Anyone not aware of it the clocks changed back at midnight Saturday.
Just to be particularly pedantic, it was 1am on Sunday not midnight Saturday
Good Luck
Moss
Just to be extra-extra pedantic, I think you'll find it was 2am on Sunday ........
(it always used to be - I must admit to being out of touch though)

Lateness does seem to work in ones favour sometimes. Many years ago (1986 actually) a girl I had arranged to meet at a certain time at a certain place - a bar fortunately, failed to turn up. I got pissed, both in the English and American senses, and then went elsewhere and happened to meet 'her indoors', who has been my wife for 18 years so far. The orginal girl turned up 4 days later with a really lame excuse and wondered why I wasn't interested ...

Siam Commercial Bank automatically add 20 baht onto anything you withdraw from their ATMs. The amount is negligible - but the principle is not.

Have you actually asked this 'friend' what happened to the money yet? I can't quite see why you are asking people you don't know what to do, when you haven't even apparently done the obvious yet. Ask him - and then come back and whinge about the 28K you seem to have lost.

15 and she still believes in Santa Claus? Beautiful. That's how innocent kids should be. But ......
.... does she know where babies come from yet?

So, I'm not the only one confused then. What 'drinking ban' do we think that gk is talking about?

I tried to vote but all I got was
The error returned was:
You did not choose a poll choice to vote against. Please go back and ensure you click on one of the radio buttons next to the choice you wish to vote for
For the record - I went for "what a daft question" !

There's good and bad wherever you go in life it's just a shame that some folk can't recognise that fact and will junk a place on the basis of one bad experience.
I think Kerryd is right, an awful lot of what you get back out of life mirrors what you put in.
Edit - some computer problem - I typed a load and nothing appeared on the forum!
To reiterate - I agree with Kerryd, and I have had more problems with bignoses than Thais in all the years I've been in Pattaya. It's nice to hear that other people have the same good experiences - it's usually the bad ones you hear about rather than the good ones.

Am I the only one that doesn't see a connection between the title and the text?

It would seem that someone has wondered about some of these things - and others as well!

It was about 33 Baht to the pound when I first got to Thailand - I was there when it got to 97 ish to the pound. Hiccups around the 55 to 70 it's doing at the moment are bloody annoying, but not reason for me to leave.
-
Meanwhile, the Baht to Sterling rate has dropped by about 3 and is still going down. If you wanted the cheapest way to send 2.5k squids to Thailand, you should have done it several days ago!!

Apparently it also causes you to hit 'SEND' before you've fini

Slow internet thingy. Double post.

Fred, please learn how to re-format forwaded emails to make them easier on the eyes ....

I've used it as part of an introduction to algebra with a year six class in England. About a fifth of the children were able to solve the problem within ten minutes. There's a pattern in the moves if you look closely enough.
I'm out of the loop "UK education - wise". What is a year six class?
-
in conclusion and to say it again: It is not about the price, I am happy to pay 420 Baht for the bottle if they would have quoted that in the first place or just opted for a different beverage that I would have deemed better value for money. It is the price increase, followed by not taking the responsibilty for a mistake and finally an overreaction from that lady leaving two regulars less for a not-so well running establishment.
I wish I had ten Baht for every time that has happened to me there!

There's one on Sukhumvit Road (North Star I think it's called) and one on Soi Yodsak
Hence all the jokes about going to the 'library' on Soi 6

I'll give that a thumbs up. Topical, clever and funny!

Perhaps not a word?
กรุงเทพมหานครอมรรัตนโกสินทร์มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลกภพนพรัตน์ราชธานีบุรีรมย์อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถานอมรพิมานอวตารสถิตสักกะทัตติยะวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์

This compound word will be divided to:
กรุง เทพ มหา นคร อม รัตนโกสินทร์ ยา มหา ดิลก ภพ นพรัตน์ ราช ธานี บุรี รมย์ อุดม สถาน พิมาน อวตาร สัก กะ ติ ยะ วิษณุ กรรม ประ สิทธิ์
... and at least one bit into quite a few more than 5 characters ......

It's interesting to note that of the three jokes that Altum Angel posted at the same time, this one has had nearly three times the hits of the other two. Maybe I'm cynical, but could this be because it had the word 'condom' in the title?
-
Interesting. Took me less than a minute.

Perhaps my sense of humour is having a day off as I didn't find it the least bit amusing. I do think the line "given Thai's poor aviation safety record" is particularly out of place in this attempt at being funny.
Promptness Is A Big 'mai Pen Rai' For Thais

My wife doesn't need your pity, thanks very much. To what do I owe the rather insulting insinuation?
Errr - grammar. Sorry - I'm just pedantic like that ..
Speak for yourself. I gave up being insulted and getting angry many years ago. Never had an ulcer, and don't intend to. Perhaps that is why I like the laid-back lifestyle of the Thais ....
