BAN NUCLEAR ENERGY..............ecco warriors

I don't know whether the BKK beggar is still at his spot near some BTS station......but this guy made up to THB 30,000/month!!

I think it's embarassing, BUT it will give some Thai another view on farangs, especially those who associate farang with ATM constantly!

30k a month he is doin ok then .......maybe hes not as poor as he makes out then ......i reckon there is not too many farangs like this in thailand.well at least i hope not .......ive heard of some poor down and outs living in a temple in korat with the monks

its funny those bitchin about hd being no good .they seemingly dont go to any bike events in thailand.harleys and choppers are the choice of over 90 % of bikers in thailand , thai bikers wouldnt look at a sports bike twice at an event because there is so many cool one off custom built bikes everywhere to be seen........(i rode sports bikes for years and have nothing against sports bikes ,just sayin it the way it is in thailand)

soi ladprao 130 (ramkhamhaeng 81) the thais refer to this as soi b n b ..plenty of places there

sounds tough though.even your worst enemy u wouldnt like to see him in that situation

big c 400 bt

Yep its a Phantom on steroids(admittedly not many steroids) .weak points are the exhausts and swing arm rust and the brakes sieze. but if its cheap(30-40thou) in good condition and has a book then ok. Allan

wont rust if you look after it

who cares what bike you ride as long as your happy with it yourself........

does any one know what the programe for phuket bike week is this year .music...locations...agenda ..etc...thanks

Dont live in Loei yet but my wife and I plan to retire there not for a few more years but will hapen I tell my wife Loei is one of those great issan secrets that not many farang know about and hope never do as it would ruin the peaceful lifestyle

Well, isn't that special. Someone comes on to log in with one post, types nonsense about being in Jail two years ago (Brian wasn't even there two years ago) and obviously has some personal issue to air out, and people post behind him as if he speaks truth.

fact: I am the guy who wrote the bio for Brian Meisenberg for Foreign prisoners.com. There is zero fiction on that site about Brian. Brian did tell us he was selling investments,and that is what was written. No specific claims have been made about what Brian was doing for employment prior to being arrested. In fact, Brian was totally unemployed at the time.

Fact: I previously requested people visit Brian, but then found out thru someone here that you cannot visit him unless you are on a list and posted that information.

Fact: People came out and tried to rip off Brian's family after he was arrested and then vowed to cause him and the family trouble when their schemes fell apart. The writing style of this post is very similar to the criminals who tried to take advantage of Brian's situation. Perhaps this person who see's fit to post this hate-o-gram is that person? I don't know..I seriously doubt he was in the prison with Brian. The only other German prisoner in the entire place is Brian's best friend and I met with both of them while in Pattaya in January. Incidentially, I met with Brian 5 times in January and for those that are interested he is in pretty good health right now, mentally sharp, and doing his best in the face of hard times. May none reading ever be in the same situation.

I want to thank everyone who has taken an interest in their fellow countrymen who get in trouble in Thailand. Maybe some arrested are stupid, the others naive, and others deserving of what happened to them. Who knows? But they are people, they have families, and no one deserves to be sniped at online by hate-mongers who don't know them, don't have real information on the case or about what is going on. People do get arrested and convicted for charges that they aren't necessarily guilty of in every country, and Thailand isn't excluded from doing this. It is real easy to be a keyboard cowboy and snipe one liners at every story about someone arrested. Miserable s.o.b.s. love to kick others when they are down...they like it when others are brought down to their level.

hi i am the guy who wrote before and exposed the fairy tale of brian scott. when i wrote that i was there 2 years ago i was not being specific. i was there with brian and the reason i wrote on this site was because of the bull i was reading. maybe you are genuine and just trying to help an old friend and if the stuff you wrote on the prisoner site was dictated by brian then that explains the bull.he is not held in shackles, the shackles are put on when you leave prison to attend court and taken off when you return.(thats everybody).at the time i was there there were 5 germans including the kid brian wanted to manipulate.as for the people trying scam money from his family its possible, it did happen to another prisoner while i was there and brian knew this also so it sounds like he made this story his own.while i was there i heard brian say many times that he didnt understand why his friend alex didnt come to visit him.when i got out and looked up things on the net i seen that when brian was arrested he tried to claim the drugs in the apartment were belonging to his "friend" alex. kinda explains the non visits. as for the personal issue to air yes i dont like brian and other prisoners didnt like brian and the reason why one prisoner hit brian.the only time i seen 2 foreign prisoners fall out like that and it was his own doing.the foreign prisoners are few among hundreds in nong pla lai and they stick together and generally get along so ask yourself why was brian the only one to really piss others off. if he was not trying to con something from you he was telling stories of his hundreds of thousands in the bank......i could go on

everything i put in these posts are true and i dont want people conned into helping someone who doesnt really deserve it

whats this brian in for ..is he a drug dealer ..........sounds like a nice guy even fighting with fellow farang prisioners

its a wonder the thais dont send him back to his home country ,he would be looked after better there.

Surely falang like him don't have visas?

i doubt it

I was in Pattaya recently(now live in Bangkok) and thought I would try to find a copy.

Nowhere. Is it still being published?

The magazine "pattaya expat" seems to have vanished too.

Anyone got the scoop on this?

Pattaya Expat is still publlished bi-monthly and is freely available at Friendship Supermarket, Pattaya Tai.

The best recent new free magazine is called 'Pattaya Grapevine'. This is a quality glossy publication and is highly recommended.

called 'Pattaya Grapevine' where can we buy this one syd ?

all thais are just baht bus scum who would fight you over the sake of 5 baht.

Well most of them would/do that is why it is better to pay the correct fare: 10 baht!

i always pay that amount but i met this bb driver one night a few year ago and me and my friend handed in 20 bt and he wanted more ,we only went from soi 8 to royal garden plaza.....the <snip> spat in my face and drove off,i was mad ..but maybe it could have been worse.

the mall ,bang kapi ,any amount of places on the third floor ,very cheap too

its a wonder the thais dont send him back to his home country ,he would be looked after better there.

I've been in the land of smiles 16 plus years never seen this, pics please. Seen many Farangs Monks, during their morning Merit walk, give as I would the Thai Monks. Only the best Fruit and Juice, wife get up early to make rice and other Thai food.

i was embarassed enough for him ,i wasent going to start taking pictures of him as well.go to the market he is probably still there at weekends

i saw this farang sitting on the ground in the middle of theprasit market the other day playing a wooden flute type instrument..he looked a bit trampish..he wasent old maybe early 40s .i threw him a 100 bt out of sympathy for him ,even the thai people couldnt believe it ,they were giving him money too....it was an unsual sight i have to say.just wondering did any of ye ever come accross similar situations before ...???

never read it but if its offensive to thais i guess it wont be long on the shelves where ever it is sold..they dont take kindly to offencesive remarks........
