  1. Often hear the wife sharpening her knife, but we live miles away.
  2. Came across a woman being verbally threatened and screamed at by a man.............she walked away from him, shaking and crying.......I said to her 'is there anything I can do?'.......... ...........she turned to my and spate out, with some venom........... '<deleted> off and mind your own business'
  3. Standard practice here..........house addresses being circulated now as to where to go and get their money......each house has an observer to check they don't collect more than one hand out.
  4. Lady drinks in Nana?
  5. Lived 300m from Nana BTS for 18 months.........never felt worried or threatened .........but I guess it's quite a busy, well lit area. Having said that i never wore any gold chains (tacky-tacky) no phone, not even a watch, and only carried enough cash for the night....so not much of a target.
  6. Nope...it doesn't.
  7. Nah.....no work permit.....so not allowed to help.
  8. You should never let the truth get in the way a good story.
  9. Calm down dear, calm down......money tight for you?......Sweating over 80 baht?
  10. There are special favors.......but at a cost......the guards make a pretty penny.
  11. Haven't read the thread.....but pay attention to airflow.....try to avoid trapped, air hot spots....we have a couple. Also consider big, wide concertina doors to open up the house to air (at least in the winter time)......I would put up external shutters...keeps the house cool(er) and is a security feature.
  12. We have a 'Songkran unit' set up opposite us.......I haven't seen them stop a single car or motorbike rider in three days.....just sit there chatting, drinking and on their phones.
  13. ....and yet the wealthy are notoriously tight with their money....555
  14. Pattaya motorcycle taxi rider threatens to kill 2 foreigners over fare dispute.........perfect example.......fare 80 baht, tried to beat the fare down to 40 baht for two....morons?
  15. Long story short......copper prices are expected to rocket?
  16. We do/did......they do the same few streets from condo to Sukhumvit and the food stores.
  17. Often pay over the odds just to avoid any hassle.......if a tuk-tuk driver is asking for 150 baht and I know it's a 100 baht ride.......do I really care?.........just pay it and don't use him again.
  18. Mohammed married a six year old, although to be fair, the marriage wasn't consummated until she was nine.......
  19. If it concerns Australia is it really a crime?.......i thought Australia didn't count re: drug crimes
  20. That 'crossed' my mind as I typed......????
  21. My first Songkran was 1993, BKK........now that was an experience.......I remember catching a bus where everyone on board was soaking, including a British business guy in a suit.....he was not a happy camper.
  22. Lived just round the corner......often went for the early-bird breakfast...... after lockdown it was always 'empty'.
  23. Cost isn't the issue...........return on the investment is.
