Hahahahaha.

Cricket?

Physical and mental endurance and stamina, including better concentration  ??
Willingness to work hard, over an extended period of time, to achieve objectives ??

^^^ In cricket?
They stand around half the time doing nothing or one swinging a piece of wood at a ball ( A bit like Rounders the Americans play - sorry!! World Baseball LOL).

Good joke topic though Posted Image

The problems faced by Thailand, as outlined on countless TV threads, are no joke

One only has to look to the success story of Australia to see the potential benefits from the introduction of cricket

If you think about this more.....there is something that we are all missing.....there will come a point when the Thai's get fed up with the Russians and some of there shady dealings as stated by a few posters.........what will happen then ?
nothing will happen. as long as the Russians spend money they are welcome. and "the shady dealings as stated by a few posters" are basically either shady assumptions by a few posters or perhaps assumptions of a few shady posters... as shady as your opening posting.

Russians are generally far better at corruption than Brits.

A clear case of jealousy.

I understand the laws have relaxed due to a unilateral agreement. One piece carefully concealed in hand luggage. No documentation required. Posted Image

Just in case you didn't pick up on it, this was a joke.

I'm still astonished [and even amused] that any intelligent and lucid individual might follow the likes of a brain-dead wanke_r such as Stickman.

Long, has he expired to contribute anything substantial - outside of the same redundant disconnected stereotypes.

#5242043 Retiring To Thailand

Posted GuestHouse on 2012-04-23 08:37:08

OP you've said you want to retire to Thailand, se your place in the UK, buy some land in Thailand and then spend time until you are 50 and can get a retirement visa and in the meantime save some money.

I'd suggest you sit down with a financial advisor and make a plan.  

Things to discuss:

Capital required to achieve a sustainable retirement.
The change in focus from working life when we build capital to retired life when we need to protect our capital.
If you need to work, a plan for income needs and a contigiency plan in the event that your single days come to an end.
If you don't have your pensiin/retirement funds in place (few people do at 42) then a savings plan to close the gap.

Loose the attachment to buying land.

I'd have to say prostitutes of any variety.

They're the most likely to screw me.

Unless your coming to work as an English teacher, there is no requirement for disclosure for the most part as regards being issued a WP, however employers may require it as part of your contractual conditions.

I am going to apologise now...but cant help sniggering considering what your friend went down for and the job he is coming to do here, considering the reputation of property development companies in Thailand. If he went down for fraud one could suggest he is well qualified for a job in Thailand real estate then

The first thing I though was: Why would someone want to hire a person for this type of job if they've already been convicted of and served time for fraud.?

But then soutpeel reminded me that with the nature of property development in Thailand, having experience in committing fraud is probably a preferable qualification. On the other hand, the employer may want to find someone who did it better by actually getting away with it.

Do us a favour though and let us know which company he works for; just so we all know which company to support (i.e., not that one)

#5137201 Why Dont They Allow Any Of Those Beautiful Issan Girls On The Lakorn Tv Shows

Posted arminbkk on 2012-03-15 22:00:40

Because in general Thai opinion, the tanned Isarn girls are not pretty.......because of that tanned skin.

And that's mostly because of those soaps and what GuestHouse said in his comment.

I will see a gorgeous Thai girl, looking at the total picture, skin tan coming last, and my thai friend will say she is average.....
because of her skin color.

For me, a girl can be pretty, tanned or fair skin.
