Here's the link to the most compelling reports of the Tsunami In Thailand, note the brief post from George early in the morning, who could believe what unfolded next.

It is interesting that the word "tsunami" is hardly mentioned though the early reports, as it was barley even a part of the lexicon prior to the disaster. They used "tidal wave" which is not actually the correct term.

There are some gems sprinkled throughout the various Forums.

http://www.thaivisa....ouve-ever-seen/

i have only watched the one regarding the purchase of the car, and while techinically it was very well done, the whole tone of the video made it seem like he was marching off to war rather than embarking on a cross country drive in a beater.

A touch OTT for my tastes.

not going to stop me from looking at at least one more though. he really is quite a talented narcissist as his pictures of himself flexing on his own website will attest.

Edit: I checked out a couple of others and they really are very well presented. Talented individuals indeed.

i cant remember my last post, not everyone takes posting seriously mate

[theblether]

Of course you can see the humour in asking for an honourable mention for your topic and then declaring you can't remember what it was???

[villagefarang]

There is nowhere to hide on TV. Simply click “find content” and all is revealed as in the example of MrReal.

It is, but for total steadfast sticking to the point, the Pannini stickers gets my vote.

i'm half way through the Do You Live In A Thai Village Full Time......some of the contributions are just superb,

Another 300 posts to go before I'm finished, it's like reading War and Peace. It makes you wonder what happened to members like MacB, where are they now? It would be good to hear from them again.

Yep, a true classic - there was a good one about Thai children going to school on elephants, but didn't last too long as too much fun was being had on that one.

The GOM is still the all time classic for me though

IIRC he came out with what may well be the best ever quote on TV, "I only wanted to rescue her".

Well you can join up the dots.

Last I remember, he was taken to the cleaners and moved onto another province.

I'd love a " Where are they now thread "..................that would be interesting

I'll add it now

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/540863-ten-things-you-will-never-hear-in-thailand/

The idea is to create a quick reference for all of us to see what the best topics are, it's impossible for anyone to keep a track on everything, and a pity to waste some gem contributions to Thaivisa.

So feel free to nominate any topic that you particularly enjoyed.........if you can't remember the exact topic name just give us a clue and someone will no doubt remember it and dig out the link.

So keep your nominations coming

@ thebletherer

You are officially OFF the Christmas card list.

Why the hell did you have to post this just when I was going head off to the scratcher?? I sat up reading, and laughing like crazy.... and nearly ended myself when I got to the Suvarnabhumi escalator thread.

Do you realise what will happen when I arrive back in LOS.... I'll be chuckling like a demented lunatic while trying to get down to the taxi rank, thinking of that thread......

That reminds me, I must go back and read some more!

And BTW, thanks to all of the posters who were responsible for these threads. You obviously have far too much time on your hands!!!
