  1. in Phuket you can can the same prime land with a private beach ( 200 Metre Frontage ) at 25 million a rai.

    The land is most probably worth around 12-15 Million THB, as you can still but Beachfront in Choeng Mon at 20 !

    recent land sales have been about 10 million a rai in that area ( on large land purchases )

    Cheers

  2. A Ritchie County, West Virginia farmer got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring farm and knocked at the door. A young boy about 9 years old opened the door.

    'Is yer Dad home?' the farmer asked. 'No sir, he ain't,' the boy replied. 'He went into town.'

    'Well,' said the farmer, 'is yer Mom here?'

    'No, sir, she ain't here neither. She went into town with Dad.'

    'How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?'

    'He went with Mom and Dad.'

    The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.

    'Is there anything I can do fer ya?' the boy asked politely. 'I know where all the tools are if you want to borry one. Or maybe I could take a message fer Dad.'

    'Well,' said the farmer uncomfortably, 'I really wanted to talk to yer Dad. It's about your Brother Howard getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, Pregnant.'

    The boy considered for a moment. 'You would have to talk to Pa about that' he finally conceded. 'If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know

    how much he gets fer Howard.'

  3. An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared offices with several other doctors.

    The waiting room was filled with patients.

    As he approached the receptionist's desk, he noticed that the receptionist was a large un-friendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler.

    He gave her his name.

    In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, 'YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?'

    All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man.

    He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, 'NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS.'

  4. So you've all seen and heard the news about Paris Hilton getting jail sentence for failing to comply with her probation terms and that the original charges were both DUIs. Well done, serves her right.

    But look closer to home and I see at least one drunk driver who killed a couple of people when he ran a red light at Teuk Chai intersectionin Bangkok some years. He's still quite a well know model and singer by the name of Dome - Pakornlam.

    I remember he got bailed out of jail at the police station almost immediately. A couple of years later he was a Thai nominee for the first MTV Asia Music Award. Now he still gets cover page on magazines from time to time.

    I see, is this how we reward irresponsible citizens who took other people's lives? One of the dead was a father.

    Sure, we cannot bring back lives. But Dome did not serve a prison term. The community service requirement was not stipulated by the law at the time. Ok, so the court of law was bloody generous with him.

    How about the entertainment industry? Don't they have any sense of social responsibility for churning out socially irresponsible artists? A rich kid like Dome won't starve if he cannot find a job.

    So long as the music label continue to make money on someone else's tombstone like this and the general public forgets his devious past, the sinner would still get away with murder.
