Re: Is it true that expats can't have true Thai friends
The simple answer seems to be it is not possible. I posted a similar question about a year ago. The responses were thoughtful, most had not even considered the guestion before but no one had a friend in the pop round for beer way.

Re: Death penalty for corrupt politicians mulled
By following internaiomal standards does he include having a primary healthcare system, a fit for purpose education system? Perhaps he means having a well trained and well paid police service? What about anti racism measures? Thailand has never concerned itself with international standards.

Re: Police presence beefed up as crime wave overwhelms Hua Hin
Oh, very clever! An ex workmate in the UK saw this and on top of the other publicity for the town recently has decided that it sounds like a "wild west town" and has scrubbed it off his first ever tour of the country.

Re: Zampone - how to eat?
Bought this a while ago. Tried it "raw", warmed in stock, fried and microwaved for a few seconds. I concluded that no matter how I ate it I just wasnt keen on it. I pride myself on trying new foods but the one thing I cannot bring myself to try is those big fat frogs that look like they sh...

Re: New pedestrian overpass for Market Village

Re: So... I'm Moving Back to England
I can hardly believe your post! It encapsulates exactly the reason why, after 11 years, we are leaving Thailand in Jan. It is often said that Thais dont want us here and I no longer want to live where it is made clear on a daily basis that we are not welcome. One of the saddest things is that I have...

Re: Tourist SIM lets government track every move
I have owned a house here for 11 years and lived here full time for almost half that time but measures like this and the general hostility towards non Thai tax payers has finally worn us down and this afternoon, with great sadness, put our house up for sale.

They do. You can get big bags of puffed rice from the day market. Enter the top half of the market from the road that splits it in 2 and there is a stall on both sides about 10 m in

Re: New 6 pin chipped ATM cards at Thai banks
Having read all the above posts, and given my card expires in Jan, I decided to be proactive and went to the main BKK bank branch to ask for a new style card. The lady could not understand why I would want to change my card when my present one works fine and had a blank expression when I explained t...
