Lake View is one of the few courses in Thailand without a Slope & Course Rating. Most societies when playing there use an SSS of 72 on A/B and 74 on C/D. Any other combination is usually 73. The Stroke index per hole is odd on A & C and even on B & D. If you play A & C then add 1 to ...

If you have a relationship with a Thai woman and you want it to be full-time then she has to give up whatever job she is doing to be with you (many jobs here for Thais are 60-80 hours per week, 7 days per week and very few holidays.

Thanks everyone for the input. A bank it seems is not acceptable for a Dutch insurance company. Anyway I went to the Municipality in Hua Hin.

Thai girls have the knack of making an old farang feel as if he's 25 again. There are some stupid farangs out there who actually believe their Thai girl friends are head over heels in love with them. As a farang you have to remember that when a Thai girl first meets you she sees you as a walking ATM...

It's for a Dutch pension. It has to be done every year. All it needs is a signature and a company or government stamp. Where are the lawyers next to Macro situated?

For music to be really good it has to pass the test of time. Songs of Gershwin, Porter, Kern, Mercer, Berlin, etc. are still often being played 80 years on. I wonder how much of the music of the last 50 years will still be around in 2150.

Thanks, I'll try him.

Don't forget that the American Dollar is the standard currency. They do have a local currency but everyone wants dollars because their own currency keeps fluctuating. I am also pretty sure that you can't take a car over the border. Check this out if you intend to do that. There are several big casin...

FRom 4 to 36 with an average under 20. Enjoyment is 10 times more important than prestations although we do play to the rules of golf with a few practical local rules.

Manchester United’s legendary striker David Herd has sadly passed away aged 82. Herd grew up in Moss Side and started his career at Stockport County before moving to Arsenal, where he scored 107 goals in 180 appearances. He still remains their 16th highest ever goalscorer and reached 100 goals in fe...
