Putting aside the weather, cost of living, illegal immigrants etc etc etc
My own view is that, unlike MOST other countries, Britain has managed to make it almost a capital offence to be patriotic!
Think about this. In the US, Switzerland, France etc, and of course Thailand, virtually every national of that country is PROUD to be a citizen of that country. You stand for the national anthem. You fly your national flag from your house, car etc. You are proud to say 'I am an American, I am a Thai' etc.
So what about Britain? If you try to fly the national flag, then people either think you are a fascist or a drunken football yob. If you stand for the national anthem (if it ever gets played), then everyone thinks you are mad. And I'm sorry, but how on earth can you have any respect for that useless bunch of plonkers called the British Royal Family??
I would love to have a sense of national pride in my home country, but for as long as I can remember, successive govenrments have introduced more and more rules to make it ###### hard to feel any sense of loyalty or patriotism...
Just my 2 penies worth . . .
Absolutely right!
Can't say more......
Accept that, if you come from Wales you'll say "I am Welsh.
If you come from Scotland you'll say "I am a Scot".
If you come from Ireland you'll say "I am Irish".
BUT, those who come from England (mostly) say " I am BRITISH?"
How in fact, can anyone be British?
You can claim to come from Britain, of course
But, you would have to be part Irish, Welsh, Scottish & English surely, to be British!.
Because Great ( which only means big ) Britain is the sum total, of all of these.......is it not?

Don't know where they are from, or where they mostly are (probably BKK),
but I read somewhere that the figure is about 500,000.

We are not interested and you are warned not to repost.
I do not know what he posted.
But speaking about low voice.
Do you change the way you speak, the tone of your voice with somebody from the opposite sex?
Or do you always speak the same?
As far as I'm concerned I'm "softening" my voice when talking to girls.
Especially in Thailand where the girls have a tendency to use a "soft" voice.
Maybe it is just automatic.
You adapt the level and tone of your voice to the level of voice of the people you are talking to,...
No Bluey it was nothing to do with what you think...
Merely a list of Expressions used by Low Lifes pertaining to sexual activity.
Quite harmless and mildly amusing.
Stupid decision to zap it!

Spend 2500bht on a bike, and ride it for an hour three times a week.
It's great and you will be healthier, and live longer......

Although this has been answered many many times I will do so again.
Buy Travellers Cheques from Tesco free of charge.
and/or
Open a Nationwide Flexaccount. Put some money in it and get a Debit Card so you can draw from ATMs in Los free of charge.
Have a nice time........

Didn't they do a scientific test to see if kids who played in the dirt, developed antibodies more potent than those who were prevented from getting their hands dirty.
As I recall, the Dirty kids proved to be a lot less likely to get sick!
I take Beta Glucan to boost my immune system......seems to work.
But frankly, how do you know if something like that works?
You can't tell if you would have got sick, if you hadn't taken it.......Oh well.
"Prevention is better than cure", they say.

hopefully have a chance to have a beer with some of the patty board residents when i'm over
Stay at The MUNCH SHACK.
Its on second Road near Walking street.
Look for the big yellow fascia.
Newly done rooms at about 650bht a day and great food.
Run by a nice English guy called Dave Greet.
He has a web site I hear.....www.themunchshack.com perhaps.
If not try Google....
Give Pattaya my love.......lucky sod.

all this sex town crap pisses me off,
bkkbound04 pattaya can provide everything you are looking for from lovely scenery to fitness, CLEAN nitelife and great food and accomodation, as for pollution, not in pattaya.
i'm married and live in pattaya and i love it, i actually feel safer going out in pattaya than i would where i come from.
Don't listen to the negative one's, judge for yourself.
ALL tourist destinations in thailand of the same services IF you want it.
ps, Patong is also sleaze city, although the scenery there is beautiful.
Here Bloody HERE!
Just bought a house on the outskirts.
Uk selling-up.
Can't wait to return.
Only the polution from Diesel engines bothers me........

Sure, you can take Viagra and BP Tablets.

Anybody seen Alcar (Alpha Lipoic Acid/Acetyl L- Carnitine) for sale?
Also Androstenedione or Androstenediol ?
Grateful to hear if you have .

I find Thai Airline too expensive.
EVA is cheaper and Etihad more so......
Never go direct to the Airline of course. Agents are best.

As an ex-Documentary Director, I thought it looked a bit scrappy visually.
( Loved the question "Would you like to go home?" asked of a guy in solitary!)
Otherwise, although a bit amateurish, it was an honest piece, I thought, and it ought to deter some 'fools' from trying to drug deal, in LOS......ok, ok, I did say it ought to.
Glad to see how meticulous they were, in ascertaining that they had just executed the right person. Laudable that eh?
As for the inhuman conditions, well it is a Thai Prison after all.
Many Thais live in inhuman conditions, OUTSIDE Prison, do they not
Made me feel quite uneasy, about the fairness of the sentencing though..........
But then, who ever expected the Law, in LOS, to be FAIR?

Sadly, it has got to be package three Cobra......

It might be because every girl on this dating website was really a hooker who was going to present me with a huge bull after our night of lust.
This has got to be the BEST TYPO EVER!
You must be very horney!

Hey! I thought I was the only one who avoided eye contact with other Farangs.....
(Don't like the look of most of them in Pattaya)
Thanks guys, this post has made me feel a whole lot better.

Can't say my Dad ever poured forth words of wisdom, accept once when he said
"Boy. Remember this - Men want Sex and Women want Money".
Sorry to hear your story fella.
Don't blame Thai Girls though. They are not the only Gold Diggers on the Planet!

Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies, and they wrote in Hydraulics!
The Hebrews made unleavend bread, which is made without any ingredients!
Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred Porcupines!
Socrates died of an overdose of Wedlock, and after his death his career declined!
Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefield of Gaul!
William Shakespeare was born in 1564, supposedly on his birthday!
The ninteenth century was a time when people stopped reproducing by hand, and started reproducing by machine!
Bach had a great many children, and composed a lot of tunes. In between he practised on an old Spinster he kept in the attic........

No such thing as 'a freebie'.
You always pay one way or another.....Teacher or not!

Done many hard and complicated jobs in my life, and must say, that Teaching English Conversation to Thais, is comparatively easy!
But then, I talk 'proper'........THAT is most important , innit?

75mg Asprin is ok, taken with food.
You only need it if you have already had a minor stroke.
It may (did me) give you Tinnitus.
I now take 75mg Clopidogrel (Plavix) daily as an alternative to Asprin.
Please note: If you are on ANY Blood Thinning Medication, you MUST stop taking it at least a week before Surgery of any kind!
I didn't some years ago and nearly bled to death.......
