Baht bus driver attacks farang with lump of wood
Gabor replied to wombat's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
I had two accident with bbus drivers. Once some guys ran without paying at the same place, where I dropped out. The driver shouted with me to pay, because they are my friends and beated my chest with his fist. To no effect I explained I never saw those guys before in my life. So I went inside a supermarket and he left. The second one was the similar story. We agreed for a price and at the hotel he demanded a half more. After some arguing ( I was calm and polite ) I was banged on the glass wall and he throttled me. The hotel staff saved me and my TGF anyway paid him the rest of the money. Some time I feel to shoot them in scruff without any hesitating. -

View Talay2 condo for renting out for long time.
Gabor replied to Gabor's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Eddie, Thanx for the attention. I am looking for at least a 6 month contract. Anyway, the condo B. will be free probably for a 2 month rent out, but I can tell you about that only on the end of october. Price is negotiable, depends on the lenght of the renting. ( be sure, much cheaper than internet offers ) -
At the Jomtien beach paradise last year was a free internet connection in the room. Some times had trouble with it. As I am informed from the owner the internet connection developed overthere to a sattelite connection. You connect him and figure out. If you have a telephone line, you can buy tickets to use internet on your laptop, not too expensive. Internet cafe usually 1 bat/minute. ( 2 bat in hotels )

Iain, I don't understand you. I have 4 week time share for a one bedroom unit. Without any extra expenses RCI changed it for me to Pattaya to a 2 bedroom king suite in last year and in this year. As I mentioned only one try at the Sigma. No any problems in other hotels, I mean no any visitor fee. Check it. http://www.rci.com

So Cal Guy. NO. RCI is the biggest time sharing organization. You know, when you buy 1-2-3 week in an aparthotel and changing weks for different places.

A still open question. Why the green fruit http://kep.tar.hu/farang/midsize/pic1945394.jpg is farang? Anyway I copy some about I found before about the origin of farang. ORIGIN OF THE WORD "FARANG" A wide-spread belief in Thailand is that the word "farang" (Caucasian) is derived from the French word "francais". This derivation is implausible on phonetic and historical grounds. It is in fact a popular misconception. It is true, however, that these words have the same ultimate source. The word is attested in various forms in languages in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. It is clear that the word orginated as "Frank" in Europe and spread eastwards along Muslim trade routes. Thai most likely borrowed the word from influential Muslim Persian or Indian traders in the 17th century or even earlier. The Persian word was "farangg". The term probably was used to refer to early Portuguese traders and subsequently to all Europeans (ie., non-Muslims). It is possible that the Thai word "farangset" ("French") is a blend of the word "farang" and the French word "francais", ie., "farangset" is actually derived from "farang", not vice versa. Certainly, the word "farang" existed prior to, and independently of, "farangset". Even if you can speak no other words of Thai, most European and American visitors to Thailand will quickly become familiar with the Thai word farang (often mispronounced (even by Thais) as falang - farang with a slightly trilled 'r' is the correct pronunciation.) It's basically used to describe caucasians, though African-Americans will sometimes also be known as farang or as farang dam ('black farang'). Farang is also the Thai word for the guava fruit, so you can expect to hear farang eating farang 'jokes' if you happen to purchase any. Other Asians are generally known by their country of origin (e.g. kon jeen - "Chinese people", kon yee-bpun - "Japanese people"), while people from the Indian Subcontinent are often known as kairk (which translates as "guest"). Kairk is used to describe even fluent Thai speakers of Indian descent who have been living in Thailand for generations and consider themselves as Thai - obviously being referred to as a 'guest' in these circumstances, while not particularly offensive, is not exactly complimentary either. Some people get very offended at being called farang, but whether it's an insult should or not really depends on the context. A few Thais who are uncomfortable with using it will say kon dtahng bpra-tayt ('people from other countries') instead, but this is still pretty rare. Farang is basically a neutral word, but people who respect you (or who should respect you) will not use it - if you hear a work colleague, for example, refer to you as farang they probably mean it as an insult while a taxi driver or market vendor doing the same is unlikely to mean any offense at all. Regardless of its origin, people seem to be confused as to whether it is a derogatory term, like 'nigger', 'gook' or 'whitey', or that is merely a colloquial way of saying foreigner. I would tend to think it is the latter, although it can certainly be used in an insulting manner. My wife, for instance, never refers to me as 'farang', she uses 'khon tang chart' (foreign person). She does however use 'farang' when talking about westerners she is not close to, but always addresses (and refers to) my friends with their names, usually prefixed with 'Khun'. To me this indicates that 'farang' is used only when speaking about people you are not close to, like one waiter telling another to bring the food to 'that farang'. I don't think the waiter is insulting in this example, just using an easy characteristic of the customer to identify him to his colleague.

If you want to know everything about Pattaya
Gabor replied to Gabor's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Another possibilities to cooperate. Still now, I had no possibilities to put a banner - just a link - so I created a Pattaya and Thailand related topsite which is linked from my motherpage from the right upper banner and ready to receive your banners. All you have to do is, on the Top Site page click to the " add your site" button and follow the instructions. As my original homepage is a non profit site, this offer is also absolutely free. Your banner starts to work, when the first click to my banner from your page. This is the software, not me. If you feel derogatory my banner on your page, after the first click you can remove it, the counter will counting anyway all the visitors from Pattaya Lap Topsites Pages ( http://pattayalap.mytopsitelist.com/pattayalap ) to you. -
NEED SOME HELP I WANT TO BUY A CONDO!
Gabor replied to airborni's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Hi Dave! So, we are not only in one building, but the same floor OK, I have not a fancy one bedroom, just a studio, but it fits to me, as I am just a tourist for the winter months. And maybe I will rent out for the next year as I made in the last 6 months. Anyway in this case I will rent an other studio in this building. I can say to you after a long-long search that you made a great deal. Hope so to share a beer on the balcony with you ;D You are the 5th owner I "met" from the building and you are the first not hungarian,
