They shouldn't be jumping on your back. Just slide the foot along a bit and put weight on it. I had it done many, many times, and no problems. Like I said if worried just let them do it with one foot only.

Any of them will do it ( it's not rocket science ) but if you can't find a small one make them only use one foot unless they have a rail to hang off.

Best advise I have is taking a friendly Thai to deal with the desk staff. My wife made any potential problems go away.

They used to have school ( I think English ) classes on the top floor of Pantip. Did they leave? I always shopped at Big C there and there was a DVD shop that sold hard to get DVDs, plus a friendly computer guy that made DVDs of difficult to find movies for 100 baht. I didn't like Chiang Mai for the pathetic night life, but Pantip was better than the one in Pattaya for computers and DVDs.

I reckon they built Promenada to take advantage of the new residential buildings in that area, but the expected numbers never eventuated. Bit risky to built a high end mall without the numbers of high end residents to support it. The main problem IMO was the lack of public transport from the city center and the red baht buses ripping off every passenger they carried. I liked the mall precisely because hardly anyone went there, but they used to run a free shuttle from the city, and when that stopped I didn't go anymore. Central Airport had regular baht bus services from Lamphun for 25 baht.

Right. If someone thinks a town chocka with cheap tour Chinese and baht pinching Indians is a success story I wish him well with his illusions.

Before Thaksin I used to Gogo till after dawn in Bkk and Pattaya ( which never closed- always a bar open somewhere ). Purachai ( may he burn in hell ) was the one that made everything close early.

Given any "parties" in Riyadh were on compounds off limits to the mutawah not surprising. The best parties were given by royals in the desert. I never got an invite because only western females were asked.

No idea if still open. I went there in the mid 90s. My friends were all western females so didn't think it a good idea to Gogo. Got in a cab and asked driver to take us to a nightclub.

IMO everyone should visit a Thai nightclub at least once. I took some friends from home to NASA in Bkk ( space themed nightclub ) and it was quite an education.

They always test all the patrons and staff. Nothing new here. I never smoked the funny stuff at home in case I was in a gogo that was raided while in LOS- the test can pick up such long after using it.

TAT could have a new slogan- "come to Thailand and get a free drug test at any night club".

When my lover told me she loved me I thought it was God speaking to me through the most perfect woman on the planet. However God wasn't, and she wasn't. We all believe what we want to, regardless of why. That's what makes us human and not biological robots.

I used to travel the world and was always looking for the next better place. Now I look at sunsets from my door. Adapt to circumstances or buy a charcoal kabuki I say.

I thought it was bogan. Isn't Bogon a species on Star Trek or something?

and if they enjoy doing so, why not? Beats watching day time tv a million %. BTW, just sitting in a bar in LOS doesn't mean one has to get drunk. Can talk to mates met in a bar, eat meals, watch sports on tv, listen to some band failing to sing in English, play games with bar girls, read the newspaper, watch the passing parade on the street, and if very, very lucky, meet the best female you'll ever know in your entire life. What's not to like?

The base on that ice cream cup looks a bit small. Must have to be careful it doesn't fall over into your lap.

I could eat the same big breakfast every day, because I like them. Yum. However, I do like to vary supper between a few regular options.

I liked doing sex over and over. Never got bored of it.

I was giving this topic some consideration and came to the conclusion that I fall in love with women all the time, but not real ones. Much safer, can't get an STD or unwanted baby, and don't need presents, dinners or wedding rings. Seems the internet does have something I like, after all.

IMO has to be the scam of the centuries.

Good Golly, seems like many Kiwis have decided that Oz is the better country to live in, and are emigrating there. IMO he's already in the right country. If I were still of working age I'd have been over there years ago. Anyone wanting to move to NZ better have a truckload of cash if they think they are going to buy a house.

and what shop can I find one of those at? Just trying what was walking around didn't work out too well for me before.

Sorry to burst that bubble, but unless you know different farms than I do, farming these days isn't exhausting. Almost everything is mechanised, and farmers ride m'bikes not horses. We used to move hay bales by hand, but now it's all big bales that take a tractor to move, and fed out by a machine. Even milking cows is pretty much mechanised. About the only thing requiring regular exertion now is moving electric fences, and docking lambs. Real exertion for such as fencing is done by contractors and a lot of their work is done by machine anyway. I loved working on a farm, but there isn't much money in being a farm hand, and the boss has so much paper work that it's stressfull. However, you would be right about working on a building site, providing they'll take unskilled workers on. Perhaps a reasonable option is fruit picking. Physical work in the open air. That's something they haven't mechanised yet, though that's being worked on already.

LOL. Unless one wants to commit sideways, it'd be a bit difficult to know when one is actually going to pass over the great divide. Back in the early years of the century, unsecured credit was incredibly easy to get in the UK. I had an occasional urge to borrow as much as possible, move to Thailand and never return, but 2007 saw an end to all that.
