Rim me you fucking prick licker! God doesn't fucking love me, ya lying fucking prat. Only the people that sell beer that get all me fucking coin like me. Fucking raining season sucks and puts me in a bad mood. So you can stop pulling on your todger now and reply again ya wanking git.

Fucking waste of time getting a Thai Drivers License! I got pulled over this morning for cutting in line at exit of main road. Guy wrote the ticket and not once asked for the license. I have had 3 accidents in 6 years and not once did I ever have a license and never had hassle. And no, I never had to pay anything. Go ahead and waste your time, I will never do it!

Hey Butt Shugger! The bloke asked for a damn weather forecast and I gave it him. Never said there wasn't anything to do fuckwit! Nice fucking try at some sarcasm you limp dicked ass licker! SHUT THE FUCK UP!

You can bet your bottom dollar on rain everyday. It has only not rained at my place in Chonburi 1 day in the last week to 10 days. I would say on any given day there is a 80% chance of rain for the next month or so.

I know a bunch of guys that do that offshore stuff. I doubt you will have any luck without having experience. Could happen, but would be much more likely if you had experience.

Hey man! You missed a spot!

Sorry you feel that way Robert. But you have to be very confident when it comes to business. If you do not convince people 100% that you know what you are talking about, you wont get anywhere. You have to be able to sell yourself, and give the hard pitch. I will try and tone down my posts in the future.

I used to speak decent Spanish, a little French, and a little German......haven't use them for a long time and have forgotten most of what I used to know. I started to learn Chinese, but DAMN is it difficult. You got to literally spit while you talk to pronounce some words correctly. You are exactly correct. You have to pay your dues and work hard to make things come together for you here. It's more difficult when you try this outside your home country. Patience, persistance, and hard work is all you need. I will give up some sources for a certain price. Any one interested can send a PM.

Just an added note. The job agency's in Thailand are of not help at all. I can guarantee you that as soon as you walk out of their office, your information and resume are either thrown in the rubbish bin or filed away somewhere never to be seen again. You may try them, but I have never heard of any one having any luck with them other than teaching jobs maybe. Teaching Thai is not a bad thing short term. 1) It gets you in the country. 2) It pays your bills while you are looking for better paying work. 3) You will learn to speak Thai faster. 4) You will learn the Thai culture better. I always have teaching English as a fall back option to buy me time until I get another job. Never had to use it though. I used to teach the kids in my neighborhood on weekend mornings for 20 baht per hour. Gave them something to do, and paid for my beer for the day. I had anywhere from 15-20 kids each morning for 2 hours each morning.

The job that I had just 3 weeks ago was paying 280k Baht per month. Contract work. I got out of it beause I do not like the way the contract companies do business. I am now back at a Thai company, making decent money for Thai standards. I can live middle class in Thailand for what I make. The kicker is, I got a special deal that gives me a certain percentage of any new business I bring into the company for the life of the project. That's what I am banking on. 3 projects now in process, if they go through they will pay me an extra 150k-200k baht per month for the next 7 years. You are correct. It aint easy at all. Very few have the patience and the right state of mind to stick it out and make it work. I think being lucky also helps. But information from certain people can put you in the right place at the right time and increase your chances of being lucky.

Gary, To answer some of your questions. Grew up most of my life in a single parent home. Put myself through college with a job at a casino. Full time college during the day, and working at the casino at night. Graduated 2 years early. Student loans were paid off before I moved to Thailand. No silver spoon here, but I know a lot of guys here in Thailand did have that luxury. It would have made my life easier. As for being a bottom feeder, some of what you say is true. You have to be a good talker to get anywhere in business. But, to stay in the "biz" you also have to perform. I perform, and I get results. That's why it is easy for me to get work. As well as companies in the USA wanting to buy things in Thailand, but want to do business the American way. I bring that to the table. If you got something to offer, and can sell it, and can get results, a Thai compnay will hire you and pay you above what the locals get paid. 100% SURE! No one here was talking about starting a company Where the hell did you pull that from? We all know it aint easy to start a company here, that was never the question or the topic of the thread content until you brought it up.

