  1. Of course not, but then again this is Texas, where it's A-OK for white people to walk around with loaded assault weapons.

     

    Where did you come up with that it is A-OK?  Open carry is against the law in Texas, so that makes it NOT A-OK. Kinda hard to conceal an assault rifle. If you are carrying a gun in Texas, and people can see the gun, you are breaking the law.  As far as Waco, I don't recall seeing any mention of the gang members having assault rifles. Or anyone saying the gangs were law-abiding citizens.

     

    I've got the popcorn out reading some of the comments in this thread.  :popcorm1:

  2. I was chatting with a friend a few days ago and we laughed that it is ironic that a coup and lack of free elections is starting to bring about the practice of appointing someone on their merits for the first time in a long time in Thailand.

  3. Yes, in back of the Avenue. Pad ka prao pork, rice, and 2 waters. Price 90 baht. And the music played included Tom Petty, Motown, 38 Special, Stones, etc. Nice. I like to support places like this.

    A couple of small beer bars are a few steps away.

  4. There was also a bill introduced to ban alcohol in the entire country. 

     

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-14/indonesian-parties-propose-bill-to-ban-alcohol-consumption/6391952

     

    The article says .... in 2014, only 2.2 per cent of Indonesians over the age of 20 had consumed alcohol in the previous 12 months

     

    So almost no locals drink, but tourists do, and in places like Bali (which is not Muslim), tourism would grind to a halt if such a law was passed and enforced.

  5. The bar worker, who cannot be named, told Police that she met the Russian in a bar she works at on Pattaya Second Road and he invited her to spend the night with him.

     

    The pair left the bar and walked up to Pattaya Third Road. When they arrived at the area of woodland, she alleges Mr. Igvatyer pulled her into bushes and made attempts to sexually assault her.

     

    WTF?  He barfines a girl (i.e she agrees to sleep with him in his hotel room) then he tried to fuck her on the walk on the way to his hotel?  :huh:

  6.  

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/susancunningham/2015/03/25/as-ruble-plunges-so-does-russian-tourism-in-thailand/

     

    Russians that do come are discovering that smartphones and electronics are no longer cheaper in Thailand than at home. The value of the ruble has fallen about 50% against the Thai baht in the past year.

     

    But who would guess that the Russian declines would also have such a major impact on the condo market in Pattaya, as reported by the Bangkok Post last month.

     

     

    This point is key.  For any Russians that bought condos when the ruble was double the value it is now, they have a 100% gain if they can sell it near their purchase price (not a given, certainly!).

     

    I'll take the Russians every day, and twice on Sundays, if the alternative is Chinese Mainlanders.

  7. but I'd rather not risk being caught in a lie since I'm not actually planning on moving to Thailand.

     

    Unrelated to the bank account issue ... I had to chuckle out loud when I read this.  If you're worried about lying, you're moving to the wrong country! 555  Lying in Thailand is something that is done very naturally, as it is usually for the benefit of all parties involved.

  8. The bar area is a few mins walking distance from Sukhumvit, where the buses run.  When you are in the area, you will see a Tesco Lotus on the right.  You will get off the bus a very short distance on the left, at Soi 25.  Just before Soi 25 is Soi 23, there is a 7-11 and a doctor's office.  Soi 25 has a traffic light, and a big motorcycle shop with a red and white striped facade. All the bars and Camel Inn and the Chang Inn Hotel are on Soi 25.

     

    The exact location of the start of the bars, all on the left side, is here: https://www.google.com/maps/@12.724752,101.050085,3a,75y,340.2h,84.23t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sannY2fWR4DONRKjE9Xh9RA!2e0

  9. Does she go by Candy on CL as well??  Link perhaps?  I have been known to use CL when in Bangers.  Have had some good times and have found a couple of great gals!!!

     

    Yes, she does.  Link: http://bangkok.craigslist.co.th/cas/4919395100.html

     

    It looks like she is marketing the "domination niche".  I think she prefers top, but the couple of times I saw her, she bottomed. I did not meet her from Craigslist, and my guess is that you would pay a surcharge if you did that.  I gave her my number in Cascade then she texted me and I hooked up with her a few day later, and she met me late afternoon.  This was 6 mos ago.  She's pretty bright and she'll probably do anything you like. YMMV.

