Please tell me where THAT place is. I PRAY that it is Chiang Mai.

I believe that photo is of a "VIP shower", and can be found across the road from the PornPing Hotel in CM.

Celebrity CNX on Chareon Prathet just north of the Loi Kroi Iron Bridge. You have to be blind to miss it. Neon figure of a gal in a neon shower on the outside of the building if my memory serves me correctly.

I'm thinking the OP has lived a very sheltered life, or this post is pretty much the definition of a 'troll post'. I'm leaning toward the later.

However, even if it's a troll, I think even the mods are mildly amused enough to let it ride.

So here's my hint for the OP:

A regular Thai massage: 200 baht

An oil massage: 300 baht

An oil massage with a 'happy-ending': 800 baht

A soapy massage in BKK: 2,500+ baht

Now, apply some analytical skills to the above information and I'm sure you'll get the drift

Nice gravel road they have there! Impressive infrastructure! 555

No one must utter 'God's' name. What a certifiable nut job. lmao

Maybe that did, and maybe they didn't. Either way, you have to come up with something better than innuendo.

I'm thinking Cos is now just a magnet for any and all gold-diggers looking for a easy buck. 1974? Let's see the police reports.

Why not educate yourself about eyewitness testimony and then restate your questions?

There are many links out there about the unreliability of eyewitness accounts and how they might vary or change. CNN is running with it today on the news.

Don’t miss our trial consultant responses at the end of this article: Roy Aranda and Rita Handrich.

Eyewitness error is the leading cause of wrongful felony convictions. For example, eyewitness error played a role in 72% of the 302 DNA exoneration cases, and it is estimated that one-third of eyewitnesses make an erroneous identification (APA, 2011; Innocence Project, 2013). In this article, we discuss why jurors and legal professionals have difficulty evaluating eyewitness testimony. We also describe the I-I-Eye method for analyzing eyewitness testimony, and a scientific study of the I-I-Eye method that shows it can improve jurors’ ability to assess eyewitness accuracy.

Yeah, I trust the veracity of CNN - the mouthpiece of the inner Washington DC beltway. They parrot whatever the government wishes them to publish along with the other MSM sellouts. I'm not talking out my butt - I've seen it first hand; up close and personal, and totally inaccurate. Vet your sources.

Why are Bhopal survivors still fighting for compensation? Probably because highly connected corporations with deep pockets that have the ability to buy off politicians and government agencies never stepped up to address the human suffer that their 'accident' caused. Bhopal survivors have every right to keep fighting on.

If the CEO's son drives his BMW into a wall, it's a tragedy. If his corporation poisons a few thousand Indians, it's a statistic.

sorry can't help you with those two hospitals.

Had mine done a year ago Total cost 183,000 baht

Spent 4 days in private room that is one extra.

Was given a pill to take every day for two weeks. I did not as I thought it was just a pain pill. Wrong it had some thing in it to fight infection and help the bone muscle and metal come together. I was told it takes three months to get as good as it is going to get. So even though I felt fine walking at day 13 when he pulled the stitches he said about 400 meters was enough. Mind you I felt good like I could go a lot farther which I occasionally did but it really wasn't helping things.

The Doctor did not know the cost up front. He guessed at 200,000 baht as the hip it self was 60,000 baht. I asked about the Ram and he said yes he could do it there he guessed about 350,000 baht and for Saun Dok about half way between the other two. He had been recommended to me by Dr. Suthee as the best Arthroscopic surgeon in Thailand. At the time I was considering arthroscopic surgery for my knee. But the pain did not disappear but became just a minor nuisance when I started taking MSM. The hip then became the major problem.

Dr Chanakarn Phornphutkul (sports medicine)

Rajavej Hospital, 053 801999 and 053 204545

(Orthodpedic clinic opposite the hospital on the other side of the river)

Does the doctor do knees also? And where did you have your surgery done?

If Phayut's government needs root out corruption, here's a great place to focus.

@ Post #48

RE: Witnesses: One older Black Lady in second story flat overlooking the crime scene... She saw the shooting as it happened... at least most of it ...

She remarked to her husband as she was looking out the window ... probably drawn there by the gunshot(s) that happened in the car...

To Paraphrase -- "Why doesn't that boy stop....why is he not stopping... why is he keeping on going at that cop.... " And she said she cried

You can look it up - it is not an exact quote - but she said basically what I wrote...

I got the transcripts, over 20 volumes. I'll see what I can find.

Surprise, surprise.

It happened in the car and there is plenty of physical evidence and eyewitnesses.

Correct!

