A tragedy..... RIP...... Hope he gets what he deserves......

Very sad indeed. Sadly money talks in every country....

The facts are a idiot drove too fast and killed someone, no skid marks! And hit and run!

Doesnt matter what speed... its a sad display of weathly foolishness and human disrespect!

You can only hope he finds a room mate called BUBBA.

Seems it was the perfect CAR JAM..... What are the chances....... SAd sad sad!

shocking... sad news for all involved. Is that Sombat - or do they all have pink blankets?

This is such a one sided negative view - Why do people go and live in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Berlin, etc.....anywhere else for that matter.

When people go to a new place they do what they couldnt do back home. Some do good things some are - fat old and stupid and pay for what they cant get and get ripped off at the same time.

If your 60+ and have a wife half your age and your daughter is older then your wife then there is something - Not quite right..

I have lived in many countried due to work and choose to live in here and I do so for many reason that do not include Sex, Drinking and all the above.

I also choose to write here as I have the time to do so and can afford the time - you cant do that in various mentioned cities. I have tried.

I dont have illusions of grandure - I consider myself lucky to be able to have made a choice and be able to do what I feel I need to do.

Sure I have sex in every country and I do like a drink if I feel like it but thats not why I choose to live in Thailand. You can pay for sex in any country and drink yourself silly anywhere too.

I have also had business in other countries, just because I had a bar in Thailand does not make me a pimp. I still get emails from people everyday who had such a great time the encourage more tourists to visit.

Why, they enjoyed thier time in a nice country - without the stereotype detailed by the poster of this artical.

Some people have morals and bring service where it was missing.

In Australia we accept forign owners that bring Deli's and Restaurants to the shores as it brings new tastes and service.

There are stereo types everywhere......but usually thats who you associate yourself with and most comments like this post explain more about the poster.

If thats what he/she/it see's then it tells more about his surrounding then mine. I live in central BKK and it feels more like the west than the west does nowadays.

I choose to think better about people and hope fools and idiots stayed back in thier country.

I thought that whenever I saw undesireable in any place I lived...If I didnt like it I LEFT, I didnt complain like an old maid about it.

Isnt Hollywood and Vegas the centers of sex sin drinking drugs prostitution and fun.. Dont millions of people go to Hollywood daily and sell thier souls for an unrealistic dream ?

...I wouldnt come to Thailand for what I left behind. I came here for some very valid and good reasons.

Food friends and sunshine are the main things on my list - followed by the environment to live in a stress free city/country.

Not everyone who is an expat is a sexpat. Look in the mirror and around you and see who you are.

Dont judge others . . . and spread bad stereotypical views that are as old as your mamma's.

..and hell, if you dont like it - buy a ticket and GO. ...sounds like the stereo type of the Whinging Pom. ( sorry to the UK folk who dont bitch about things.... )

LOL.. Where I come from thats called a good day! T-shirt weather!

But where I come from theres mass flooding in the Australian summer?!?!

"diarrhoea are usually common in the wake of lower temperatures."

Ha ha ha!!!! Never heard that one before! I thought it was from bad food!

After living here for 10 years I must agree it has been rather cold in the capital.

Hard to find a good summer nowadays!! Best head back to the southern provinces soon.

I really feel sorry for my friends the farmers in Chinag Rai as frost destroys thier Tea farms!

"In the capital, the mercury ranged between 17 and 19 degrees Celsius during the coolest moments."

Great sleeping weather - Open the windows and turn off the Air con!

cheers, will give em a call, Just wondering though, any idea of just a small "SMART" cheap FIX-it shop near Thong Lor?

Rather give a few bucks to a local then a company....

Hello,

I have a semi new Phillips Electric shaver that just stopped - after a train ride !

Looking to find a shop where it can be "sussed" before buying another.

Sadly razors just chew up my face ( Dark bathroom and too sleepy too be careful ) and before i turn in to a bleeding mess I want to see about repair....

I know Pantip fix's computers, but where do you go to get a shaver looked at!

Thinking its just a loose connection or a transformer/plug issue???

Any leads would be great . I am near Thonglor end of town!

Cheers in advance! .... from a bearded new year!!

Blasphamy is what you may think.....

I am a lover of Les Paul and own ORIGINALS worth a nice penny + and DO NOT PROMOTE the manufacture of copies..

BUT...lets face it they are out there and I want to see how good the imitations are for use in a NON musical project.

I know they are made in China and Korea ( branded with all the same serial number ?!? )

but has any one seen an actual GIBSON copy in BKK? Preferably a LES PAUL custom or vintage styled GIbsons.

I have seen many Les Paul look alikes with brands such as "Century" etc... on the head stock but I am looking for some actual GIBSON copies for an arts project.

I can not possibly use real GIBSONS as that would be sinful!

Let me know if you have sen any about. Cheers.

I can't say whether Bangkok will have its traffic problems eliminated by liberal application of sea water or not

The price of snorkle's would go up! Buy now and SAVE

Currently I am looking to buy some bubble padded post packs in bangkok.

The ones from the post office are 12 baht each but way too big. 23cm x 18.5cm.

and the ones from Tesco are 15 Baht and same size......I am looking for some about half that size and in hundreds. Any idea's?

About 12cm x 14cm or there abouts would be fine...

I know Australia Post sells them in that size but pretty sure they buy them outsourced......and it works out too expensive to get them via OZ.

Seems like a waste to continually send something so big when I dont need that size, waste of paper, bubbles and postage costs?

If someone knows let me know...

Blessings and smiles,

Just been down to Silpabarn again today, and again, found what I was looking for. Would recommend them to everyone, forget Office Depot!

Please any better directions, I was looking too but couldnt find it... Is it on Suk or on a side soi?

Near a BTS or some other land mark? cheers.
