So is ketchup and most farang types seem to like to load their plates with that. Also onion releases a lot of sweetness and probably adds to the flavour of liver and onions.

Well the next curse is well on the way, that of outsourcing.....When the engines are being made in China, where of course cheap labour is also the norm, they will be dropping out of the sky. So many great old names now sport 'made in China'... like my Sony Ericsson phone that I thought was made in Japan or Sweden that packed in recently..... made in China.

High season coming up... it gets busy for fruit cakes.

A mate said let's go to Bangkok, it is supposed to be the sex capital of the world. And at that age it sounded like a good idea.

Anthony Perkins...

So do we pick up from Apocalypse Now ????, or Wall St.... It doesn't matter.... Martin Sheen

Agreed, but with the early onset of the cooler nights, now is quite good too!

That's a thought, have the guys who herd the Chinese tourists across beach road started to use them? I have always taken exception to these self appointed traffic police waving me to stop.

You don't come across as too smart yourself.Nothing to add other than personal insults...... ? Your post above is grammatically incorrect.

I have a good friend who has a beautiful big house located just the East side of Third Rd. I wouldn't live there for a gold pig. There is a Karaoke nearby, which hardly gets any customers, but drunken howlings persist until 4-5am many nights. Even an enjoyable evening with the beers on his upper floor terrace was spoiled for me by this background howling. I live out in the sticks but frequent disturbances are common, dogs, funerals, Buddah days (the Wat and town council has a speaker system wired all over the place). Don't expect a peaceful life retired in Thailand unless you are deaf or can afford double glazing!

New Plaza... where is that? I don't think I have ever been, so it exhibits how much of what is on the board you absorb. I mentioned Mike Tyson because I wished I was as tough as him, as you wished you were as smart as me. Flattering by the way.... even if you forgot you wrote it so quickly. As Joe says you seem to take things too seriously, perhaps too much red meat in your diet...... Regarding this rainy season thing, ready to admit you dug yourself into a hole, or that I tore you a new one?

That is the tourist's fault.... you never start to move until the light has been green for several seconds! Same as other junctions.

It is early morning for me and I keep putting off getting ready and off out.Got to do the kratong floating thing later....... I hope it doesn't rain. And I wish I was as tough as Mike Tyson.......

Sad or pretty, are those right words or wrong words? Hard to know what you mean...sunny and hot outside right now, is it rainy season again?

Probably, yes agreed, in the above quote 'probably' is redundant. As to 'using the wrong words', well of course in can be important and is hardly a so what. Let me help... rainy season in the Pattaya area is defined as June to October, starting sooner and lasting a little later in the South. Evening downpours can occur during the hot season, March-May.

So now it just rains just for you.....?

I have always admired Crouch's efforts. But for the manager he just doesn't fit into that 'team' they try to create. He is that square peg in a round hole that the ball always bounces off into the net. Funny set of results so far this weekend.... Arsenal and Chelsea beaten. If City get the points at the Premiership's most southern team that should tighten the top up nicely.

Yes, but you said season, not rain. By your now flailing back-peddling approach it is rainy season all year....

I like to go along with the concept that Songkran is in the hot season......

Are you the guy on another thread having a serious argument with joe about who knows more about Thailand.....This is not doing your cred much good!

My old Nuovo cost me near 50k 3 years ago, or was it 4?I could have paid more for the alloy wheels and shit. When her old banger bike packed in, I bought a good condition, low mileage Suzuki step for 23k, it still runs great snd she uses it near everyday. I wanted electric start and a front disc brake for her. I like the 'known names' rather then these things put together here from Chinese bits..... Honda wave 125x in Carrefour about 40k.

Depends on make and model mate....... like anyplace else.
