So how was the high season for every one ?

I managed to double my electric bill.

lol ,

The law is the law. i think that over staying more than 6 weeks is just ingorant and most otger countries would not have it. a few days can be pu t down to bad luck or a small mistake but 6 weeks it just taking the chocholate digestive. they deserve prison. they need to be reminded that there are laws here and to bring some of their brains with them when they come to Thailand

agree bigc, this aint REd Tape Europe where you can get away with it !, or even better, a nice big house and $1000 dollars a week untill they find out who you are, if you are over, its deportation or the detention centre in BKK, which isnt nice !!!!

still cant understand WHY people can become an overstay? , either pure laziness or just plan dumb !,

NOTE - 1, 2 or 3 days ok , or if you have a medical issue, but 2 weeks and over !

he also owns the shop about 3 shops up from the Coffee place in tesco, opposite the Thai Music store in tesco

Imogen, 29, looked great in a lime green two-piece that struggled to keep her ample chest securely in place.

Worrisome. So every 60th person affected

Reading the article it seems like the 1 million figure is those currently identified as infected, and receiving treatment. It would seem logical that the actual figure of those infected is somewhat greater?

so in theory , it would be double?

was in a bar in central bangrak tonight, 3am,,, there was a bunch of guys from France who were enjoying their night out and performing like a bunch of school boys,,, pretending to be faggots and dancing about on tables in jockey shorts,,, thought it was funny first,,, till I realised that the 7 geezers WERE a bunch of faggots and seriously thought pouring beer on themselves topless and in briefs whilst gyrating to " I'm sexy and I know it " time for a sharp exit,,, along with the dissapointed Bar Girls who got no attention and realised there was no money on this crowd...

actually,,, it WAS pretty funny,,, but I aint no puff mind.

ps,,, am I homophobic ?

i am sure Jingthing will start a poll just to check ....

but what where 7 French Gays doing in Bangrak? , would have thought it wasnt there scene ...

you need a very good contract here !!!, as ' Offically ' it cant be called a mortgage, as legally Foreigners cannot lend money in Thailand !

i do know a lawyer who has done this before, and can prepare the contracts, but they are not cheap , but he knowes what he is doing, and neither party will have a headache 5 or 10 years down the line

is this some weird PR stunt for the Coconut Bar??? .... doesnt quite have the same thrill as the old Women Mud Wrestling that used to be in Lamai Years Ago...

Photos

looks like a staff bull terrior, and a very expensive dog !, i would quickly put posters up ASAP and offer a very generous reward.. as that dog is not your simple Soi Dog, and somebody might of taken to sell on

Good luck

Bangkok Airways aint no budget airline if you ask me !

on there other routes, they are classed as ' budget ' as they are all similar prices, only samui route is the complete opposite...

not to sure if the Dr has enough connections to stay at swampy, would really mess up the tourism here if they cant get the connection right between Swampy and DM

i always take through 800 in a clear duty free bag, never been stopped ( touch wood ) , and i have seen customs officers looking ... but i suppose they are after the bigger fish, and if you are openly showing them , they cant be bothered as they know you probably dont have any more and for personal use

This really is incredibly exciting.....

having a look over his facebook page, is he Bi Polar? , as half his page suggests he is a Bad Arse Gangster , and the other half is Fluffy Bunnies, Spending Hours a day with needy children of pattaya and feeding soi Dogs ! .. cant make this guy out !

the Thai office of www.wonga.com ? ...

why do people still wear these gold necklaces !, if anything they look tacky as hell !, unless you are after a 20 year bar girl

"...anyway, as a forigner, you must report anything lost or stolen to the Tourist Police , they are located in Samui Town Centre.

I don't know about "must," as they are not actual law enforcement, and for insurance purposes, you need to report to the local law enforcement agency.

If you think this has anything to do with ever recovering your phone, you are wrong, you know that.

I too would be interested in how your phone was stolen at such an hour when it must have been all but deserted.

the only reason i say ' must ' is the normal BIB will always say to go there, plus for insurance purposes, the tourist police write the report in thai and english ..

but as you mentioned above, i would also like to know how the phone was ' stolen ' , as the place is covered in CCTV, and i would think to be the last place to get a phone stolen !,

maybe the OP just lost it? ,

also , England play Ireland on that Day, will you be showing the Game?

why would you file a report in naton when they have moved the main police station to chaweng? ( the naton station has been demolished )

anyway, as a forigner, you must report anything lost or stolen to the Tourist Police , they are located in Samui Town Centre...

also , i would get your story straight, as why would you been in samui airport at 5.15 am ( just arrived back ) as the first flight doesnt arrive in Samui airport untill 7.05 am ! ( they are very heavy with people claiming insurance fraud ! )

well i have applied for the job, heard they are paying 500,000 THB per month for 6 months, full board at the Banyan Tree...

i think my graph will secure the job

Low the carbon print...

with the 3000cc diesel engine of the pick up/suv running idle to keep the car fresh while shopping one hour at Tesco

(Thai and Farang as well)

and all the old vehicles which would be illigal in the west pumping out god knowes !
