i don't get it . abhisit / the army won . (it took way 2 long to get it done) but the reds got crushed / sent packing . PPP is splintering (as it should in the face of such a collosal political miscalculation). reconcile for what ?

duh .

prices ?

jim webb's a good man

but he's wrong

it was the criminal class occupying ratchaprasong (and a lot of per diem issan housewives) not "marxists"

that's such a bad reading of what happened it's laughable .

ps having started, not won and not extricated itself from 2 asian "wars" in the past decade , who would listen to what the US says about foreign affairs anyway ?

course , when u have to defend your actions, it means u f ed up and have already lost the debate

i'm sure they will miss u .

and that u will be happy w/out cable in what during daylight hours is probably one of the most boring spots on the planet .

now that's a win win

u mean everything is not 122% peachy w/ thai real estate ?

that can't be right

2,250 ?

that's a deal ?

note to self: continue not to (OVER) pay /play at siam country club

Are cheating sellers protected once a sale is made?

yes. not only "protected" but "congratulated" ('specially when the other party is a farang)

actually it's neither

the winner is called "get over it"

what can I do to stop this?

i know ; move .

note to self ; continue to ONLY live under a month-to-month RENTAL contract in bkk

whether somebody walks in with an M16 and takes everybody out

would have been leveled by now

something on your mind ?

sometimes , not often , people get the upcommance they deserve

now he has a lot of time to think about his 15 minutes of fame up there on that red stage as the laos / issan looked at him and said "farang bah"

note to self; continue NOT to go to/swim in the ocean off of patong

we have only been together a short time

Marrying my girlfriend would enable me to stay and if we opened a business together

now u got it !

for 1,000,000 baht less

sell (if u can even find a buyer) at a loss ?

how can that be possible ?

i saw a post once or twice w/ percentages re: return on investment/equity and thought thai real estate was bulletproof .

que pasa ?

let's understand this , politically .

the reds at the height of the ratchaprasong squatting nonsense were offered a november election . they didn't accept .

then they got sent backing back to issan w/ their tails between their legs .

their strategy failed completely .

they got nothing in the budget

and the PM is stronger than ever

other than some of the best parts of bkk having been torched , it couldn't have turned out better .

(when they not drunk on lao kao) let them be willing to die and practice shooting ; we'll see how far the army lets them south NEXT TIME on route 2

one would be cautious to put a deposit down

ya' think ?

I dismissed it out of hand at first

don't doubt yourself ; go w/ your original thinking

My god I could never imagine

myself buying any property in Thailand.

god i wish i had said that !

they really don't think about us that much

we r in the same category as a soi dog crossing their path unless they r a cute girl in which case they might benefit from our presence

for under 10k?

is that even possible ?

way 2 crowded at xmas

yes , driving a taxi

driving a motorcy taxi

driving a tuk tuk

making som tom on the side of the road

and that other guy who was sleeping one off

i always have one piece of advice in situations like this :

bring more money

bangkok has some deals

but those touristy places ur going to r REALLY expensive (and why isn't pattaya on that list?)

bring a combination of cash , travelors checks amd ur ATM card(s) (hopefully tied to an account with a healthy balance)

and remember to have fun ; the memories may come in handy when ur practicing law

Makes you realize renting is far better than buying in Thailand!

god i wish i had said that !
