Thanks for your input, BB. I mentioned the non-visible BIB, not because I'm doing anything wrong but just to show there's no 'shake-downs' which you sometimes get here. The friend I have in Nong Khai who has lived in Thailand for almost 30 years, made the move, literally on a whim. 15 years ago, he ...

I see and hear what you say, but I've always said it takes a very special type of person to live that way. Nongkhai isn't a village. It does have all the mod cons, bars (even farang owned), restaurants (and a good selection both farang and Thai), girls!, a very friendly farang population, Makro, Lo...

Origin of the 'flashmob'.

It's hot. I'm gonna stand in that guy's shadow. - 'me too', 'me too' 'me too' 'me too' .................

Not sure if this helps: A year ago a new law came into place that applies to rent properties in Thailand. Named the Thai Rental Law, it affects rental properties that form part of a business.

And also in The Thaiger:

April 6 is Chakri Day, celebrating the inception of the Chakri Dynasty, a significant milestone in Thai history. Alcohol sales continue unhindered on this day and its substitution day on April 8.

In general the 'cost of living' is much cheaper in Thailand even for 'farang' food. Tell me anywhere in the UK where you can get a full English for the same price as here.
I have no complaints.

Yes. Surprised at YTS who have a reputation of providing good downloads.
This was obviously a 'camera copy' which I've deleted and will wait for a good copy.

Surely this is just someone’s sense of humour? The first one was Saturday March 31st 2007 and has since become a worldwide phenomenon. "Earth Hour has grown to become the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, bringing together individuals, communities, businesses, organizati...

Thanks for that, BB. Never thought of looking on Lazada and sure enough there are a few sellers of dried marrowfat peas. I'm just about to order some.
