It has to be a personal scale: We can gauge a poster's personal satisfaction by his ratings. Otherwise, I concur with your view that it's about personal attraction. Excellent POV IMO.

Yes, they started passing on the charge from Visa on the First of June. But you can still get the fee-free (for now) Cash Card debit card which is operated by Mastercard: See the third Q & A in your...

Open a Nationwide Flex account. They don't charge for foreign ATM withdrawals, and you get the inter-bank exchange rate.

Both, (and that annoying nose and ear hair if you ask him) though the haircuts don't amount to much for me these days :D. You get a quick, firm shoulder massage (as is normal in traditional Thai...

soi 8 about 100 yards in on the right (before the [CodeWord900] alleyway).

They also do point-to-point rentals, which can be useful if you're using other modes of transport as well.

In the Western banking world there are some educated (if that's not a misnomer for Western bankers :D) opinions that the Baht has been kept artificially high at not inconsiderable expense to Thailand...

Y'know, Fon Tok, I'm starting to warm to you, though it's unlikely I'll ever darken LL's doorstep. Glad to see you calling for the return of OTH (an individual and independant voice in our odd little...

Duni, Air Asia are on a similar level to all the better budget airlines: Ninety five percent of the time, they are cheap, efficient and reasonably punctual. But when things go wrong, don't expect any...

And who gives a shit about how long you've lived here without even doing the basics of learning the lingo or even familiarizing yourself with the local topography? Of course, you can fool a few...

**GROAN**

Another thing that may or may not be a minus: If you don't like burning tobacco, smoking is on the up in Thailand in general, but in Chiang Mai it's everywhere. Chiang Rai's the same too.

If you are a single guy looking for a punting/mongering-based holiday, then Jimmy Red Cab's got it about right on this. And ignore the advice from expats and suchlike on this one: They don't like...

I think it's obvious that I've always taken a dim view of western expat workers in LOS (mostly losers who couldn't cut the mustard in a first world country imo). But five hundred quid a week at the...

I would be astonished if they weren't available in the shops at the back of the plaza. Quality and newness are 'buyer beware' of course.

is noi (the slightly chubby early 30s one) still working at [CodeWord900] bkk? if she is, she will suck you inside out.

Errr.....so you did a quick read of his other posts while you had him on ignore?

DeepInTexas,

Run a search on a member named NicFrenchy and make sure you change the 'show results as' tab to 'reports'. He has some very detailed recent reports on blow job bars.

Don't know about dollars, 1Ball, but my experience of sterling is that older is better. The Bank of England introduced a new £20 note earlier this year, and I had serious problems getting it changed...

Nic, thanks for your informative reply. Your company clearly operates good management of employees using similar techniques to companies in Western Europe. But I'm still baffled by your original...

Nic, with all due respect, your quoted sentence reads as nonsense to me. Of course an employee will be temped to leave if somebody offers them more money. In what way is this behaviour any different...

Can you recommend a nice GF hotel on or near Soi 33?

1Ball,

Don't know if all the networks have the same policies in Thailand, but I've never had any probs with my Cheap Charlie DTAC sim card. On arrival, I just 'fill her up' and she's good to drive...

OTH,

Pete may have hit on something IMO.

You cannot drive us moronic sextourists away from the Kingdom singlehanded, but maybe you can at least provide a little education inside a dedicated...

My link to Coma Boy's excellent blog somehow ended up in the Fight Club thread after Jackson's recent cull. The blog is very on-topic and, I'm sure, of interest to many readers of the Thai section....

Import duties certainly have to be paid on parcels into the UK. Looks like it's the same for Thailand. A possible (but not surefire) way around this is to give a nominal value to and suitably vague...
