Hi, Just read parts of the page of that book. Is this guy for real??? "As well as having to get out of my car and ask an elephant to get out of the way on a jungle road. He did, after I gave him some bamboo." Riiiggghhttt!!!! Sanuk!

Hi, "How the f*ck did you come up with a book by 'the blether' to be displayed?" No idea. Amazon's algorithm probably figured it was relevant. No clue who 'the blether' is either. Sanuk!

Hi, Yes, been paid twice so far. Thanks for the suggestion. Sanuk!

Hi, No problem with either tattoos or piercings, although I personally don't get piercing, but as with most things moderation is the key. As bust pointed out that guy looks to have some issues. And to get back to the topic, there should have been no valid reason to deny him entry into the country as having a ton of piercings is not a crime. Sanuk!

Hi, Quick reminder and request for those using Amazon to please click the banner on this board (in the sidebar) before ordering anything from Amazon. I only need a little more commission before they send me some cash again Sanuk!

Hi, Yes, but I wonder how can really solve this. Sanuk!

Hi, Don't be fucking smart ass. Sanuk!

Hi, What part of "I will not tolerate racism on this board. Knock it off!" didn't you understand? Sanuk!

King Kung, I will not tolerate racism on this board. Knock it off! Sanuk!

Hi, Last book was book 5 of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. Reading the 6th book now. Sanuk!

Hi, "True Detective - Apparently the next season has different actors" Rather enjoyed that as well and was wondering about the next season seeing that the story pretty much ends at the end of season 1. Sanuk!

Hi, I wonder if any of the Nanapong guys are actually involved in this, or if some barowner just decided to use their name? Sanuk!

Hi, I get the impression that there are quite a few people like him who spend way too much on lottery tickets. All hoping to become rich without having to do anything. And the odds in the Thai lottery are really crap. Sanuk!

Hi, Ura Dick, knock it off. So what this is an old thread, the additional information is still valid. Sanuk!

Hi, So, basically if he had been a rice farmer, he'd been executed already or would never see the outside of a cell again. Said this before, "justice may be blind, but she can sure smell the scent of money." Sanuk!

Hi, How does one go from 'sentenced to death' to '7 years in jail and walk free'? Sanuk!

Hi, When Eyebee died the UK embassy was involved as well. IIRC they arranged the funeral and got in touch with next of kin. Sanuk!

Hi, Watched both The Amazing Spiderman 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier over the weekend. Was not impressed by the spiderman movie, didn't like the sappy 'romantic comedy' scenes in it. Captain America on the other hand I really enjoyed. Also watched 'Noah' recently, which I thought was utter garbage. Sanuk!

Hi, This bit is also reassuring... NOT! The British Embassy, despite huge pressure, appears to have done absolutely nothing to help. A call several weeks after the kidnap saw an embassy official telling the father that the official dealing with his file was on vacation, nothing was being done. Makes you wonder what the role of the embassy is. Sanuk!

Hi, "Last year, a total of 70,715 foreigners were charged with overstaying their visas." Mostly useless information without knowing the amount of time they overstayed. Big difference between someone coming here on a 30-day visa on arrival and leaving a day or so late and someone living here for a couple of years without a valid visa. "He added that starting from August 29, foreigners who failed to produce their passports would be fined up to Bt20,000 and jailed for up to two years." So, is it 2,000 Baht or 20,000 Baht and jail? And agree with the general sentiment here that this is total bullshit. Been living here nearly 17 years, never carried my passport around and have no intention of starting now. Risk of losing it or having it stolen is too high. Sanuk!

Hi, It boggles the mind that anyone can think that this is acceptable behavior. Cousin of mine was in China for several months a few years back with her then 3-year-old son. When she came to Thailand the kid was wearing pants that open up if he squats down. This so that little kids can just squat and take a piss or crap wherever they are. Sanuk!

Hi, "The Israelis are surrounded by people who have explicitly genocidal intentions towards them." And there are Israelis who believe that the only way to end this is to kill all Palestinians (you'd think they of all people would have learned from the atrocities of WW2, but apparently they haven't). Neither side is free of utter hatred for the other. I also note that the author neatly ignores the encroachment of land perpetrated by the Israelis. Something which is likely a big part of the reason for the ongoing hostilities. Sanuk!

Hi, Yes, but sounds like it is now drinks only, and quite possibly more than that. What's the average ladydrink price now? 150 Baht (really have no idea)? Assuming that price and 120 drink quota, the bar makes 120x130 (say 20 Baht cost per ladydrink, probably too high, but well) = 15,600 Baht. Probably not much below the salary of your average bargirl, possibly even higher. Sanuk!

Hi, "120 lady drinks a month in some bars I am told." Wow, that should more than cover the girl's salary, so effectively the bar owner is getting his dancers for free. Sanuk!

Hi, And of course, it's about -60C at 30K feet. Sanuk!
