I did that!  Made the mistake of ordering a large, "extra happy", ate it all by myself and then made the mistake of visiting the Tuol Sleng War Crimes Museum (before it was all cleaned up and became the Genocide Museum) right afterwards.  An hour later when all the THC kicked-in, I started hallucinating while walking through the torture grounds.  All the dead were calling out to me and it was the worst "trip" I've ever had.  Barely made it back to the hotel where I climbed into bed and clutched a pillow until morning.  Probably why I'm not into weed.

That is <deleted> unbelievable, I did exactly the same thing. Except I was with a young vietnamese lady whom helped me through the night. Started tripping out at the museum and couldn't wait to get the <deleted> out of there...........

God help us all if they cut Thailands pornography exports, the economy will plummet!

The is absolutely no reason to get so amped up over a bargirl, plenty of fish in the sea. What a revolting situation.

Hit this guy with a serious 500 baht fine, lesson learned..... wish I was Thai, can stab and rob people all you like for a mere pittance!

Holy poodle poops Batman! That is one iconic picture.

I hope no customers were hurt...........

You may call them homeless, but I prefer budget tourists. What better way to get to know the country and get some fresh air while your at it; sleeping under the bright Thailand stars! Cultural immersion at it's best.......

Holy Basil or hot basil doesn't smell that bad when cooking, it must be the chilies and garlic that are causing the strong odor(which is close in strength to a chemical weapon). Thank God LOS has so many of the finest generals to solve these problems!

So happy I left Thailand, this is just another great reason to never go back.

You won't find anyplace in Pattaya, much less most of Thailand to fill your needs. If you do though, please contact me!

Organic market, hahaahaha!

Ready, Fire, Aim!

I always bring a sweater, and it's the only time I get to wear my jeans in Thailand. love it!

I usually bring in $19k cash and just put it in two different carry-on bags, never had a problem. The money exchanges here give a better rate than the bank ATMs.

Looks like all those huge ugly Ad Billboards Along Thappraya Road have been removed(ocean side across from Bruno's as your going down the hill into Jomtien before Foodmart). Crossing my fingers that it stays this way and there isn't a megalopolis hotel going up in the huge vacant lot directly behind where the Billboards were. Hopefully this is part of the Mayor's new beautification program.

What 3 replies and still no link to the Wikipedia History of the the Chiliburger site!

Hi Again,

Per my previous post(noted below), I'm an American Citizen seeking a divorce from my Thai wife, in Thailand. We were married in Nevada, but resided in California for 8 years. Neither of us has resided in the USA for years; and she no longer has a US Greencard anyways. By California law, I cannot even start the divorce process as I have not been a resident for the last 6 months. As noted below, I can easily register the marriage in Thailand, then get a quicky divorce all in a day. But will the US Consulate here legalize(by affidavit) the divorce, so that it is recognized/valid in the US?

P.S. I have just got off the phone with the US Bangkok American Citizen Services and they informed me to get a lawyer. ( I was under the impression that I could sign an affidavit at the consulate that would make the Thailand divorce valid in the USA)

Hi,

Currently living in Thailand, as is my Thai wife; she does not have a valid greencard or travel visa for USA. We are separated but communicating on good terms and seeking a "no contest" divorce which will be legal in the USA/California.

We were granted a K1 fiance visa in 1999, and married in the state of Nevada. We lived together in California until 2007 when she returned to Thailand for good and we separated. Her greencard is expired and presently she has no way of going to the States to have the divorce executed there.

As previously stated, we need to execute this divorce in Thailand so that i can take the neccesary paperwork back to California and file the divorce. I'm not sure what this entails or how to go about either getting divorced in Thailand or what needs to be done back in the States once it is completed here. Any advice appreciated....

Cheers .

Not that difficult. First you and your soon to be ex-wife need to register the mariage at an amphur (district office). For that you need a letter from your embassy, (affadafid that that your marriage document is true), next you have it translated into Thai by a tranlation agency and then have is certified by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, consular department.

When that is done, you both simply go to the amphur and have the marriage recorded into the Thai wedding register. Now there is a record of your US wedding and you should be able to divorce in Thailand by simply stating that you want to divorce. (You will need 2 witnesses, not related to 1 of you).

It is probably also posible to legalise the marriage document in the US, through the Thai embassy. You could ask them about that.

I would select a big district office , where a lot of foreigners live. In Bangkok Bangrak is very popular. Ask them beforehand if you can register the marriage and get divorced in one go, in that case it should be not more than 1 hour before everything is settled.

If you have any assets to split you can make an agreement before you go to the amphur and enter the agreement into the divorce register. make sure it also complies with the law of the state where you are living in.

Not sure that two wrongs make that right.

If you try to flee, be prepared to actually get shot at by police or at least chased and what do you gain when they have your licence plate number ?

I think the gist of, getting away quick, is to escape way before police show up and if possible before the other party has a chance to note your license number. And in the case of some dumb ass side-swiping you and going down, while you are upright and unhurt; twist that throttle and leave that mess in your rear-view mirror, don't think, don't hestitate, take about 1/2 a second to catch your breath and split!

Sad but true advice, also make sure no one tries and grabs the keys off your bike before you get the &lt;deleted&gt; out of there. Furthermore it you are witness to an accident don't even think of being a "good samaritan" and helping the injured; you, being a foreigner, could quickly become involved financially since you have the deepest pockets.

Would consider buying one if I lived back in the States, but my 250 suits me just fine in Thailand.

So, the theater gave you the student card, and you didn't need to provide them with any proof?

Some great posts, funny but true. Not to mention any business names, but the large hardware store's employees next to Big C are amazing to behold. Last week there must have been 200 employees lazing, standing around chatting, oblivious to customers and superiors. Seems to be the same shtick every time I'm there. How do places like this make any money? I haven't a clue.

When I was a teenager I used to love to actually work at my drugstore or hardware store job, made the time go by faster.

Another place that has its supporters is the hotel behind the hospital on Klang, Cant remember the name at the moment. I went once and wasn't too impressed.

Could this be the old "Little Duck" hotel? Was refurbished about 5 years ago and serves a buffet for 150 baht as well. I found the omelettes, chunky potato fries and Thai food quite good but this one had no bacon.

Even the Apex and 2 Leks have gone stingy on the bacon. They now wrap a lousy bit of bacon on a 1 inch frankfurt, still better than no bacon at all.

Where there is bacon, I shall buffet. Where bacon is absent, I shall returneth not. (And bacon wrapped dogs don't count for bacon) This is the law of bacon.

Another delicious sh@t sandwich!

Hi,

Are people still being overcharged for Tourists or Normal Cambodian visas at the Poipet land crossing? I have heard that they have cleaned up there act recently and/or as long as you have the required visa fee in US dollars all is kosher........
