    Visa Runs Over

    Wonder if this applies to anyone with a TR visa leaving and re-entering using a double entry type visa ? These type of people can`t be classed as " Visa runners " surely

    Many ( even most ? ) thai names are combinations of real words with meaning usually related to beauty ( ladies obviously ) or wealth and prosperity.Can make it confusing when reading unless you know in advance.
  3. The British played a major role in dividing up the Middle East and creating countries like Iraq and Palestine.....that seems to have worked out fairly well

    When Brummie Jack`s dog died after being his faithfull companion for 20 years,he decided to have a small gold replica of his pet made as a memorial.So he went to see his friend the goldsmith. " Sure " said his friend " I can do that for you.Would you like it eighteen carat ? "." No " replied Jack " I`d rather have it chewing on a bone ".

  6. Pineapple Broom ( Cytisus battandierii ) has a strong smell of pineapple ( hence the name ).It has yellow flowers and grows well against a south facing wall ( NW europe ) where it benefits from the exta warmth
  7. Sounds like a good cure-all and panacea,like Cream Tonaf .....I wonder if it also cures baldness
  8. Some of the agricultural workers certainly work hard for their money - sugar cane cutters for example - hot,hard and sometimes dangerous work,swinging a sharp machete all day.For a pack of 10 canes ( outer leaves stripped off and tied into a bundle ) they are paid the princely sum of .....2 baht per pack ! These guys must have the strength and endurance of olympic athletes to make a living wage
  9. Spicy toothpaste ( with chille ) and yoghurt with beans in
  10. In theory the roads upcountry should be very safe - very wide and straight ,but mix together huge wagons full of sugar cane travelling at 10 kph with pickup trucks in a hurry and small kids on scooters and you get a recipe for disaster.I got knocked of my bike by a teenage girl doing about 60 kph through a busy market area - she didn`t stop of course .Layed in the middle of the road is not a pleasant feeling , so its car travel/bus travel only for me from now on....

    Safety Of Travel

    Those ferries ( Pattaya to Ko Larn ) seem to sink every couple of years ( not the same boat obviously ) thats one of the reasons I always keep my phone in a sealed plastic bag .....
  12. Been to the one between Khon Kaen and Nonghai - Yes,gruesome is a good description-cant understand why anybody would want to go there for a day out.....maybe there isn`t much to do in that area

    Brilliant.... ........I assume the " p " should be a " b "
  15. Walking back to Pattaya Glahng from Jomtien is good exercise and is better than being crammed into a baht pickup ( sorgtaw ) I used to get the bus back from my favourite cafe until they stopped the service a couple of years ago.
  16. Don`t forget Susan Boyle...she must generate plenty revenue
  17. And the motto of this tale should be " Never marry a Thai " ( or any other nationality )...
  18. I reckon crossing the road is one of the most dangerous activities - Pattaya glahng has few places where its safe to cross and no central traffic islands where a pedestrian can take refuge from the traffic which has increased massively over the years.Second road can be very dodgy also with motorcys using it like a race track
  19. When asked the question " Was your first sexual encounter with a man or a woman ? " Vidals response was " I don`t know,I was too polite to ask " .....LOS must have been his ideal destination .
