  1. He's lucky 8-10 moto taxi drivers didn't jump in, they love to fight!
  2. 55555555! The clowns in power speak again! Talk is cheap!
  3. A couple of ice cold Leo's, better to start the day off right!
  4. Chinese, Chinese, Chinese! I'm sick of hearing this govt pandering to the Chinese! Just bow down and kiss their feet right now because that's the road you're headed down!
  5. Thailand's leaders for some reason--even though it comes up every few years concerning a certain country, still don't understand what "zero dollar tourism" means. TIT
  6. I wonder how she would feel if a Thai went to Israel and didn't adhere to Israeli customs/social behavior. She needs to remember she's a guest in Thailand, even after living here full time for 30+ years I still think that way.
  7. One of the reasons I don't have rental properties in Thailand. When I rented many years ago I actually left the house in better shape than when I left, still didn't get my damage deposit back. So it goes both ways, I won't--and don't need, to rent again, and I won't rent out any properties, simple really. I've seen too many owners in this same situation, all the profits they made over x number of months/years has to be put back into the property fixing up the damage. Another problem is, it's hard to get justice either way, whether you're the owner or the renter, most times the police won't do anything unless you're rich, powerful, or both in which case they will have their hand out waiting for that brown envelope to come their way. TIT
  8. It's one of those conundrums uniquely Thai! I had a friend with a bar and he decided to get a snooker table, several months later BIB showed up and asked for his license, he said he didn't have one so asked where he could get one, police said, "You can't." I guess now he pays for his license with a brown envelope he gives them......every month! TIT 55555
  9. I've always thought about this as thru the years I see them constantly putting in larger and larger pipes on different roads throughout the city. The problem is, if the water has nowhere to go after filling up the pipe this type of solution won't work. It just takes a little more time for the flooding to start as the pipes acts as a reservoir. Oh well, same same different day, TIT.
  10. Nice to finally hear some GOOD news for a change!
  11. Exactly how I feel. As you pointed out; the difference being a stranger I don't know saying it, or someone close to me using it. Obviously my family and close Thai friends don't use it concerning me.
  12. They're busy setting up the next "deal" or talking to their "mia nois" setting up some action for the evening......or both!
  13. I've seen several fights between Thais and farangs over here; it usually starts one on one with some kind of misunderstanding then progresses to someone becoming physical, then onto several Thais jumping in to help their colleague, and if you're close to a motorbike stand.....watch out(!) because guaranteed they'll get in on the action! Pack mentality at its finest!
