anecdotal stories from LOS, here's mine from today : client is offshore, needs supplies urgently, I'm digging for the items they need & believe me, dealing with Thai vendors can drive you a little bonkers at times Got a quote in by fax, even though I'd sent the requirement thru by eMail. NO delivery terms on it. How do I know when they'll be ready if I make an order ?, so on the phone I go. Me - What's the delivery like ? Her - If you order by noon today we can have it ready for pickup tomorrow at noon. M - For all these items ? (I'm curious because item 1 is the most important & so far no one has it in stock) H - Oh no, that item we don't have (but on the quote there's a price for it) M - So, if I ordered it, how long would it take to get one ? H - Oh NO, we cannot supply it, this part is discontinued ! M - But you quoted me a price for it ?!?! H - (silence) ========== Years ago, maybe circa 2005, the 7-11s had all been trained to ask if you wanted some Kanome Jeep or Sarapow along with the items you're purchasing these are those little pork in a skins & white rolls with a filler that are in the steam cabinet. I remember going up the counter on night & the kid asked me that, "Rup Kanome Jeep, Sarapow dooay mai ?" At first I shook my head NO, but then I changed my mind on second thought & said sure, what you got ? to which he answered "MOT !" (finished) ========== Went to Federal Hotel on Soi 7 Suk. one day right around noon, 2004 Went up to reception & asked if they had rooms available. Sure, we have aircon rooms for 700b/night & FAN rooms for 500b, which would you like ? I'll take an aircon room, thanks DTEM ! (full)

{keys radio} Hey Mike, we got the go-ahead on that "thing" we were talking about [Mike's radio] Roger Wilco {key radio} Let me know when it's done ! over & out

that would explain why I can't find anything worth a shit on there any more

you are seriously warped dude, put down the PIPE NOW !

with a Vigo you can also haul around the mrs. & her entire family, LOL

i hope that this case doesn't shut them down, otherwise mininova.org & so many others will go under too

that's weird, it was as if the CIVIC disappeared & was replaced by the City, now Civic is back, Vios for me, but the Mazda does look nicer for longevity I don't think you can beat the Accord

surely they were still paying their employees, but yes the other cost savings would be significant

why do they insist that the airport is in the capital ? it's in Samutprakarn, one Province SouthEast

a retirement visa would meaning coming to Imm. only once/year, don't you think that's a decent option ? there is of course the issue of having to have money in a Thai bank or being able to show monthly income of what they consider sufficient to survive in LOS for a year.

http://www.thaivisa.com/own_car_thailand.0.html " A foreigner who wants to buy a car and register it in his name, must hold a non-immigrant visa and either a work permit or a proof-of-address document from the Immigration Office. "

damn, they still have the Civic, jazz, city, civic, accord, CRV & something called Freed

I thought the City was just the new name for the Civic Just like Vios is the new model name for the old Soluna & Altis is the new Corolla

the previous one would sit & have beers with me, tell me about a particularly wild/horny new gal in the bar, put on PS3 to play or some tunes she had some big shoes to fill covering for Jason

hey, must be Rob's cousin at least now he'll get some feedback last time I saw the guy he was sitting in Silver Dollar slaggin' off their Mexican food, surprised Joom didn't smack him one.

I rode my bike at night back then, a 12-speed. I think 12-speed was a very new thing then. I noticed that the light wasn't getting as much time on the tire as I'd like it too, it seemed to slip a lot I put some shims in there to keep it nice & tight to the tire, it actually rubbed & gave resistance constantly, LOL but that sucker was bright as hell going downhill in 12th gear, until one night i popped my front tire. The little winder ripped right into the tire from the wear & tear & of course punctured the inner tube as well. Luckily I could feel something going awry right before it went flat or I might have went end over end. I re-installed it on the rear tire & ran a wire to the front to run the light & while I was at it I put a trailer light on the back, since the "generator" was already on the back. couldn't that also be said about the OP ?

LOS yes, Pattaya NO

why are rechargable batteries impractical ? I use rechargables for everything from my Nintendo Wii controllers to my little flashlight for blackouts, even the TV remote & A/C remote

I thought it was "one born every minute", LOL

yes, diabetes for sure, the limping he originally encountered was from gout, everything just progressed after that, when he wouldn't stop lifting the yellow liquid to his lips

I"m the fittest youngest guy I know in Rayong ;-}

damn, don't fit the age or the build any more, bummer, I'm IN Rayong

"try to put some value and thought into your posts" on this thread I have to admit I was just razzin' the guy, but point taken what about my thoughtful input on pickled gherkins/cucumbers & pork scratchings/cracklin's ??

so he collects records, my post should have said "We've all been using CDs & iPods is this day & age" it's a shame that many of the music CDs you can find in Pattaya are illigal any better ?
