okay we know where Jim is but what about Ian F and that errant pig farmer Pigeon Jake..hope nothing happened to PJs happiness bubble..that would be a shame!?

I have nothing against same-sex marriages, but Thai law does. Seems a bit infintile that these women (knowing the law) even bothered to go to Bang Rak. Surely the could just skip that step (since it's futile) and directly petition the PM's office. Get a few signatures and what not.

These two publicity seekers waisted the public officials' time on their busiest day of the year.

It's called a political PROTEST. That was the best time to do it. Congrats to the awakening gay civil rights movement in Thailand.

Considering the amount of paperwork heterosexuals have to go through to register Thai/foriegner marriage ..think this is more of the "look at us" "out and gay" ....BS ...if they want get married legally ..lots of places in this world..just don't expect legal recognition in Thailand...awakening civil rights my arse movement...ooops!

interesting...I always wonder..if you put two bags say, one knock off and one that cost a fortune side by side ....could you tell the difference?. Put a hi tag reciept in each and ? I hardly think it is about hi so fastidious taste.

Someone once told me that the only difference was the loading dock at the sweat shop.....be interesting to quiz some buyer for the designer label companies....

Sort of like taste tests my ex used to do at our parties with generic brandy vs hi priced cognac....oh such indignance when they got it wrong!!!

In these days of automated and or computerised manufacturing processes the quality gap is all but non existent, very little poor quality clothing out there methinks...amazed at the stuff in local markets.....such quality and design for such little money!

Think designer labels are in cahouts with the credit card companies...lol

saw this on BBC world last month.....

all very frustrating ain't it !!

Trang November 2011 ordered 3.2 Wildtrack 4x4 ...3 weeks later got a call to say "cannot"! When?...maybe 6 months?

Got my deposit back

.....drove round the corner to Mazda...ordered 3.2 4x4.....in short a week a later got a call "cannot".....got my deposit back...will call you when you can order......no call yet...!

..... the readers digest version of the whole saga.!

It is used for me now for sure ....when I can be bothered to look..maybe indigenous apathy and procrastination is catching..lol

Interestingly SIL got her new Vigo in 2 months from Thung Sung March last year exactly as ordered.....she can be a strong lady (read scary) at times..probably threatened 'em

guess our more feral puppies on the farm are different as in wolves vs cougers...ie in nature they will eat most anything.

As most say probably not aproblem....

Our pups have the following diet:

When 1-2 months I saw that my milk for coffee got strangley depleted?

We feed 'em, boiled fish ( pilchard size) and rice mostly

treats include chicken carcasses cooked and chopped with rice

other diet:

leftovers, wild birds, monkeys, rats, mice, rubber seeds,drink latex, chew cup rubber, orchids, grass, brooms, shoes, washing off the line,socks out of my wellies,tool handles, coconut husk, bananas the blacker the better,stones,leafs, their plastic food bowls....

..hmm can't think of anything they don't try to eat....? ah yes curried veggies get left...

cat food ...loooxury!

good grief.......bash bash bash.....!!! most western retailers use computerised cash registers which calculate change etc .......sigh..!!!!!

I waste so much time reading stuff on TV when I could be doing something much less productive brigade.....errrr wait a minute?

< Flame removed >

The One-Line Abusers' brigade, who have nothing to contribute and wish to highlight the fact, and the members of both brigades, who are in the elite specialist

"I can't believe I just wasted five minutes reading all this drivel" posters' brigade;

This last little group having the rare attribute of a complete inability to see the ironic foolishness of their own words, nor to appreciate how dull and empty their lives appear to others when they make such comments.

SC

oh dear ....poor me, small minded, a dull and empty life ..reading silly stuff and and the responses thereto ......rare?,..irony?, Foolishness? yup propably..thought we had some posters with a sense of humour on this somewhat jocose thread.....guess I was wrong....back to farming.

....it soooo.. scary out here!

Dammit now ya gonna made me burn my toasted cheese!!!!

I waste so much time reading stuff on TV when I could be doing something much less productive brigade.....errrr wait a minute?

.....and in other news....

Mr Chalerm admits that alcohol therapy has been unable to solve his ongoing mastoid problems and the uninvited visits of Mr Floppy and Mr Droopy...he has refused all photo ops in the latter regard....

south in Trang province......6 years ago 1km 30 + concrete poles in concrete footings...130kbt..temp meter 7000bt...mostly refunded when permanent.

