Eww!    I'm never dating a Thai guy again..

Also never eat the peanuts in a bar - think about it guy goes for a slash no hand wash comes back and fingers the peanuts - leaves- peanuts go back in the jar - served to the next customer - in you go have a few peanuts.

Eww! I'm never eating peanuts again...

Think of this next time that you have a rice meal.

Where does the farmer go for a pee or a crap when he's in the middle of his field?

Ewww!!

Well done again guys.

Just out of curiosity, as George's post just now was the 50th (visible) post on the subject, just how many did you delete?

Somewhere up above the 40 mark JD, tv members are not all that gullible after all

Actually, the word 'gullible' doesn't even exist in dictionaries. But still, there's been alot of members who have been 'gulled' today.

Nice one TV!

I e-mailed the Thai Embassy in London last year about getting one at my local consulate-a jewellers shop in Liverpool.The reply was no problem.

Years ago I didn't know about the consulate in Liverpool and had to go down to London on two consequetive days for a visa.

The consulate in Liverpool was in Boodles & Dunthorpe Jewelers (?) and consisted of a little box with application forms on it. Fill in the forms along with a self-addressed envelope and then pop it in the box. All Hi-tech stuff what???

Try a few of these places for starters.

Nakhon Phanom. Ho Chi Minh's House.

Sisaket. Wat Lan Khuat (Temple of a Million Bottles)

http://www.chimburi.com/thai89.htm

Sa Kaew. Lalu ground subsidence.

http://www.sakaeo.go.th/SakaeoEnglish/TaPhraya.htm

Ubon.

The most eastern point of Thailand or the 'Emerald Triangle' before it becomes a golf course/casino.

The morale of the story being "Don't piss on yout fingers"

Actually I'm not too sure just how unhygenic urine is. Urine isn't waste extractraction similar to excreta. Urine is only fluids that your body can't absorb or use at that particular time. Don't forget that some people actually drink their own urine so in effect, they're recycling what they've already drank.

Anyone fancy a night on the p1ss?

Thais always go on about how we dirty farangs only shower 2X a day.... However, when I am out it seems that the vast majority of thai men pee or crap then walk straight out of the toilet without washing their hands. 

This behaviour seems to happen at all locations equally, be it at the office, upscale or cheap charlie bars/restaurants/hotels. I am not saying that we farang guys always wash our hands after pointing percy, but the majority of my mates would do after having a sh*t I think, even if out on the p*ss. Wonder what the spotlessly clean Thai ladies would think about this? 

Funny too, I've seen Thai guys wash their hands and then do their business!

Maybe it is a cultural thing, or are they just too lazy?

FYI, these observations come after 6 years working in LOS and I don't loiter in public toilets!

Check the stats on other races ( westerners don't come out well )

Without checking the stats I would say that Thais seem to be more hygenic than farangs.

How many Thais do you see chewing on their finger nails?

How many would spit on their fingers to dampen down a wayward tress of hair?

How many Thai mother's do you see chastising their young'ens for having dirty knees then yokking on a tissue to wipe off the dirt?

How many Thais do you see pulling out a bogey and then placing it in their mouth?

Farangs are far from perfect.

Probably it's only a 'secret' as in "Let's not tell the poor farmers they're sitting on a fortune. We can't be paying out billions to too many Jed Clampetts now can we?"

Take a look at the prosperity of the villagers who live amid the Queen Sirikit oilfields in Phitsanulok. You won't see any buffalo with gold-plated horns up there.

Also it's funny how Paedophile topics continue with all the advice on how not to get caught kiddy-fiddling. But when a thread is started complaining about it, it gets closed with a 'we're keeping our eyes on the Peado treads'.

I too was surprised about the customer service thread closing. Why not just delete any offending posts?

Try the We-train. Very nearby the airport and have all kinds of rooms. They've got a website too.

Asia Airport Hotel about 5 kms north of Don Muang is around 2k per night.

Always like to use a fan rather than any air conditioning.I came to this lovely country for the hot weather.

