buy my own

techincally , i think u need one or more thai wives to buy (her) real estate here

hey , how come no perp walk on TV ?

it's not a righteous bust w/out a perp walk .

same goes for that other dude busted down in pattaya .

I do have a Thai friend who I trust

re: the trust part; is this ur first trip ?

ps whatever u do, if he has a wall safe, DON'T give him ur (new) passport for "safekeeping"

just curious? at the US embassy, they didn't tell u u would need to go thai immigration to get new stamps?

u better slow down and take some deep breaths. ur a long way from 'frisco. dress well , speak only when spoken too and do whatever they want at chaeng wattana to get the stamps u need.

pss nice dramatic flair but ur not teally being "detained" ; just being majorly inconvenienced for ignorance (which is no excuse right?)

i mean, an overstay , stolen passport and low /no money in a foreign land ; that the's "how NOT to do it" trifecta

note to self : continue NOT to live in a "low rent" apartment in phuket

buying makes sense if you keep it pactical.

Rent is always money down the drain.

unless , of course, u live in a country where the government lets squatters occupy the biggest city's best property for two months and then burn down the city's best malls on their way back to the shack

note to self; renting in now third world /formerly second world countries is ALWAYS better

really interesting how many don't come to thailand posts there r here from quite experienced / knowledgeable people .

i guess the bloom is really off the thai rose , ain't it ?

as well u should be

there is no job market for teachers now

i thought about it but then hired this issan lady i know and paid her the 192 baht minimum wage to clean up the mess made by her countrymen (and women) .

does he get to go that nice "prison" down near hua hin where the red leaders r emprisoned / vacationing ?

Money was never the issue

money is ALWAYS the issue

note to self ; continue not to go to the mall bangkapi

They could have had a modicum of mercy on the guy

mercy ? in asia ? no such animal (u saw WW II right ?)

Frankly I dont blame them for burning that ugly building down

nice

Not one neighbourhood.

wrong

ban kai down there by suan lum was pretty supportive (and there's probably more ; parts of klong toey , victory i hear)

was passing through one day and the good people of ban kai were cheering a parade for a dead red from the 10/april skirmish

and they got burned out in reponse .

northern heartland

dear writer of this article,

fyi . the heartland of thailand is bangkok and the central provinces , NOT the north or northeast (issan).

isn't this an internal matter for some of the more level headed brits in pattaya to handle .

i mean , the old fashioned way . locate this guy and , ya' know, teach him the meaning of respect ?

What's your 'estimated' forecast as to when Thailand will return to what we'd consider normal...

a little hard to say as the country just went back in time by about 18 years

^

good question

sign the papers and close ASAP

people r dying in bkk and the baht is soaring

meaning a great time to buy a rajdamri condo right ?

will there be food ?

I just hope you never joined the ranks of the foolish and threw your hard earned cash into wasteful purchases like land and houses.

god i wish i had said that !

The volunteer teachers teach for nothing

i guess nothing isn't worth taking a bullet for

safe passage to peace

sorry can u repeat that

couldn't hear over the gunshots to the west of me at lumphini

I doubt it

u answered ur own question
