    My THX went into trash with few months.

    There's some super heavy wooden planks - I think 18K/meter. That would be perfect to build a speaker enclosure/boxes. Very challenging but I can assure you it is very cool and nobody can afford real ones

    I could manage THX (well Dah 6.2) incl. amps and even filters for tweeters and woofers over there back when Panasonic made first 5.1 DVD player (from Japan). Now it looks silly but back then I was so excited! PS: as well as my neighbors. Not!

    that's a brilliant point! Indeed cannot

    Hmmmm... how about some dril? But start with Bang Mo good idea! I've been there almost every week long time ago. Lovely place.

    I thought you know about China Town and Speaker area there?

    Once I was at Jewelry Trading Center when Imm. Police had a raid for "illegals". What amazes me how did those "traders" act toward officers. They treated them like "hey-boys" like tuk-tuks or similar Meantime at tourist places [Phangan within] foreigners scare sh*tless of anybody in uniform. PS: my personal observation, might be wrong

    Sorry I missed your question. Translation and "notarization" was about 3K (17 years ago) But Thailand didn't ratified some weird Int. Agreement and SunBelt Asia's paper would bare no weight outside of TH That's why I was advised to use MOFA too

    TH makes people very lazy, they loose that "stamina" and "drive" This is "sabai-sabai" country. I knew one man who was so happy to finally move from TH with his family to CA just to work as Pizza delivery courier. Here he had an agency, house and big black sedan

    Rather "uber-smart" and tricky. According to my experience they always have a bunch of cards up their sleeve. We just don't exactly what was his game, but I'm sure there's something lurking in the shadows.

    Not that muchof entertainment: 2 auzzies. What's real an eye candy is watching 2 drunk brits fighting each other. So that 25 years ago at Khao San and recently at Soi Cowboi. They went "Full Monty"!

    everybody run for Raytheon! It is hot and only getting hotter. PS: Sayonara

    There is brit Bill around Ratchada area begging for change to buy food (and I guess booze). Active in evening around Soi 4 - bars and discos. I saw him from the distance - he looks like an average farang teacher, but seems that something is wrong with him. I think people who can't fix themselves in TH should find their way back home asap. This country is not very cozy for bums.
  14. NativeBob
    Yes, sure-sure. Gave his wallet to the stranger
  15. NativeBob
    Yes, I know. 30.000 limit on ATM else - harsh fines.
  16. NativeBob
    Exactly. Why some foreigners are going belly-up and admit wrong-doings almost instantly?
  17. NativeBob
    HSBC since their branch was on Silom
  18. NativeBob
    no, my son was born in Thailand and he's not thai. I never did visa thingy and 90 days until 16.
  19. NativeBob
    IO female told my son he would be thrown into jail if he won't get Thai visa at 14. Turns out she had no clue No need to do 90 days until valid visa and 16 (18?) years old

    Tokyu Ratchada Towers were haunted for more than a decade. People saw ghosts there, some unlucky ones jumped. Even now it is almost empty
  21. NativeBob
    Nope. You'll end up in monkey house for working illegally. In fact you are not allowed to fry eggs for anybody except yourself
  22. NativeBob
    Banda-Ache (is it correct?) story? Yes I also remember, there were some grim stories about temp. permits.
  23. NativeBob
    Even more serious than checking your messages on the computer at travel/real-estate agency office!
  24. NativeBob
    You noticed too? A Lt. General comes to watch a bunch of Russians playing with wires. Seems that Phangan is some sort of golden goose - wherever you turn up there's "crime" and money
  25. NativeBob
    Quite a few. Too many stories about guy deported from TH for painting his fence, instead of hired khun Thai. 😁
