they threaten to <deleted> up the sexworkers ?

My conversation would go more like this:

Other group, "we requested this song first!"

Me, "that's funny cos I didn't request any <deleted> song!"

Other group, "mind if we sing it then?"

Me, "please go ahead, I would rather trap my nuts in a revolving door than do Karaoke!"

Guess i'm just not Asian enough, Karaoke to me spells public humiliation and why people would wanna pay for it is way beyond me............

It's odd isn't it. They say Thais don't like losing face (actually I don't know anyone who does) but they love karaoke which looks to have the same result.

I would rather trap my nuts in a revolving door than do Karaoke!"

That's about the same sound in many cases.

write a book and i will buy it .

Thai-ears can not hear if you are out of tune ,but they here the difference between high and low better than us.

that's why we can hear them singing out of tune ,but cannot speak fluently thai in the correct intonation.

Or can you hear the difference between : kai,kai,kai,kai,kai? or more easy : maa,maa,maa,maa,maa ?

Well they can,or they are all liars and it's all a joke ?

Beware,smiling killers all around you !

Dont be fooled by a smile ,could be a predator .

Stay away from predator -places: mass events ,karaoke's,big cheap restaurants,beaches with more than 1 parasol,......thais in a car (don't speak to them,never horn.......)

TIT means : wild west

Always remember the saying: Never trust the mental health of a person that forces themselves to smile through every emotion and event, and kowtows to people that mistreat them everyday.

And there are a lot of these "persons" ,so you better smile back and keep your thoughts inside (unless you thrust them )

We live amongst a majority of "@#$*mfrs*&".

So we have to adapt on their s-behaviour ,you can not fight it ,it is overwhelming ,so relax and feel

happy that you are a 1 % -r .

I fill in the departure cards (x4) at home ,because it saves me a lot of hassle on check-in.

Where do you pick up the departure forms before you go to the airport?

You can ask them on board any flight ,or just walk into the airport and ask them at a check in gate.

Or download it?

Cop on the right thinks it is just plain hilarious. Of course the boys father is nowhere to be found to defend his son.

maybe the father took the picture?

Thank you.

Here is what I think everyone is saying:When leaving Thailand:

At the airline desk she shows the passport of the destination country (Germany) At immigration exit she shows the passport that allows her to be in the country she is departing(Thailand).

When returning reverse the process.

Yeah, me.

In Bangkok:

- show airline check in both passports. German to show no visa needed for EU destination. Airline will need to know this before they issue the boarding pass. Thai passport to show the child will need a departure form.

immigration- fill in Thai departure card, using details of Thai passport. Show officer Thai passport, departure card and boarding pass. Get stamped out. Immigration officer will staple arrival card into the Thai passport to use on the return trip.

Destination: enter on German passport

Returning:

Same as above, show airline check in both passports. Exit formalities as per they are done in eu country.

Arrive in Thailand. Fill in arrival card which has been stapled in Thai passport. Show Thai passport to immigration officer, get stamped in with no limit on stay.

this is exactly how we travel with our 2 children and my wife.

I fill in the departure cards (x4) at home ,because it saves me a lot of hassle on check-in.

I always show the 2 passports.

Take away the money they can not prove the source of .

This simple it is .

They came to their high post BECAUSE the millions they stole /bribed/.....long before .

If i want to put 10000 eu in a euro bank ,they ask me where i got the money.

When i take it out later ,they ask me why i need the money ,because i can not pay with it !

I need a bank check because nobody may accept cash anymore .

Change your roof into a flat roof .Much cooler ,no animals and shit ,and you can make it a fine terras in the evenings .

The 800k in the bank, if you are not spending it already what money are you living on ?

He probably has more income than 800k /year,seems a strange situation to you?

Someone please wake me up when there is a credible report of one farang losing his private house due to this new enforcement; otherwise it is just another smoke and mirrors crackdown

I hope you're right for so many people on this board that it's all smoke and mirrors, but fact is that NOBODY at this point knows if it is so or not, and that include our local troll Jsixpack.

The future will tell how serious it is, but nobody will lose his property since I think the courts will allow a certain period to get legal.

Pity thing is that when a few thousand properties are on fire sale, the prices will drop as a rock, and that will include condo sales in foreign name and rental prices.

It is all scary stuff,not just for property owners,for everyone.

Nobody in their right mind would want to stay in Thailand if these things come to pass,even the renters would want out with all their possessions,cars,bikes,furniture even their dogs and animals would be abandoned . The decline would be remarkable,guys who have known each other for years would suddenly vanish.

But these things have happened before ,so just getting used to the idea that it will all ba a'changin',easier when young,not so getting old.

Iam a renter (because I cannot own land in my own name).....

Why would I not want to stay ? not as though my life will change because people that have houses in dodgy companies lost their lot.

if you want to rent ,it will be from a Thai.

And if the Thai doubles the rent (because the farang houses are not there anymore) than you pay or leave.

Thais will buy all those farang houses and then start pressing you.

Or a new law forbids you to rent more than 30 days?

See who will be a renter then?

You can start a thai company with equal thai partners(no nominees) ,who really put their money in it.........

And next year they will make a new law that says that it is illegal to Be a farang in a thai company ,

so you will never be sure here .Better not to invest in thailand,just spend some money and have a life somewhere else where they

deserve it .

How can something be wrong ?

You can make a thai company ,pay taxes.....and then they change the law ?

Nominees is not a farang invention ,so punish the lawyers and give the farang his money back .

It is also forbidden to give the house /land /money to your wife !

So maybe burn it ?

Hopefully it is true this time!

yes, the people with money(not you) are fooled by lawyers and now maybe will loose

their investment,so you must be very happy but still you will have to line up to be kicked out

because thailand does not want poor tourists (nor rich ones).

get a life

the youngster are not doing this for the thrill .

They are used to see their sisters drive an unlit motorcycle on the wrong way of the road,

taking corners with 1 hand while texting and holding their baby.Of course without a helmet,

insurance,drivers license .........So ,no thrill seen in extremely dangerous driving.

Why they do it ? " Face ",it is all about "face" ,winning ,being the hero for a moment in front of a public.

If no public ,they drive also as idiots but nothing to win,no thrill .

Dont make them loose "face",they will kill for that .

ebola is not epidemic ,it acts too fast.Once infected you don't walk for long and you die .

That's why it was always present in Africa,in the bush.Could not spread very wide.

But now air travel makes it possible to spread it everywhere,but it will not be epidemic because the host

will die too soon for the virus to start an epidemic.

Eb Ola

it is quiet easy to find the difference!

If you push on the **burger, you listen:

- when you hear booooaa , it is a beefburger

- when you hear knorr, it is a hamburger.

enjoy you meal.

i heard "woef" ?

Maybe a cat?

Be careful when passing a big tree with flower and color-ribbons around his waist .

Sometimes these trees can cross the street ,and prudent Thais horn when

passing them .This is no joke .

ask him "how thick is your toilet paper"

Mine is very very thin ,so watch out !

A toppling crane (also a tree ,high chimney ......) falls rather slow at the base and more rapidly on the top.

But it was 50 m high ! Is there no time to stop when you are driving towards it ?

Looks as if the drivers did not see it happening ,there are no tire marks ,no braking at all ?

Luckily not a lot of traffic .

private schools like Regent school ask about 1 million thb /year for 1 child (food ,sleeping in ,........)

And they can not pay a teacher a decent salary so he can pay for his own wp? 

difficult to get from HCMC to Na Trang 

only 1 flight /day

always full booked 

so prepare well in time
