big c rox !

welcome to the 'hood

"one of the girls commented on the service of the restaurant...she told him that 'his business will suffer if he continues like this"

so one of the "nice young girls" made 2 verbal swipes at the cook ?

yeah , guess she never read that story about jesse jackson spitting on the hamburgers he served to white people when he was a waiter

are the prisons nice in Kauswagan?

Best to avoid these situations.

well said

since there's no court system here , aren't these the kinds of "disputes" that are "settled" w/ either 2 big thai guys coming by your house to collect and /or firearms ?

note to self ; continue to NOT do business in thailand

if she's young and hot

and you're not

and she spends ANY time w/ u

chance r strong to quite strong she's a pro

i though u were gonna' day trade (which is actually night trade here)

offer 200 and be willing to go to 5 right ?

how long would it take you to "personally consume" 8,000 uppers anyway ?

"could have dressed appropriately"

what is that , army camouflage and a shaved head or a white sheet?

nice to see we have fashionista police in the US now

and become the owners of ACA

thx 4 the post

note to self; continue to NEVER drive in thailand

u mean , tourists still go to patong and pay 200 baht for fried rice .

who knew ?

i thought we had decided dudes weren't going to buy their t-raks houses anymore .

after watching all those tourists / russians have to walk back and forth to the airport in the mud last month for three days with their bags only to be told it was closed , you mean someone still would want to go to samui ?

when is the going out of business sale?

i have a friend who wants to know .

The simple fact is we must trust lawyers.

this is where your logic breaks down

personally, at 75, i think he's too young for the job

"get sealed in Mormon temple"

just no stopping these guys

"he should have checked his bank account"

ya' think ?

I made the same mistake.

Extending your right to stay

does not count as

90 day reporting

Cost me a 2,000 baht fine (ouch) (but i guess that's how you learn = the hard way)

so

bring money

when you go report

Oo <deleted>, I always played in the street back in the UK when I was a little nipper. You don`t think I`m low class, do you? Don`t answer that, please.

If my children were playing in the street and I saw some maniac speeding towards them in a dangerous manner, I would shout at my kids to get off the road and then probably just give the speeding motorist a severe disapproving look. My children are growing up now, and when they were young I taught them to be wary, be careful and not to play on the road. It`s that simple.

There are lots of nutters on the roads steering vehicles, could have confutations every day very easily. It is really up to the parents to show their children the way, how to be cautious, stay safe and avoid trouble.

Personally I try and avoid farangs in Thailand I don't know. Some can be nasty, extremely unsociable and a bit screwed up in the head. If there is a new farang on the block in my area, I wait until he/she acknowledges me first; otherwise I intend to ignore them.

It is not wise to get the police involved. The police have enough on their plates without having to become mediators for a couple of idiots, which is how they view the situation. All the OP and the scumbag will end up doing is pissing the police off and causing even more problems for themselves.

Now that the OP has taken the matter this far to the point of no return, then he would be best advised to ignore the scumbag and after some time he may just go away.

awesome stuff, particularly the parts about avoiding farang AND cops here

10 years in a federal slammer , DEPRIVED of freedom (THE most important thing there is)

hope the 3 mos. in phuket were worth it

why do (some) writers leave price out (which basically is THE most important info. a reviewer could provide) ?

Because I am a spaz , I tripped running and landed on my face , arm and leg .

(Arm , leg minor bit I ended up with a) Nice big , deep gash right above my right eye .

I am a child so thank god I had a friend who helped me through the ordeal .

We ended up at the emergency room of a Rama IX hospital.

All I can say is I was treated like I matter , you know (maybe ?) the way it used to be in the States.

Very professional 40ish doctor spent over an hour sewing me up ; interestingly , he spent two years in Boston .

I now look like Rocky after he lost the Apollo Creed fight.

I went back today to have the bandages changed ; the doctor said all is progressing .

So far I am out a little less than $300 US.

Have no idea how much two emergency room visits would cost in LA , or whether I'd be in and out in 15 minutes like today , and have no desire to (ever) find out .

Trying to be philosophical about the money .

While at the same time embracing both my misfortune in hurting myself and fortune in that it happened here . Yin yang right?

Not to mention baby steps.
