There used to be an indian restaraunt next door to oasis,and there is also one oposite,i'm sure the food comes from the one next door.

PST.

I have been told it is used in the context of 'I dont really want to ask you,but.....',i myself have used it in this context and it was very well recieved.I have only lived here 5 years,so i'm sure there are plenty of people on TV who may be able to explain it better.

Khan Baba located in Kata on the newish road that connects patak road to the bottom road,coming from chalong,take a left opposite the indoor market,the restaraunt is located 3/4 of the way down on the right hand side,almost next to Solution bar,and opposite the dome resort.

One of the best Indians i've had on the island.

Just returned from visa run (3 month turnaround),but was only given 88 days,not 90?

Any suggestions why?

PST.

This post is just a blatant attempt to drum up support for stickman (SM) site because Thai Visa is kicking that site arse now.

The moderators should have shut this post down as soon as it was posted.

TV has grown in the biggest forum in Thailand and someone wants a piece of TV success for free. Bullocks I say.

That being said, there is allot of excellent info here on TV and some gents that are really knowledgeable in their areas.

The leads to people building their own houses in Isaan is great (Need an english TV show for that "Billy Bob builds in Isaan" what a crack that would but in all seriousness we all learn alot from each others mistakes.

There are some real visa experts here as well as many other subjects.

If you want to stay in Thailand, keep up of trouble and stay up on everything current so you won't get ripped off, TV is the only place to be.

It's a dam_n shame we could not harness all the experience, education and members here to get a voice into the current govt. to ease up regulations for retiree's, married and legitimate business owners.

A joke surely?,TV and Stickman to me are totally different sites,each with their own merits.

PST.

Is it not true that the amount of time spent on Thaivisa is surely one measure of boredom.

With 3,840 posts-Yes.

PST.

Then Stickman's point is proven, nes pas.

But it's not tho is it?

or who havent discovered the truth yet,or dont want to discover the truth

ahhh.... the age old excuse for the bigoted, ignorant or just plain stupid....

OR,the people that understand.

PST.

Hahaha, you mean the people who trick themselves into thinking they "understand" better than everyone else, to help explain to themselves why they are so miserable and bitter when other people can live a happy life without moaning at all and everything?

Er,no,i mean the people that understand,can't be that difficult to understand can it?,obviously it can.

I understand,and i'm not miserable or bitter,i live a happy life and don't moan,why?,because i understand.

Fail.

^Absolute rubbish,

Stickman articles and reader submissions give an extremely warped perspective of life in Thailand. A perspective of someone who's life revolves entirely around the bar scene and the type of people who work in them.

Anyone who thinks otherwise IS that someone or is too new here to know otherwise, anyone who doesn't live that sort of life knows this all too well.

They only give a warped perspective to people who dont understand,or who havent discovered the truth yet,or dont want to discover the truth.So anyone who thinks otherwise IS that person who dosent understand Thailand.

Also,only a small percentage of stickmans articles revolve round the bar scene,there are hundreds that don't.Try reading some of them.

PST.

Anyone reading Stickman must be bored

…or very new and inexperienced.

Disagree,alot of the reader submissions on stickmans site are from people who have been living hear for many years,thats why they write them,so people can read and learn about their experiences.

So 'new and inexperienced' is a massive fail.

PST.

A wise guy who dosent get taken for a mug by Thai prostitutes,and is willing to share this information with other individuals who wont be taken for a ride by Thai prostitutes.

Hats off to stickman for covering all Thai related subjects (not just bar subjects) so well.

No wonder his readership is increasing weekly.

PST.

I find it amazing that people are taken for a mug unless they read some trash by Stickman.I also find it amazing that only thai prostitute take farang for ride lol.

I've never been taken for a mug by anybody,before or after reading stickman.

But thanks for your input.

Stickmans weekly column for me is a must read,very informative,also the readers submissions are also a great way of learning about Thailand.Below is a recent 'Green star' submission,a great read,and oh so very true.

Enjoy.

