Most of you might think I am a fool, but I would really like to help a cuty to buy a house, for her security and peace of mind in her life. Maybe we could own 50/50, or just a house of her own.

Erik,

I do not think yo are a fool at all. I think it is very nice of you to help a lady settle down, move on with her life and feel loved and secured.

I am assuming however that you live in Thailand? that you can see her on a daily basis? that you could eventualy check on the work Progress of the house? Also, that you can have someone (other than the lady) help you translate the Ownership papers of the house?

If you answered "Yes" to all the above questions, then I think that this is not a bad idea.

However, if you live overseas, I would strongly suggest you review your situation with her entirely... Sponsorship is a great alternative if you live in Thailand, but not if you are abroad.

I have been with so many girls that told me about their Swiss, German, Brittish, American sponsors (The French apparently are too "cheap" to sponsor LOL) and yet they were still working the night bar scene.

This is a very difficult situation but I am sure there are cases where it worked well.

If you really think about sending money, wait a little, let the idea simmer in your brain for a few weeks. Don't forget Love is the only feeling that overwhelms logic and Reason.

If you still really want to help her after that, then go for it!! it is always better to have guilt on something we have done rather than on something we did not do.

Good luck

Don't believe the stories about the beergarten being filled with losers. At least don't believe they are ALL losers.

Stopped in for a beer yesterday afternoon and got into a conversations with a guy who is developing a data processing operation here. He had just come from Sri Lanka where they hav a small operation and was looking for a bit of company.

As we talked I looked around the bar and saw only the usual 3 to 6 crowd and some of them would have a hard time getting a 3 until after a good many beers. All of a sudden I realized that sitting directly across the bar from me was a stunner. I like little slender things and this was not only a spinner but she was beautiful.

She was sitting with an oriental guy who looked Chinese. he was drinking a beer and she was drinking a coke. I asked the guy I was talking with if he had noticed her earlier and was she hooked up with this guy. He had no idea and only said she was available. Hell, I knew that but was she TAKEN. I was in lust.

I was trying to figure out how to get her loose from this guy without starting a fight when she got up and went over to talk to a bunch of the girls at the little bar by the door. Told the guy I was talking to I had to run and I got over before she could disappear. The closer I got the better she looked. Asked her to sit down and I ordered a beer. She said she didn't drink beer and didn't want another coke.
She said she had been in bangkok for 4 months and lived with her mother. Her English was understandable but I realized it was pretty limited. Then when I asked why she came to bk she said she had a baby and prorceeded to pull out a bunch of pictures of her 1 1/2 year old son. Father was back in Issan and didn't provide any support. She said she didn't like the other guy at the bar who wanted one hour and 2 shots for 1000 baht. Said she liked happy people and boy I was happy.

Back to the Nana where I started taking some pictures. She was fascinated to see herself. Started with clothes on and gradually got down to the Nitty Gritty. Later took some shots of her face sitting in the sun streaming in the window. She really liked those and said she didn't like the gyno shots. Thought her pussy was ugly. I didn't agree but realized I had to get closeups to see anything it was so small. Looked at the size and wondered where I was going to put the Ancienet tool. Not to worry, it fit just fine. Also wondered where the stretch marks were as their was no sign on her flat little belly. What a cute little ass to balance it out.

I explained that the little blue pills I ate back at the bar when I realized in was in for an unplanned session would need an hour or so to work their magic. The ancient tool does need it's help. She said if we had to wait that she was hungry. Got room service up in a shot with whatever it was that she wanted and room service recognized. My Thai is terrible and it was not something I recognized. We sat there naked with her feediing me every other bite. A nice massage took up the rest of the hour and the blueys did just fine.

As we were showering afterward I measured her height at just below my tits and I am a bit short of 6 feet. Maybe she weighs 80 pounds soaking wet which she was a lot as she loved the hot water shower. Only had cold water at home. Took some more pictures and she got dressed. We talked about getting together again and she said she doesn't have a phone. She wants another go today but she might have to wait till tomorrow.

I gave her 1000 !100 and she was very happy. Showed me that she was down to 70 baht in her purse.

Well, I guess it is back to the Beergarten

Most of you might think I am a fool, but I would really like to help a cuty to buy a house, for her security and peace of mind in her life. Maybe we could own 50/50, or just a house of her own. I could help by paying a share of her mortgage, etc... The thing is I know absolutly nothing about poperty business in Thailand. Anyone would know where to find a website of forum giving some knowledge of that ?
Thanks

Any real estate deal with any Thai, Pinoy or people from other p4p destinations may as well be swampland in Fla.

