Is this do-able online?

Grounding? We don't need no dam_ grounding!!!

It's "stinking", we don't need no stinking grounding.

Yah, it's like "We don't need no stinkin' Malaprop Lesson. Leave the kids alone."

I would be happy they left ... and leave it at that.

I took a bath every time I withdrew from an ATM.Then i discovered CITI ATM in the Hong Kong Airport. Then I discovered AEON in Nakhon Si Thammarat.. No more baths for me..

I have found that one-upping is not sound strategy and inconsistent with good health maintenance. Better to move on to the more enjoyable pursuits. Long after you have forgotten your windmill jousts, your body continues to pay a toll.

My take-away: With a dash cam you don't have to compromise your values.

From down south here, I'd second Krabi and offer Georgetown Penang, but... yah, the last poster hit the jackpot with his inviting description of yuletide Vietnam. In that direction, I'd offer Mukdahan and Laos where BeerLao is arguably the best in Asia. Good luck and Enjoy! whatever you choose. ... Oh, yah, I hear Sihanoukville is nice with few complaints.

Blame is for the Idle.

no more to say really ,

But you just had to say something. Trying to run up your post numbers perhaps?

No, that would be me, thanks for the invite.

For a better, more relaxed trip, I vote the train also. You'll get a parade of food and drink that'll keep it interesting. Just don't eat the uncooked sausages. And people will engage you in conversation if you look even halfway welcoming. Good luck whatever you choose.

I agree with everyone who says to give the speach in Thai, they will laugh, especially if it is your translation. Other than that, visual slapstick jokes are well-digested, especially if they include violence, like slapping the misses or shooting someone - they seem to like that a lot. But getting laughs may come at expense of family harmony - make sure you shoot someone hated equally by all. Second thought, I'd turn to your best Mr. Bean immitation, maybe a silly sodden smirk with glass raised, toasting everyone - individually tailoring jestures, but no words. Yah, be a Mr. Bean, you don't have to say a thing. Good luck!

I'll wait 'til I see all the donuts, black, yellow, red, brown, and white, all lined up and Juxtaposed with 5 grey-scale donuts before i make a call on this one. Let's all head to the fruit stand ... more fun there.

I'd call this a "valid Variance Visor." It's only good use is to provide a valid ordinal test score to discriminate A's from D's. Sure, all pass, but the D students know they've earned their grade. - called grading on the curve or, better, grading around the bend or pulling grades out of y... nevermind.

... mayonnaise developed in the UK

... And perfected by the Japanese (like Kobe beef and and world-renowned scotch.) Have you tried Kewpie Mayonnaise, especially the more-expensive Japanese style? This former Hellmanns fan suggests you try it. Seems the Japanese can get everything right except nuclear power. 2nd choice cause you can't get it here - Vegannaise, developed by vegans in the USA. Now I'm hungry for a Kewpie sandwich, (sandwich - also developed in the UK.)

(One nice thing about Thai language - one doesn't encounter ambiguous personal pronouns at the rate the language here allows.)

Would be nice to know the prevalence of this kind of hacking - is it just a stolen password used too often, or was the password hacked also in the system. Is there no further security screen question that the account holder must answer after the password gate? I've not read that farangs have had similar issues.

There's too many young teachers out of work in the UK, the British government should take this one step further and issue one year contracts to teachers that are prepared to go overseas and teach, with the promise that they will be given priority when they return to the UK job market.

To me it's a win win situation all round.

Great idea- something like a British Peace Corps, and when they return, they could be commissioned as a domestic British Peace Corps, teaching ...

On topic, my daughter raised rats, gentle and intelligent. Won't bite like those nasty-tempered hamsters.

Off, large grain... would that be corn? Or were they large Romans eating run of the mill (so to speak) grain?

Large grain... like corn?

Wife's computer was dropping or refusing to connect. Turns out Lenovo's own ReadyConn software was the problem. Found the solution by Google-ing the computer and the issue.

When there is so much wrong with the world (it might seem), there is Google to confound and amaze...

Not much industry and breezes from east or west keep the air clean down here in Nakhon Si Thammarat, but ya' have to forego all the excitement of Isaan. Rare to hear a cough, tho...

Kieu attacked her former spouse with a knife in July 2011

... And when convictions come down for Vlad the Impaler, we can look forward to postings of his crimes also. The take-away - keep the sheeple entertained.

Perhaps they've already been washed and only hung online to dry.

snooky

If you are retired and from the US, you can get a great rate - very close to official exchange rate - by having your SS paid directly into your BKK Bank account. This has to be set up through BKK Bank here, in a separate account wherein you must go to the bank personally and withdraw your funds (obviously to make sure you are still alive and no one else grabbing it). Then I just deposit it into my account where I use my local atm for use.

What's missing, Snooky, is - How did you get your hands on my money to deposit it in your account? MPR. Useful starter info, but I thought one had to deal directly with Social Security (S.E. Asia office in Manila) at some point. Am I wrong and if not, where in the sequence does dealing with SSA come in and how is it navigated? Details would find at least one welcoming reader.

I'm also glad my browser stumbled posting, he said apologetically.
