trashy

Can you get hold of a Honda Phantom or Kawasaki Boss in Khon Kaen??

This resort is between Chaweng and Choenmon.

Hardly a place for sex-tourists, they like to where the girls are.

It's a huge place on both sides of the road, very secluded from tailors, seven eleven, bars etc.

I think the concept will suit this place.

When viewed from the sea, it resembles council house estates in the UK, awful!!

Maybe someone could open a dog free resort!!

Where in Lamai can you buy bottles of spirits (Whiskey and Gin) ???

How competitive are the prices there?

Can you buy some sprits at Samui Airport after you arrive on an International Flight and before your clear immigration/customs??

Cheers,

FH

You're joking, right!

Apart from the thai shops, the place is riddled with 7-11's and family marts.

I am not one to penny pinch and I know everyone is having a tough time at the moment which is why I despair when I visit my local Thai food eatery and they have put their prices up even though they are busy!!

I know this is normal practice under the Thai business logic but when there is a worldwide recession on and everyone is finding it hard it just seems to me like a 2 fingure salute.

Maybe this is against forum rules but how about us ex-pats sticking together and supporting the venues that support us i.e, happy hours, discounts etc please list any venues you know of that are helping us in these difficult times so we can return the favour and support them.

I quite agree, but the silence says it all.

Its been time and time a foreigner never learnt anything not to say only you Eric but lots of them . We have heard lots of this kind of stories over and over again. Why the hel_l this people never learn .

Yes i know its all about love in the first place but dont you ever learn or have plan B what will happen if the love never work out ?

You know why they never learn? Because suddenly here they are called "hansum maaan" and "I love you long timeee" etc, and that never happened to these men before. So they "melt" and they think that they finally found "true love" and because they are also quite naive they are willing to put everything in their "loved one's" name and eventualy end up like this. I also agree that the Thai lady thinks it's a gift to her and her family, and probably quite angry that suddenly the farang wants it back

If you have read the full story, you will realise that this 'woman' is a confidence trickster, and a professional at that. Greed will be her downfall, and I hope that she will lose the lot. Under Buddism, what goes around, comes around. Your comments Marmelad, are as pathetic as you are.

Anyone been there recently?

I was there this week, they must have had a change of ownership.

The local street peddlers were trying to push their rubbish in the premises.

Last time I was there, they were not allowed in, which was correct.

I don't know about everyone else, but I for one, do not like being pestered whilst eating, or having a pleasent drink.

I think most non-Thais feel the same.

Gag all of the soi dogs, and cut the heads off of all the chickens/hens/roosters/cockerels that wake up before daybreak.

Well done Eric, I hope all of the intricies are sorted out easily.

Eric, best of luck today

Keep on walking and don't look back. Thailand is full of these women.

A lot has happened since last May.

I successfully managed to get a block put on lands and house, but that ended up being in June.

At that same time, my lawyer said to the Judge that I was prepared to accept a 50/50 solution, the Judge asked the ex. She said she needed time to think about it (she had a year already) so the judge said to come back in 7 days. I returned to court the following week with my lawyer, she didn't. So the Judge said that I would have to wait until Feb '09, as he was interested to hear from her 'witnesses'.

After this, she spent increasing times away from the house, living in 1 of her properties in BKK.

In September '08, I got so frustrated as she had been away from the house for 11 weeks. Needless to say the house and gardens were looking a right mess. So, I went to the main Police station in Nathon wth my lawyer. I asked for the Police to give me permission to live in my own house, in order to save me paying rent, and to take care of the house. The Police gave me a report allowing this. When I got to the house I found both of my water pumps useless. A repair man managed to repair the 'well' pump on sight, but the house pump had been running for 11 weeks with no water, and was red hot. Once cooled, and primed I switched it back on. There were so many leaks, due to the seals having disintergrated, that the repair man had to take it away for repairs. A few days later, he brought it back and reinstalled it.

I had to go to Hua Hin for a couple of days. In the meantime, the coconut telephone had been buzzing.

When I got back from HH, it was too late to go to my house. The next morning my lawyer called to say the ex had come back to Samui and had been to the Police, originally saying that there had been 12 baht gold in the house. I think she was persuaded not to persue that angle, and to file a trespass suit aginst me. Well that's 6 months down the line now, and at last been dropped, after visits to the Police, finger prints taken etc, and visits to the Public Prosecutors office, the case has been dismissed.

I spent 3 days in court last month, the ex only managed to produce 2 witnesses, neither of which I believe, were on her original paperwork. For obvious reasons I cannot comment on what her witnesses said. Anyway after me being in the 'box', the Judge asked me if I wanted to stay in Thailand, to which I replied 'Yes'. We have to go back to the court Friday 27th, for the Judges decision......................

Hi Eric.

I thought that I heard through the grapevine that you went to the court in January for arbitration, nothing came of it?

Mistresserika.

I found out about this 3 days before the arbitration, my lawyer said no point in me going. Anyway I did go with some friends (I didn't want 'default of apperance' to go against me). There were 2 arbitrators, neither of which was approved by me. Anyway, I wanted the usual 50/50, but with the clause that I stay in the house to bring it back to sales standard. She refused. So that is why it went to the full hearing last month. There are reasons why I wanted it to go to the full hearing, but I cannot divulge them now as the judgement is only 2 days away.

Go for it, best of luck.

I had a divorce court case which we settled at the mediation stage. A meeting between both parties and the judge held before the actual trial.

I agreed to give her all assets, House, 20 rai of farming land, 5 motorbikes etc in exchange for custody for my two sons.

I am sorry to say that it proves the cliche that some Thai women would rather have money and assets than the joy of watching their children grow up and become good honest people.

She chose the money. I chose to take care and love my children.

Who won?

I did.

Nice story

OK guys, without too much expense, what is the best make to buy. I know your probably going to say chubb, but is there a cheaper one which may be as good? (bearing in mind the average Thai house burglar is not a pro)

Sure, I understand that the coconut trees were a government insentive some time ago. Providing work and an income. I guess back in those days no thought was given to the damage they cause.

Hope the judge lay's it on her in equal measure!

Why should it be equal measures, the input was not equal.

Hope the judge gives back as per what was put in.

Have you not laid her enough. Now lay off her!

Not long before the losers show themselves, go back to your beer bottle haze.

Please let us know the result next week, fingers crossed for you