I remember a shaved headed Belgian looking down at me like he was lord of the manor walking with his 30+ so called ex bargirl coming out of "their" condo when I was staying with some ho in Lengnarm near Pattaya. She tried to keep me there to keep me away from the more newbile talent closer to the water. This "Dr. Evil looking jack-the-lad" wasn't looking too happy a week later when his trollup was demanding more. Fortunately for me, my only invesment was a bar fine, some groceries and a pair of shoes. When the Spanish had Tupac and demanded a room full of gold, after that they demanded another and another then they killed Tupac even after the deal had been fulfilled thrice. This is how they look at us. Sad but true.

Just remember that the the more you are committed the harder it is to walk and that they will always demand more.

I also heard there is somewhere in the new airport to pick up Sim Card (hopefully in the arrivals side) could someone give me some pointers?

You can buy SIM cards and recharge vouchers in any 7/11.

It depends on what bands are on your phone... I believe AIS's 1-2-call prepaid is on 900Mhz. It might be rolling out 1800 as well but will probably only be around Bangkok right now. If you have a US-centric phone, your triband phone might be 1800/1900/850. Rest of World tribands are 1800/1900/900.

The other carriers DTAC "Happy" and True Move "Just Talk" prepaids are on 1800mhz.

AIS has the widest coverage of Thailand at 900Mhz. But the other guys will work definitely in BKK and probably Pattaya.

aviation officials reluctant to renew certificate due to multiple concerns. this friday was supposed to be the day suvarnabhumi airport would have received a permanent aerodrome certificate for meeting safety requirements of the international civil aviation organisation (icao) - but that is not going to happen.


the interim certificate issued six months ago by the department of civilian aviation (dca) in response to the former government's rush to open the airport for domestic flights on july 29, will expire tomorrow and officials feel uneasy about extending it.

dca director-general chaisak angsuwan said the lack of certification was likely to affect international confidence in thailand's brand new airport, but it was impossible for his agency to issue a permanent certificate amid looming problems such as major cracks on the runway, taxiway and tarmac.

"the best we could do is issue another six-month interim certificate to suvarnabhumi, but i'm not certain if we can do it by this friday because there are a long list of questions for which we are still awaiting answers from the airports of thailand," he said.

chaisak said his agency needed to see a comprehensive plan of how the cracks - reportedly rep001tered around some 100,000 square metres of the airport - would be addressed, as well as other unresolved safety issues such as inadequate lighting and airfield signs.

the thaksin shinawatra government rushed to officially open suvarnabhumi in late september amid criticism from both local and international aviation industry that the airport was not ready. the council for national security, which ousted thaksin 10 days before the opening, said it was too late to change the schedule.

these developments potentially set the stage for the airport to be left in a certification "no-man's land" as thai credibility in regard to ensuring airport safety up to icao standards has suffered a major blow.

"the icao will soon release a list of uncertified airports in the world and it remains to be seen if suvarnabhumi will be on the list," a dca safety official, who asked not to be named, said.

runway and tarmac cracks, which began appearing at the time of the official opening, seemed to be getting worse, said the safety official, and that made it impossible to certify that suvarnabhumi met icao standards.

Here is a pretty good article summarizing the current state of the changes. But basically it is too early to tell. I personally think they will back away from any changes that would unravel the current property ownership structure and will stay focused on limiting foreign ownership of services that are considered more critical to the Thai infrastructure. The problem is that as a member of the WTO, they are limited as to how discriminatory they can be on foreign-ownership rights.

What is happening with property developments in Thailand - specifically in regards to laws specifying majority ownership of developments by Thai nationals. As far as I know, in the past, these laws were only techinally abided to - by the use of reduced voting rights by the Thai national shareholders, by signing blank transfer forms or subjugating shareholding etc. Now I hear that the Thai Government is cracking down and examining the actual wherewithal of these Thai National Nominees, cracking down on reduced voting rights etc - to the point that it is impossible for a Foreign national to have SECURE title to any properties bought in Thainland. WHAT IS THE REAL LOW DOWN ON ALL THIS?? Am asking this here as I know that in the past, this forum and its notable participants, had offered unique insight views and even breaking news. Thanks guys - am plenty worried as I own property there (or thibnk I do!!) - and I would think that many others here also.

This is the reason that I decided it's better to just rent.

That's because Taksin turned it into a HiSo resort island and made all the locals greedy.

It used to be a true get-away place...a proverbial desert island, just for lazing
But, like other places, Samui, Phuket, Phi Phi, Thai greed took over and ruined paradise.

Having just spent a few days in Koh Chang, I can definatley say I will not be going back. Totally unimpressed not just by the lack of mongering opportunities (which was not the main reason of visiting anyway,) but especially at how dissapointing the holiday experience was. The place is well overpriced, the beaches are nothing special at all and I found the people in general to have a totally different attitude; lacking the typical thai friendliness we all love.
I just want to post this to warn any mongers who are thinking about taking a few days out of Patts or Bkk to think twice about Thailands second biggest island.
Very, very dissapointed!

There are few places left to go in this country that aren't spoiled.
