, sadly the defenition of stupidity. Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Sigh.....????????
  9. ....or pen and paper after consulting google map etc. Left turn this soi, right turn this road. Surprising how quickly that method sticks in my tired brain.????????
  10. A nice GPS lady told me how to find a waterfall in Phitsanulok province. Lovely waterfall. Upon attempting to return home wifey & I found the waterfall 2 more times, from different roads!? Anyhow, it was a nice drive in beautiful country.????????
  11. My next door neighbours hero. Sigh.......????????
  12. Yes, it is with a mixture of mirth and sadness that when I pick up the step-daughter from our village school that sometimes I hear "Falang Come". From 4 & 5 year olds. I'm the only Westerner in the village so I guess their folk and the teacher are teaching this.????????
  13. Somchai asleep at the wheel again.????????
  14. So, PIL. Public Image Limited, is poor taste in music? Reckon I will start a new thread.????????
  15. Fair comment. I recently spent some time in Adelaide. Not many people working in retail seemed to have English as their first language. Lovely people though. Aus.......Thailand could learn a lot if the people at the top weren't so terrified of "aliens".????????
  16. I reckon a lot of our posters still confuse ambitions and abilities. Really, I can't imagine a 30 year younger than me hottie to understand who Johnny Rotten is. After the sex there is a void when I open the stereo.????????
  17. "Why hasn't she been to Australia before though?" Rule #1. Ask no questions.
  18. Damn. Now I am super hungry.????????
  19. Does not surprise me. Treated as criminals. I was lucky(?) They didn't harass the wife. But they could not understand how I was returning to a house that I owned, having been overseas for 6 years. Only 5 years age difference with wifey, not like I married my daughters friend. No doubt these Immigration cowboys have not ventured far from Oz. Maybe Kuta Beach or Singapore Orchard Street?.????????
  20. Yes Jacko. Facts and story. Take your pick to believe anything.????????
  21. Sadly, Thai women can be in the target zone for Aus Immigration. I copped the heavy 3rd degree when I landed Darwin 5 years back with wifey on 3 month tourist visa. 2 mates, married long time to Thai girls, took them to Aus. Within a year they vanished, perhaps/likely together. They could not get out of party mode. I don't ask questions so I get told no lies.????????
  22. Ok. Time to put thinking cap on. Who in my village has a son working for food panda? And, has he mysteriously returned back to Mom's house?????????
  23. I don't think the agent gets to keep too much of that, but agents do serve a purpose for many.????????
  24. Let's hope Big Joke doesn't buy his way into the TAT boardroom.????????
