There's plenty of parking directly outside the embassy in the central bit of the road (Queensgate), but it's bloody expensive. Additionally, since they've moved the congestion charge goalposts, the embassy is now in the charge area, so will add another £8 to the cost. However, if travelling any distance, it's still cheaper to go by car than train. The missus and I can do a return in the car from Liverpool for about £70 whereas the train would be at least a ton plus.

Scouse.

Loads of resident/permit parking outside the embassy be carefull you will get a ticket or a clamp ,any parking metres in the area at the time of day you will go to the area will be full and you will be lucky to find a space .

JB

It would be hard to find parking in the area the embassy is only 5 mins walk from the underground station .

Well Bubba, I have learned one GOOD lesson. Live on or beside your pond or you will have NO fish. Other than that, I know very little.

Gary have seen u post many times about the pond/lake that was emptied , how big was this pond ? from my experience its impossible to empty a pond/lake of fish by netting . If anyone is building a pond/lake and they put an island in the middle there is not a chance in hel_l that pond/lake could ever be emptied by netting . We are at the moment digging 3 ponds 2 x 50 metres wide by 110 mtre long and the other 100 metres wide by 160 mtrs long from past experience the bigger pond ( with island ) could be netted day and nite and it could never be cleaned out of fish .

Nice 3 week break back in Thailand after my toils in the Gulf since July. We're having a week up in Ubon before returning home to Chaiyaphum for the remaining 2 weeks. Beautiful up here near the Sirindhorn Dam, rellies place is about 300m from the reservoir cross country and the Vigo eats it for breakfast. Then its just me and the grazing water buffalos down by the water. I set up my go-anywhere hammock between 2 suitably distanced trees in a large clump of them so that you're shaded for most of the day. Then its grass mat down, ice-bucket and Leo expertly positioned and book in hand, work feels like a lifetime ago, instead of just a few days. I did my 1st 300 page book in 24 hours and now realise I need to visit a decent book shop on the way back to Chaiyaphum before reading matter gets critically low. Staying in a new hotel in Phibun Mangsahan this trip as the bungalows we normally stay in on the bank of the Sirindhorn reservoir were fully booked. Nice and clean for 850 Baht per night.

Some of the family live up in the mountains on the Laos border and I heard they were harvesting rubber, so always looking to learn something new we jumped in the pickup and scooted past Chong Mek (Thai-Laos border post) and up into the hills. This was the first time I had visited this family's home, even though I had met them previously at another relatives place. Even so, they made me feel like a visiting prince and I reciprocated with goodies for all the kids. Not a soul asked for a beer or a sniff of rubbing alcohol which was very refreshing. The Vigo then got to work getting us up to where the rubber tree's were planted and the whole way up I was getting all the economics of rubber farming from "papa" in my usual Q&A session, from someone who has more knowledge than me on a subject. He showed me through the whole process from shaving the tree bark, collecting the sap, drying it in the sun and running it through a mangle into 1Kg blankets. Gave me alot of ideas for our farm in Chaiyaphum and we ended our trip with a run round gathering a couple of hundred seed pods and saplings to take back with us. If you've never seen a rubber tree plantation it reminds me of how the army plant trees, in straight lines, shoulder to shoulder, equal distances apart. The trunk grows about 5 metres before it branches and the spacing ensures the canopy is dense enough so that when you are under the trees you are completely shaded with a nice breeze running between the trunks it was idyllic!....perfect hammock slinging territory!

Just before we set-off, papa (ubiquitous term for any male who is older than me) set about a 3-inch thick bamboo stem on a 20+ foot bamboo, cutting it down and then into about 4 foot sections, basically cutting after every second knuckle that you get on bamboo. This was slung in the back of the pickup (did I say how much I love my Vigo....lol) with the explanation from the missus that it was for papa.

