It doesn't do any good to their image if many of them are hiding their husbands while they try to seduce farangs.

vice versa..........

I think reputation of Englishmen looking for brides in Thailand is beyond salvation, it's not them I worry about. Most of them are way past mating age, too.

aaaah...those englishmen

They all think...... they are still "007" instead of "700".......oh well

Looking for brides?.....I would think at their age,...seeing flowers would scare them

007 - 7 = 0v0 KILROY WAS HERE!!!

A few weeks my wife and I were visiting her relatives in Surin. While we were waiting for the train home...a local girl asked my wife..."How can I find a farang husband?" My wife looked her straight in the eye and said "I bought him on Ebay, isn't that where everyone gets a farang husband".

BUT WHO'S CREDIT CARD DID SHE USE?!

A recent survey conducted by Igognito Maximus corp. showed that an overwhelming majority of farang women (0.1%) showed preferance towards dark skinned Issan man. The basic reason for this preferance was that "I know what I get", meaning, there is no illusion about the drinking habbits or work ethics, full and none, respectively.

What comes as a surprise learnt from the study, though is the fact, that when these husbands ask for some donation to their relevatives, the majority of the western women seem to agree that since it is their custom it is ok, as long as the husband behaves accordingly and satisfies their daily needs.

These Issan husbands seem to be more and more a going trend and some what worrying phonemenon among cultivated western males. "God only knows what will happen next" said one.

There has been some talk among western men about having a law that forbids women taking apart in so called "sex holidays" in the south eastern asia. Their claim is that "they are eating away our livelihood"

And this was a joke unless some of you did not get it

AND THE MALE SLAVERY SPREADS!!! IS THERE NO END IN SIGHT!?!

I was in a pub the other day and all I saw were fat old English guys gropping young girls. IF you want to touch them fine pay them take them back to your room, don't make everyone set there and about lose their lunches watch some old pervert fondle young women. In my travels its usually the European men who think this type of behavior is fine, try thinking about it as if it was your sister or your mother being treated this way. You guys are nothing but preverted pigs.

YEAH!!! AND STOP WEARING THOSE BIKINI SPEEDO BATHING SUIT COSTUMES TOO!!! DISGUSTING I TELL YA!!!

KEEP THAI BEACHES, BARS AND RESTAURANTS FREE FROM 'MEN IN BIKINIS POLLUTION'

I seem to remember reading somewhere or other that fathers aged over 50 of Thai children could get a 3 month visa extension to a non imm O visa at their local immigration office.

Could somebody please tell me whether this is a figment of my rather old imagination or if this is in fact still the case. If so what is the cost(1,900 bht?) and apart from the childs birth certificate what other documents or proof of earnings would be required?

My wife inquired at the Samui immigration office (their larger than life fees have been well documented on thaivisa)but they only gave her a leaflet regarding retirement visa extensions...and they kindly advised that the extension fee would be 5,000 baht and not 1,900 bht(I think that's right but correct me if I'm wrong??)....but hey who needs to drink tea when you can drink champaign!'

Many thanks for any feedback.

STOP BEING A LAZY GIT and go to Bangkok Immigration or take a visa run to Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, etc...

The time and "EXTRA" money you will have to pay to Immigration on Samui will be more in the end...and you'll get a road trip out of it.

The difference between Thai women and Western women in this poll.

1. In General Thai women are more honest about money being a motivator.

2. For most parts, Thai women are much less expensive to care for than a woman from most western countries,,,heck, you can even

take care of her whole family for less than the cost of most American or British women.

3. Thai women look on average better 5 to 1 than their western counterparts of equal age.

4. Thai women create far less drama in your life than most American, British and other western women do...FAR LESS

5. Thai women still understand the value of keeping a good home, cooking and do not know how to use a Microwave oven...Western women would rather go shopping, think that a Microwave oven is the ONLY cooking appliance in the home... and when you ask a Western woman

Man: "what's for dinner?"

...her usual reply is

Woman: "I don't know, where do you want to go out to eat?"

American men only feed into this suffering by asking

Man: "Where would you like to eat?"

with the inevitable answer by the woman being

Woman: "up to you, HONEY.

Man: OK Chinese food.

Woman: NO!!! We had that last week!

Man: Well, you pick then.

Woman: "I TOLD YOU ANYTHING IS OK!"

Man:

6. If a Thai woman wants you dead...she just kills you...if a farang woman wants to kill you...she divorces you...much, much slower, painful death!...and if there are kids involved...after you're are dead...the resuscitate you to make sure alimony and child support payments are made on time. There is no escape, since they take your driver's license, passport and paycheck until you pay any back money owed. (sad but true)

7. Thai woman will break your heart... Western woman just want to break you...like a wild Mustang horse until you are worthless and reduced to horse meat and glue.

