Dont mind as long as they are pretty. Better than the millions of photos of the meal they are just about to eat.

Interesting in that it says "For Holiday purposes including Property-owning" although I guess that would mean condo's

So how does this stop a suicide bomber?

Not sure if this has been on here but my son just sent me this link . Interesting that a lot of the comments think the telephone cables are power cables but when you get to the other side the power cables seem awefully close.

Sorry,not sure how to post video

Quote: "It just hasn't been tried, so we don't know," said Rep. Emily Virgin, a Democrat from Norman who is opposed to the death penalty.

Now looking for volunteers.

Why is it that often, from memory only every 10 yrs in Australia.

Might have fallen off the ladder and hit his head. That would explain the thump.

OP. You do know you have to give way to the left here?

Really, I thought the only give way rules here was to give way to the bigger car/truck ( or Merc,BMW etc)

Get a hobby, please!!

That is his hobby

Been going to Thailand for about 36 years and still never used one, cos I am not sure how. We need a You-tube video explaining all the ins and outs, pros and cons and dangers or joys of using them.

Try it. Make sure you don't get your elbow wet.

Thats what I'm afraid of, I'm sure I am going to saturate my trousers,paper roll and anything else in the stall.

Actually, just remembered on the last trip (about a month ago) I tried one of those fancy inbuilt ones at Terminal 21 and quite enjoyed it, but that is a different proposition than a bum gun.

When you had the air con repaired the mechanic probably would have removed one of the battery leads then when he replaced it forgot to tighten it.

That could explain the problems you have experienced.

That was exactly what I was thinking

Jeez, he must have gotten to the airport early if he had time to get back to Pattaya, get his wallet and then still get back to the airport in time.

Three hours, who cares? Unless you are an alcoholic.

That was my 1st thought too, but it could be annoying if your at the supermarket and want to buy some for that evening, but then have to come back in peak hour traffic just to get a bottle or 2.

And its not like that law is going to help alcoholism, and if its a school-kid thing whats wrong with ID tags.

I was up there a couple of weeks ago and its not like there are signs saying "Dont kick the bells". He was probably unaware it isn't the done thing.

And why would he kill himself over his gf leaving if he already had another on the go?

How on earth did they think they were going to get them thru the x-ray machine?

Irreplaceable

Commonly stolen in Australia too. Thats why many new houses being built have temp. fencing around then, stop crims stealing the copper pipe.

Be interesting to hear the tourists view of the driver

Our Australian electricity bill tops $1000 for the summer quarter. Maybe $600 each other quarter. My gas bill is average $250 a quarter. That's for 3 of us but our daughter is only 2 .

Shopping food bill is about $300 a week. We eat pretty well. But nappies are in that and they're expensive. Water bill is around $200 a quarter.

Add mortgage and cars and the rest of life costs in its crazy really.

Just a comparison for you.

How about comparing the average wage in Australia to the average wage in Thailand. Then perhaps you might have a better understanding !

That's what I've been thinking, it might be cheap for us but sometimes I wonder how the Thais can afford to live.Cars are dearer here than Australia yet there are lots of new expensive cars out there on the road. Electrical goods like TV,s are dearer, phones are dearer, petrol is about the same as Oz, houses seem to be about 1/3 the price yet the average wage is about 5 times higher in Australia. I guess the actual living costs (taxes,electricity,water,food,clothes) are cheaper but I am sure we are better off

Maybe you inadvertently upset someone at the bar with something you said, and they felt the need to get even, their way

Ever wondered why Thais gave up on the idea building the rail tracks themselves?

Here is the answer:

Well, who of us here would be game to go on a fast train line built by the Thais?

Before I'd shake hands with a Thai man I'd want to know what was the last type of toilet he used.

1. With toilet paper

2. With bum gum

3. With neither

Last week was on Suk Soi 19 and wanted to go with my thai wife and daughter to the Grand Palace, as my daughter hasnt been there since she was a kid.

Missus stopped 4 taxis before she found one who would go, all saying the traffic was too bad. 5th one took us and the traffic wasn't too bad at all.Was that happy with his service gave him a 40 bht tip.

Can't work them out.