After, we negotiated our way back off the mountain we got back to the family home where numbers had tripled and another visit to the local shop was required to stock up on more goodies for the kiddies. My new best friend who runs the shop now knew what was on my shopping list and promptly filled up 3 carrier bags with the required treasures. Back at the family home another cottage industry was in full flow with all of the women weaving the baskets they use to steam sticky rice over the aluminium cauldrons that are everywhere in this part of the world. 5 Baht per basket and 10 baskets per day is the norm! This explained the bamboo in the back of the pickup but when I asked Tae if I should unload it she looked at me as if I had grown a 3rd head and when I reminded her that she said it was for papa, she said yes, more golden silence then the penny dropped, "not this papa, papa!", this was code for the kids grandfather who we were visiting, if only the Germans had let the Thai's programme the Enigma device, we would all be speaking German and Bangkok would have a bullet train link direct to Tokyo! I digress. I had a go at the weaving and it was fun, it must have been coz all the women were wetting themselves! I love being the fool in this part of the world, at 6ft and 280lbs I can be a bit scarry to the average rural Isaanite, but I always let Tae shove me around and tell me off for joking about as this never fails to break the ice, she's 5ft in heels and 100lbs in a soaking wet duffle-coat.

Later we saw the people who buy the baskets visiting most of the houses in this village and driving off with probably a 1000 or so in the back of their pickup. We later saw the pickup at the market in Chong Mek so that was the whole cycle, I felt like i'd just lived a Discovery Channel "How its made" programme from cut bamboo to re-sale.

Anyway that's about it for my 1st day back. Lots of snakes about at the moment, saw 4 yesterday alone, a python and 3 nasty looking buggers who were all at least 5ft long.

It's great to be back, cheers....TT.

Best post i have ever read on TV ........Enjoy the rest of your trip .

All it takes is one incident for brain damage to occur.

Macb maybe its time you cleared up is your wife a crap mother or not ? If she is a danger to your dtr or not ? i must be reading this thread a little different to some others because the way i read it is that she is a good mother but in macbs eyes a crap wife and that is why the marraige is over .

JB

Indeed, you are correct MrSquigle. Shaken baby syndrome can be deadly and is not something to take lightly. Shaking your baby so hard is a form of child abuse.

An estimated 1,200 to 1,400 cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) occur each year in the United States. Only 1 out of 4 babies dies of Shaken Baby Syndrome. HOWEVER, the other three babies will need ongoing medical attention for the rest of their short lifespans.

If you are unsure about any damage this website is quite comprehensive:

www.dontshake.com

Frankly, I agree with MrSquigle here, she is abusing the child-- it does not really matter for whatever reasons, but the child's future could be at stake here, and I would not leave a baby alone with her either.

What about the rest of the thread where it says the woman has breastfed the baby this past 10 mths , macb post that she spends a lot of time laying downstairs with the baby , he also posted that when she goes to her mothers and family she takes the baby with her .

She does not sound like a mother that does not love her baby .

JB

Okay let me explain things once again, to certain posters :

I cannot make instant spontaneous decisions overnight I am going to speak to lawyers this weekend, I have Ron and Andy nearby who will know if anything is amiss and let me know:

I have already said I will do what is right for my daughter, at the moment i got to let it sink into the wifes head that she has lost me forever:

But my daughter will know her father and I will take the correct course of action :

My wife will now be losing face within her family and in the village

Losing face is BS no one should have to live a life with someone that they dont want to live with , IF your wife is losing face it will pass and she will get on with her NEW life the same as you will . You dont need a lawyer Macb you just need to talk with your wife and sort out and get her to agree with what suits you and is best for you and your daughter .

The way i see it you will get settled quickly into your NEW life and will have access to your dtr when you want it , you will spend quality time with her , you seem set in your ways that there is no return to the marriage so now set some goals and a gameplan and and start your new life .

Lifes too short macb dont waste it .

JB

by a mother who pulls a knife on daddy and shakes the child violantly and tells daddy she does not love him.

good call.

<deleted> has if she loves daddy or not got to do with it ? If the child was in any danger Macb would have not left her behind when he went to petchabun .

Yes my call is a good call thanx for the comment .

