    Chairs stealing the beach again. So many chairs on Karon now also.

    A real shame one of the robbers got hurt. <sarcasm alert>

    What is the real name for "Tuhao"? If he is Chinese, it shouldn't be a Thai name like Chaiyanat Kornchayanant.

    A couple of weeks back there was a Finn in Udon caught on nearly 8 years overstay. He is likely a top ten. Probably in IDC right now.

    Nothing to do with caring. It's about understanding the prices quoted.

    Weather in Thailand is fine. I love it here everyday and never need aircon.

    Hope she gets uncomfortable soon.

    Some of these people could have flown to Singapore for a day or two and then avoided a stay in the IDC. Must be space cadets.

    Who knew? My Thai misses calls "kai yang" the condition where older farangs walking the beaches with speedo-type swim trunks have their balls hanging low.

    Surprised anyone wants to go to this event.

    A few years back beach chairs on a Phuket beach (Naiharn) went up to 200 baht. That's when I stopped renting chairs. Not sure how much they are charging now.

    Your 200 CAD must be worth a fortune now. Very clever.

    In Phuket, no driving license is 1000 baht, no helmet is 500 baht, and no bike registration is either 500 or 1000 baht. I have been hit with all of these on site fines. These are an awesome money maker for the police and do little to make the roads safer.

    Humiliated. Climate justice.

    Another case of Yaba?

    I think you can find okay/good wines from about 450+ baht at Villa Market. At that price point Australian and Chilean wines offer good value. Family Mart has some good enough wines (e.g. Gato Negro at 480 baht). Good on Family Mart. Winepro's offerings are more expensive (say 600 baht and up), but are much better quality. I would highly recommend people to go to a Winepro and take a look at what they sell.

    And this assumes that the building even gets built. Some don't, and where does the money flow?

    Both times an hour in Chalong. A few years ago I was asked to make a police report before the bank would issue a new bank card.

    Something similar to this has happened to me twice in the past 6 months. Some ATMs are bad news. Both times I never lost money. Then you need to go to the bank to get a new card, which takes a long time.

    Opening scene to Shakes the Clown.

    This idea is pie in the sky.

    Go to a language school or two and see if they can set you up with a stay based on taking Thai language classes. You will need some time on your passport to allow the school to go through the process. I am thinking 5 weeks. The school needs to get permission from the Thai Education ministry and this takes time. Thai language lessons are fun. Best of luck.

    Tom Yum, Pak Bung Fai Dang, and Yam Khai Kem are 3 of my favorites.

    Well that's him gone from LOS for 10 years after a holiday at the IDC.
