Another day in paradise?

And another day in Pattaya.

Yes, ask at your major hospitals. If there is none on staff, they can direct you to the nearest private office.

So we're looking to the Thais for safety tips now?

Well, you got me there.

Good point!

The big XP scare was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I bought a Mac.

Are you serious??

True Visions doesn't give a damn what you think. When the girl said she would pass your complaint to the appropriate department, she meant the garbage can.

They should REALLY upgrade their programming, instead of running 40 year old movies repeatedly day after day.

Next time you're in Kasikorn Bank, take a look at their monitors and see what they're running...XP.

If they're not afraid of it, why should you be?

Microsoft is full of sh*t and always has been.

I would go for the new car.

Buying a 5 year old car in Thailand is like buying a 20 year old car anywhere else.

OK... you're right.

But is it worth all that aggravation over 20 baht?

I have been approached by phony parking attendants many times, but have found that when I comply with their petty extortion, they actually keep an eye on my car for me, and even stop traffic when i am leaving.

I realize this is not Chiang Mai related, but this forum is as close as I can get.

I am seeking an English speaking personal lawyer located in Phrae province, for general services such as drafting a Thai will, usufruct, and maybe a house sale.

Nan or Lampang would be OK too.

I see law offices around the Phrae courthouse, but was hoping somebody with some experience could give me a referral.

Thanks in advance.

If you were standing near the bee nest watering pot plants, no wonder they weren't aggressive. They're stoned!

The hottest Thai girl I've ever seen at the mall was wearing a T shirt that said "What are you waiting for?"

I nearly had a coronary.

Good looking couple.

but i guess thats the price we pay for freedom over here.

I've heard others talk about the "freedom" we have over here, but I'll be damned if I know what they're referring to.

I've never felt more restricted anywhere else in the world.

Freedom from air pollution regulations certainly isn't doing anybody any good.

Another pathetic excuse for journalism.

Why not take a picture of the guy's head on a table, with a couple of cops pointing at it?

God, I wish I hadn't read that last post.

Put your money where your mouth is, Mr. Chatri.

Dive in there and take a swim.

heheheh Always someone who complains about water usage, so much water is wasted in other ways that songran is a drop in the bucket

Please elaborate on this ridiculous statement.

I'd like to know the answer myself. I can't even lift my mattress to change the sheets, much less turn it over.

Well...let's be honest.

mr chow makes some valid points.

And naboo: your rebuttal is mostly baloney.

That said, I totally agree with Denim; it's best to just quietly walk away, and don't look back.

Good advice...stop eating.

If the General can't fix this place, I will!

I just did same, but at different office. Arrived at 10:30 am with all paperwork complete; told to go have lunch , and return at 1:00 pm and I would be served first. Returned at 1:00 pm. Sat there for an hour and a half while the officer took 2 people ahead of me. Finally called me up at 2:30 pm, took an hour to transfer the stamps. Left at 3:30 pm with my passports. Total time: 5.5 hours. The usual first class efficiency.

The OP quotes from "Thai Embassy.com" !

This is a COMMERCIAL WEB SITE which is not an "official" site associated in any way with the Thai Government. The site is well known for its many inaccurate and misleading statements.

You are right, Jim. Good catch!

Here you go.
