  1. guys these threads always border on being perceived by moderators as being a form of advertising for the venue. I look at them as being a way of spreading the word amongst the members of where to find a great pizza, ribs, English Style breakfast, late night snack etc BUT please do everyone a favour including the owner of the venue by putting more into your posts. A post such as "Bar XYZ does the best breakfast" is useless, tells us nothing and is pretty much a waste of electrons. Tell us WHY it is good, why it is better than the others, and put in some prices and selections available. That way they become useful reviews and have a much higher chance of staying alive.

    One other point - in the past, some owners have either done blatant self promotion or had a mate put up a thread that reads like an advertisement. Please remember we mods walk a line between what is information for our members and protecting our sponsors.

    Just fyi - I liked the breakfast at the Laughing Leprechaun, Mad Dogs, and the Olde Belle. Not been home to CM for 12 months now and so things may have changed.

    Read your own post for f@*k sake.

    And the reason you like the Laughing Leprechaun,Mad Dogs and the Olde Bell is.....

    Reminds me of some jumped up hypocrite of a school prefect wagging his finger at a first year pupil. :)

  2. Interesting Hitachi make alot of the electrical motors for some of the other brands washing machines, I decided to buy a Hitachi 8kg washing machine, it was about 11,000 baht, it would be 18 months old now and has worked really well (touch wood), I would say for the price it does a good job. Previously I owned Fisher and Paykel washing machines and found them to be really good but they are expensive in Thailand.

    Do you really think we'd take your advice on a washing machine? We don't want the local babies to start twisting and turning.

    I nearly choked on my coffee when I read this one,for laughing too much,nice one.cheesy.gif

  3. Yes, I was wondering about the It, a bit like a thing or object, strange to refer to yur child that way.

    True,also using "the child" twice as if he/she was created in some cellar laboratory.Nothing wrong with my daughter/son or our daughter/son.

  4. But well, let's get back to the original topic, you live or want to live in Thailand, is it because you like the Thai people?

    Or is it the weather? :)

    No,No,No.

    As it asks on the visa application form reasons for staying in Thailand or words to that effect,it's not the food,people,weather, temples,beaches,cheap this or that,it's to support my thai wife and my kids(family).Where does it state that I must like Thailand and everything in it and must despise my own country,yes I will gladly go back to my own country but the wife will need more convincing.

  5. some of my farang friends in LOS.. a former French foreign Legionaire, 2 volunteer tourist police.. the usual suspects..etc..

    some of my Thai friends in LOS.. a volunteer Pattaya policeman/ tour operator..a BKK muslim taxi driver/womanizer...etc..

    signed: thin, but not devoid of experience in LOS

    That's got to be the Top Trumps of mates you want in Thailand.cheesy.gif

  6. Rope Access is only one method to get to a work site. What would the OP do once he gets there??

    hhmmmm start working?

    As I doubt he has a degree in chemical engineering or geology its a foot in the door,it took me 2 years to get a start in the N.Sea they don't like to use green hands if they can.

  7. To the OP.Avoid the Drilling side if you can,the pay is not as good as other off shore disciplines,unless your a back stabbing kok sucking yes man you will go far.As someone has mentioned before try rope access if your fit,save money and get as many inspection tickets under your belt.You have the option of working on shore as well if things are slack off shore also has a better safety record than the drilling side and a better working atmosphere in my opinion.
