Bullfrog

An actress with say 5 series under her belt can mix freely in HiSo circles...Prom Porn just from her morning show mixes with HiSo..mainly cos she has managed to keep her legs closed unlike her sister..neither aint gonna be rich... Power is Definately part of HiSo...albeit under the guise of influence...The Bastard children of Samak are neither PM nor commanding General but HiSo all the same...Power...Fcuk yes if either say jump..Bangkokians jump....I don't want to go further on this family otherwise I will end up leaving the board for another few years.. As for the provinces..you ar

Can somebofy find Golden Brown from the Stranglers and stick it on for this old man...

IMO all the answers above are wrong...because the question is wrong..HiSo is about social position and power..which is only indirectly linked to annual income... ...and of course you are all thinking of big city HiSo....Out in the provinces the owner of say the only sugar beat factory maybe deemed to be HiSo.....If he is rich enough never to visit his own factory...

....and no cocktails at the pool either...I no longer need a hotel in Patts but if I did then it would be a toss up between this one and the Sabai Lodge up the road..and I am afraid that getting the kids to deliver me Tequila Sunrises wins over the superior view...

Yep EDGE seems your only option at the moment but it IS possible to get used to it...I switch on, open my hotmail...go for a shower ..come back and it is ready to use...

Yes mate..just read it...interesting...I can definately say the last time I flew with them there was a 20Kg limit per bag at check in...( for flights to Africa via Dubai) .Although that was a couple of years ago as I have since changed my allegiance to Kenya Airways for my flights to Africa.. Would be good to hear from somebody that is flying with them soon..for upto date feedback..

...The last time I flew with them Emirates they didn't allow suitcases over 20kg if transiting Dubai...( Pretty much all flights then!!) ...but you don't know untill you see the sign at the check in desk..I think Kenya is the same.. But I think it is easily overcome by a sweet smile rather than a rant...but it is best to check the rules in advance..

Kenya airways gives 30kg. They are also partners with KLM and AF so I gain miles with Kenya but will spend them with KLM when I need to go to Blighty.. Another thing to be wary of is that some airlines now have a 20Kg limit per suitcase so ask in advance..don't wait untill check in!!!..Last time out of swampy I saw a small group of people ( 6 or 7) piling clothes and shoes onto one of those plastic wrapping machines to lighten their suitcases!!

What do I think?? This is a strange question coming from a contractor.. I have been a contractor for 20 years and wouldn't do ANYHTING unless I had enough money in the bank to last me at least one year of living well without any income.. What happens if you lose your contract..or don't get another one..No contract is safe..even in the good times..and you are talking about stretching a limited budget??? My conclusion is have a bloody good time for the 2 weeks then get back to work...

Yep..you must understand that it is Taxin logic to fight alcholism by making you buy more...or...making sure those better off can afford to have a leisurely drink in the afternoon whilst the riffraff have to wait for 11am or 5 pm to come around to buy one bottle of saysap degrees to be split between 5 people!!..... Personnally I buy a crate of beer to pump up the volume then buy a bottle...OR if in Tesco Lotus I buy a 5 litre box of white wine and same same for red wine...

Too true..what is on offer is 3 times what you would get renting out an apt for the same price..and that is NOT guaranteed..!!

It's OK I have a tat with LUFC at the top...but it is a bit smudged so the LU looks like TIT upside down....hahahahahahaah This is a brilliant threadfuck...

Hehehe..thought I would bring in a bit of light hearted banter brought on by pure jealousy...and it is top chareon not spec savers..

But surely having a tat of a christmas tree on your back is a bit seasonal isn't it??...Or is it a stick on one and you will replace it with a crucifix for Easter.. BTW nice red bra you are wearing too...

For what you describe I would say yes if it was near a Thai Unversity..say chiang mai, kamphaengphet..nackon nowhere etc etc...no if in Pattaya.. I am now doing out my two studios in Nova Mirage, Naklua..I kept them empty shell for a bit to see what was happening in the market...Rentals are now doing well in Naklua so I have jumped in at what I think is the right time..As an indicator we wanted to rent a place there whilst we did ours up....but they were all fully booked up....

You can live like a king....but not like a prince...

Yep agree..but my opinion to the OP is get yourself a TW,TG or thai friend that lives in a university city...buy student accommodation and rent that out.....That is the ONLY guaranteed money earner in the accomodation rental business....but you need a local that you can trust with his/her ear to the ground for any sign of financial weakness of any of the existing property owners...it can take years...In the meantime keep your money in the bank!!

A day later and they would have been in a bar as Ex SAS soldiers.....

You don't mention where the village is... Further South in Lampang is the following place:- http://www.lampangriverlodge.com/ I took wife and kids there..parked the car up and immediately thought "Oh fuck what have I done"...but the lakeside huts REALLY are done out Western style inside...You can stroll hand in hand around the lake...nearby you can get a horse and cart ride around the local town...and you can take a drive up to the Lampang Elephant centre/hospital.. Don't know if it suits you but we loved it....

Does it have an unobscured view of the pavement from the top floor for when I can't afford the last month's payment??

200m on a trolley to check in at departure 200m on a trolley to the taxi on arrival 20 Baht to the bellboy at hotel Hardly a lot of effort is it?? Take 'em with you mate and give them to whomever you want but the orphanage is a good idea..

Where is her dentist???..If it's in Pattaya then I would recommend using www.agoda.com to find a hotel. In another thread I replied that the IBIS has a good deal on at the moment..The same distance to the beach..near bars with music, shops etc...it is also not far from PIH soi 4..If she is being treated there then perfect mate

Go to the main site here.. http://www.agoda.co.uk/ Go to the table "Check Rates & Availability" on the left .. Enter Thailand, then Pattaya, then dates, then number of rooms, then press search...
