how ironic: send him to Russia to kill canadian mercs. ROFL

I'm sorry to interfere, but isn't this thread about Pattaya? Not Chiang Rai, Buriram and Kong Keng, but silly city of Pattaya? I personally never witnessed anything worthy about "farangs in polo shirts". Except pretty nasty stories about extortion and "brown envelopes" for "assistance". As many things in Thailand are just a bad copies so I guess this "fatso-cooperation" is pure misunderstanding of the whole (and probably noble) concept. PS: Who knows, maybe in Kong Ken they can be a marvels for local communities - Thailand is a big very diverse country after all.

be cause Thailand's tourist scene is chaotic unregulated mess of corruption and criminal activity. that is an essence of thai tourism: from snake oil "magic cures" to Walking street and damaged boats.

point well taken.

10+ years. Isn't his sentence expired?

Thai couple rented townhouse for beauty salon. it was abandoned for almost a year and became a shelter for cats. nice house and not that old, just owner was some lousy khun thai. or maybe they asked too much for rent. So the new inhabitants opened doors, cleaned some old furniture and suddenly discovered cats living there. guess what did they do? I won't believe that but the person who told that story to me is the most trustworthy lady in our mooban and I had no chance to accuse her of lying.

Sunita Williams <<< khun Thai? She looks like Nikkamundra Kelly, was it coincidence? or some sick joke?

de-worm and vaccinate your beloved one. How difficult is it? Also - there are indoor cats and outdoor cats.

rolling over phuket with a corpse to get more money from the hotel. cool way to get money!

I've paid 25K for an agent in Pattaya for years but suddenly he got brain surgery and became kinda weird. Also I knew one "religious leader" who paid 500K for an agent to get PR, traveling to CW for a few month to "talk to poo yai" and suddenly she vanished. So I made up my mind - I would never put my well being in TH in the hands of sloppy agent. No matter how attractive their offer looks.

third that love cats. always keep them

Ital-Thai? #ROFL

yes, farangs are crawling all over Rathcada just like a roaches. even at Somboon Curry Crab

Munich is going to repeat again? People doesn't learn anything from recent history. At all.

thank you. very clear and informative. it adds-up to previous comments and makes a better picture.

any hospital in BKK is better than Bangkok Hospital or Bumrungrad - overpriced and very low quality services. Well not exactly "low", rather price doesn't match quality of service. SiPH is not the right choice - you'll pay premium money for actual semi-public hospital services. Yet original Siriraj is very nice place and some doctors speak good English. Prepare for hours and hours of waiting. My friends (Thai) favorite is Bangkok Nursing Hospital <<< I have no idea why My favorite is Paolo at Saphan Kwai - Ari area

and clash Thailand with MY in annexed 3 provinces on the South of TH. Brilliant idea!

Nope. His mother called me from abroad begging to bring some stuff to him. So I had to travel from Bangkok and that was not pleasant trip. Why a**hole? Attitude issue. nuff said.

the Pang Gan is subject of Surat Thani province with its very own prison, also known as "White Tiger" - it is solid concrete fortress that hot like hell during daytime and very uncomfortable during night time. I visited some sad a**hole there - he said impossible to live there.

yes, there are plenty of those in Huay Kwang area. Rent around 2-3K. Horrible places but can get used to it.

Cream de la cream of expat communities in Thailand: In case you didn't get it: this is how thais feed beggars and bums. Not even a table "you can eat on the floor"

Yes, there's a in-depth study from Chula University. Available at Uni Library.

Ratchada Soi 4. Brits are instant, drunk and dancing. You might like it!

yes, I heard and witnessed that too. plenty of pimps and dealers here in Bangkok. "Defenders" of Holy Land. Nice guys to chat but very sneaky to deal with businesswise.
