Well it seems as the truth has come out.

Busted...

KW has ruined more threads than anyone. Mods, please???

Does TD want a forum dominated by Queerwilly?

And this is where TD is presently at with the same bone-heads arguing with each other.

Pathetic and sad.

She said, he said.

I must say that the current admin is doing a hell of a job. DD...

One of the main reasons that I along with many other posters who have stopped posting on TD is simple.

kingwilly responds on almost every post. It does get old...

Posters like kingwilly or sir willy has tried to destroy several forums in Thailand and SEA. He is a weird dude!

If the current TD admin has a strong back bone it will not work.

Let the...

All this from Home Pro? Got to have giggle...

Growing up in hillbilly land the first thing I would have asked is "why a 22?".

This problem about corruption has raised it's ugly head in my family. The question was posed. If you were stopped by the Thai police would you pay or accept the ticket. Pay immediately was the answer...

Great thread!

This report does not make sense with several salient points.

So, physically capable. Counts as a yes. But half-Thai, so doesn't really impact the survey. Which is pointing to poor motor skills on my part.[/quote]

Read something the other day about motor...

One of the Thai idioms that initially did not make sense to me and now it does is the following.

Mai ben sopolat.

In other words that is not a pineapple. This expression is used when...

My daughter who has many of my traits (sad, I know) recently went to pick up some socks she had left in the living room with her toes. The wife yelled at her for being impolite, I was just happy she...

I have never seen a Thai passing or grabbing anything using their toes.

Dude, if you already have a tractor and other farming implements; you should have enough contacts to build a storage shed.

Yes, apparently there is a long line. We are number 3000 something and currently 2000 something is first in line. Was told next week will receive payment.

Good point and will find out.

As a side note where many of the protestors have been taken is known as Theves Road. In Thai it sounds more like Thieves Road...

No money received as of today.

Many of you guys are going to piss off Dirty Dog and we know what he can be like. A single thread with all of the latest news is not going to attract as much attention as tons of new threads.
...

One of the main problems is that many families borrowed money from let's say less than the average banking standards. When many of them get paid they are still going to be in the red.

My family...

The bamboo grapevine says that this time the 'govt' will pay the farmers. Next time back to world prices.

Maybe, my family will be paid soon, let's see.

No problems guy, I get just as frustrated as the next person.

Sorry DK but I have heard this argument over and over again. This past year like many other 'falangs' I have paid enough Thai taxes to raise an entire village. Fair enough I live here. Don't get...

This is by far the most organized and planned coup I have been through. TV and radio are still out. Nothing like this before.[/quote]

Have to agree. Even my wife has been asking me what is going...

I have a lot of shots tht hve been on CNN. The mods are missing a good chance.

My grandfather died from a heart attack at the age of 45. My father did the same at age 63. Now I am 58.

Last year I took a total physical at Bangkok General Hospital. Head to butt. Came to the...

Not perusing much anymore and not keeping my head down but it seems most threads these days turn into shit slinging matches; not really worth it anymore. And yes, I am an American.

Last night the Thai news was telling the BKK people to stock up on food and water.

Should be interesting in the days to come...

For B15,000 I can provide this house. Less than that and you are on your own.

For B6000 you are not going to rent my properties. Sorry.

This should be interesting. Please keep us informed. BTW, I grew up on a dairy farm and my mother always had chickens.

Still nothing as of today!

I know it is like I am virgin on basements (here in TH). Agree on the insulation.

No, it is in P-lok. This particular area has never been flooded.

So that everyone has a better idea of what is going on perhaps some history is in order. Many years ago the rumor was that a Central shopping mall was going to be coming soon to town.

We took a...

Yes, that was my initial thought. However, these possible customers want an American neighborhood feeling about the place, with American style homes.

My explanations that this was not 1950 did...

One important aspect that I forgot to mention is one of the possible customers had lived in the states for many years and wants a basement.

This will be virgin ground for me to explore...

So true, my idea is to have all wiring underground. Forget about UBC wiring as most people upcounty use a satellite.

However, what about a phone line? I supposed a phone line could be laid with...

Point taken and thanks.

1 talang wah = 4sqm = 40sqft. More or less.

Recently I have been asked to build a 'moo baan' upcountry. Each of these homes will have an area of about 120 sq. wa. Probably a total of 10 homes with an American split-level home design in mind....

True, but...

We have done this several times but have always had to pay a penalty fee for paying off earlier. I think the most was B60,000.

The bank we use is Kasikorn so other banks may have...

The bamboo grapevine says the Army will soon step in. This has got to be true as my wife talks to all of her friends...

I tend to think this will be a possibility.

Probably it is just me but I am confused. Do you plan on building a totally different home or upgrading the present home?

But it did not used to be this way, and that is where the fan base came from. Seeing games. Now the average family cannot afford to do that. Its not right.[/quote]

So true! I am a big fan of MLB....

I hope not as my wife and daughter are at the rally...

LT hit the nail on the head.

Additionally, using exterior paint on the interior is something that I will look into.

This reminds me of an incident more than a decade before. The wife and I along with our 5-year old daughter decided to go visit Pattaya one afternoon.

Settled on the beach with all the usual...

Well that is true! DD had a knack about looking at a coin from three sides. I quit being a mod on my own accord because I got tired of dealing with the nuts.

And you?
