barrybike

Anyone been?

Whats it like?

ive been to tiger disco in phuket ,good spot

Hope you have luck and find a bar open with a great atmosphere to watch the match and I hope you will be happy with just the championship,

The Triple crown will be ours.

C'mon Cymru

remind me there of your recent record against us in cardiff?

the 61 years of waiting is about to come to and end

Our recent record against you in Cardiff may not be that good but then your record of winning grand slams aint too good either.

I hope its a good match and the best team wins, I hope its Wales but if its Ireland then there is no other team I would rather see win a grand slam, good luck

same here .come on ireland

i never change in ireland ,you always get better value over there by just bringing your euro with you .........

they would get a royal suite in a top hotel for that.........

isent the nagas mc bike club based in sri racha and they are all farang ???????

get a hand gun in your wifes name ........

Work your brain and your legs

lol i plan on doing that and maybe use my hands too

come on ireland

ireland are on top form at the moment .............should be a good game........and if were lucky bernard dunne might get his hands on a world championship belt later on that night...........

better head back to his own country ,he needs help and hes in the wrong place to get it .......he will only get worse if he stays in the same situation as he is now ......tell him to go home and get things on track again and that thailand will always be there again if he wants to return.its a pity to hear of stories like this but i bet hes not the first or wont be the last ........

get your gf a bar with big windows in it coz i bet she will see you comming again lol

phyl lynnott of thin lizzy .......the best front man ive seen in thailand at a gig was nui amphol lumphoon of the band micro

Checked the usual suspects (Tesco Carrefour) expecting to find it commonly... anyone seen it around the traps or is it more in the specialist hair supply stores?

Oz

you can get the gel type brylcreem but the old traditional one in the red screw cap jar is impossible to find......

gavin mann ..who was this guy any way ,,where was he from ......was he well known there ........unusual to have some ones name on a thread like this..........????????????? not much respect to a dead guy by the sounds of it.......

ok so this is a bit of a long story, but i would appreciate some advice as i cannot ifnd much specific to my situation online.

I am a british citizen living in england, and met my thai girlfriend here almost two years ago. she became pregnant around august last year and wanted to go home to see family etc and have the baby there. She had also overstyed her visa already by quite a long time. the thai embassy helped her sort out gettin back (they told her to "lose" her passport and gave her a permission to travel document).

The baby is now due in around a month and i will be flying over for 3-4 weeks for the birth. i was planning to simply get married while we are over there then help her apply for a visa, come back myself and for her to follow when the visa is done. now however we have realised she was not even divorced (her thinkin it had been done while she was in england) so she has finalised that in the last few weeks and tells me we cannot now marry for around 300 days. so i have been lookin into fiancee visas.

The question i have is mainly toward the evidence you need to provide that you have met each other and know each other and stuff. i obviously have alot of photos of us together showin when she was in england which are dated and things. but since she went to thailand, although we speak on the phone everyday, i have no evidence of this as i do not recieve itemised billing and have changed phones twice. Surely the baby will be proof enough of our relationship? or will i still need some other proof, and if so what?

also i would like to kno if there is anyway of speeding the process up because we have a child together as i want to spend as much time with them both as soon as possible. does anyone know if there is special application or type of visa for this? or anyone in a similar situation could share their experience.

i really would appreciate any advice or suggestions greatly as i feel like there is nothing i can do at the moment and the waiting around is killing me.

ive never heard of proof like that before but anyway what you need most importantly is proof that you pay tax working etc ,maybe some electricity bill in your name to prove you have a house for them to live when they go back with you full time , a bank statement of course to prove you can provide for them ....the divorce bit sounds tricky ,get married in a proper regristrary office in bangkok .you will need a birth certificate , passport . your gf will need certificate too , go to thai embassy with your gf to sort all the stuff out before you do this and go to the uk embassy in bangkok also they will tell you and her what you need too , about the proof sure when baby is born ,they can do a test on you to prove you are the father ,just a hair from your head or swab in your mouth...alot of people go to these visa agencies any pay them stupid money for just going to the few places i mentioned already.takes a bit of going around but its no bother when you have everything correct ........pity she didnt have the child in the uk as it would have saved a lot of hassle ,...hope this helps a little ....i just wrote this coz the way you were saying simply go over get married and come back ,its not that simple................shit loads of paper work involved...

more pics

from the op name secret man ..i wonder if he is a man lol........

I am seriously interested in being the first person in Oz (or LOS) to have one of these!

bsj there would be some serious torque from that bad dog ,3500 cc ,how much do you think it would cost for everything to get one on the road ??? i think the customs in thailand would go fairly hard on you to import one of those bikes ........

chonburi is a province ,pattaya is there ,sattahip ,sri racha ,jomtien, yes some nice areas to visit and plenty of things to do for everyone.......... alot of bargirls and vice there in pattaya is biggest problem if you dont want your friends kids in an area like that....but some really good hotels there too........your friend might be telling you about kanchanburi too by the sounds of it (my spelling is prob wrong too) its more of sight seeing place ,its where the river kwai is remember from the film bridge over the river kwai...this would be closer to bangkok

St. Patties Day update...

sign out in front of the (Sukhumvit) Soi 8 pub today... 99 baht pints of Guinness all day next Tuesday... one baht cheaper than the Dubliner mentioned above... but be prepared for lots of cigarette smoke...

do they not enforce the smoking ban then here....................

Beverly Hills? Some of the posts make it sound riff-raff central.

But seriously, some of those places are pretty expensive and I wonder why the residents don't chip-in on some quality, professional security teams. Honestly, if the place is known as a no nonsense, cross the line and you will experience some pain and thrown in jail area, crime would go down.

TheWalkingMan

sounds like a good idea ...........

ive seen several people in wheel chairs at the royal palace hotel on second road ,check out their web site might be of some help, nice hotel and spacious 1000 bt a night

if your ever back in ireland again ,come to my pub in wexford the out house bar and lounge.the best pint you will ever taste .guaranteed ......my wife from thailand can keep your missus busy chatting while you enjoy your pint

Is your pub in Wexford town and if so what street ?

its between wexford town and new ross town ,12 mile from each place ,about 2 mile off main road .place called foulksmills ,county wexford..

you are 35, even at 40 you will still have/want to work.

doing some job on the net/phone probably is easiest to do, even without permits - and you can earn $ instead of baht.

on my extended holidays in thailand I don't have enough time to do everything I want to. Even when I reduce promoting my business and answering emails to a bare minimum, still I can offord only a fev days of travelling around.

depending what you fancy, but travelling, sports, gardening (even growing your own fruits and vegetables), learning some new skills on courses (including through the net), socialising, learning language will take you all time.

thanks ,ya im big into custom bikes and have alot of friends involved in this throughout thailand so that would be my hobby ,ya im still 35 well 36 soon ,i was saying we are trying to get things together before we move , we have 150 rai of rubber trees grown ,little over 12,000 trees in it ,theyre going on 2 years old now so hopefully in another 3 or 4 years we will get something back from them as i was saying i was just wondering how some people put in their time there .cheeers
