Good a few less people in March! Anyways - I think its not the time to panic yet. Let's see how this pans out first - I honestly don't think it will unless the govt is looking to be toppled. I think a vast majorty of Thai's income comes from tourist dollars and they are playing with fire because this is their livelyhood. I for one will wait and see what happens - do see the coppers getting rich over this one if this proceeds as scheduled.

Dangerous gits- I pray for my life everytime I get in public transport in Pattaya. Luckily only been on a scooter when I've had a dozen pints. (wouldn't get on one sober)

Seen the video for Toxic by Spears? Pretty hot stuff- wonder if she is still promoting herself as a virgin?

Yak Die Yawn Neee = "I want you now"

Kit Ting Ka (Krap) = "I miss you"

few phrases off the top of me head!!!

I'm begining to think this is all just idle chatter by the thai govt. They'll reverse course in the end- since this is sort of thing that might cause a shakup. If not funny enough unless I'm mistaken hotels are not affected by the new social order campaign hence the all night bars that are open. (get away with 2AM closing times now by having rooms to rent) If this is the case I can forsee a load of rooms cropping up for rent in the non-entertainment zones.

I bought a few tailor made suits/silk shirts in Pattaya. Great quality (armani material) No doubt the material was nicked, but was exactly the same material in a armani shop. I took a few swatches in London prior to heading back to Thailand last Oct so I compared and exactly the same. Top suit for less than a $100quid. (Silk shirts thrown in for 0)

Warning though be careful and shop around- finding right material is the key.

Dunno does "crazy ferang" count? Seriously though don't mind the word at all- kind of use it myself, and think its part of the crack!

I really can't imagine Nan or even Cowboy being deserted at midnight. I'll most likely think I'm on another planet. Shame if it does because nightlife is what makes Thailand Thailand so to speak.

Heading to NanPlaza in April- so I guess I'll see first hand-literally right around the corner from my hotel. I'll be gutted if I find things dead quiet after midnight.

Guess time will tell- pretty silly thinking by the Thai Govt that imposing a earlier closing time will clean things up. All they are doing is losing dosh for businesses and tourism definitely will take a hit. I suppose we will wait/see what happens around the country when 1 Mar arrives.

Personally not too concerned since bars/pubs/discos never seem to close properly even at 1-2AM, but I suppose it all depends on how they crackdown.

Pretty thick if you can't figure out what the problem is when the supposed bird is missing all those parts. I read the post and knew right away LADY BOY!

Agreed its quite obvious that the lad is a pratt, doesn't sound truthful in the slightest.

Close at midnight? Well if they do- the bar owners will do as they always do- close and then reopen. Let's be realistic here, how many of you honestly even saw a 2AM closing enforced? I know I haven't- they rarely pay attention to it.

Too much dosh to be made- I think we shant worry about this too much!

Funny Stuff-mind you all politicians are the same. no better or worse than one another..pretty obvious Lil Bush will be re-elected unless Yank's economy goes south or something majorly bad happens between now/november. (can't see it happening honestly)

Bronco you left off.....

Cheers mate I'm only winding you up-I'll eat chicken, fish or whatever dead comes across my plate. No worries about the bird flu I was being a tad sarcastic. Mind you gekko is quite tasty even might pass as a faire substitute- we had a few bags of those after a nice session.

You laugh, but fish flu might not be far off. I read an article on a Chicken Farmer north of Bangkok. He used the chicken poop to feed fresh water fish he was raising to sell. LOL

Me thinks Fresh water fish is off the menu!!!

Ta for the reply. Yes she is a Thai Citizen, but since we are not married yet, there is some conflicting information I have received.

Here is the scenario I would like to play out....

Book a ticket for her and have her fly out to the UK to meet me. However I have heard that she needs to prove she has sufficient funds in her bank book prior to obtaining a visa. I can see the logic since they want to make sure a Thai citizen is not stranded abroad. Only other option I can think of is traveling with her in order to nip this in the bud, but not sure if this would do much good since as a fiance I don't really have any say as of yet.

Anyways if anyone out there has been through the process, please provide details.

Cheers again,

Ian

First off Cheers in Advance for assistance..I've found heaps of good information here in the past.

Well I've come to the point where I am ready to take my Thai fiance abroad-(back home to England) knowing past Thai Govt workings-I'm quite sure this is probably a headache. Anyways if someone here would be able to explain the process and how to go about doing this I would appreciate it.

Cheers again!
