the best Thai credit card is from HSBC Hong Kong ...

<while African tourists rose even more by 4-5 per cent>

isn't that a lovely development, guys from the 4th world with enough money to travel the globe. I think most of them go straight to Suk 2-11 to pursue their business.

For sure the murdered babe ...

apparently, that was not premeditated murder on the toddler but the little one (and the mother) obviously were in the path of stray bullets

A Thai-Chinese who want to save some money on the fuel for his Benz? could afford the car but not the gasoline?

the car was presented by some dark, hidden powers - the gas he has to pay for himself

DEFINITELY suicide - the BIB did not even find traces of a 3rd party's involvement

I feel sorry for the foreigner using Thai Nominee Shareholding ..., but they know it was illegal in the beginning

why should one feel sorry for somebody losing everything to his own farang greed?

Wheel clamping will not effective as a tow away solution where by the motorist will be hit

harder costlier paying for the tow and storage charges, that might send the right message...

and - on top of that - pick up his car in a car park in the middle of nowhere!

Say goodbye to your sun chair, umbrella and cold drink

not necessarily - buy yourself a sun deck w/table affixed and an umbrella plus an esky (with ice and grog), put it on your pickup ... enjoy the beach!

Wouldn't be wholly surprised if they found a buried body hidden down there as well.

 

yeah - could just as well be the faithful, forgotten guard to all these treasures
 

pardon my apparently poor math skills but,

 

14,000,000

 -1,400,000

----------------

12,600,000

as a Thai I would retort "the typical Western approach of abusing mere figures and tie them to a mean, complicated formula; only to make us look feel bad"

go to the nearest bigger city in the morning, find yourself a hotel with a pool, book half day rate, get yourself a newspaper and magazines: ENJOY...

As long as there is cheap sex, tourist's from all over the world will continue to flock here

may have been a valid point 5-8 years ago; with all the comfortable flat rates in many European countries these guys have no need to buy an air ticket anymore; the Russians take whatever they like (same as the do with the buffet breakfast...) and the Indians like to chum up together with a few blokes on a bus and literally get a free student ride there: All of them plus the one student (this is not meant to be mean, this is Indian culture, mind you)

Ummm... yes, they are, but no for me. I have Parkinsons and the meds are unavailable there mostly and the few that are cost more than my pension. Not to mention I HAATE living there.

Any constructive ideas for staying?

did you and mrs. ever try your home country? do you have a reliable, affordable health service there?

You can't walk 1km without seen an erotic massage In Bangkok, if kids are growing up and seen this as normal then it's a waste of time

these places do not endanger morale and ethical understanding of the (Thai) population: To them, it has always been a service industry none else than a car wash, a barber's or a clinic for that...it is a matter only what the Westerner's eyes make out of it (their European countries and the Americas overboarding already with publicly offered services far beyond a naughty massage)

I see, what is the advantage of a triple entry from the uk over a double entry from Laos? I will only need 5 months.

why - as a tourist - you "need" anything beyond 30 days? Plan to visit each and every of the 87099 temples here or illegally working in one of the schools or fast food restaurants or else?

Thailand ... Leave them alone.

this is exactly what tourists are increasingly exercising - your wish is being heard loudly

with the official organs now scrutinizing all sorts of encroached land in parks, forests, islands and consequently tearing down structures already where the tennants / "owners" refraining from moving...did they also look into the ecological desaster & crime #1 in this country which is "Sea shore shrimp farming"? I did not read anything sofar about them picking on the pesticide, antibiotics shrimp farms. Since poisoned water holes are left behind and the gang keeps moving on after they successfully destroyed areas of healthy mangroves the shrimp companies must be operating on encroached beach-side land, just can't be all theirs

Well fashion went out the window with that shirt!...And Matusov is wearing the same shirt in the picture on the board behind him. Which makes me wonder how long he has been wearing it? And underwear....!

Ever hear about the deadly, freezing cold winters in Russia - they last 5-6 months!

I wonder how many of these illegals are English teachers ?

do you think the English instructors come from Cambodia exclusively these days? would give an explanation as to the fancy accent of many Thai students...

Can anyone give me the pahk neua dialect term for "Corner" please?

corner means มุม in standard Thai - and this our friends should understand throughout the nation

any electrical product in Thailand is prone to fail unexpectedly early - it is a matter of the plastic housing, often about moving plastic things (anything with physical functions of turning wheels, open/close things, switches), plugs etc.

Reason is the local or Chinese production process: the plasticizer chemicals in all these plastics are of lowest quality and constantly evaporate at a given speed until gone - and then the plastic CRACKS! high- quality European or Japanese plastics have expensive plasticizers incorporated which show a long- time functionality

would you please open a similarly promising threat, this time on GASOHOL - thanks

Some really great looking random Asian women from places like: Pakistan, Iraq, New Guinea, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen or Oman

yes, until the age of 18, sometimes 19 ... after that (having just had their 3rd baby) they all inadvertently end up with the pancake face, pot belly, horse's rump effects - fortunately, you will never recognize these changes about your wife in just a few countries you mentioned (Pakistan, Iraq, Saudi, Yemen etc. ...)

<I live in bangkok for 4 years and from what I see it seem to me that forigners guys who lives in thailand like to date thai woman more then woman from their own country or forigner as a same.
For dating for one night stand or marry.. So I guess because they live here because they like it here also asia women too.. Hardly to meet forignerswho dating foringer in another country... Maybe have some but most of forigners in thailand young- old like to go out with thai women more than us..>

foreigners love to date Thai girls for their good humour, professionalism, extremely good looks, perfect bmi, boobs which are not scarily big and busty, and - last but not least - for their fluent, flawless use of the English lingo (pls refer to your above intro...)