JB

Just a question, how can you 'do the best' for your daughter if she is not with you, if she is left in a village to grow up and go to school when she has the ooportunity to do better and more importantly when the mother does what she does ??

If you have friends, good friends, would any of them offer to help you take care of her for a short time until you settle and sort your shit out ?

Macb can do best for her by supporting her and having visiting rights and spending quality time with her , he will also be in the driving seat for any important decisions concerning her future .

Imho taking her out of the village away from her mother and family will not be a good move if macb beleives she will be well cared for in the village.

JB

Why oh why put acquisitions into an other person's name? another lesson learned the hard way. It's the last time he's gonna do that.

Noobs make sure to read this thread.

Thomo how much land in Thailand do you have in YOUR name ?

To build a detached house land is needed so how do you buy it in your OWN name .

JB

She has TOLD macb i am bored with you and i want this marriage over .

Its a polite way of saying i dont love you or care about you and i want you the <deleted> out of my life .

She has for a long period of time told macb that she wants him out of her life , she does not sleep with him she does not cook or wash his clothes she is so depressed that macb does not just pack up and leave for her its over and has been for a long time ( by the way we dont know why she pulled the knife ) why did she pull the knife macb my guess is you were doing her head in ?

This marriage is over .... THIS MARRIAGE IS OVER .

Imho its about time macb did the decent thing and left and let his wife get on with her life and started to rebuild his .

The babys welfare the sorting of house car etc etc and all be sorted when they sit down and talk ( if thats possible ) .

JB

Macb

I have read the whole thread ..........

The taking of a knife to you was a build up of frustration over a long period of time she wants this marriage over and you are driving her insane .

You have posted yourself that your wife spends her time downstairs with the baby laying on the floor with the baby and takes her to her mothers if the child was in danger you would not allow that to happen .......

She wants to see the back of you i would guess that if you sat down with her she would let you sell the house and take the money just so that she will get her life back on track .You post too much about bricks motar pick up truck gold what you have given to family for my liking , how about concerntrating on whats best for you all for all your happiness and futures .

Gold .......what man gives his wife presents and then thinks of taking them back ?

Reading this thread you seem prone to making one error after another .............

What man takes his wife to bkk especially a man that has his marriage in trouble to Nana bloody plaza hotel in the middle of the red light district in Bkk and leaves his wife and child in the room and goes out on the piss ?.

Much better option was to book a nice hotel with a pool and spend two or three days there with your wife and baby to see if there was anything left of your marriage ....taking it a stage further maybe even a nice holiday to hua hin of samui , some of that hard earned pension imho would have been well spent .

At least you could have said you gave it a try ...................

Macb your marriage is over now spend some of the time you spend on this forum talking to your wife and get yours/ hers and your babys life sorted and back on track so you can all find some happiness .

JB

Well what a lovely day :

Slept upstairs locked my door encase pe bob came around, just sent an other email to Issan Lawyers, She has just gone to her mothers with the daughter, she had a phone call late last night, they are up to something or something is going on :

I need to get what I can I need the pick- up (She cant drive anyway) and maybe some her gold, Yes I got a good income each month, well I cant get ripped off again can I as was said only monthly

Macb

Why dont you sit down with your wife and chat with her , your biggest concern now is your baby .

Does she want to keep and take care of the baby ? is she a capable loving mother? will she give you access to your daughter so that you can take her away to spend quality time with you .

The bricks and motar .....if she keeps the baby surely you let her keep the house so that your baby has a decent roof over her head .Sending maintainace for your own flesh and blood is not a rip off its what decent men do when there marriage /relationship breaks down .

Stop thinking you were ripped off ...you married and the marriage broke down stop feeling sorry for yourself you have a life ahead of you as she does as well .

This woman has gone into a relationship with you it has not worked out she has a life as well , from your post she is as misreble as sin and has been for a long time .

Take the bull by the horns talk to her and work out whats best for you / her and your baby .

Your marriage is over you dont need anyone to tell you that now its time to work things out with your wife for your babys well being/ future and move on and rebuild your life its as simple as that .
