With all of its faults, Thailand has the most beautiful women.

I would have a fling with Stosur anytime, but I don't think she would be interested in me. Having a relationship with one of the William sisters would be as dream come true.

Lofty, now that your country is three to nothing in this seven match ODI contest, isn't it time for you to come out of the woodwork to make another silly comment? No guts, no glory.

Marion Jones was the biggest cheat of them all. Nevertheless, I would not mind to get into her pants.

Sounds good. I like to watch ourselves in the large mirror when I am doing my Thai missus, just before she goes bananas.

I am never in the woodwork(s), as you so nicely call it. I am now watching the Poms loose the third of seven ODI contests and you look like you are getting done like a dinner. If it was not for Trott, your South African import, it would be Red Rover. I think England's Ashes win was a fluke.

You are not allowed to use PED when riding your bicycle in the Tour de France. Go and ask Landis.

Go to his place with an iron bar and demand your money. If he pays you, just give him a good smack in the mouth using your fist. If he refuses to pay, crack him over the head with the iron bar. No, I have not been watching too many movies. This is how you deal with arseholes (assholes) and MOTHERFUCKERS.

My mate Evan Cadell was robbed of being the true champion by Lance Armstrong and so were a few other cyclists.

I fully agree. Smilies are for little kids and should be banned on message boards. I promise not use them again, if all board members agree to do the same. (:-)

It's back to school for you, Your Highness.

I think the OP was talking about bringing cash into the country. You are right about the $ 10 000 limit. if you take more than $A 10K in cash or its equivalent out of Australia, you have to declare it on the departure card at the airport. People not doing so, will forfeit all monies if caught by the authorities. There have been quite a few instances reported by the media over the last few years.

I don't know your circumstances, but would it be not the most convenient and safest way to go to your bank and have the money sent from your bank to your Bangkok Bank account by electronic transfer by filling out a simple form, instead of carrying cash on you? Then, once you get to Thailand it might be a good idea to go to your Bangkok Bank branch and request a Foreign Exchange transaction form, which states the purpose of the money transaction, holiday, retirement expenses, purchase of car, etc, to avoid any suspicion of money laundering.?

Good poem. You are the Big Bwana on this board indeed. That is why I have to go easy on you.

It is only natural to regress into our childhood as we get old.

Fancy moving this very important Aussie thread from the member's section. What else could one expect from the Yank moderators, with their heads stuck up their arse

With True Move you will get an expiry date of 1 year from the day you purchase 1000 THB of credit. If you only buy 300 THB credit, all you will get is an additional month to your present expiry date. With True Move you can ring overseas using 006 for 6 THB per minute, instead of using 008 or 009, which costs about 8 or 9 THB per minute. I don't know anything about the other Thai telephony companies, because I have not used them.

Your comment is not appreciated. There is no need to rub it in.

Not if you ever had the privilege to catch some of those left-handers at Uluwatu, which are awesome. The touts and batik sellers on Kuta or Legian Beach can be a nuisance for the newbie one-week tourist, but will leave you alone, once they get to know you. There is good sex to be had as well. Good-looking guys like Big D can score sheilas for free. The Bintang beer is not a bad drop either.

Probably in the Northern Territory of Australia. One bottle of plonk and Bob is your uncle.

Big D, I was talking about the young traveler and not us old cunts with one foot in the grave. Have you ever been to any other places than the USA, Saigon and Pattaya?

You are not wrong. There are no direct flights from Darwin to Bangkok either. Last November I left Darwin with Jetstar at 1820 and arrived in Singapore at 2120 PM. That was too late to catch the connecting flight to Bangkok and I had to wait until 0710 the following morning to catch the Tigerairways flight to Bangkok, which arrived at 0830. The time difference between Darwin and Bangkok is 2 and a half hours, so I arrived in Bangkok at 11AM Darwin time. So it took almost 17 hours to get here. On a positive note, the flights are dirt cheap, as long as you pick the right dates on your computer