"but they all seem to be old fashioned"

Yes I know exactly what you mean. All the fans in HomePro, HomeWorks etc. look like something Somerset Maugham sat under in 1915 in Singapore as he wrote "Of Human Bondage". (Please don't take this literally – he probably didn't write it in Singapore.)

I wanted modern looking ceiling fans for my house and I got so frustrated I even considered importing from Japan. I eventually found and ordered fans from a Thai company called Regene. They manufacture three models that would qualify as modern looking.

I immediately ruled out the one blade "DESIGNER" model because of its ridiculously high price.

The "i-FAN" looks quite good but is mechanically suspect - (I unfortunately bought some of this model.)

The "i-CON" model ticks all the boxes. It looks very hi-tech and is mechanically sound – quiet and vibration-free. Highly recommended.

A year ago House and Home had some Regene models on display, maybe still.

Based on my experience, if you buy them from Artisan in Sam Kong, you will get a better discount than anywhere else. Talk to the female boss, Boy.

If you like, PM me and you can come and see them in my house.

Thanks,do you have a link to pictures atall?

PST.

I am looking for a ceiling fan stockist in Phuket,have tried Homepro,Lotus etc etc,but they all seem to be old fashioned,i was wondering if any members knew of any other places to try that may stock a different variety.

Thanks in advance.

Most Pharmacys sell it,usually amongst the vitamin/ginseng section.Not sure of the type of brand.

No further questions.

Cheers guys.

Learn to understand how thai women think,......

PST.

Would you care to elaborate on this statement?

I don't want to second guess what your intent is with this comment but are you suggesting that somehow Thai women are different in their emotional reaction to their husband/boyfriend 'cheating' on them?

Are you suggesting that a Thai women does not feel the same sense of betrayal, the hurt, humiliation & loss of self esteem when her partner 'cheats' as women from other countries do?

How does a Thai women think when she discovers her husband is cheating on her?

Yep,thai women are different in their emotional reaction to their husband/boyfriend cheating,alot of them expect it to happen,when it does alot of them aren't surprised.Total opposite to western women.

Regarding sense of betrayal,they will feel betrayed (if they find out).

IF she discovers,she will more than likely either flip out,or say nothing,no middle ground.

I think to understand how thai women think and feel,the first thing you need to do is grasp the language and culture,these two things alone will give you a huge advantage as to how thai women think.

PST.

"Regarding sense of betrayal,they will feel betrayed (if they find out)" as well as suffer the hurt, humiliation & loss of self-esteem, just like any other women on the planet. Your presumption that they "expect it to happen" & "alot of them aren't surprised" is irrelevant & does not mitigate the subsequent emotional trauma that is common to women the world over.

You seem to be suggesting that Thai women are somehow different to the rest of the world & that their emotional well being is of less concern.

"IF she discovers,she will more than likely either flip out,or say nothing,no middle ground." - just because a women "flips out" or says nothing does not mean that there is no emotional pain associated with an act of betrayal, the same pain that is experienced by women from any other country.

"I think to understand how thai women think and feel,the first thing you need to do is grasp the language and culture,these two things alone will give you a huge advantage as to how thai women think." - Thai women are human beings that have the same emotions as any other human being,nothing to do with language or culture. Love is a primal emotion & when betrayed human beings will react in very similar ways irregardless of race or culture. They will suffer hurt, humiliation & loss of self esteem all to varying degrees that is not dependent on language & culture, but on personality & individual differences.

Unless you are a sociopath every adult should be instinctively aware of the consequences of betrayal.

Laughable response,get on with your life and accept that your never gonna be right,delving too deep into your own way of thinking and outlook on life,whilst desperatly clinging onto any possible understanding,to compensate for your total lack of awareness across many thai related subjects.

Your kidding yourself,its wether you choose to belive yourself,or someone else??????

PST.

Apologies for the quote situation.

I had exactly the same thing happen at Tesco. In the end I left the TV on the service counter..and presumably they dumped it.

Nah. the girl probably took it to the TV repair shop, paid 300 Baht for the repair and is still using it in her room.

Yeah,either that,or repaired it then sold it to a farang looking for a cheap TV for his room.
