  1. it's pretty hard even for Thais to find good help. My Thai cousin has had a couple of maids and nannies up and leave with no notice, a driver who simply decided not to turn up anymore, leaving his kids in the lurch.

    Best bet is to ask around other expats who are leaving town and can recommend anyone with a good track record.

    You are correct but the price will be expensive, if they speak English then add more, it they know how to prepare ahan farang then add more extra Baht, etc., etc.

    I have said it before and I'll say it again, go as long and far as you can without hiring a maid or a driver.

  2. Bar girls rock they are the best hookers on the planet if you idoits fall in love with hookers serves you right you old stupid pot bellied fools your ugly balding social lepers back home so shut the f..k up about bar girls they are your saving grace to getting your end away with a young women.

    You make me laugh. Pattaya is full of folk in a hansom man dream world. You have money they have pussy. No genuine love is present. this mostly is the case for young hansom guys like me too.

    Rock on the old farts of Pattaya. Keep it real grandad

    It sounds like a BG broke his heart.

    Mercy your sure talk ugly, would you kiss your mother with that nasty mouth(if you knew who she was)?

  3. As we know, we see discrimination in some form or another almost everyday and often times it leaves a sour taste in our mouths. The following story shows us the side of diversity that we are all working for. It is a pleasant twist to see that there are companies and individuals who face discrimination head on, if only one small step at a time. Enjoy reading the positive side of diversity. We must applaud British Airways for their action in this situation.

    On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting next to a black man. She calls the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating. "What seems to be the problem Madam?" asks the attendant. "Can't you see?" she says. "You've sat me next to a kaffir. I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human. Find me another seat!" "Please calm down Madam." the stewardess replies. "The flight is very full today, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class."

    The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man beside her

    (not to mention many of the surrounding passengers). A few minutes later the stewardess returns with the good news, which she delivers to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self satisfied grin. "Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I've spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class."

    Before the lady has a chance to answer, the stewardess continues.........

    "It is most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, given the circumstances, the captain felt that it is outrageous that someone be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious person." With that, she turns to the black man sitting next to the woman, and says..."So if you'd like to get your things, Sir, I have your seat ready for you..."

    At which point, apparently the surrounding passengers stood and gave a standing ovation while the black guy walked up to the front of the plane.

    People will forget what you said .... People will forget what you did ..... But people will never forget how you made them feel.

  4. On the last day of his trip, the priest hooked a monster fish and proceeded to reel it in.

    The guide, holding a net, yelled, "look at the size of that Son of a Bitch!"

    "Son, I'm a priest. Your language is uncalled for!"

    "No, Father, that's what kind of fish it is--a Son of a Bitch fish!"

    "Really? Well then, help me land this Son of a Bitch!"

    Once in the boat, they marveled at the size of the monster.

    "Father, that's the biggest Son of a Bitch I've ever seen."

    "Yes, it is a big Son of a Bitch. What should I do with it?"

    "Why, eat it of course. You've never tasted anything as good as a Son of a Bitch!"

    Elated, the priest headed home to the rectory.

    While unloading his gear and his prize catch, Sister Mary inquired about his trip.

    "Take a look at this big Son of a Bitch I caught!"

    Sister Mary gasped and clutched her rosary, "Father!"

    "It's OK, Siste r. That's what kind of fish it is--a Son of a Bitch fish!"

    "Oh, well then, what are you going to do with that big Son of a Bitch?"

    "Why, eat it of course. The guide said nothing compares to the taste of a Son of a Bitch."

    Sister Mary informed the priest that the new Bishop was scheduled to visit in a few days and that they should fix the Son of a Bitch for his dinner.

    "I'll even clean the Son of a Bitch", she said.

    As she was cleaning the huge fish, the Friar walked in. "What are you doing Sister?"

    "Father wants me to clean this big Son of a Bitch for the new Bishops' dinner."

    "Sister! I'll clean it if you're so upset! Please watch your language!"

    "No, no! , no, it's called a Son of a Bitch fish".

    "Really? Well, in that case, I'll fix up a great meal to go with it,and that Son of a Bitch can be the main course!

    Let me know when you've finished cleaning that Son of a Bitch."

    On the nig ht of the new Bishop's visit, everything was perfect.

    The Friar had prepared an excellent meal. The wine was fine, and the fish

    was excellent.