  10. DF, I think the TL-WR702N is a slightly different animal than the ones I listed, in regards to bridge-mode/WISP/repeater/etc.  Obviously discussion that does not belong on a ladyboy forum ... a good thread is here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-technology/1350472-worlds-smallest-wireless-router-hotel-rooms-5.html

     

    Another advantage of these types of travel routers like you bought is that you can place them somewhere there is a better wifi signal (like in the window) and then have your device anywhere in the room.  Because the of concrete construction of the walls in most Thai hotels, sometimes hanging the travel router on the door knob of the wooden door significantly improves the signal.

  11. Fantastic post Kuhn Eyemahk. Never realized u were a Cnuck. I may have to try Tuccom tomorrow to see if I can pick up an Edimax and short Ethernet cable so I can plug into the port in room and them use my iPad.

     

    I'm not really Canadian, I just tell the GGs and LBs that I am so I can pay them less. :biggrin:

    I think you will not find the Edimax at Tukcom, as I have never seen their products anywhere in Thailand. The Asus WL-330NUL is a longshot, but you might try downloading a pic of it from Amazon or a site that sells it, then showing that pic around the computer shops.  If you can't find the router, you can drown your sorrows with a blowjob behind the curtain at Carre Blanc club, 5 mins walk away. :party0011:   I go there everytime I go to Tukcom.

  12. The couple of places that I stay are decent, last trip I get 6 mbps from ICE INN.  But if the quality of your hotel is Page 10, then you will not be considering Ice Inn.Staying at Ice Inn gives me the bonus of justifying how much I pay.  A poor Canadian like me can't even afford a really nice hotel. :sign0181:

     

    My experience is that the quality of hotel has nothing to do with the quality of Internet connection.

     

    In the higher priced categories of hotel that you demand, the boutique hotel "247 Boutique" on Soi Honey has great wifi and a great rooftop pool. I swim there all the time, they think I stay there. :hi:

     

    Last time I stayed at Baywalk Residence, the wifi was awesome. It's a great hotel with a great location (but no pool). But that's when it was new, so surely the Thais have fucked it up by now.  The Whitehouse on Soi 13 has a lovely rooftop pool and the Internet was really good when my friend stayed there last year.  But the Whitehouse does not allow two guests without a joiner fee (one is no charge).

     

    If you can deal with slightly slower speeds, but really reliable service, get a 3G package for your simcard and use tethering on your smartphone so your other devices can connect.  Then you don't have to care about hotel wifi, and no one will hack your traffic. http://thaiprepaidcard.com/3g-data-plans-for-12call-dtac-and-true/

     

    Not to derail the thread but ..... regardless of anything, I never go anywhere without the $28 Edimax BR-6258n portable router. It is the size of a pack of condoms! and it allows you to create your own WiFi hotspot from a wired connection, or from another WiFi connection.  It works on 90% of the networks I encounter, and makes me feel better that I am adding more security to my traffic. It's really not more work than connecting tablets and smartphones to the hotel wifi.  You just power on the router and wirelessly connect one of your devices to it, then use the easy firmware to tell the router what the connection type, network and password are. Then the router uses that connection, and your devices connect to the router.

     

    The Asus WL-330NUL is similar and newer, and a friend said slightly easier to configure.  They are described at the bottom of this link: http://lifehacker.com/five-best-travel-routers-1452441479 .. And if you'll never use the wired connection, and know nothing about networks, this one is the best: Edimax N150 - http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-Wireless-Personal-Hotspot-BR-6258nL/dp/B00ADHPP6Y

  13. Twice.  Once I was in the old La Bamba and BB and his brother and a few others were going to Sally's.  I told them I was going with May-exGF and called her to come down from Stringfellows.  She came down dressed like this.  It doesn't look that bad in the pic but the bright orange color made for a long baht bus ride to Jomtien.

    And another time. I took Kad from La Bamba.  I told her to go change as we were going barhopping, and she said "these are my only clothes."  Well, I guess dinner a the Marriott Steakhouse is out. 555

  14. Its so nice you shared beer in Thailand i shared my beer in Philippines.......cheers mate :hi:

    Careful calling Kahana "mate". He is from Arizona which has a high percentage of Indians. I don't think there are too many Pakistanis there but there sure are a lot of Indians. Kahana might even go to the Indian places to play cards, I hear he has a "standing reservation". :)
