Does Thaivisa Have A New Bar?

[IanForbes]

I see thaivisa is advertising a new bar for tools. Judging by some comments here I believe they will do a land office business.

alai wah?

[mcgriffith]

Ian, that's a toolbar being offered, not a bar for tools.

(BTW, some of us understand North American vernacular/slang).

And it's been advertised for eons. You just noticed it.

Ian doesnt miss much, does he?

He was only hoping for a place that served screwdrivers.

Great reply, Phil.

I always wondered why the Thais call their bars ... Bar beers instead of Beer bars.

I noticed the Thaivisa ad before, but the internet here in my hotel was on the fritz for a couple of weeks. It's an on again off again thing and frustrates me no end when it times out and I lose whatever I've typed.

Or perhaps Nuts................and bolts!

Or even a Bar for Fools................should be good for business

I thought you liked beer..c'mon phil

speaking of tools..few farang in LOS will require an upright drill press to "router"

If TV has anything new in the Chiang Mai region, it will not be a bar ......but a restaurant, or a pizza place or a burger joint.

What else would there be to talk about, just to keep the masses busy ?

I assumed it is because in the Thai language, the adjective follows the noun, but am not sure. Ex - what you would call a "red car", would be "car red" in Thai. I think this is correct.

Reminds me a bit of the Two Ronnies sketch where Ronnie Barker walks in the the hardware shop and asks for a ''ooose''.

Thanks for turning a Yank onto these guys ! I just youtubed the 'hardware' sketch. Likely the best bit of info I'll glean from TV today.

this one? classic

[IanForbes]

Thanks for that one, Donnyboy. I had to watch it twice.

I can somehow relate. I was on ferry ride over to Koh Samui one time and was sitting beside 3 blokes who were having an animated conversation. I understood about every fifth word they were saying and couldn't quite place what country where they might be from. I asked them later, in my Canadian accent, and they said they were from London, England.
