I don't need no socialist pantywaist psuedointellectual euro bullcrap to tell me what ways the wind blowing and insult my countrys people. You tell'em, Mogoso.

It's funny that Farangsay's mug looks prettry darnfangled 'merican to me but he seems to hate the new colony people.

Farangsay, wanna play crib or snap or shop at the suburban mall or shoot a doe for dinner and mebbe drink some hooch? I would be pleased to teach you, Sir, if you don't know how. You should enjoy some real 'merican hospitality.

jeez...I thought that a house blessing was about good luck...you guys are talkin' different...fighting, loan sharks and centipedes are worrying...

James Brown would never approve......a liquor boddle thrown here or there, but, what the hey?

I heard he just threw wives around, gods bless his soul.

Equals to 20!

But I thought that the meaning of life, The Universe and Everything was...

Nope, the meaning to life, the universe and everything is 42. I know because I am Douglas Adam's maid.

49

These are the same requirements needed to be a female flight attendant as well in much of the west as well I think you will find.

Yeah, in most, except Lufthansa. They do have some rather large Helga's on their staff

You should try Air Canada. My grandma looks younger than some of their farm-fed attendants, who also drag green garbage bags through the aisles before landing and demand you give them your trash. I thought my job as a passenger was to pay and ride, not do their sanitation engineering.

I did not get a blessing at one rental house and I paid for it.

Centipedes dropped on my head, a tree crashed over and destroyed the garage, a family of toukays moved into my toilet tank, and my three dogs and two cats spent evenings watching ghosts swish around the house (I know they were ghosts because there was no tennis match on the telly that would make them move their heads back and forth in unison like that).

Told my landlord and he got some blessing stickers from the temple to put over the doors. I said that wouldn't do much good because the pee ban party had already moved inside.

When I came home one day to find the furniture rearranged, I figured it was time to move. And so, I did.

The easiest thing to do to help eliminate most of the dangers of riding a bike and to lower chances of being dead is WEAR A HELMET!!!!!!!

Ask any of the nurses at the hospitals and they will tell you that over and over and over. It's the simplest thing to do to protect yourself. Crashing a motorbike is not a question of if, it is a question of when. I wish the police would take it serious and crack down on it for real, not just when they want to make some baht.

I started wearing one and felt a little stupid at first but now I have people tell me how smart I am for doing it and they wish they did as well. I feel a lot more confident while riding. A very good friend of mine had a serious motorbike accident a year ago and they had to remove half of his brain, he will be a vegetable the rest of his life. If he had had a helmet on he would have walked away.

BTW, I was just at the BUPA office in Chewang and the lady there told me the Italian guy who owns the bakery next door had a serious motorbike accident just recently. In case anyone knows him. She said his whole right side of his body is crushed. Plus I'm betting he didn't have a helmet on.

Hope that's not my fav Italian baker who used to be next to the gym on the ring road.

Amazing he can include all that in an ad there.

In the west, the ad would be: Wanted: non-physically challenged and non-plastic surgeon candidate with forty years of service still available before retirement, who can communicate in native language, fit perfectly into a size four custom-fit bustierre uniform and perform thrice daily shower rituals. Ability to swish feather duster and turn on Hoover is preferred.

Dear Big Snake,

Question?? To wash them or to make DUP to use LATER, BEWARE my friend!!

I thought so, too, for a mo, but nothing ever happened. Five years plus. Unless he was the guy who ran over, killed and ate my dog, but nothing stolen from my home in that whole time.

Thanks for the update, November Rain. Too many new rules; guess best for puppy transporters to check wit their respective embassies for other little details.

Feel sorry for you condo dwellers. My Thai neighbours in the jungle took care of my security for years. Never locked my door unless I went away for biz.

This sounds like western security issues. Do your security guards ban gel substances at the gate?

Why are there only purebreds on here? Does nobody (apart from me) love Thai dogs (mix or pure)?

I love Thai ridgeback strays. Had two bitches that looked like does (deer). Big brown eyes. So loyal and loving and SMART, but fighters and aggressors. Would love to get another.

Hi, Tolsti. Do you think it's easier going thru Italy or another EU country? Guemlum better check it out, I think.

Dear Kat,

Never met you, but wish you all the best. At least NYC is better than, say, Cleveland. Hope you don't have to work in an enclosed office. Watch Beautiful Boxer and pretend you're back in LOS. I do.

