Richard, have you ever thought about making a deal with the toilet concession to avoid your customers having to find a 5 baht coin to use the bathrooms? Actually, on that subject, the bar I went to had some sort of a deal where their customers could use the heads for free...they had paper tickets that you could ask for and hand to the toilet lady. It's not a new or novel concept, in spite of what some might think elsewhere on the net.

Nice editing job.

Are you sure? Papillon referenced space ships? Check your google search results again You must have quoted the wrong post.

The Maltese Falcon

And, Shilo, of course US financial markets will be subject to pressure from collapsing junk bonds holding shale oil bonds if they start defaulting on their debts. It's all a jumble.

Well, of course. I think what's more interesting is what is not yet there.

No, Sam looked more like a Rottweiler. I've got pics somewhere.

There's a big dog about 4 bars in from the street on the south side named Sam..he's pretty old now, but if he's still alive, I'll be dropping off some meat for him. This dog had a very real and useful talent. Whenever a Thai vendor would approach the bar with his or her goods, the dog would bark at them and chase them off. I loved that dog, and never got hassled while I was in that bar...well, not by the Thai vendors, at least. He's probably dead or moved on like most of the people I once knew there.

I used to spend a lot of time in that complex. It does need a shot in the arm. Good luck and get lots of fans (the kind that move air and the other kind too).

Was that Collingbourne Auctions? I'm in the market for just those sorts of items right now.

I think you could show them your airline frequent flyer card and they would be okay. I've never had to show a passport to change USD to THB.

For me and many like me who don't appreciate their overwhelming numbers, swagger and influence. I could care less about hoteliers and property owners and developers. Your response is predictably combative.

It was moved from the member's bar to here because, while not funny to many, it was a prank story, which, if you knew the guy's history of making commercials, might be amusing.

I believe you should apologize to us for posting a hoax without citing the source. Apologies to the hoax site are probably not necessary.

That's good news!

I saw this on Facebook, and thought if you hadn't seen it before (as I hadn't), you might find it interesting. This was made in 1937, before the nation's name "Thailand" was used. http://youtu.be/YFXTbiOZk8w

Here's a pair of Russians who are incredibly stupid...breaking into a temple to do damage and stealing a paltry 1000 baht. And then...wait for it! Read the article below from http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1418808062

I just looked at it again with that in mind, tallguy, and you're probably right. It looks like dawn or dusk to me, and given their beach attire, which I thought was the result of a night of drinking and debauchery, it was probably just a day of drinking at the beach. In other words, it was probably closer to 6pm?

tallguy, just my impression, as you said. What time of day do you think it was?

I think the impression that violence occurs is bolstered by the fact that mostly violent incidents are written about. Situations where nothing happens are generally not of interest to anyone, so they aren't posted. In other words, what generally happens is just what you saw in this video.

Yes, it is, and it's grown out of that area almost down to Walking Street. The last non-Arab bar on Soi 16 is Rolling Live..all others have become Arab style. Hookahs everywhere openly being used.

Well, based on all the comments from the UK members on FB who responded to this video, he was going to get a beating if he did that to them. At least, that's what they said on Facebook. That takes care of the UK. Seriously, do you think people would wait for the police to take care of this drunken fool? Remember, this is probably around 6am in an area where many of the people have been up all night drinking themselves.

I thought the Thais whose cars and motorbikes he aggressively attacked showed amazing restraint and tolerance, as you say. I doubt he'd have been so lucky doing that in the busy night venues in NY or London.

It's very hard to pity people like this...

What do you mean when you say "streaming"? Essentially everything on the android is streamed, whether from XBMC or any of the other applications. I was thinking you meant only LIVE TV streaming, but I don't see how that's any different than streaming from YIFY or BBC4 or any other non locally stored content.
