DaveYo Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 pardon me everyone, i was laughing so hard here just reading the posts put on this topic for quite some time, till Dr. PP blew the cap off. I knew this was such a joke from the beginning and was indeed so surprised to see how many responded to this topic. Ehhhhhhhhhh, that's all folks.

Richard W Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Did no one think the concept of Thais not showering was incredible? Or doesn't pouring water over oneself count as a shower? I remember General Chamlong saying that two bowls were sufficient, but I had great difficulty washing with that little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonc Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 I must admit that I am a MUPPET for starting this forum... At least give me the dignity of acting like 'Animal' so I can be girl crazy! I quickly read the post from an internet cafe in rural Philippines having no idea what day it was. Growing up in the dry desert of the States extreme measures are an annual norm and a bizarre knee-jerk reaction from the BKK authorities also seems normal, however i should have recognized the ridiculous notions about births. That should have been my clue, if I had only took the time to read it ALL. I was just happy to return home and take a long shower. Glad I could entertain everyone with my blondness.

Ricardo Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Everyone but the Poms panicked But please note that we poms DO take showers , at least once per month , even when we don't need one yet ! Still - I wonder whether I should show a bottle of imported water, at Immigration , and ask for a discount on the fee for my tourist-visa ? LOL Guys !

tutsiwarrior Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 re:...Dr PPs assertion that tutsi shits into a hole in the floor...sigh, will it never end. This is to advise this forum that tutsi's en suite facilities on the second floor of his luxurious converted shophouse are a monument to civilized defecation. Just have to check the water pressure sometimes before flushing in the middle of the day. I should continue to insult and abuse those that would allege otherwise but I shan't as bowel movements are an important part of each day's activities and any discussion thereof should be informative and respectful of individual needs and desires...

englishoak Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Excellent April fool, and loads of entertaining replies. Just got back from Issan and Central Thailand and pretty much all rivers are dry and forget about waterfalls. The headline Water shortage did not surprise me but the bit about no showers ??? ok april fool. I believe the Thai's would fork out a lot of money for the pleasure of taking a shower, but stop ??? Naaaaa....... Watch the coming years though a it's going to get dryer I bet, then who knows ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
et33.com Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 mmm... hopefully mother nature does not make it come true there will be serious water shortages in 20 years' time if they keep burning forest and cutting trees... but then / i may not be around anymore / and have no children / so good luck to the people of the future world if the fools continue the old ways...

Axel Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I am raging mad. Why do you let the cat out the bag so early?

SeaVisionBurma Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 but I shan't as bowel movements are an important part of each day's activities and any discussion thereof should be informative and respectful of individual needs and desires... Yes, quite right. What was that brilliant thread last year where we all got carried away with the discussion about using toilet paper vs the squirty water-jet-thingy? I recall someone gave a fantastic blow-by-blow description on exactly how to do the whole process, from the very first tummy-rumbling poo-pains, until post-fecal cigarette. These are the important things in life to discuss, I believe.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenk3z Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Please tell me all the stories about "visa runs" are just jokes too........

tutsiwarrior Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 chon...how about 'the fool on the hill'?...part of an earth-shaking effort by the beatles. kenk3z...if you got a 'non-immigrant "o" visa' then arrange your flight to return the same day from S'pore, pay your 8500 baht to Singhapore Air (plus 500 baht airport tax) get the exit stamp, get the entry and exit stamp in S'pore and return the same day with the new entry stamp at Don Muang immigration...good for three months. You can always do it the hard way and do an 8 hr bus trip to Cambodia. If you got a 30 day tourist visa then ask around. Now is a bad time to travel...overstay your visa and you must pay 100 baht per day, preferable to merging with the mob at airports and etc during this holiday...