Here is my advice in a nut shell. Very easy things to do. 1) Move to Thailand. Being here already helps a ton! 2) Learn the langauge. You will be more valuable to employers. 3) Learn the culture. Business in Thailand is conducted significantly different. 4) Join some of the expat clubs and start socializing. Don't ask too many questions. 5) Create relationships with Thai business men. 6) Be prepared to do things you would normally look down upon. 7) Be ready to kiss Thai business mens ass! Very important. Makes them feel good. 8) Take as much training as you can about as many things as possible. 9) Remember that business is done with smiles here, not pushy attitudes. 10) Dress nicely and don't act like an ass. You never know who is watching.

Yes, that is my real attitude. And yes, I am one sad individual. A sad individual living pretty damn well in Thailand and loving it. Beautiful wife, two beautiful daughters, 4 bedroom 3 bath house on 3.5 rai, brand new truck, and it just keeps getting worse. Why should I have to bust my balls to get where I am, and then give others the oppertunity to take the easy way out. You guys will respect it more if you do it on your own. And yes, it is somewhat like a secret society. If you don't like me, BITE ME! When it comes to getting me real pissed off, there are two things a guy can do. 1) Fuck with my family 2) Fuck with my money. Giving you all the answers for free would be jeopardizing my ability to earn money. Have seen it too many times where a guy tells another guy in a bar that he has a great lead on a job here, and the next week the other guy has stole it out from under him. When it comes to jobs in Thailand, it's no holds barred. That's why most keep their mouths shut.

Yes, it helps if you speak Thai. Not necessary though. The "right people" to know depends on the area of expertise you have. You also need to have some skills that are not readily available from Thai nationals. I am in the "automotive" sector. It took me having to take a temporary contract job for a month to meet "my people". This was just a stroke of luck. Before that, I worked here helping a friend open a new Mfg company. Then with a company that I formerly worked for in the USA. Then for my uncles company that had gotten a large contract from CAT. After that, is when I met "the people". It was like hitting the job lottery. Nice attitude? WTF you want me to do? Why should I show you the path to my hidden treasure so you can sneak in and fucking steal it? Fucking lazy bastards! DO SOME FUCKING HOMEWORK AND YOU WILL FIND IT! I PUT IN MY DUES FOR 4 LONG FUCKING YEARS! I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME! Most likely, you need to be living here already or you basically have very little chance.

You just have to know the right people. Once you get in with those people, you will never be without a job in LOS. It took me a week to get a new job this time. Before it has only taken 1 day. As to who those people are that you need to know......find out for yourself just like the rest of us did.

I am a Manufacturing Engineer with a Six Sigma Black Belt. Never takes me more than a couple weeks to find a new job in Thailand. You have to know the right people. I have worked for 4 different companies in Thailand the past 6 years. I just started a new job this week. Took me a whole week to find it. It also helps if you can speak Thai.

I am sure that he wouldn't want any "peter tracks" in the back seat.

I have used this guy religously. Top notch stuff. Cna provide drinks and refreshments on request. Have also had him bring girls to meet me as well. Nice stuff. He has told me that DVD player is being installed soon. Watch a movie on your way down.

Posting this for a friend. Bangkok Don Muang to Pattaya = 1,700 baht. Transportation = Brand new Cheverolet 4x4, 4 door truck. Box of truck has waterproof cover = great for keeping baggage. Availability = Anytime Contact info = dcripe1@hotmail.com

Your date for the day has a fair amount of gold on. She must be a popular girl where she works? Not a bad choice I might add.

Yes, get a small little bike. Not sure what brand, but they got a little gas engine right near the rear wheel. Looks like a little chainsaw motor. Have seen used ones for 6,000 baht. Top speed maybe 50-60Kmph. Not much of a loss when he slams into the rear of a car.

Why did dave_boo cross the road? Because his dick was caught in the chicken!!!!!!!

"How" pale face. Good see new pale face. What meaning "TQLA"? Tequila?

Girl in the orange shirt with "jeep" written in it in small letters, works on Soi 7 at a beer bar. Nice girl, nice boobs, one of my favorites.
