Hi everyone

well as i have noticed the dialing code has changed from the uk to thialand and i'am having a few problem's,to explain i can receive call's as normal but dialing out to thialand i get a message saying that the code and number is not registered with gsm for the number i'am dialing.

anyone experience this problem.

Dude, you gotta add an 8 after the 66 country code

Toyicebear - excuse me..... Hard Rock Cafe to "chill and drink at sensible prices"............ are you trying to be funny

yeh right it must be the noisiest place in bangers !and then theres the outrageously drunken ladies of the night who wont give you a minutes peace ! take your industrial strength ear defenders along with you if you want to chill

forgettabout Hard Rock

I think the most certain answer is that nobody knows for sure yet

Thanks for the Thermae Bio, interesting stuff. One thing though is now ladyboys are not allowed inside

This thread belongs in the farang life section of the forum along with so many like threads. That's the trivia section

Nana plaza serves a purpose. cool to see it in the wikipedia. anyone do a search on the thermae?

crash was ok dude

I went to cheap charlies tonite and saw some biatches from New Joysey w/star of davids on

OP, you overreacted man. You gotta take it easy dude. These chicks have skeletons in their closet and sometimes it is a casual aquaintance situation too dude. I'd stay away from Sukhumvit for a while

How do you meet good ladies in your own country?

I've met ladies in all places, never a guarantee they will be quality. Just look around and use common sense ( and a hefty dose of scepticism)

perhaps the OP does not meet ladies in his own country. For me I just cruise around and let the chips fall where they may

This is an old thread but funny coincidence a friend has just returned from Belgium and gave me 4 bottles of Chimay (blue label) of which 2 bottles I drank last night ... very, very nice indeed !

I'm sure it was great to drink the fresh stuff right from the source. They sell that brand at Villa for an outrageous sum and it is stale product to boot. Stay away from all imports sold in Thailand as they are 90% expired product. The only fresh stuff I've found is the cooper aussie product, forget the rest as they would be pulled from shelves in other countries

I am noticing that it is pretty quiet on Sukhumvit this year and a massive police presence as well. My gut tells me that tourism is down big time this year

ah yes, the famed gut comment.

Did you know that your gut has the most nerve connections in the body?

now I know some of you have looked up the information on the net, or in a book, and I know it says that your brain has the most nerve connections.

But that is because you went to wrong source. You asked a book or the internet. When you should have asked your gut.

Better to look at the TAT numbers....and what you may learn is YES there are many reasons why the number of farang hanging out in the Sukhumvit farang ghetto might indeed by down; but in all likelihood, tourist numbers in 2006 are going to top 2005 in terms of arrivals.

For every American or British person not visiting anymore since they started clamping down nightclubs at 1am/2am (or so I would be lead to believe, reading the threats of leaving on almost every english language website about Thailand) there is a replacement Chinese/Korean/Indian/Middle eastern tourist coming in their place and probably spending more per day anyway (but perhaps not staying as long, although I would be willing to investigate it as i simply don't know); and at least some of these are probably not staying in the Sukhumvit.

Plenty of other explanations as well; weather, relative appeal of clubs; issue of coup keeping people out of the streets...who knows.

Ah yes, the typical response from the annoying cocky bugger that I have read so many times before.

So goes sukhumvit so goes Thailand tourism. Sukhumvit appears down, way down.

that's right Moe.

Here's a 70s American icon that no one will get. this one's a stumper

these 2 go together

got 2 B James Brown

Here goes an ez1

You tell me.

Sorry Skipper, but you ain't getting any action from Maryanne or Ginger!

Hey but Skip's been getting down and dirty with Mrs Howell III

real tough one there Moe. Jagger

I was thinking even 70s

With the new airport I feel that it may now be a gamble. I hope not

I guess they will have to repaint this downtown icon.

That will always be the dtac tower in my eyes. Get that Johnny Walker off of there already

I've never been to Issan but it seemed to me based on what I do know that the article was loaded with BS, esp. the bit about the food.

3 year relationship and living together with 22 y/o tg me 45. No marriage on my radar screen although she would certainly like that. I'm content to keep on same course as I don't believe in marriage.

Drinking my 3rd bottle of Coopers Dark Ale. Very nice. The weather is beautiful outside. I got the windows open and listening to music. All good.

Cooper's stout now available in BKK along with 2 types of Cooper Ale, a green label and red label. Tried the stout and green and they are OK, have not tried red. How is that red anyway?
