Furioso

If the guy was high on weed he probably would've sat in the taxi and waited for the owner/operator to return from the convenience store and ask "where's the munchies dude?!).

I think I'm in a similar boat but Thailand has so much to offer I refuse to leave permanently. However, I've decided to leave during the absurdly HOT season between Mar-Jun. EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

50,000 for a ceremony for a big jerk? No way would I loan or gift her the money she should have paid way less for the ceremony. Best way to not lose a friend if they ask for a loan( a reasonable amount that I can afford) I just give them the money and they can do whatever they want with it. I don't ever bring up the loan ever again; just say you're my friend I hope this money helps. 2nd time the friend asks for a loan I just say I don't have the money. Case Closed.

I'm definitely going to this, I think this year's best JAV star is Mei Kamisaka but there are dozens of others!

I don't know where Chittaphawan Temple is located. It almost looks like the bridge over Sukhumvit is in the background.

Cutting across Sukhumvit is a real challenge, even at 0630 in the morning. You can't make one mistake. I don't think there's one bridge or tunnel to cross Sukhumvit in the Pattaya/Jomtien area but it would be a very welcome addition to pedestrians and bike riders.

Sorry I forgot to mention it's at index living mall. Available in 2 colors I can send you the link if you like..unless it's okay to post here.

I'm getting ready to buy the 2 seat version of this electric recline cloth sofa. Price for this 3-seater is 33,900 baht. I've sat in these several times and they seem pretty durable. I prefer leather but it's hard to find good leather over here.

Those 7/11 pre-packaged pork burgers have been shrunk and price raised. Shrinkflation!

I thought we nuked Finland a long time ago.

It's rough without an agent I just pay the 300 quid every year to avoid the immigration hassle.

Best ways to meet other expats? I recommend using caution, extreme caution. Your best bet is sporting activities you can go around Thailand jogging or running 5K/10K, golf, tennis, table tennis, but prob not pool or darts. So yes, you can make friends with expats but be careful also a lot of these Brits are skint so watch your back.

All Kuwait hooligans have the right to due process. Said no one, ever.

I have the Fender Monterey Bluetooth Speaker it's perfect for outside. It looks like a traditional Fender Amp and sounds great with Volume, Bass, Treble adjustment knobs. It has a toggle on/off switch once you switch it on it connects automatically to your TV and it will automatically shut off if you mute your TV for approx 20 minutes. I got mine on sale last year for approx 9,000 baht but the nicer version(Monterey Tweed Yellow Mustard, which is usually 18,000 baht) is on Lazada for 10,000 baht. There's also a black barely used version on Lazada for $6,400 baht. The Fender Monterey sells for $400 in the U.S.A.

I turned it on after being off 2 months and after 30 seconds it shut off and won't come back on. It was great in it's heyday but it's getting pretty old. Is it worth trying to get fixed or just go out and buy a new sound bar?

Yes it's still there my friend and I found it an amp/sub/4 speakers is $25,000. Thanks!

No Ghosn, No Nissan.

I've been to several Asian countries(Japan, S. Korea, China, Philippines, Vietnam). I think Thailand is the best of these because it's so easy to live here and nice people considering the large amount of riff-raff that invades their country. However to get out of the brutal Mar-Apr Thai heat go to Da Nang it's approx 5 degrees cooler there.

My MG already has the head unit but I'm looking for amp, sub, replacement speakers. Would prefer smaller sub be placed under passenger seat. Any good car stereo installers in Pattaya to do this?

Yes they look very high quality real leather, probably way too rich for my blood.

Right now I'm 89kg but I'm on a workout plan to reduce to 83kg by years end. Yes, I agree the variable height bar stools probably don't last long.

Hi OMF, I never thought of IKEA until you posted and you're right it does give me a few ideas of what I'm looking for. Thank you my fellow Asean Now Warrior!

Hello, this is definitely a step above what I've seen so far. Thanks Gottfrid!

As I type this, my ar$e is not loving my old rickety bar stool. I saw an okay one at Index for 3,900 baht but I'd really like something higher quality. I'm looking for one with arm rest and adjustable height. Have you had any luck finding something of higher quality?

I texted my friend about both Pattaya International and Siam Hearing Care Center. Thanks to everyone who replied!
