What kind of idiot gives a 5 year old a gun?

An American, don't you know it's in the Constitution

Damn you beat me too it

Its quite easy to make you just need to make sure you have your salty (Fish Sauce ) Sweetness ( Palm Sugar) sourness (usually fresh lime juice) balanced then add chopped fresh chillies (Red or Green or a bit of both ) to your own liking some chopped Scallions(spring Onions ) and Garlic finely chopped . it might take a little experimenting to get the balnces right but it will be worth it Enjoy

I JUST FARTED! Beware the London Underground!

-mel.

Careful you could get arrested for that ... I read a story a while back where some poor bugger actually got arrested and charged for releasing a noxious foul smelling gas on the NY subway ..yep you guessed it he Farted !

I'm amazed that you have to take 10,000 Baths before you can get on an air asia flight ..how much is the airfare in Baht ????

In Australia, it's still possible to board a domestic flight with essentially no ID (except if departing from an international terminal). Gotta love flying there...

Sorry I have to disagree with you on that ,you do need a valid form of ID to board a domestic flight here in australia usually a valid driving licence is sufficient failing that a passport is acceptable ...no ID no fly as nearly happened a few months ago when I was taking my 13yr old grandson up to Darwin to visit his uncle for a week he didnt have any ID and was initially refused at check in luckily we were in plenty of time to arrange a phopto copy of his passport to be emailed which the airline accepted plus I also had to provide proof that I was actually his grandfather !

Why go to all the hassle of having a laptop sent halfway round the world ?? surely there are places in Thailand that you can buy an up to date laptop !

Thanks. Then I'll take some US$ and use ATM.

You will need USD for your VOA, $25 for 30 days.

I just use an ATM Card when I am there.

Not all ATM will give you more than 1 million rupiah too and that amount will fill your wallet alone.

Only if you get your money from a dodgy changer will you have a wallet full of notes ! ATM's usually give out RP100,000 notes so thats only a total of 10 If you get from a reputable exchange you can ask for RP 50,000 notes which are Blue and also a lot easier to get change for on a purchase ! As for the VOA they will usually accept a major currency I.E US $ AU$ GBP etc but at a rate favourable to them so check exchange rates before you hand over the folding stuff.

A hamburger walked into a bar and ordered a beer.

The barman asks "what was that I didn't hear you".

Sorry I cant talk loud says the hamburger, I'm a bit horse.

Can't for the life of me think whats risky about buying something !

A friend of mine accidentally put a new 500 Baht note in the washing machine at 90°. After pre- and mainwash cycle the note was very clean and the shiny silvery control mark - the wide strip - was completely gone and it was just white paper. The smaller interrupted strip was still there.

OOPS !!

Alcohol is banned in many countries (including USA and UK) during certain events.Also banned in certain streets in UK and USA all the time. Nothing new here.

Hmm I've never heard of an Alcohol ban during certain events in the UK only time I have come across any restrictions in alcohol sales is Good Friday when sales of Alcohol in supermarkets isnt permitted before 12 noon other than that Alcohol is freely available for sale !

I've just has 3 guys (don't ask me why 3) around to repair the aircon. They isolated the problem, a cracked pipe that was leaking gas, soldered the pipe, re-gassed it, cleaned the filter etc. Total time taken, 2 hours, total cost 1200 baht. It would cost you a minimum of 4000 baht just for the callout for an aircon technician in Australia, the labour an material costs on top of that. You'd be lucky to get away with 10,000 baht.

yeah but at least in Australia the work would be carried out by a licenced technician unless of course you got Bodgit Fleecim and Run to do the job !

I found the OP very hard to decipher as it had lots of weird bits like this <br /></p> <p> in nearly every line anyone else seeing it ?

"The portly, grey-haired woman"

what possible relevance has this line from the report got to do with the story ? the poor woman wants to get to truth of her brothers death surely thats not too much to ask for ? but as you all say TIT it will never happen

One can acquire such stuff everywhere in Thailand if one so wishes. Mace would be legal same as here in Australia to be used as a dog deterrent.

I'm calling Bulls*** on that one nowhere have I seen legally obtainable Mace or pepper spray available to the general public in Australia as far as I am aware it is classed as an offensive weapon & the only people I have seen carrying it are police officers !

Also if it was legal to own I dont think it would be onthe prohibited Items list at arrivals at the airports here.

Number 99 on the list Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee I found some in the Central Market in Adelaide selling for something like AU$ 200 a kilo and they will apparently do you a freshly ground single shot espresso for something like AU$ 20 a cup neddless to say I passed or was that passed out ?

Even though the OP was only a passenger I'm a little surprised after all I have read on here that if a Farang is involved it their fault that he didnt cop the blame for the accident .

According to Kritsada, the law requires hotel and guesthouse owners to tell police within 24 hours of a guest’s arrival !

Is this so that it is easier for the Boys in Brown to shake down unsuspecting Farang ?

A couple of people who, if passing the toffee test, might give other indications that they'd had more than the half a driver's shandy they'd claimed......

That first one with the old fella what a pi**er even the cop got a good laugh ,and the bloke in the second one must have one hell of a hard head to nearly knock a hole in the wall when he did his faceplant .

Whats with the @ glasses of P1ss in the last picture ???

Gotta say that to me the bloke in the photo doesnt look like a Thai to me maybe a leuk kreung ??

Did anyone else notice the similarity in this story to the Aussie one ???

"They did not discover signs of struggle but an ashtray filled with cigarette butts "

And this from the report about the Aussie

"and a many cigarette butts smoked by the victim."

Must be something dodgy in those Thai cigarettes !!!!!