And there are eyewitnesses, who confirm, that his hands were up and he was not "charging" at Willson, as he was gunned down.

But I get it: eyewitnesses, who support "your side": credible, law abiding citizens!

Eyewitnesses, who support the latter part: thugs, criminals, low lives and not credible at all!

The people who claimed Brown had his hands up were discredited. They were found to be less than truthful in their statements. It is hard to imagine why you can't seem to process this information. The forensic evidence determined the claim that Brown's hands were up, to be false.

a) how can a forensic expert say, if a person had his arms raised or not? Seriously: how?

b ) there is a video of 3 persons (2 visible, 1 audible), who were filmed without their knowing. I will post it here, as soon as I find it.

If I remember correctly, you can hear them say "His arms were up!" How can you "discredit" that? Did someone find out, they were blind?

If he had his hands up, the bullets would have struck the underside of his arms. If his hands are down, outstretched, or 'pumping' (like a runner) the majority of the upper side of the arm will be exposed. My guess is that bullets entered the upper side of his arms, probably his right arm, because a shooter who has adrenaline pumping and who 'pulls' the trigger instead of squeezing it will pull the gun barrel to the shooter's left hitting the target on the right. I'm just guessing here, but I do have the Grand Jury transcripts. If I get really motivated I'll check out to see the results of the forensic investigation of where bullets hit Brown.

Meters should be calibrated to measure time and distance. So if Thailand's taxi meters are only measuring distance, I've got to agree with the cabbie's concerns. But their gripe should be lodged with the government agency that regulated taxis. If the metering scheme is unfair, lobby the government to change it. Don't get all bent out of shape at the customers.

Knock-out gorgeous.

The cost of the feed stock may have reduced, but the cost of refining hasn't decreased, the crude price is only a small component of the overall cost of the refined product, if crude price drops 20% this doesn't translate into a 20% reduction at the pumps, further most petroleum products are bought on a forward contract type basis at a negotiated price, therefore over the short term decreases in crude price will not have real affect on the pump price, until the new contracts are negotiated

BTW the "oil price" is not set by the Thai government

If the crude is bought on forward contracts (futures), and that is a reason why oil prices don't move down in response to lower crude prices, then why do prices at the pump tend to quickly move in lockstep with rising crude prices?

If he gets a full pension, no harm done. He would not need to work again unless he wants to. That would be fair as the incident was not his fault.

I wonder why the "article" said Mr Wilson, who is white, said he had acted in accordance with the law?

This AFTER a grand jury did not find any reason to indict him including the lowest possible charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Trust me on this: The media will be allowed their feeding frenzy when this goes to civil court, and this will go to civil court.

Trying to push this case as "another white cop kills innocent black youth" will never work. There is way too much evidence that Michael Brown went out looking for trouble.

If you want to see racism at work in the justice system, you need to look at something like the Trayvon Martin case.

The quickest and easiest way of removing inequality in the justice system in the U.S. would be to get rid of juries.

The quickest and easiest way of removing inequality in the justice system in the U.S. would be to get rid of juries.

And what? Replace the juries with a military tribunal followed by immediate summary execution? I know that the US is starting to look like a tyrannical police state, but it's not quite Nazi Germany yet. I hold out just a little hope for the future.

In July of this year WTI peaked at over $106 / barrel to just over $66 / barrel this Friday (I'm just using WTI as a benchmark. The slide in crude prices are compatible across the globe). Gas in Thailand is going down a massive 60 satang.

What do you make of it? I'd say incredible windfall profits for the local distributors of refined oil products. But (correct me if I'm wrong) the oil price is set by the government. So what gives?

I'm glad someone posted about this. I have some questions too.

I will be doing my first extension in a month or so for non-o based on marriage at Bkk Changwatana. Do we need to bring a witness 1 or 2 or none?

Also we rent a apartment, do I have to register my our address? If so how? Or is my rent contract and rent recite good enough? Also there was something else mentioned about landlords house registration???

And do I need 2 copies of everything even tm-7

Also my kor-2 will be about 7 months old when I apply for extension. Do I need a updated one from amphor?

In my case, the village leader signed a document at our government Amphur offices stating I lived in the village. If you live in a village (as opposed to in the city), a signed document witnessed by a government official at the Amphur may suffice. If you live in the city, I have no idea.

Here you goes falangs, the experts of anything and everything are showing their expertize. Just please shut up, you have no understanding or whatever of south Thailand history and conflict. Better go read instead of vomiting insanities here full of pure imported ignorance.

