The only members I did ever physically meet were the Stickman and Khunsanuk. Although there were quite a few during a dinner at the place in Soi 5 and the serverparty, can´t remember who was present. The reason why these old style forums were a real treasure is that nowadays on Facebook etc anybody can post any shite he thinks is important, there is no resposibility like on a somewhat closed community. Therefore I am grateful to have been able to participate, just thinking how much time I spent here.

Fuck me, a result after Nine years, and I thought my two year battle with my ex was long winded Top Result well done👍

A happy ending to this theft. My lawyer found this individual and notified his boss of this transgression. Following this he refunded me in full plus interest.

Or you could be this guy

as an aside... Rock the Boat: The Story of Radio Hauraki 1965-1970 https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/rock-the-boat-radio-hauraki-1996 They got a small ship and spent their time slinking about, between the islands off Auckland, to give us, music unapproved by nanny state...

According to the Secretariat of the Prime Minister's letter to the Transport Ministry and relevant agencies, the communication followed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin's suggestion during the Cabinet meeting on April 2. The suggestion aims to ensure efficiency in the port development, which is under the Port Authority of Thailand's supervision, the letter said, adding that it is also in line with the national agenda on dealing with air pollution The Transport Ministry and relevant agencies have been ordered to: • Accelerate the study on the feasibility of moving Bangkok Port, also known as Khlong Toei Port, away from the capital, covering the relocation of nearby oil silos. • Prepare a plan to develop the Bangkok Port area to tackle issues such as the slum community, traffic jams and air pollution. The development should be clear, appropriate and complete as soon as possible based on benefits of Bangkokians," the letter said, adding that relevant agencies must submit progress to the prime minister. Source Call me a cynic, but when the Prime Minister of Thailand owns one of the major property development companies in Thailand , Sansiri orders the freeing up of prime river side land for development, I smell major corruption, Chewit was right about this snake

A few days back Old Hippie was talking about KSR crusties and his dislike for such, and I posted a link to an old thread of a mate of mines “KSR World Records” Now it just so happens that Rick was also responsible for the Classic “Man in Greenland” This is my copy from the original forum he posted it on The actual events took place in Pattaya in 1999, if you story is a funny read, then try being one of the guys who was sat with him when this shit went down, Rick was a classic piss taker but this one took the biscuit and how I kept a straight face is beyond me to this very day. Hi All, I was vaguely following the post on ?The Worst Ambassadors?, which are the worst nationalities in LOS and so on. I have a solution to this , and am looking for for new recruits to my team. While on Pattaya I decided to avoid the bargirl prejudices on certain nationalities, eg ` Man from Germany, he broke my heart, I no like man Germany any more`, or ? Man Italy he boom boom too long, I no like man Italy? etc . I achieved this by declaring myself as the `Man from Greenland `. `Hello where you from ? ` `I am from Greenland` `Oh, Greenland man very goo... Greenland !! . Where Greenland, I no hear before ` Bingo. Now instead of reurgitating their own experiences with men of different nationalities they had experienced, I was instead asked where the hell Greenland was, and pretty soon I was drawing a map of Greenland for several bargirls showing them this new exciting country. By the time I had left, I had sold Greenland as a new home of exciting falangs who treat their women with the utmost respect and have good hearts. What I am looking for now is more sanukers who want to abandon their nationalities for a night or two, and adopt Greenland as their new country of origin. Together, let?s create a strong brand name, Greenland, as a place where nice men roam. A place that bargirls can hold close to their hearts as a nationality of good quality sanukers. I have already laid the groundwork in Cat?s a gogo and Classroom a gogo in Pattaya, , let?s have more honourary Greenlanders who behave themselves well, and pretty soon the brand name can be adopted by anyone , as a guarantee to a bargirl the the ? Man from Greenland, he good heart ?. RIC A few awkward questions that a man from Greenland may have to face: Question : `Why no man Greenland come Thailand before ? ` Appropriate lie : `Only this year can man Greenland leave country , same same man Lao and Cambodia. ` Question : `Why you speak good English ? ` Apropriate lie : `Greenland very close to Amerigah , Canadah, Engerland etc .If she detects your accent, simply say you studied at university in the country you are actually from. Question ;: `What job you do Greenland ? ` Appropriate lie : `I am fisherman ` Question : `Why you no buy cola for me ? ` Appropriate lie : `There is not much fucking money to be made catching sodding fish now is there. ` WRONG !!!!! Man Greenland good heart,remember that . Buy the lady a drink.

Remarkable to see so many names from the old days. Never met up with the board members - at least not knowingly - but retain fond memories of the peak board days. The sheer profundity! And those were good days in LOS, though of course we bitched about whatever the complaint of the day was, end of the world nigh - in retrospect I'd love those days back, 98 to around 05, good times. Been moving around alot but for the first time in well over a decade I'm back in (northeast) Asia. Hope to make regular LOS trips, though the magic is not what it was (nor am I what i was) these days - still work reconnecting my batteries to the Thai charge for sure.

All this reminds me of a joke I heard years ago, It has been changed a bit, but here goes… God gets tired of all the violence in the Middle East, so he calls the head of the Jews and the head of the Muslims before him…he also decides to appoint one person to represent the rest of the world. He say “…what will it take to stop the fighting and have an ever lasting peace..?” The head Muslim says, “…get rid of all the Jews and we will be happy and better off!” The head Jew says to god “…get rid of all the Muslims/Arabs and we will be happy!” God looks at the Appointed representative for everyone else and says “…what do you thin,,?” The Appojnted rep says “I think you should give these 2 what they want and then the rest of the world can be happy…” It was originally a joke regarding Northern Ireland, but it still works. Heard it from a Catholic priest, he told it in church during a sermon…I had to leave the church I was laughing so hard…

Agree 100% Just another way to to widen the gap between the have and the have not. Only people who benefit are those who make a $ out of the entire concept. Really lost faith in humanity 😔

Now we're getting somewhere. Sure Thais are fed up with misbehaving foreigners but on the other hand foreigners are also getting fed up with Thais and their continued scamming or down right extortion when it comes to the MIB

There is the other side of the story coming out such as hy does the video only playing from a few moments in, what happened before. Allegedly, this is hearsay so don’t quote me on this, the cop pulled them over and demanded a cash fine (does happen A LOT) Brothers refuse, Cop pulls the gun on the Brothers waving it about screaming at them, one of Brothers uses his MMA experience to disarm the cop, they empty the gun and chamber of bullets and offer the gun back to cop. They are still dickheads mind, but I’ll be interesting to see if/when full video is released.

Ditto, and the rest of us when Putin/Xi/some other Tyrant, try to take advantage of the distraction, this kicking off in the Middle East is.

I've always though that letting the Middle East own the oil, was a big mistake

Not so much one’s age that bothers these days,it's the departure of many mates whom have shared the LOS experience with us.Bugger!

Hugh Hoy, Get in touch sometime. Why don't you write a short travel report? A few pictures, a few short explanations, that would be nice.

I too am in my 8th decade of life. I want to come again - despite significant problems with my high blood pressure and problems with the cardiovascular system. From about mid-November 2022 to the end of March 2023; about 130 days. I can also die in Thailand; that might be better than in cold, dark wintry Germany. My body will be cremated, the ashes will go into an urn and my family can collect the urn and then a burial can take place at a cemetery here in Hamburg. 55555 I plan to spend the first few days after my arrival in Jomtiem in Soi Welcome with two of my Thai friends.

I'm getting damned close to that myself, though I'm thinking of demanding a recount. The nice thing is not having to work for a living anymore . Social Security and Veterans Disability payments provide me with more each month than I often made when I was a university lecturer!
