A lot of the poor buggers never will get that 300 Baht a day then !

My Father, who spent almost his entire adult life in the Military would not let my Mother use Talcum Powder on any member of the family as he said they were taught way back in the late 30's that it was poison and blocks skin pores. Never used it and didn't allow my family to either but TIT and Wifey uses the ruddy stuff every day when exiting the shower. Nothing I say or do can change this as one word from me and she does exactly what she wants to do anyway !

Stoneyboy the other eight are,
Not smoke
Not drink
Never worked in a bar
Never had a Farang BF before
No tatoos
Speak some English but not too much
Dont need money for her family
Dont have a buffalo in her family
That cuts out about 75% of the female population of Thailand then. But wait; around 89% have a Buffalo in the family somewhere !

Plenty of land for sale out in the Boonies to the South of the City Tommo, and at reasonable prices. You need to get yourself out in the sticks and motor around to find things but stay away from all those fancy agencies and do it yourself. Your budget is a bit short by about half a million if you want to find a ready built Moobahn house even out beyond Hang Dong. Gotta be looking a 2 million plus for a decent place.

Similar experience here except we only shop Makro/Supermarket once a month. The rest comes from Markets and we eat average two lunches out a week but one will normally be Noodle Bar or the like. There is no substitute for home cooking and that's our preferred way.

I would point out, at 20 years old, you are not allowed to purchase a handgun under United States Federal law. You have to be 21 years old to purchase a handgun.
CNN has just reported that the two hand guns and the semi automatic rifle were all owned by the mother of the killer
Just wondering how much Books can influence these horrible school shootings to happen? .... Jodi Picoult wrote a book called "Nineteen Minutes" in 2007 and which is the tale of a teenager kid who goes on a shooting rampage in his school and all the details and background of this kid ( including that the guns he used were owned by his father in this case ) match so closely to this shooting and the previous one a year or so ago.... I wonder ?? To what extent is there a Copy Cat effect??
I see where your coming from but this bloke was a mental case and it's unlikely he read anything other than comic books. This and other similar incidents are now becoming a lot more frequent and it's a sign of a sick world society. We like to think this sort of thing only ever happens to other people and members of our own family's would never be involved with such atrocities, but how do we really know? A lot has changed since WW2 in peoples thinking, and personal discipline's have broken down, hence, we have become too liberalised both in our own behaviour and the way we bring up our offspring. Lack of discipline in our lives as Human Beings returns us to being a more primitive animal....and the results are now out there for everyone to see.

Amazing isn't it that they call such things 'normal' and 'human behaviour' when we would call it 'threatening behaviour' and 'assault'.
Can't get yourself too involved with it and your friend needs to seek help from the powers that be.

LMAO. certainly didnt spot the mk2 at first sight, but now you mention it, LOL.
Oddly they have been made that one for years, the older ones from the mid 90's.well in UK in 1993, were all wood and leather inside ....... the photo is a 2013 model Viewt and colour is Cherry Green, the inside looks as they have come from the Nissan March...
Want a funny pickup from 1994 ?
Not sure if you're referring to the Jaguar UK years of build but the Mk2 was built from 1959 until 1967. Presume you are talking about the Hybrids in the 80's/90's?
-
Ah; Mk2 Jag, the classic Bank Robbers getaway car of the 60's/70s. Easy to nick as any worn 'FP' ignition key would open the door and get you started. Don't think the blaggers would have been too happy with a 1.2 engine though, they wouldn't even have a outrun a Copper's noddy bike !

The Factory outlets in Lamphun are good and will deliver free to most area's of Chiang Mai.

Getting true facts here is nigh to impossible, the Public Health dept say
the restaurant was selling contaminated fish ,in an other report I read,
Restaurant clean nothing found, then another report Streptococcus,
found but not the same strain that allegedly killed the student,then it
was the students fault as she must have already been ill,as her friends
where only a little ill.
Confused ,I think we are meant to be, the most important fact is missing
name of restaurant.its exactly the same when bacteria was found in 3
brands of toothpaste,which brands the public was never told !!!
So Thailand is definitely not a nanny state ,you have to be responsible
for your own life.

Like the Mrs is always saying...'You have to take care yourself in Thailan, nobody cares you' .

Poor mans Morgan. A real poser would have the real thing !

Where possible take Nakorn Chai Air (NCA) buses, they have 2 drivers on board and thery change regularly.
NCA is very safety conscious and very service conscious.
I've also heard they have a 'secret shopper' crew who takes buses regularly to check the service and safety levels.
Well said; they are the only Bus company I will travel with. If they don't go there....nor do I !

I guess we are tighter minded up here in Chiang Mai. I hand over exactly 1,900 Baht because that's the fee.

Drink at home with friends, cheaper all round.

They build awesome footpaths.
And fill them up with Telephone boxes, Electricity poles, Trees, Junction boxes, Traffic lights....indeed anything but people !

Kick off is at 8:30 pm in Bangkok as it kicks off at 13:30 in Manchester. But yeah get to the pub at 8
Correct. Wondered when someone would note that we are now 7 hours ahead and the game is on locally at 8.30pm.

All around the Hang Dong area they started burning the stubble as soon as they had cut the rice a week or so ago. Most of the smoke is moving toward the mountains and away from the villages and this morning on my bike ride I observed 8 paddy's burning. They do what their families have been doing for hundreds of years before them and no Politician on billboards will convince them to do otherwise. I pass the Yingluck poster every day in one village and right next door there is a family that burns their rubbish in the garden every evening, the smoke billowing all over Yinglucks poster !

18c in Hang Dong at 7am this morning. That's the coolest I've recorded since January.

I put a lot of the problems down to piss poor management, starting at the highest level in the company and on down to local store management. Empty shelves in a lot of Supermarkets, staff wandering around aimlessly, no Bakers working during the night to make sure shelves are full in the mornings, indeed, no shelf stackers working during the night in any part of the store either so if you go in early there are many things you can't buy. Don't need a lot of people working till's if there are a lot of empty shelves ! Enquiries to staff are met with a lack of interest and if you ask for a manager they tell you that they won't be in until 'later'.

It happens more in Thailand then anywhere else because some guys are just not responsible enough. They cannot face the facts and reality after having blown all their money to bits. They cannot cope with the shame so they jump! Most of these reported farang deaths involve alcohol, drugs, or the other sin.... What was it again?
Aaaah Hookers.
Life in paradise is tough.
'Cannot cope with the shame'? Have they caught some terrible bug from the Thai's called 'Face'.
NB...Life in Paradise is as good or as tough as you make it....it's all down to the individual.

i think 1600 baht for a great xmas buffet is nothing it is only once a year right!!!
I wondered how long it would be before the rest of us became Cheap Charlie's !

No complaints here. Started with the usual problems of MSG, too much oil, sugar etc but after explanation and showing various articles on eating healthily all that has gone and she's become a healthy eating freak. First Non-stick pan I bought got completely destroyed by metal utensils so after buying several new frying pans and saucepans I also bought a range of wooden and plastic utensils and explained why I had thrown the metal ones in the recycle bin. When you first move them in it's like starting with a kids education all over !

The High So's will be along shortly to tell you that you are up for Cheap Charlie of the year and that you shouldn't be living in Thailand if your not bringing in at least Half a million Baht a month to live on. It's ok because we don't take any notice of them either !