Same as me. Using aircon just makes it feel hotter when I go outside anywhere.

Sometimes I pity the children of my friends who seem to live in a constant aircon environment. They leave their aircon house to go to and from their aircon school in an aircon car/bus then back to their aircon home.

Smoked Falling Rain for 14+ years until I discovered Wonder. 10b cheaper so I get to save money to buy......ermmm.....more ciggies.

All that you've listed are convenient including walking. It all depends on where you are at the time and where you want to get to and how quickly you need to get there.

I've been to China!

Good to be back (although i'm still in China)

I'm still wondering about that "solid stool" line...

Ever sat on those red or blue wobbily plastics ones at a roadside foodstall?

What I find strange is that there's already a road from the border crossing point at Bong Thi that goes to the Burmese seaport of Tavoy. Baan Phu Nam Ron is very close to Bong Thi.

I would've thought that Bong Thi would be the best place to open the border for intl. crossing as it's already established as a local crossing point

If it's in a crowded pub in the city, I don't do it.

If it's out in the countryside walking - I do it & say hello.

So - if I was walking up the Erawan waterfall I'd say hi to everyone on the way down.  Getting in a lift I do it. If I Walked in to O'Reilly's & I woudn't do it. Walking around Silom I don't do it & for sure in Pattaya I don't 'cause I'd be smiling at every fcuker !

So I guess the more 'personal' a situation is - the more I do it. 

Pedro sums it up for me. The more remote the location is, the more I try and initiate a smile. Forget about Bangkok, Pattaya and the like, otherwise I'd feel like a village idiot walking around smiling at everyone.

Although 15 years ago living in NKP, whenever I saw another farang I used to feel as though 'my little peice of Issan' had been trespassed on (as mgnewman says).

Now, I've grown out of that phase. Plus, it's not such a rarity nowadays to see farangs in out-of-the-way places anymore.

A big to all those I've ignored in the past.

Raining in Pattaya now at 1pm on Friday 25th of March

Started at 3 here.

Took 2 hours to get to Chonburi.

Started raining in Don Muang about 3.30pm. From Chonburi it probably took a right at Central Bangna and up Srinakarin Rd and on through to Bangkapi.

Anyway, from the looks of his photo, his "expiration date" will probably come sooner than the one on his visa.

Mr Grim Reaper Sir, is this 'inside information'?

BTW, when it's my turn on your list, don't recall me back to my maker while I'm sitting on the loo, Pleeeaaasse!

First pack I bought had the yellow crooked tombstone teeth picture on it.

It only reminds me to clean my teeth.

Apes my arse. ALIENS! They practically own South America.

Funny facts 2

7. A 2 X 4 piece of wood is really 1-1/2" by 3-1/2" when measured.

Only if it's been planed. If it's rough it'll be 2 x 4.

In others words...nothing much really happened?

Who gives a doodly as to what or where the expression came from?

I only wanna know if the weather is cold enough to freeze MY balls off. Never mind brass mokeys.

I don't know what the criteria Lox uses in its Spam program, but I have no complaints. I used to get hundreds of Spam per day (mostly from my website addy), but now maybe 1 slips through per week. I checked daily for mistakes for the first couple of weeks, but never saw a mistake, so now I leave it alone.

Very much the same as Ajarn. Except that I do a quick check of the spam listings.

I only receive about about 10 personal emails per week anyway, but none so far has wrongly been mistaken for spam.

Joey B is right regards UK law. At least how I remember it. You can drive without a license actually in possession but, if you get pulled you may have to show the license in a given amount of days.

TRAFFIC POLICE / MOVE AGAINST FAKE CHECKPOINTS

The offences include driving a vehicle with a red plate at night, stopping past the solid line, stopping in restricted zones, failure to keep left while driving slowly, and taxi drivers being improperly dressed.

It would be nice of them to inform the public at what speed they consider 'slow'.

Slow to some is fast. Fast to others can be considered slow.
