I only go because I get an attractive " benefit " in another way for doing so although I'm not going to mention what is because I would

give the game away

you hook up with the girls who take your details as well some lookers i'll give you that

Some of the 'girls' are boys. Is that your secret 'benefit'?

What kind of idiot carries 300,000 Baht in cash? DOH! A fool and his money are soon parted.

Plenty, it would seem, including many on here who think it's far better to bring in cash and maybe save 0.01% than do a simple bank transfer. The pair were either very lucky or had a little help from Mr Swede, or another close to either party.

Maybe an insurance scam, all you need is the police report back home to file a claim.

interesting argument

go copies of articles enhance the value of the genuine or not?

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery etc...free advertising free promotion and of course affordable elevation in stature for those that are sporting the genuine article.

Yes, basically obtaining something one did not labor or cannot pay for.

This attitude seems endemic in societies these days with what is basically

a redistribution of wealth - sometimes by force (government - but not limited to it).

The high-production-quality films have extremely high production costs as with other products which

have high R&D costs. The the investors cannot get a return on these investments

then what?

Then what? Stop paying hack actors 10 million $$ per movie!

There is nothing wrong with counterfeit goods. It's good competition for the real goods, helping force the legitimate goods' prices lower.

I used to buy fake stuff all the time. Then i realized that i was just wasting my money, as everything that was a "copy" either didn't work or broke within a few weeks.

I've never had a problem and I buy a copy when possible. DVDs, Windows...

Exactly! Police should go after real crooks, the violent kind.

Guess they will have to rename it "Not the Pizza Company"

haha..

but there pizza'a are a disgrace, taste horrible !! and for the price they charge you can go to an Italian restaurant and get a ' real ' pizza .............

It is a question of taste. Some like, some don't.....

Not really mate. Their pizzas are absolute garbage.

No, for me Pizza Co is the best in Thailand, based on 9 years of taste testing. In the US they have the same combinations of toppings and crusts. If someone doesn't like it, they can go elsewhere.

But we have crossing lights for pedestrians! 555555

Come on guys that is 30,000 tablets and 4 kikos of heroin that are not on the streets anymore and unless you are a user you should be happy and congratulate the achievement no matter how it came about. Happy Christmas

And the police will turn around and sell it - on the streets

How do Thais act at these type shows? Do they dance in the aisles and stand on seats like in the US? Any herb in the air?

I see that Lao Air now flies to Luang Prabang and Vientiane. What is the taxi mafia charging to get to U-tapao? Do the local 'baht' buses go there?

Thank you all for the useful info. I'll try one in Pattaya first.

My knee locks up sometimes, then 'pops' when straightened. I have some 'grinding' in there too, but no real pain. I am wearing an elastic bandage but need a consult. Thanks.

I tried using my SIM modem, and now a wireless connection at an internet shop. I could not update, it said my internet connection was not found. I uninstalled and tried to download again at the shop, same error. I tried to go to www.avg.com, and several other websites related such as .AU, says server not found. Is Thailand blocking this for some reason? It is still available on CNET for the rest of the world to download. THanks,.

I sold my Pattaya condo on Thai Visa! I also put free ads on boards at local stores. Depends if you want to make the effort or pay.

I'm buying a condo on the top floor. The roof will be waterproofed (even tho not leaking) with a white resin material. Inside, is it better to leave the ceiling as high as it is, or put a new lower ceiling? Which is better for reducing heat in the room? Thanks.

It exists. It's one of those cheap meat BBQ places, not Chinese food.

Oh blimey. Thanks. What is it with the names that mean nothing? I suppose that Isaan place I saw in the ad serves Bulgarian food.

Try Canton House in Central Festival at the beach. THey have good dim sum for 15 baht each, and a menu, maybe sechuan.

I went on a Sunday and had 3 plates of "Sunday roast" not the best food but for 99 baht... no complaints from me.

I second that. Roast beef was tender and lean, sides very nice. Only went once as I tend to eat too much.

Will the Reds or Yellows get that plane load of weapons from N. Korea? Maybe they will blow themselves up.

Well it happens every three months so it adds up, better I have it than Bangkok bank crooks, right?

Here is a link to the article giving instructions:

I got about 2500 baht interest and they took 15% back. The lady told me it is income tax. Do all banks do this? I don't work so can I get this tax back somehow? Thanks.

Here's a photo

Dogs are small and clean and friendly. If you can take 1 or 2 let me know. I will try to get a photo on here. No, they're not mine.

Before I went home, Dan and Erica were married, then Erica disappeared. When I came back, Dan was gone too. I looked at the episode guide but I don't see an answer. WHat happened to Erica? Dan? I think the Dan actor actually died in real life. Thanks.

Check on line....google is your friend There are loads of outlets in Thailand selling them, if you can get to BKK Seacon square has a good few on the top floor.

A guy has a counter in Tops on Second Rd, might be pellet, might be paintball.

He must have a quirky, eccentric brother cause I was out riding and on my left, waiting at the junction traffic lights was a farang with a great parrot on his shoulder!

I sh*t you not!

I couldn't stop or look for a double take (traffic was right behind me) but it was either a stuffed fake, or the real deal!

Amazing Pattaya

That must be Don from Hawaii, he lives at Nirun Condo, the bird is real.