    The new Bishop said, "This is great fish, where did you get it?"

    "I caught that Son of a Bitch!" proclaimed the proud priest.

    The Bishop's eyes opened wide, but he said nothing.

    "And I cleaned the Son of a Bitch!" exclaimed the Sister.

    The Bishop sat silent in disbelief.

    The Friar added, "And I prepared the Son of a Bitch, using a special recipe!"

    The new Bishop looked around at each of them.

    Slowly a big smile crept across his face as he said,

    "You mother ######ers are my kind of people."

    Then...they tell you that when you die it all gets better!

    I mean, really, is there a mystery here?

  6. Yes, one can hire cheap but in the bargain you will be hiring two new family members you will be responsible for, I got rid of both a few years back and am happier now, I have raised my children already and don't want to have a rerun of having children around. Cynical, not at all, I have been in the LOS for many years and enjoy it immensley, if I didn't I would leave of course.

    Good luck on finding a reliable maid and driver.

  7. A PILOT EDITORIAL-- "YOU WORRY ME."

    ************************************************************************

    I've been trying to say this since 9-11.

    I guess I will be labeled as a bigoted American.

    By: American Airlines Pilot - Captain John Maniscalco

    ************************************************************************

    "You worry me. I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the

    streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still

    blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But

    you don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me. I notice you

    because I can't help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to

    be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our

    friends for more than 20 years now. I don't fully understand their

    grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of

    their attacks.

    On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my

    country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally

    stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them

    into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise

    grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless

    public servants, and children's mothers.

    So I notice you now. I don't want to be worried. I don't want to

    be

    consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed the

    soul

    of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational American, trying

    to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must

    know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.

    How do I differentiate between the true Arab-Muslim-Americans and

    the

    Arab-Muslims in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our

    parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR

    constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter those

    very

    same good neighbors and children?

    The events of September 11th changed the answer. It is not my

    responsibility

    to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of it's

    religions, with ALL of it's different citizens, with all of it's faults.

    It

    is time for every Arab-Muslim in this country to determine it for me.

    I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a right to know

    whether

    or not you love America. Do you pledge allegiance to it's flag? Do you

    proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in

    your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation? That He will

    protect and prosper it?

    Or do you pray that Allah with destroy it in one of your "Jihad's"?

    Are you thankful for the freedom that only this nation affords? A freedom

    that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who

    gave

    their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by

    paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America? If this is your

    commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it.

    Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at

    this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you are

    taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United States of

    America. Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the

    innocent because I worry about who you regard as innocent. And no more

    benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I worry

    about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more

    sympathy...I am only interested in action. What will you do for America -

    our great country -- at this time of crisis, at this time of war?

    I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets.

    I

    want to hear you chanting "Allah Bless America." I want to see young

    Arab-Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of

    money, time, and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this

    nation as a whole.

    The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding

    the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize in Muslim

    communities.

    You know them. You know where they are. Hand them over to us, now!

    But I have seen little even approaching this sort of action. Instead

    I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even tighter.

    You have disappeared from the streets. You have posted armed security

    guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed

    for protection from reprisals.

    The very few Arab-Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the

    media were defensive and equivocating. They seemed more concerned with

    making sure that the United States prove who was responsible before taking

    action. They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims

    from

    violence directed towards them in the United States and abroad than they

    did

    with supporting our country and denouncing "leaders" like Khadafi, Hussein,

    Farrakhan, and Arafat. If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance

    and peace and love for all people then I want chapter and verse from the

    Koran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good

    is it if the teachings in the Koran are good and pure and true when your

    "leaders" are teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and

    intolerance.

    It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if large numbers of the

    world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere

    to a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been demonstrated

    to us over and over again. A form whose structure is built upon a

    foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose members are

    recruited from the prisons around the world. A form whose members defended

    Johnny Cochran and O. J. Simpson after the latter butchered his wife and

    murdered an innocent friend. A form whose members (some as young as five

    years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year,

    marching in the streets around the world, burning effigies of our

    presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air. A

    form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms

    against the great United States of America, the country of their birth. A

    form whose rules are so twisted, that their

    traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security

    checkpoints, in the name of Islam.

    Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because our women proudly

    show

    their faces in public rather than cover up like a shameful whore?

    Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because we drink wine with

    dinner, or celebrate Christmas? Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us

    because we have befriended Israel, the ONLY civilized democratic nation in

    the entire middle-east? And if you and your fellow Muslims hate us, then

    why in the world are you even here?

    Are you here to take our money? Are you here to undermine our peace

    and stability? Are you here to destroy us? If so, I want you to leave. I

    want you to go back to your desert sandpit where women are treated like

    rats

    and dogs. I want you to take your religion, your friends, and your family

    back to your Islamic extremists, and STAY THERE!

    We will NEVER give in to your influence, your retarded mentality,

    your twisted, violent, intolerant religion. We will NEVER allow the

    attacks

    of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is

    so precious to us: Our rights under the greatest constitution in the

    world.

    I want to know where every Arab-Muslim in this country stands and I

    think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to

    demand it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and

    sisters who died protecting the very constitution that is protecting you

    and

    your family. I am pleading with you to let me know. I want you here as my

    brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American. But there can be no

    gray areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance and it is up to YOU, to

    show ME, where YOU stand."

    "Until then ... you worry me." ""

  8. Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't have a lot of money

    between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of 50 pence.

    Murphy said, "Hang on, I have an idea." He went next door to the

    butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage. Shamus said,

    "Are you crazy? Now we don't have any money left at all." Murphy

    replied,

    "Don't worry -- just follow me."

    He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness

    and two glasses of Jamieson whisky.

    Shamus said, "Now you've lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will

    be in? We haven't got any money!" Murphy replied with a smile, "Don't

    worry, I have a plan. Cheers!"

    They downed their drinks. Murphy said, "OK, I'll stick the sausage

    through my zipper and you go

    on your knees and put it in your mouth."

    The barman noticed them, went berserk and threw them out. They

    continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk all for

    free.

    At the tenth pub, Shamus said, "Murphy, I don't think I can do any more

    o'this. Me knees are killin' me!"

    Murphy said, "How do you think I feel? I lost the sausage in the third

    pub."

  9. A Cajun was stopped by a game warden in Southern Louisiana recently with two ice chests of fish, leaving a bayou well known for its fishing.

    The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

    "Nah, ma fren', I ain't got none of dem, no. Dese here, dey my pet fish."

    "Pet fish?"

    "Ya. Avery night I take dese here fish down to de bayou and let dem swim 'roun' for a while. Den I whistle and dey jump rat back inta dis here ice chest and I take dem home."

    "That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

    The Cajun looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's de truth ma' fren'. I ain't lyin'. I'll show you. It really works."

    "Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

    The Cajun poured the fish into the bayou and stood and waited.

    After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

    "Well, what?" said the Cajun.

    "When are you going to call them back?"

    "Call who back?"

    "The FISH, stupid!"

    "What fish you talkin' 'bout?"

  10. I think your are correct and I agree, I also have more interest in a fitted out home albeit a new home is nice but me thinks building/buying a new home is too much effort and aggrivation here in the LOS to build/buy and rig out. I was told by a friend of mine that the house he has been renting for the past six years has been on the market for sale since before he rented the house. He was told by his landlord there has been no interested partys at all, foreign or local; he said the house is first class and in a great location(Chiang Mai), owner is asking 3.3 MB fully furnished, 85 Talang Wah. I looked at it but it was just not for me, too big and not enough land, nice house though.

  11. We are considering moving to Chiang Mai soon and possibly buying/building a home there (Renting first) and would like to hear opinions on which direction from Chiang Mai is most desirable; north toward Mae Rim, Mae Cho, Doi Saket and East to Samkhampeng? I have been told that generally these areas are much more desirable than to the south in the direction of Hang dong; 15-20 klicks out of the city is ok but not interested in any area the Thais call "Preo"or "Na Klua" or just lonely and plain old scary.

  12. I was recently told by a Thai Banker aquaintance of mine that the reason Thailand has so many new housing starts is because the Thai people(in general) do not like to live in a previously owned house/condo etc., so this makes the "used" housing market a very difficult one and the new dwellings a much better performer; Anyone here heard of this? I asked a long time Thai (Thai Chinese) aquaintance about this and he indeed confirmed this to be the case. Maybe this is one reason there are so many rentals here in the LOS to be had and in many cases at a very affordable price.
