  1. i lived in issan for a while..the green bank..bac.had truck loads of people getting loans..every day..i just could not believe it..

    hard cash 200 300 400 hundred thousand to some people who can never pay it back..

    it seems they treat it like free money...they never think of tomorow so it dont matter to them...live for to day only..

  2. Hire a lawyer experienced with debt cases to contact the banks which hold the debt. I would think that after four years without any payments at all the banks would be willing to negotiate on the interest.

    i would imagine the banks aint bothered as there may be some land title somewhere...so she will have to sell the land

  3. The area in question is a town near Rattanaburi in the north of the Surin province....i would have thought it was a pretty typical Issan town based on my travels.... There are plenty of nice people but the pace of life, superstitious stuff combined with the heavy drinking make it a place I would rather not spend time in.

    i live not far from you..same problem

  4. "Sure, there are people who work on the streets, be them motorbike taxis or food stall cooks who don't have much choice but I'm sure they'd use a public toilet if it was available."

    Hmmm...not so sure about that...regularly see Thai cooks and moto taxi drivers taking a leak by the road/against a fence when the nearest public toilet is only 50 metres away...more laziness/nonchalence than anything. Thais dont want us to defend their ways because they see nothing wrong with them, so dont feel the need to do it (defend them.)

    cheers..

    even in the houses in issan .most will piss where they stand than use the toilet...ladies and men alike

  5. Thais are the worst for personal hygiene I've known anywhere in the world. I think Mr. Cochrane might be referring to the fact that people here take showers reguarly. However, washing hands after going to the toilet or washing hands before preparing food is hardly done. Thais also don't clean surfaces properly before preparing food and use the same knife to cut a raw piece of meat then a cooked piece causing cross contamination. Vegetables are also never usually washed on street stalls and hardly cooked long enough to kill all bacteria especially raw ones served with some noodles or roast pork. Countless times I've found earth on lettuce or tomatoes. Really, Thais know nothing about hygiene and nor do they seem to understand the concept of it but rather take offence when you point it out to them.

    i can tell you this..even when showering some just chuck the water over them..no soap or anything..and even shower with there clothes on