Pelchou, about your premise that farangs don't understand Thai history? Many don't. Many don't care. However, many of us who have settled here, have families, and support the Thai economy - well, we do know. We make it our business to understand Thai current events and Thai history. How's your 'world-view' there Pelchou? Do you understand what is happening outside the borders of prateet Thai chai mai? Middle-East? North Africa? Israel/Palestine? The Balkans? Southern Philippines? EU-British tensions on immigration policy? EU-Russia-US tensions over Ukraine?

Now Pelchou: go look up the definition of xenophobia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia (Also, the 'L' you put in falang really translates to an 'R' because it's Rɔɔ Rʉa and not Lɔɔ Ling. Just a 'ignorant' farang's observation - you should work on your English to at least get to the proficiency of the average Chinese tourist and ASEAN community members). So before you choose to have a battle of wits, try sharpening your blade of knowledge.

Like setting IEDs and shooting school teachers? Right!

I have two Thai friends who own restaurants in the UK. The best Thai food they serve is the food they cook for themselves after the place is shut. Half the stuff they eat simply wouldn't sell if it were put on the menu..

Oh god, what are they called and are they in London?? I am dying for some authentic thai food and not all this British-fusion crap where everything is unsalted, the texture is terrible and 2 chilies means its too spicy. I swear if I can collect all the tears I shed when my green curry is served with bamboo shoots AND NO EGGPLANT I could make another lake Michigan in the sahara desert...

No, just back from the States, no comparison (and all the Thai food I ate there was cooked by Thais). Having said that, I no longer eat street food (except for khanom and a few vendors of one item - like hor muk - known to me) and I don't eat meat. Living in the South, I know where to go to get fresh high quality sea (not aquaculture) food.

I am pretty much like you - I pretty much don't eat street food in Thailand except in rare cases mostly when on long cross-country trips, although even then I tend to seek out better quality food inside shopping malls or chain restaurants to break the journey, depending on where I am. Since I live in a moo baan far away from the nearest street stalls, I might as well eat in an air-conditioned shopping mall, which is usually where I eat these days when I'm not eating at home. The quality is predictable, the food is pretty good (or at least, my palate is so used to this stuff that it passes as high quality for me) and while a dish can cost anything from I dunno, 90 to 300+ Baht, I can't get myself to go out of my way to eat at a crowded street side stall alongside a busy road, inhaling all the fumes from passing traffic and sitting in the sweltering heat just to save a few Baht when I'd rather avoid the 200m commute from the shopping mall parking lot to eat somewhere much better inside.

Besides, I've had friends who've only been to Thailand once or twice be less than inspired by street food such as Khao papraow kai, for example, which consists of extremely dry rice with a greasy, badly fried egg, and some extremely spicy chicken (or it could also be moo or pork) when I thought it was only me.

I eat at restaurants frequented by Thais, and street food most of the time. I've never have been sick by anything I've eaten from Thai restaurants or street vendors. I've gotten food poisoning twice while in Thailand eating at well-known, international food franchises. Go figure. But, after living here almost 8 years, I have specific vendors and restaurants that I go to. I've already been through the selection process of 'this restaurant sucks' and 'this restaurant is OK', and this restaurant is great'. Same goes with street vendors. I know these people and I know the quality of their food. Caveat - If I'm traveling outside of town??? Different story. I'm more conservative in my selection of food. But still, I break outside of the 'box' of my own prejudices. The only way to find out if something is great or something sucks is to try if for yourself. If it's not good: walk. If it's great: become a regular.

But, I do like people who think like you. I makes that place I go to less crowded. lol

And rice? Here in Thailand you're probably eating Mali Hom or an equivalent that is export quality. The stuff you call rice back home is probably Uncle Ben's Converted Quick-Cook rice. You like it because it's what you are use to.

I eat Thai food every day at a restaurant primarily frequented by Thais, and owned and run by a Thai family. A few days ago a women came in and started complaining that she wanted 'real Thai food'. Now she is complaining to one of the wait-staff that, I know for sure, isn't understanding anything she is saying.

Afterward, she passed my table and I told her that this restaurant is where Thais eat, it's 'real' Thai food, and foreigner are rare except in the 'high season'. Me? "This is 'real Thai food'. Her: "I want food that taste like Thai food at home". Me: "The food back home is Thai-like food that appeals to Westerns. This is 'real Thai food'.

So, imho, Thai food in Thailand is 'real Thai food'. If you don't like the taste of it, go to the tourist section of the city and pay 4x as much for the farangized food your looking for. Oh, and don't go to Lanna, or maybe even Isaan. You'll never recognize the food you're eating as 'real Thai food'.
