Screws

There are a lot of Thai people out there including me who don't get offended by what she said.

Some of you live in Thailand for a long time and already know that you have to be 'fake' to make people like you.

When I was young and still lived in Thailand, I didn't have many friends in school & uni because I was a frank person and liked to speak my mind. Most of them hated me because of that reason. They just couldnt accept the truth.

Another funny thing I read on some forums is that some Thai people translated 'Lady Market' as Brothels [Market that sells lady] LOL instead of a shopping place.

I think she meant Pat Pong when she said 'lady market', no?

She was just in Hong Kong where she went shopping in a place called Ladies Market, think that's all it means and she thinks thats some generic Asian term for market with stuff for women.

Thort she ment Soi 6 -

Has they arrested the suspect?

Yes but he came up with a 5,000 baht bribe and walked.

'Police were later surprised to find .....................'

I was issued 4 fake 100 renminbi notes from an ATM in downtown Guangzhou earlier this year. Visitors to China beware - only use ATMs in Banks if possible -

I remember the accident of the high speed train in China last year ...... is it the same model which will come in Thailand ? The Chinese only copied the french TGV I just wonder if it will be as reliable. I guess not ....China is famous for his low quality products.

Accident was a result of lightning strike - not quality of train. However, it still could have been prevented if somebody on board had used their mobile -

"Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the accident."

BF / GF issues?

If they want to do Thailand and the students a favour, there will not be any 'put Thai' (Thai language) on the device.

If they do this, many students will wake up one morning about 18 months after receiving the machine, and ask themselves 'how come I learnt English?'

No, I do not consider this to be cultural imperialism. Many considerations, inc. upcoming Asean common market -

Clean your teeth and mouth thoroughly.

Floss, brush, & then do it all again. Use a strong mint t'paste like Colgate green.

Best if you do it before you go to bed, but do it ASAP -

Chok dee.

P.S. Not a hangover cure, but knocks it down by about 10 dB, or 10 points on Richter - from my experience. Try it, worst thing that can happen is GF can kiss you in am w/o gagging.

While we are talking about HSBC, I had over 40,000 Bht equiv. (HKD) in a HK account on Saturday. Tried to draw on Aeon today, could only get 38,000 bht. Somebody is making a pretty penny! Anyone know who is taking the difference? Grateful for any advice - 2.5 to 5% on top is a bit rich.

Looks like TT from the bank to Thailand might be a better deal - if I recall it's about 1,000 baht. Anyone have a better (cheaper) way to bring money in?

I psnly dislike steak & kid - anything with offal - but on Sundays Sportsmans on Pattaya Soi 13 has a roast buffet which includes a great S & K pie - big, juicy, soft thick pastry. All you can -

I pick out the kidney, like many others here, but just love the rest.

P.S. Check if it is still on if you go - I haven't been for a year or so -

P.S. not an ad, just love it

Barrs Irn Bru!!........guaranteed to work. I don't know where your going to get it in Thailand though so I agree with the previous post for Pocari Sweat.

What a stupid name for a drink though.

and Irn Bru is not a stupid name ?...

Nah, that's what he's talking about ;-)

"Remember you are the boss, if only because you have the money."

Ex advice from masterbiker. And money is in two forms - income & assets.

Have all the income you like, leave your assets elsewhere. Bring your assets here, them 'n yer ass will soon be gone -

A bigger bed might be one solution -

No oxygen, no fire. So where does the oxygen come from? Does any guru know?

Oxygen is from atmosphere. Methane / coal seam gas is from underground organic matter.

The fire is where they 'meet'.

Sad thing is that teacher can sue the exposer for 'loss of face'.

- for telling the truth -

This is what is unique to Thailand, AFAIK.

For what it's worth, just on the left of the entrance of Homeworks there is a place (small stall) which can print posters to your requirements using a special inkjet printer (in BKK) . Have not used them, but they could print any graphics -

Don't.......Seriously!

There are so many guys near where I live that continue to fall in to this trap. They all end up separated and/or divorced. The reasons are simple. If your relationship gets that serious you want to marry then you will have to/pretend convert to Islam. Once you have children the problems will start. About the age of two or three the wife's parents will insist on a strong muslim upbringing for their Grandchild. You may be living away from the Grandparents home area, but your wife WILL up and leave with your child, back to her parental home. There are many broken hearted men I know and when I hear another is about to embark on the same course of action I just say why? I have not known a relationship in Thailand between a muslim girl/non muslim man end any differently. If you have a baby girl she will be a valuable 'asset' to the family, new blood, whitish skin, worthy of a good dowry. I am not being racist or bigoted, these are just the facts from many many thai men I know that fell in love with a muslim woman. All will be great and well until you have children and they reach toddler age. Your wife may even love you very much but when her parents say 'come home and bring the child', thats it, and you will get NO visiting rights.

By the way, don't be fooled by the no sex before marriage thing. Young Muslim women are just as curious about sex as any other young woman, but don't get caught, her brothers will have your gonads.

So...you have been warned. Good luck.

That is a well thought out warning, Take heed all ye horny males. I remember dating a Doukhobor girl back in my late teens. Her brothers pretty much sorted me out about having any future with their sister. It's pretty much the same thing with young muslim women and their families.

Thats so sad isnt it, religion humph!!

"I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!"

"Why shouldn't I?" he said.

I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"

He said, "Like what?"

"Well ... are you religious or atheist?"

"Religious."

"Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?"

"Christian."

"Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"

"Protestant."

"Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"

"Baptist."

"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"

"Baptist Church of God."

"Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"

"Reformed Baptist Church of God."

"Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"

"Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"

To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.'

probably has booked already for a plastic operation for tomorrow.

there is always a matter of a valid visa, sooner or later he will be found

The investigators always check those places. Wonder if any do surgery on themselves. That'd be pretty slick.

~ 15 yrs ago a nasty bunch in Taiwan (bank robbers) raided a cosmetic shop, ordered surgery, then killed doc & nurses after it was done. Maybe still on the loose.

Obviously a lot of farangs are involved with this subject. I'll keep my ears and eyes open to see how I can protect myself. Maybe renting is the best option......

'Maybe renting is the best option.....'

Absolutely. Assets elsewhere, income here.

Otherwise your assets (& your ass), will be nowhere.

"Chalerm went on to say it is still early to jump into conclusion"

He got one thing right. Anyone know what planet he is tweeting from?

Can you take legal (criminal law) action against a person now deceased? QED someone shot dead while committing a terrorist act receives B7.5 million.

where's the proof of anyone shot dead while committing a terrorist act?

Will shot in the foot while committing a terrorist attack do?

I wonder if we did away with all organized religions if you would replace them with anything else.

Of course. The Heneygen vs Carlsberg wars.

No one died?

Not true. 3.37, Tainan, Taiwan, one dead.

"Teachers are close to children. They can teach the children about ethics and honesty,"

When they gunna start?

Why on earth Bali, of all places?

You will have to ask them - http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/46526/800-million-baht-central-pattaya-road-improvement-scheme-close-final-approval/#comment-18174

Screws, nice idea.

Are you import or native ?

Spoon.

Import, 10 - 12 years here -

Thanks for comments, critiques of plans welcomed - Council soon to start digging up Sukhumvit for tunnels @ Pattaya Nua, Klang, Dai, and Thepprasit - people already talking of leaving for Bali.
