Anyway, Good girls go to heaven - Bad girls.................go everywhere!

Hi Olsen,

Are you from Denmark? (judging from you name)

I am planning a trip to the south and would like to pass by in Khanom. Up for a cup of coffee/beer?

Sorry I missed this one, any chance of another get-together at Bullies or somewhere else soon?

I'm more than happy to go to a non-smoking pub. I'm more interested in the words that people speak as opposed the smoke they breathe in and out.

Organise a night out JFC and I am sure the majority of us (smokers or not) will attend!.

Zorro mentioned the pub up on the edge of soi 4, 'Bullies' I think it's called. From memory that's a non smoking establishment. Good food too.

and Nana Plaza next door

Any chance of an unofficial X-mas pissup sometime in December?

I'm the original poster and am looking for some more people to play squash with either at my court or yours. I guess I'm at a low intermediate level or so now.

Please send me a personal message, including your phone number!, and I will get back shortly.

Hello

Though I have never played squash, but am very much interested in learning and playing it to get fit and lose some weight...

When can be the right time to meet/play and what all equipment(s) are needed ?

Thanks

Nav

Hi Rick,

I will be back on December 10, ready for an 11 am game?

Who else are play now? Tom?

Haven't seen anyone reporting getting a Tourist Visa in Brunei recently, but the free part has been discussed since late June. Some may be interested in knowing if they would issue double entry Tourist Visas or only single entry there?

Mine is just a single entry, but totally hassle free. Just had to show up with a picture and an ongoing ticket. Applied in the morning and got the visa in the afternoon the following day.

VISA AND CONSULAR SECTIONS: WORKING HOURS: MON-FRIAPPLICATION: 08.30-11.30HRS.COLLECTION: 13.30-16.30 HRS.

I haven't got started on the bit-torrent down-loading yet, simply because I don't want to use my work computer, but I am very tempted to get an extra computer and use it for torrents.

Before I do that, could any of the torrent guros check and/or confirm if there are any cooking programs available as torrents?

Stuff like Jamie Oliver, Michael Smith, AFC (Asian Food Channel), etc....?

This might be old news, but no harm in sharing. I just got a Thai 60 days tourist Visa for FREE in Brunei.

lets have fun with the numbers.

The probability to die (D) driving 1 mile = 0.000000334 -> the probability NOT to die (ND) when driving 1 mile = 0.999999666

The probability to die (D) when driving X miles: D = 1 - (ND)^X

D(1000 miles) = 0.03%

D(10,000 miles) = 0.3%

D(100,000 miles) = 3.3%

D(1,000,000 miles) = 28.4%

Seem like you have done your homework. Do you mind sharing how much you are paying per rai/square wa and roughly where in Thailand?

Great thread love those old pics!!

Will try get some of Pattaya from the 1970's, from a relative so can't promise.

While we wait for monkfish's Pattaya pictures, lets have a look at this little collection. What year are we in, mid 1960 or so? Nice music by the way.

OP

If the land title is Chanote or NS3G you can lease the land in your name. On leased land you can apply for buildingpermit in your name. Needed documents are lease, passport and Certificate of Residence (normally issued by Immigration). House build according to buildingpermit becomes your property and remains so as long as lease is valid max 30 years.

But if its an inexpensive house, why spend all this money on legal fees, taxes and so on?

And if you brake up, you cant sell the land & house easily anyway so would you like to live there?

Thanks for all the advise and the simplest solution, seems to be to make a usufruct (user right) on the land and then the house can be in my name.

As said before, I have no real interest in the house and for all practical purpose the house will belong to the in-laws. I might stay the odd night there after a BBQ in the front yard, but I will never live there.

The only reason why I would like the house in my name is that "Past favours hold no present value" in Thailand. A few years down the road, the favor of building the house will fast wear off, but a quick reminder that they are actually living in my house, should ensure a sort of mutual respect.

Very cool thread. I love old photos.

Where is this?

(Sorry just realized this is Bangkok Forums. Pic is not from Bangkok)

I forget the name of the road? 2nd road not beach road Phuket.

I also go for Phuket, because of the hill in the background.

Time for a commercial break, the music just make me so happy and it is soon time for a beer (it is Friday after all).

This photo is of a place where many people now meet to head south or north from Bangkok...but where?

Hua Lampong?

Here is an easy one. What is the name of the building under construction?

Dusit Thani

BINGO - Spot on.

This place is in Bangkok, but where?

Blue Elephant?

Udon Thani.

BINGO we got a winner. Udon Thani 1973. Not far from the Airbase.

Here is a picture of the US radar station, Camp Ramasun Station in Udon Thani.

Maybe somebody will recognize this:

Nope, it is not Chiang Mai. Another picture from the same city:
