Re: Homeward Bound?

Interesting HHtel. A few years ago my boss asked me for help. He wanted to send his 2 Thai sons to a British Boarding School. I was not 100% enthusiastic, I was non-british and went to an English 'Public"school and its not an easy life, but he persisted and they went off. The first term they we...

Eurostar has announce its new train on the channel run -- e320.

Re: Why do farang buy bars?

You are not quite unique Us.Su. but you are one of a small group who act as 'Mine host" in your bar, you are there to meet and greet about 5 nights a week (and your wife 7 nights/week) so it feels like a local. Many owners even those living here just make occasional appearances.

Re: Bars on Soi 80 (incl photos)

I don't quite understand what all this research and drawing new maps is all about. Te bars change all the time, new names, new ownership, new girls etc. What is the point of all this work, who is it serving?

Re: Moving back to home country after living in Thailand

Area code 704--Charlotte NC
Good choice, pleasant Carolina climate, but far enough inland to reduce Hurricane damage.
Nice people, fatty food.
Hope its the answer, Good luck Y'all.

THAI retirement Visa and other work activity

A retirement visa prohibits you from working inThai. Thats obvious.
If you have work in other SEAsian countries would that cause any problem if IMM found out.
I don't know how they would, but you never know, some ass-h*** reporting you??

Hearing when music is playing

My hearing is going, big problems if there is any music etc in the background.
I have much more problem hearing what women are saying, the higher frequecies go first AND if they are angry their voices go higher and I can hear even less.

My Question: Is this a curse or a blessing?

Re: The Rugby Thread

The Kiwis first try wasNOT a try, replay clearly show that.
The 2nd half was not pretty, the All-Bs just keep running at you, running at you--Just wears the other side out.

Re: Visa to visit China

I have just re read my previous post. You also need conformation of hotel booking or letter from host if staying with friends.
