I sometimes wander if perhaps the decline in business ethics recently amongst the ex-pat community is linked to a declining amount of business. Perhaps people are stooping to underhand methods because money is not as easy to come by as it was. This is just a thought, I don’t have any business inte...

Did you know that this company was formed by the bizarrely named King Camp Gillette? Would you buy anything off someone called King Camp?
He sounds like the impresario of the Blue Angel, mind you; maybe that’s why he knew so much about shaving!

If you follow the lineage of the Honda Wave back through to the Cub and Super Cub, it’s been produced in far higher numbers than any other motor vehicle in the world.

My average age is increasing daily Pete!

Pete, the bridge I mean is the third one of the three new ones that have been built, that crosses the river from the end of the southern bit of the 9 expressway which is supposed to eventually join up to the Eastern ring road. I haven’t tried the bridge that you are referring to as I wasn’t sure...

Pete, we’re still having to use the Rama IX bridge; the last bridge that would get you on the ring road still wasn’t open two weeks ago, although it looks complete so maybe it will be soon. I hope so because I think that will improve things a bit, and for the drive I do up to Issan as well.

I think it sums up the regime in Myanmar when you see in this sad photo following the shooting of the Japanese journalist, that the soldier who has been sent to do the junta’s dirty work hasn’t even been supplied with a pair of boots.http://mizzima.com/Foto-2007/Sep/27foto/japanbig.html

Bloody hell BB, that sounds a bit ropey; I went to an Issan wedding in April but there was no raw chicken eating going on. We did offer to slaughter the pig, but this was at four in the morning at the end of a Chang fuelled stag night. Luckily for the pig, the locals wisely declined our offer! On th...

I’ll look forward to that Pete. I took a load of pictures up in Issan last month so I’ll pick one out to enter, no history though, just rice and the odd kwai! It amuses the locals no end when you take pictures of that sort of stuff. I showed one to my partner’s mother and she asked me where it...

It’s a shame the Dubliner has gone, I used to pop in there sometimes as we’ve known some of the staff for a while and it was always good for a last drink later on. I hope they manage to find new jobs somewhere.

Sorry Jaime, Mickey is going somewhere else: The second deal involves a joint venture with a Dutch property firm to develop a 1,600-hectare land plot in Cha-am district of Phetchaburi province as a residential project. Original plans were to locate a Disney theme park on the property, but TCC Land h...

Sandman, I must have been in JW’s over a hundred times in the last two years and I’ve never seen a fight; you must be either very unlucky or you’re looking at people in a funny way!

I’ve no idea of the actual legality of this, (and no legal expertise or motivation either!) but it has just occurred to me, as I understand things, that you own half of anything that you both own as a married couple, so it seems to me that you would be leasing half of the house off yourself!

I read somewhere that the current frenzy for buying amulets had put half a percent on the Thai economy. There is even a magazine out now that gives all the details and values of the various different ones. I glanced at the cover and they had some listed at over a million baht.

From a Burmese news-site: Top two in junta divided "Maung Aye and his loyalists are opposed to shooting into the crowd," a source close to the military hierarchy told Mizzima referring to the major differences that the head of junta Senior General Than Shwe and his second-in-command, Vice-...
