Hi,

Just arrived and wondering:

1) Where can I find a a place to stay in the Land of Smiles?

KSR, of course.

2) Where is the best place for a teaching job?

anywhere that accepts ur fake degree first, i suppose.

3) How spicey is Thai food?

fucking hot

4) Are there any good places to drink cheap whiskey in Bangkok?

loads, try sukhumvit roadside stalls at 4.00am

5) I have 80.000 pounds on me. Can I find a girlfriend who will respect me for my mind with this amount of dosh?

fuck yeah! for at least 7 long times!

6) Will one Lonely Plannet be enough, or should I bring multiple copies.

more the better!

7) Where is the best place to fix my Birkenstocks and repair my backpack?

erm, not sure, but i suppose some hippy on KSR can tell you!

8) Can I crash on your couch until i find a 60,000 baht job in Thailand?

no prblem bro, i love complete strangers crashing my joint!

9) Why do people keep saying that Thai is a tonal language?

they dont unnerstnad thai really!

10) Can find a proper English breakfast in rural Isan?

nope, it da sticks brother!

Why don't you have any lips? Is it because you is a bloke?

PS - I'm not on the Guinness this week, Sorry.

Greetings! Err....If you really have that much dosh on you I suggest that you open a bank account and get it out of your pocket. Find yourself some 'nice young lady' and she will keep all the others away untill you can find your feet. Not all Thai food is spicey, but most of it is well above what you may be used to. In my experience, Rough guide is better than lonely planet. Yes, full English is available in Issan but you will need an interpreter, and a good map. Welcome to the LOS, enjoy.

Is this guy for real? welcome if you are nolips.

I lost me lips during the war due to scurvy.

Why use a straw when you have a tongue.
