Yep, shame on you. You must realise there are cretins from all countries overpaying....

You can own a condo outright as long as there is a certain percentage of condos in the same block owned by Thais. Not sure of the exact percentage. Best to contact an English speaking Thai lawyer for the best advice.

Always come in May. Plenty of girls and not so busy so plenty of choice. You'll have a blast.

I'll share. You can have the prawn crackers.

After eating Thai and Indian it will seem bland in comparison. Sadly, there is a lack of decent Chinese restaurants in Thailand, so I'll have to give this a go on my upcoming trip. Montydog is staying there as well, so jobs a goodun.

Don't even start on education pal, because you aren't even on the same page as me. The difference is that I changed my avatar on request, whereas you are continuing to use the word chink despite me proving to you that it is a racist and offensive term. Oh, and you might repeat it to me, but it wouldn't be wise. Now I am respectfully asking you to refrain from the word Chink or Chinky as I find it offensive and derogatory. Then the thread can get back on track.

I am a Roman Catholic and it doesn't offend me. How is it anti-Christian ? I am happy to change it by all means, but if you read it properly you will see that it does not insult Christians or Jesus. Accepted about the cunt reference, but pardon me for thinking this was a forum devoted to paid sex by adults.

If anybody has a problem with it, they can say so and I'll change it no problem. That's appreciating other peoples views and would accept it people found it offensive. That's twice you have thrown about insults, the sign of a weak mind. I have provided you with several definitions of the word chinky (and do more if you are struggling) and how it is racist and offensive, and you think that just because somebody posts 1 obscure photo and that British people are called Brits, that it isn't racist (not racialist as you used incorrectly). I don't want to side track the thread and

And there are 1000's of movies where Black people use the word nigger, doesn't make it any less offensive for others to use it.

Chinky/Chink wholesale is a racist and offensive term for the Chinese. It doesn't matter in what context you use it.

Ah, a cyber warrior who insults people from behind the safety of his screen. The problem with people like you is that you lack education. You are that stupid that you think calling a Pakistani man a Paki is acceptable because people call British people Brits or Scottish people jocks. Well it isn't, because it is all about the tone and context and historical meaning. I see you don't include calling Black people "Niggers" in your little list. So to educate you as to the definition and history of the use of "Chinky" to describe Chinese people..... "A racist term, derived by the word "

I always use the Bell Bus whenever I can. The difference in travel time between that and a taxi is negligable and you save 1000 baht.

As Monty says The Indian Food at the Stone Oven on the corner of Soi 6 and Beach Road is excellent, I think they get it from the restaurant upstairs if you want an aircon restaurant. Although I haven't tried it, I was recommended the Indian Restaurant just up from World Gems near Walking St on the left hand side opposite Bamboo Entertainment.

Do people not understand that using the word "Chinks" to describe the Chinese is actually racist and offensive ?

Isn't it just, looks decent as well.

I will always stay here now. The top rooms are 750 baht a night, massive, clean and DVD player in the room that plays MP3's so get burning those discs. The owner is friendly, and I am sure if you say you are staying for a month, he will give you a discounted rate.

That doesn't sound right. Stayed there last September, no deposit asked for. The only thing Vic asked me to bring was some Colmans English mustard. Booked up again for this Sept/Oct and again no deposit. Although he does know me now.
