If they paid 50% of minimum wage, well it is hardly minimum wage is it? In Europe minimum wage means just that.

Agreed, the map only really served to confuse me... and I used to live down Soi SCC. It was when I noticed the driving range that I realised we were talking much further down than around the railway line rd where I first thought. 7-11's keep springing up around there and the streets sure ain't that square and straight. How about a link on Google Maps...

It certainly did, it is sitting on my hard drive right now.

That's your mother?.... So you are the son of a ?

No it isn't.....

So poorly designed, no quality control and naive engineering.....

Yeah, like a kid does.

Depends which bank you use mate, I had no such limitation using an offshore one (Jersey).... there was a limit but higher than what you quoted, also 'discovered when I bought a house. I regularly transfer 5k but use a telex transfer. Tap the keys in the afternoon and see the beer tokens in LOS next morning.

Well to be honest PP your example just made me think yep, they are dumb! But I did have a similar instance when I was a young smartass (not young anymore) with my girlfriend's mother who thought she was quite the business person... I asked would she prefer a wage increase of £10/month, or one of £150/ year. She got it wrong with the latter. Perhaps it is just women who are thick.

I had to, particularly when I went to the USA, my NW UK accent was too much for them. Well actually for the white ones, black guys didn't seem to have much of a problem, go figure.

Sounds similar to a recent incident of a Thai lady who was involved in a road accident and the good Samaritan who came to her aid relieved her of 4 million baht she had in the glove box.

I think you and I have discussed these bars before...... Dave's GB bar (on the beach) where they actually had their own toilet, and some guy put headphones on to keep a blackboard updated with the footy scores from the UK on Saturday nights. He subsequently had a place on Pattayaland 1 and also on 2nd rd before soi 8. I was told Dave died of a hear attack and Linda soon married a Thai man! Wee Andy's missus made great Thai food! There was another guy also a Brit called Dave, I think, who had a beer bar on Beach Rd ... he had a gammy leg.

I am perplexed why you don't just do a 'Telex Transfer' directly into the Bangkok Bank account. For that amount, the better rate over cash, will more than cover the charges. Also aren't there many banks open on a Saturday in LOS?

And Mr Toom (whose name begins with a T and doesn't look like this... ) did me fine yesterday. Driver called me soon after I landed (late) and waited for me (immigration was interminable). A good vehicle (Toyota Camry I think)... Driver polite, but being a youngster a bit of a boy racer.

You can't trust the bloody trains these days..... nearly missed a flight last September due to some issue with power at the station. (Manchester too) Go for the earlier one....

But it does seem somewhat in their psyche to park with utter disregard bordering on contempt for others!