Note that temp meter watt unit cost is approx twice that of permanent.

service 40+ amp..single family dwelling ..three water pumps, three fridges,three shower heaters, no air....

..heading over on Friday...girls will go to temple..me I will drool over the plants and stuff...always a nice day's outing...

5555..okay I give up ........kosher salt and bacon in same sentence already!????

There is no absolute limit on the number of visa-exempt entries.

He's unlikely to be refused entry if he does another run. However, he may get asked questions about what he's doing in Thailand (on suspicion of working illegally).

If he's married to a Thai he can get 60 day extension at immigration for 1900 Baht to 'visit his wife'. Any reason he's not extending in-country?

'

That is a handy wrinkle....is that an extension of 15 day'er?

Complaining about people complaining is like yelling at a barking dog...

our dogs bark..I yell......

the worst is a German Shepherd

can I complain about Thai visa now.....getting a touch boring...wish we could ban gutless whining expat scaredtobees ..oh dear I think I am drunk again..I smell burned bbq prawns.....deeeah anudder beer ..NOW!!

the world would be a sad place indeed if everyone remained cowered and cocooned in their security blankets methinks.

What do people do with all these overseas assets..I mean what use are they sitting someplace accruing....is there ever an intention to spend 'em.?.....

Nice to have undoubtedly and good to have a rainy day fund/safety net but there has to be some point at which you decide to reap the benefits of ones wise wealth creation?

Wonder does anyone think that assets would be beneficial when in their dotage and perhaps regretting never having done all that stuff they coulda done or have been doing had they been a little more adventurous or courageous?

this "never invest in anything if youre not prepared to lose" mantra, if adopted by everybody throughout history would have the world inhabited by a bunch of scared rabbits.....

enough philosophizing.........gotta go check for quarters down the back of the couch....f...k those mutual funds!!!

Actually have never seen these absolutely discusting lowlifes..

...just wondering ..is it still the custom for the suits to stand on the sidewalk outside London pubs?..guess since they wear suits and drink imported lagers.they must be superior human beings? location location location?

Would it still be a problem to our judgement police if the guys sucking back a beer were 20 something hard bodies,used pewter jugs and wore designer golf shirts and shorts with top-siders. What about if they were drinking diet soda?

I think it is discusting that school children are allowed to hang out outside convenience stores eating ice-cream,drinking sodas and laughing..ought to be a law....

errrr hate hard questions

now I will worry about it!

...I hate it when:

...an ant walks across my tablet..squish it and lose my page in e book..

...gecko poop

...the time it takes to cool down a fresh box of beer

...getting old

loves:

...sunrise

...Bang Bang chocolate cookies

...that coy smile from that sweet thing that sells veggies in the market

assume you mean the silvering is flaking? probably related to the quality and the humidity in your bathroom.I

guess you could try painting the backs with some oil based paint or silicon spray( test first as may pull the lot off.!!.lol) or try to find better quality silvered mirrors.?

We have a few cheapies in bathrooms and bedrooms...some slight spots appearing on the one .probably just buy a new one if it gets too bad....or maybe just a picture of me 40 years ago....

Just as long as you make sure they use the Anti-bacterial Grout ! The difference in price is negligible but the difference in use is like day & night ! !

what is ABG...what is the difference.?...I have seen so called anti fungal and used it on our kitchen counter....

..frickin wonderful....it's got it's own fricking ecosystem now.....a round towit job is to tear it all off and replace with marble or granite

no real short cuts...just make sure you fill in all the forms ...

When first applied for TRV for my GF I phoned Embassy in BKK and asked.....was told to supply as much documented info ( copies, photos etc) as possible ie re job , land, house ...essentially as much stuff as possible to convince Canadian immigration that she would leave Canada and return to Thailand.

Go to web site and read all you can....it is a slog through all the forms but not that hard . Hope you have a good printer...lol

Just applied for and received wife's visa last month ...came back within 10 days! (BKK)

Is there a technical way , to fix the problem that the car has less power when aircon is on, for example a stronger battery?

Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app

Get the air on serviced. Get the car serviced.

oh dear!...the aircon when on enables a clutch to a pump which has it's own belt from the engine...ie uses your engine power...open a window instead maybe?