SOLUTION: Understanding that all things in this life are impermanent. Be mindful of this, reflect on this and prepare.

A monk's life is a peaceful one.

Any western man who thinks western women are different, i.e., not seeking a wealthy partner, is deluding himself.

It hs always been thus......unfortunately.

"Man was born good, woman made him worst"

-Serge Gainsbourg-

Serge Gainsbourg was a brilliant man! I LIKE HIM!

My take on this is that Thai men are the lucky ones in this survey.

They don't have 61% of Thai women looking to them for their money.

They don't have Thai women looking to marry them and be the eventual downfall to their financial, emotional and physical demise.

Did you NOTICE?

There was no mention to ask how many of those women would still continue to have sex with Thai men, even though they would prefer to "Marry a Rich Farang".

That many would still keep a Thai lover even after they married a farang.

Seems Thai women married to Thai men are expected to maintain fidelity in marriage.

Thai women married to farangs are not...WHY YOU ASK?... because we are not the same as Thai people...didn't you know?

Oddly enough or not I have the same fire arms in my collection int the USA however; I'm fresh out of grenades!

Obviously you are a sportsman and use them for hunting. Very sporting.

He uses them for shooting "cans"....you know...Americans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Canadians...etc.

The two quarreled while having sex so she bit him and he called friends to send him to the hospital.

very bad move

Something else to think about………..

2007 - Chinese year of the Chicken - Bird Flu Pandemic devastates parts of Asia

2008 - Chinese year of the Horse - Equine Influenza decimates Australian racing

2009 - Chinese year of the Pig - Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of pigs around the globe.

It gets worse........next year......

2010 - Chinese year of the Cock - what could possibly go wrong?

This guy is a year early!!! Ouch!!

[/size]

That's TOO FUNNY!!! But you are right!!

I guess his cock-a-doodle don't anymore!

The penis is not an organ. The liver is an organ. The pancreas is an organ, etc.

Nitpicking, I know, but the news articles should at least state "penis". It's not like it is a dirty part of the anatomy.

I guess it's all about how you play the instrument...one girl's organ is another girl's ...LUNCH!!!

GOD HELP ME PLEASE!!!

He's got a lot of explaining to do when he shows up at the 'other lovers' sporting a woven penis.

Thai woman bites Belgian tourist's organ

PATTAYA: A Belgian tourist was severely injured early Thursday when his Thai lady bit his male organ and almost severed it, police said.

The tourist, Eddy Iam De Velde, 56, was rushed to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital and doctors managed to save the man's organ.

The hospital reported the event to police at 5:30 am.

The man told police from his hospital bed that his girlfriend, who he has been living with for about a month, injured him.

She said the woman became angry after learning that he had another Thai lover.

The two quarreled while having sex so she bit him and he called friends to send him to the hospital.

Police will arrest the woman whom has yet to be identified.

-- The Nation 2009-05-14

I know her!!! She is about 20 years younger than her boyfriend... she's about 5' 6" 166cm, long brown hair, brown eyes, has innocent face (except for the bit of blood at the corner of her mouth). Police might find her at bar she used to work at where boyfriend met her. YEAH..THATS IT!!

By the way...while it seems you'll be in the hospital for a while longer...would it be OK if I asked her out? I mean it's not like you'll be able to do anything if you could spend time with her.

....some stories just beg to have a life of their own!

100% buy a car. You will get to see far more of Thailand and Bangkok than you ever will using public transport. Not to mention the added freedom and safety of driving yourself. I wouldn't even consider not having a car now.

However, if you have never lived in Thailand before, please make sure you are fully insured.

When a farang gets into an accident 99.999% of the time you will have to pay not only for damages to other vehicle and person, but also very likely compensation to them as well. Failure to 'pay up" or provide proper coverage might land you in jail until you do. MOTORCYCLES ARE MUCH WORSE.

-Do not be in a rush to buy a vehicle.

-NEVER buy it via a girlfriend, or other person's name. If you can't own it in your name...you don't own it.

-Make sure you get proper documentation for ownership, registration and insurance...stupidity is not an acceptable excuse to police and court.

-Cost of maintaining vehicle does not outweigh cost of public transport...even taxis

DON'T BELIEVE ME OR ANYONE ELSE HERE..DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK.

OH YEAH... this is how it all started!!!

Aren't 8% rates for an onshore AUS$ acct. in Aust. for which you need to be an Aust. citizen/resident?

The best rates I have found for offshore AUS$ accts are around 7.2-7.4%

For UK pounds:

Money Supermarket

The best rates dominated by the Icelandic backed banks. A bit of a decision to make there juggling credit ratings and maximum guaranteed amounts covered if everything goes toes upwards.

