I have never had mail or a package go missing here in 35+ years. Are you sure you are racist enough?

Ao Nang does have dreadful food, but Krabi town is for Thai's and is delicious. Chinese, Muslim and Thai are all good. Mate I was first in Krabi in 1999, only Ao Nang long enough to get a longtail to Raillay which at the time was heaven. Now gone to sh#t. By the way you mentioned Chiang Rai to Petchabun. Just back from Petchabun, Khao Kor, I think you would find Khao Kor to Chiang Khan, to Loei a much better trip. Many more back roads and alternate ways to go. Lots of accommodation as well.

Krabi town is quite a lovely southern Thai town. Completely clean as the streets are swept each morning. Great Chinese coffee and tea shops to wonder around in the morning. It also has just a beautiful river walk you can jog as well. A lovely estuary you can travel by boat which is inexpensive and fun. Plus its just an hours drive to Thailand's best hot springs along with an incredible crystal blue pools for swimming. Ao Nang is the dump of the island. Have you really spent any time there? It was one of my most pleasant surprises in Thailand.

Do you realize the only Thai word in an English dictionary is BONG? Thai's have smoked weed for hundreds of years. The farung market for it is much smaller than the Thai.

Never heard that before and my wife drove an LPG powered car for 8 years. Nary a warning one. Most of her friends and a lot of people in our village converted as well. Never once heard that, going back nearly 20 years now.

Would you ever marry a bar girl? If so, why?
marin replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Not to sure about this as one of your first threads was how you took a "girl" to Koh Chang and were shocked she expected to get paid. Not only that but for you were genuinely surprised at the predicament you had gotten yourself in. By the way, when did "Mrs" Smith come along?- 621 replies

RC plane accident severely injures Nonthaburi woman’s finger
marin replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Just so its know the field in Bang Bua Thong is only for RC planes, it it not used for anything else. Some of the best remote control planes, cars, and boat shops are located next to it as well. Its as well known as the bigger one located on RTAF property in Don Muang. That one is near my house, and I used to take my kids to see the boats and planes. These are dedicated places the RC enthusiasts go to. Others like myself and kids simply go to watch. Just what she did but she chose not to watch or be aware of what was going on as evidenced by the fast she was playing games on her phone. -

As a boomer who had to use maps before Google I am a bit surprised. My wife and I are planning a road trip in our car. I simply look at about where we want to stop and then I have a name, with this name I can google up a place to stay. Put up your route please.

I clearly see your point, but I believe he has been working and does hold a WP, He has this thread up.

The OP is not on a retirement visa. He is working in I believe Chonburi province and has young daughters in primary school there. He has a thread running on their schooling as well.

Extra-long weekend in Thailand: here’s what you need to know
marin replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not at all. No hotel rates will go up they are waiting for customers, just checked all airfares and none have gone up, mostly down. The government promotes these holidays for consumer spending thats why we now have a 6 day weekend. Also remember its the middle of the low season. -
Can we state that tourism in Thailand is "sick"?
marin replied to peter zwart's topic in General Topics
^ Can you be more specific as I for one think the "comeback" is doing rather well. Hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, which do you think are suffering the most and in what areas of Thailand. -