I agree. WEAR A HELMUT. Get one for the dog, too. Seen tooooo many fatalities with cool skidlid-free dudes.

Have no idea on paperwork necessary but would strongly

suggest you pick a direct flight.

When in Zambia some friends of mine were moving to

South Africa and as the quarantine there was only a couple

of weeks they decided to bring their dog.

There was a change of plane at Lusaka and when the

baggage handlers unloaded the cage the dog managed to

break out and run off into the adjacent ZAF base (Zambian

Air Force).

It took a while for the guys to get permission to enter , but

they finally did this and managed to catch what they thought

was the dog they'd lost.

You know what I'm going to say , don't you ? The dog that

arrived in RSA was not the same dog that left Kitwe.

Best of luck.

Not the same dog...sorry, but that is really funny.

Guelum, see my post on the general topics thread you posted.

Hi, Kat. Thanks for sharing.

Ya, it's funny, no matter where you are in the world, if you've got Thai background, you just sort of become family when you meet Thai people, without question. It's a hidden link?

Ooh, Guemlum, you better get started PDQ. You must get papers from a Government vet (most are) about health, rabies and other vaccinations; these must be dated within one week or so from your departure. Please check! Try Samui dog rescue website; they do many exports.

Most important is arranging air transport. Not all carriers do live cargo or not well. Call BA and KLM. Also important to take a direct flight or you could lose Bongo in Moscow.

You must have a dog cage, blankets, toy, maybe sedatives.

At BKK airport, you must check in way early and take your dog to the cargo section and get him checked by the vet there, too.

If you go to Italy first, you may NOT have to put your dog in quarantine in the UK. Check out Euro countries. If you can fly to Roma and then drive or paddle back to the UK, your pooch should get in without hassle. A friend did this a few years ago. Sure saves the heartache of 6-mo QT.

Check out embassy sites for bringing in dogs from Thailand.

good luck!

Douggie, you must have magnetic charm.

Got my first car in Thailand and decide to go out for a burger. Too late, the restaurant is closed so I pull a u-ey to go home. No traffic. I'm beetling along and a car is coming toward me in my lane. "Dufus!" I think to myself. He does not change lanes and I decide not to play chicken and pull off the road. So does the other guy. Oh, squash, it's the police. One cop gets out and comes to my car. My bowels indicate evacuation mode.

"Sawasdee khrup."

"Hello. Sir."

"Maybe better you drive other side road, Madame." He returned to his car.

Ya, I was driving on the right. Well, there was no other traffic and I, uh...never did that again.

Stop the PRESS!!!

Tutsi was doing a kind deed. He does have blood running through his veins.

Not an ogre afterall.

I love the stories.

You nice people are nice people. Anybody who doesn't like these warm and fuzzies, there are other forums featuring boa feather glue and stilletto spike in the thigh gutter talk.

And now, I will display my blog naievete and ask for your kind guidance, bloggers: what does OP mean and how come I cannot add dancing emoticons to my replies like the gentrified geriatric group does?

Aw, shucks, I feel like a five year old in a dusty street waiting for Pa to take me for ice cream.

Ha ha Miss Jet ... well I'm going to be another nice Thai experience and help you free of charge

The OP is the original poster (who started the thread) so that, in this case, means YOU .......

I learn humility again.

And thank you kindly for the mad max defense, David. Book smart, street stupid.

when i first came here i was trekking in the north. my guide asked me if i liked fruit shakes.

'oh yes, i really like a good banana shake' i replied.

'do you know how to ask for it in thai?'

'no, but i would love you to teach me' i said.

so we went about this big lesson where i was going to ask for a banana shake when i was next wanting one.

a couple of days after the trek i was in chiang mai and went in to this little restaurant armed with my paperwork for my trip and sat down and was approached by the waiter. i was so keen to practice my new phrase, i had even written it down.

and order it i did. so proud.

the waiter cracked up and walked into the kitchen. i could hear something about 'farang' and all this laughter.

i ended up with my banana shake, but when i returned to my hotel i was telling the staff what had happened. they asked me to repeat the order in thai again, so i did.

"kor kuay pun ka".

i was asking for a penis shake.

never did go back to that shop again!

learn new language velly good. Best laughs.

Cicadas will be in the trees soon.... around here they just pick off the wings and pop 'em in their mouths..

Oh, toster, thanks for sharing that with us. I hope they keep the wings for duvet down.