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK FEES, TERMS AND RATES CLOSELY WITH Scandinavian, Swiss (and most EU banks) as well as Japanese banks. If you want to use your money and transfer often, the costs can be high. Singapore is closer, offshore, safer, Tax haven, open to multi-currency accounts… but you need to check if their interest rates are high enough return. If distance is not an issue…Dubai.

OBVIOUSLY THERE IS TRUE LOVE IN THAILAND...and found in the least likely places...

FOR THE LAST TIME!!!! IT WASN'T AN ELEPHANT!!!

IT WAS A DRUNK FARANG (from a country we won't mention...that seems to have more than a few fat men and women)...He didn't know what he did.... HE THOUGHT HE FOUND TRUE LOVE WITH BEER GOGGLES

"What happens in Thailand....Stays in Thailand"...well...so he thought!

UPSIDE IS: Maybe Thailand will use him as the 2010 Poster Child for the "MINDING HOW MUCH YOU DRINK"...or "DON'T DO DRUGS" CAMPAIGNS.

Wow that is surprising Bernie....or not

I cannot tell you how easy it was to open accounts at Bangkok Bank & SCB in Chiang Mai.

Makes you wonder eh?

I know TIT but I wonder if Farangs are just tolerated more in CM than BKK?

I know it is as others have said down to branch policy??? But still seems odd that

basically discrimination of sorts is considered as a branch policy.

Well if all else fails take a cruise up to CM for some shopping then open accounts.

Go back to BKK & make sure the same folks see you in the bank using them

I can tell you that if you are wearing a tank top and shorts you are less likely to be helped than if you wore long trousers and a button up shirt with long or short sleeves.

Bank Employees and staff think of themselves closer to Government Officials and workers.

If you walked into a Thai Immigration Office, Police Station or Government office wearing a Tank top, shorts and thongs you will get a lot less respect and service than if you dressed appropriately. Your lack of doing so just show them your lack of respect for their culture and authority.

And this:

2 weeks ago I was in BKK and saw a car I was interested in. I went to Kasikorn Bank to take 100.000 Baht for a deposit and Kasikorn charged me almost 500 Baht!!! Staff told me it would be the same charge at an ATM.

Finaly, I did not bought the car and the very same day they charged me almost 500 Baht again to bring my money back in to the bank.................... 1.000 Baht to hold my money in my hands for a few hours and bring it back.......

What's next??????????????????

What's next ??? Ever thought of PLANNING for such a transaction or do you want to operate 'Thai style'. Only an invertebrate would try and withdraw GBP 2.000 without some fore-thought

I guess with all of that hassle and expense Traveller's Cheques are about to become more popular.

And what do you get 80 minutes wait time for a stupid ride my son wanted to go on, Everest Expedition, I think it was called.

yes, i have checked their website for prices

67 USD for floridians, 75 bucks for everyone else. the racist bastards.

DISNEYLAND OFFERS ANNUAL PASSPORTS

I suggest you lock yourself in your room & seethe for the next 10 years.

Average Isaan migrant worker in Bangkok earns between 3000-8000 baht a month. Foreign expats can't get a work permit for less than 50,000 a month most earn in excess of 100,000.

Instead of looking at it as you getting ripped off, why not look at it as people poorer than yourself getting a discount ?

OK...so what you are saying is next time I see Richard Branson, Donald Trump or any number of well healed people that just because they have more I can charge them more for the same things everybody else pays a much lower price for?

99% of the time I pay only the Thai price for things. The fact I can speak Thai and understand Thai culture more so than the average farang helps tremendously....

The other 1% I have learned to just smile and walk away... when they come running to me saying OK OK...I sell you for Thai price... I with loving kindness tell them " I am sorry, I changed my mind, I no longer want it." while continuing to walk away.

I never do business with them again because I now know they are dishonest, and look at me differently.

I don't get upset with them, I just eliminate them from access to my life in the future.

I never do business with anyone I cannot trust, regardless of what country they come from.

Overall, I find farang (even fellow countrymen) most dishonest than most Thais.

If you get to know the Thai people...for who they are as a person, they will do the same.

You will always have one trying to get one over on you...but isn't that the same as your friends back home doing the same?

...and if you can tell me you never had any of your friends trying to get one over on you... I would like to to meet them... those friends are hard to come by... consider yourself very blessed.

ahaha..Guam girIs. BeautifuI! Guys, new destination for ya?

Been to Guam many times... these are not Chamorran women, They look Thai and definitely Filipino.

While most of them may have certain facial similarities...more than not Chamorran women have that

"just pulled the cord on the inflatable life raft" look...if you know what I mean. ... yeah these girls are definitely Filipino
