Anyone know a good, reputable place to rent a motocy from for a week, maybe around Buakhow, Diana or second road?

And maybe a place where they take a copy of the passport and not the passport itself.

Thanks

some rather soulless part of the US

Hey, that's not fair to Arizona.

teachers are just staying a month or two then quiting and just stay in country

Darn cowboy English teachers ruining it for everybody else.

(Unless one has a woman/women/automobile who are in for, say, a third of it) 70,000 is more than enough to live a really decent lifestyle here in Bangkok. My friend Cal does it on two-thirds of that.

Living by the school will be both and good and bad. It's a little off the beaten farang track so it'll be really cheap. But you'll have to take a taxi (or a bus if you're really adventurous) to get to the BTS to get to any farang-friendly fun spots. The Morchit BTS Station is close.

Brings lots of summer clothes. This place is about as it hot as it can be.

None of my business but what are the other two offers. Either of them near/on the BTS or subway (MRT)?

So that means they'll give me another 90s w/ an extension expiring in 11 days?

Have a question please.

My 90 day reporting date is the 15th (of this month).

My extension expires the 26th.

I plan on going in on the 21st to apply for a new one-year extension.

My question is, with my extension expiring on the 26th, would they (even) give me another 90 days if I was to go to Chaeng Wattana on the 15th?

If I don't get a current 90 day, my concern is they will look askew at an extension request package which includes a 90 day report past it's due date.

Thanks

God I miss Muang Ake and Vista.

Oh my god; A&W is closing!

Everything above 110 will do.

Oh, that low; not interested now.

I used to be intelligent. Can I still come?

12 hours a day

That's gotta' be wicked expensive.

You could get some fans.

My one bedroom is 1,000 a month. I run the air at night to cool down the bedroom before sleep.

Yeah, let's see him try to buy some Coke Zero or Pepsi Max.

FYI. Cal told me those lines at the Asoke station are GREAT for girl watching.

Thanks for this post. It is extremely educational.

stolen Be 1st ATM Visa card

None of my business but how did your card get "stolen"?

This is precisely why I speak with/to no one in Thailand unless I start the conversation.

Brought to you by the same government that supported:

Idi Amin

P.W. Botha

Ngo Diem

Poppa and Baby Doc

Ferdinand Marcos

The Shah

Augusto Pinochet

Anastasio Somoza

and worst of all

Tony Blair

Get a bigger dog.

Thank you very much Mr. Spoonman.

Good idea. I'll go into a branch and see what they say.

Any way I can get one here in Bangkok?

I'm here on a Non-Immigrant visa (extended for purposes of retirement).

More important than that, I'm a really nice guy.

thx

My faith in CP Foods has totally been destroyed.

There's nothing in the 7's now, just when we needed them.

Was just at Big C Ratchadamri.

Its sucks (compares to normal).

Really depressing.

Villa sucks too, as does Topps.

Really a bummer to live/go without.

Good post.

How do you expats feel about living here in light of recent

events?

I feel it is important to keep a (larger) supply of Coke Zero, water, Lay yellow and Heineken in the house.

If things get bad, are you planning to stay?

Depends on how bad.

Why stay?

Usual suspects = low cost of living, great food, great weather, political correctness not run amok, no Fox news, Noi, Nit, Nat, Ning, Nong, etc.

Do you feel like Thailand can rise above it's problems, and create a stable

country?

It's politics are none of my business and otherwise it's looked pretty stable to me for the time I've lived here as far as most people getting up and going about their business everyday.

This is the best discussion thread on TV in a LONG time.

Furthermore, the Ag. guy has control of the dams?

The truth, or at least some version of it, comes out.
