    Probably the best Thai speaker I've seen apart from Todd Lavelle (aka Tong Dee). Biggs is better at 'proper' Thai and Lavelle is better at colloquial Thai.

    ^^ You've not heard me order chicken and cashew nuts with a large leo. Close your eyes and you would think I was Biggs and Lavelle rolled into one!!

    I'm up near the airport way, but foodland is the closest for my "essentials" like piita bread, brussel sprouts, lamb and other kookie shite.
    Only had lunch there because lazyness kicked in.
    The German contingent are strong there, so you have tp put your towels out early to get a decent seat in the restaurant.
    Black diamonds? I shit 'em.

    that shop is just down the road (3Km?) from the condo where I used to live, along with Thai Pom. Went just about every week, we always remarked how full the parking lot was. It was not unusual to see the store packed and I (we) would be the only farang in the place.

    Middle class Thais love the place.

    A good money spinner for the franchise for sure.

    Best time to have the store/restaurant to your self is 9AM Monday mornings lol

    He speaks Thai fluently and has earned an award for his efforts apparently. The only foreigner to do so.

    He'll be kicking himself that he didn't realise early on as I did that learning past a bare modicum of Thai is a complete waste of time and it was quicker and cheaper to hire a bar-girl prostitute to manage anything that was required in the spoken or written language.

    Doubt he's rolling in the big bucks but probably making a decent living so not a "complete" waste of time. On the other hand had he learned Mandarin as well as he has Thai, he would be making far more money.

    He isn't fluent at all! Any Thai around this neck of the woods can spot an Australian, he is one step above that fat old [at][at][at][at] that does the B. Grimm Shit of a Sunday morning on Thai PBS...forget her name, but they play waltzing Matilda everytime she is on the box...a fucking embarrasment!

    She usually interviews Thais that think they are clever at some hotel in Bangkok...something "By the park" I mean for fucks sake, are these people UNDERTAKERS? "B. GRIMM" do they posess a smile?

    Usually promoting that Blue Elephant chain of shit restaurants...what is the name of the hotel?? She cannot even pronounce Sawasdee properly, it is like a dinosaur, a creature from another age, a bit like Thai society really, layer upon layer of fossilized SHIT!

    Is it Narrat or Narrit by the park?

    Well good luck to him, but where I live he is spotted like a fucking cockroach and his Thai simply does not pass the test!

    I am not judging him, I am telling you what the locals say, they can speak Thai...and they know he is not a native Thai speaker, I have an Ozzie mate that they rate way way above Biggs!

    No I am not jealous, only telling you what people around here think, nothing more.

    I don't even try to compare my Thai with his, all I am saying is that as far as Thais in this neck of the woods are concerned, the guy is not fluent at all!

    Maybe I am an idiot, I am just telling you what people here think of his Thai...nothing more, nothing less, don't be an insulting [at][at][at][at], it doesn't become you!

    What do you rate any "achievment " award to be worth in this "GREAT" country? it usually involves kow towing or sucking up /cocks...go and read Handleys book and see what fucking damage one GREAT leader diid to the south when he planned some irrigation ditches that flooded the whole place with fucking seawater! We cannot get cleverer than that can we!

    If you were awarded some sort of meritous badge of esteem from here...seriously, would you dare include it on your CV? I for one would try and hide it!

    Most of the time, according to you, "most of the Thais" around your neck of the woods are "as thick as shit".

    Now you are in agreement with them, and seemingly as wrong as them also.

    Quite the paradox, yes? More is amusing, to observe the steadfast logic that most use to justify the means.

    You have absolutely no idea do you!


    Go piss up a rope you fuck wit! the Thais are only stupid because of their education, or lack of it! nothing more, nothing less, but I still hold them in more respect than arseholes like you!

    The Thais are stupid because they have spent the passed few hundred years leaning to be slaves to the "Clever Cunts" The Yellow Shirt Brigade, the real dogs of Thai society!

    It is time to revolt!

    No, they are as thick as shit, they have had a pretty shit education, what is your fucking excuse? I can forgive people for not having the opportunity to learn, but cunts like you lot, well, sorry, the opportunity was there and you still ended up like a fuckwit

    Sorry, I should not generalise too much, what I should say is that many of the people who tend to reply to my posts do so because they either do not understand where I am coming from (fuckwits) or don't live here.

    I get really fucked off at the smart asses living in their sheltered little worlds away from the nitty gritty grime of this place, it is not the land of smiles, and anyone that pretends it is is a fucking arsehole, this place is fucked!



    To be truthfull, most of you lot are nothing but a bunch of smug self effacing CUNTS that sit on your fucking high horses and spout SHIT!, you know fuck all, you live in your fucking condos and pretend you are living reality, fucking ass wipes! Your fucking Idea of adventure is going to the fucking 7/11! for fucks sake! You seem to spend most of your time posting fucking stupid red and green shit to each others posts, what a load of SHIT, 2what on earth are you on about? A red ass or a green assn who gives a fucking shit!

    Someone posts a topic, and within 2 minutes it is seized by a shark attack of self promoting backslapping shit!

    You sit and agree with the yellow shirts because you LOVE Thailand, what a bunch of cunts! I have never heard so much shit, (apart from on Thai Visa and that sad teacher forum) for fucks sake grow up!

    out of all of you ass licking shits, there is probably about 3 or 4 people that really understand this place...and they know who they are, the rest of you are a bunch of pretentios self effacing fucking wankers that probably spend two weeks a year here... fucking arseholes! I take my hat off, not that I wear one, but here is to those people that have slugged it out in the sticks and actually experienced the country, good luck to them, I hope they get on well, the fuckwits sitting in their air con condos...get fucked! you are nothing!

    Here, shove that in your fucking JAIL you fucking cretins!

    Well that is my halfpenny, sorry if it offends!
