Well done Mackin.

Opebo, I enjoy your honest reports (and I suspect many who don't like to admit to it do so also). But you are showing yourself up to be almost as big a wimp as Mick Licker (or...

It's on Bravo TV, which uses the same satellite as Murdoch's Sky TV empire. The first episode was shown Monday eve (UK time) this week and is , I think, available to view on the Bravo website. I...

To quote Black Francis, singer/guitarist of seminal US guitar band Pixies: "Yellow headlights. That's the French for you!"

If you don't mind my asking, did they work?

OTH,

T1234 plays golf and slaps people on the back for a living. Trying to explain your situation to him is like shouting into a wind tunnel. IMO the best place for you (if an opportunity is...

Pointy, no moralising on my part. Feel free to discuss where to illegally obtain a class A amphetemine on an open forum that is monitored by the authorities in a country that has draconian sentences...

Out of curiosity, I googled Xanax and Adderall. Xanax is a bog-standard anti-anxiety medication. Adderall is a prescription full-blown amphetamine. You won't get Adderall in Thailand as a casual...

Many drugs are available over-the-counter in Thai pharmacies. But even if the drugs you want are not available in this way, the medical professions are 100% business-orientated in Thailand. Tell the...

How about "katoey-handled" or "indeterminate-sex-handled"? :D

Nic, I was going to mention in my original post that the central areas of places such as London, Brussels, Amsterdam, etc, etc, are nowhere near as safe as pretty much anywhere in Thailand, but...

I was robbed of my 'phone in Bangkok (got it back later, luckily), and have also had to fend off katoeys many times trying to get at my wallet. All these incidents happened in the Sukhumvit ghetto...

Thought it was you:D. Welcome back. And thanks for correcting the typo.

OTH,
Actually, I have no idea if the profile fits him personally. I just wanted to draw him out to confirm he is who I...

But D, DON'T feel embarrassed for A.Tourist having a good time. After all, he probably doesn't feel embarrassed for pathetic, foolish guys like you who have to stay on in that shithole of a city...

Yes, I've sometimes found this to be the case too.



Exactly. And, as long as the tourists are reasonably well-behaved, most of the locals just have a good chortle about their 'cultural...

The only basis of any attack would be for your use of San Paolo hospital. You're lucky to have got out without your leg, arm, dick, or some such, being amputated (and settle chek bin before leave...

Nope. Your fellow expat has an appalling attitude toward women. You like to diss Opebo , but you slap JB, with his disgusting modus operandi, on the back! Astonishing! Still, his respectable...

never has the point been more clear, jb. at first, i was quite bemused by the overbearing arrogance. now i can see clearly it's basis: sexually predatory behaviour of a relatively extreme kind. enjoy...

It's not the transportation costs, it's the huge import duties levied: Over three hundred percent on imported wine, if I remember correctly.

OTH, I'm going to be blunt with you here. How do these elementary spelling mistakes come about so frequently in your posts?

I actually quite enjoy Opebo's take on expat life in Thailand in the same way that I enjoy a good comic-horror movie. And, unlike the movies, he includes a fair bit of useful info in a lot of his...

Translation into plain English: "Pattaya is a downmarket tourist resort."



Yes.



Hahahahaha. Their cultural integrity :D. You can be so dry at times OTH.

Daddy07,

The best place by far in Pattaya to buy techie stuff of just about any description is Tucom on South Pattaya Road. Travelling from Second Road, it's a few hundred yards before the...

Is it that much? I recently talked with an elderly Scottish guy who told me that he was on the retirement visa with his UK £600 per month private pension (paid directly into a Thai bank).

Seeing that I have been appointed as monitor of posters' internet usage by Headmaster Domino, I thought I'd point out the conflicts between his various statements on the subject.

He has claimed...

Yes, he is.

And I wonder why.
