Chiang Mai wins,hands down for hospital and civilized amenities i.e. shopping malls fine dining etc. If you get sick in Laos you are screwed! LP is charming and a nice place to visit,but to live is another story! Think carefully about your move!
Wow! What a horrible size font.
Actually it is quite nice. T V is for every one and not all of us have microscopes for eyes.

She wrote this for her BF can not put two English words together, though he is from Singapore.
There is no tourist police station on Petchburi Rd (Petchpuri does not exist).
And Singaporeans look like hi-so Thais, so I doubt the whole story, albeit a good one.

#3860007 Thailand Becoming More And More A Dumping Ground For Foreign Criminals?

thought otherwise
criminals are not necessarily loud offensive or look trash. some criminals are unnoticed, organised, discreet , intelligent, polite and will blend in to the society easily.
in a few decade or so, their offspring will dominate Thailand with the "i can do it" & ":not afraid to die" attitude a genetic advantage gotten from their murderous and organised criminal father.
it's not a crime when there is no guilt, look at the japs, hardworking not afraid to fail, a product of torturers , killers and rapists , occupiers of foreign sovereignty, fathers & grandfathers never put on trial.

Thailand is a wonderful place that I dearly love, but like anywhere there are always pitfalls.
Here are a few things that have really made my life in Thailand a lot easier.
1) Learn to speak (and read and write) Thai. You will never understand Thai people and the culture until you can communicate effectively. You will be ripped off time and time again because your ability to negotiate is fundamentally flawed because - you won't possess the information to make an educated decision.
2) Absolutely never ever rely on other, often well-meaning but dim-witted people to 'help you out' with financial matters, signing contracts, business matters etc. DO IT YOURSELF. It may be a bit of a learning curve, but the knowledge gained will pay for itself in the future.
3) Guys, if you have a girlfriend that you found in some bar, as sexy as she is, just because she speaks Thai, understand clearly that she is thicker than two short planks. You are better off doing your wild hand waving gestures and 'me think that not good' style pigeon English to sort things out than relying on her primary school education and yabba inflicted brain to help you out.
4) Never buy anything you aren't prepared to lose.
5) Go Thai Boxing. You will make lots of genuine friends who don't just like you for a leg up the social ladder. Thai bloke friends are essential to longevity in Thailand, but unless they are after a bit of uphill gardening can often be difficult to meet.
6) Understand that the good things in Thailand are often a product of some of the maybe slightly undesirable things e.g. having the freedom to ride around with no helmet is a product of poor road safety.
7) I could write all day..!

#3735020 Advice Needed On House Repossession
Posted
on 2010-07-07 19:20:56
1) My first bit of constructive advice is, don't send the gf 200,000bht.
2) My second bit of constructive advice is never get involved with the financial problems of Thais you hardly know.
3) Listen to the sister-in-law and repeat after her, not my problem.
4) These scams always have a very short lead date (in this case 2 weeks) to put you under pressure.
5) If you cave-in and offer to pay the loan, make it a condition that the chanote on the house has noted on it that you hold a 200,000bht loan on the home, registered at the land office and you hold the owners copy of the chanote so effectively you own the house, they can't sell or take out another loan on the property, one of the few ways a non-Thai can sort-of hold a property title.
PS
Repossession of a house is very hard for anyone to do in Thailand, very rare, takes years, in other words I don't believe the notice exists or was ever posted on the door. (and if my wife had tried this story on with me, I would have laughed in her face)

I kind of feel for the girls.
They were probably in the middle of catching up on gossip and having a girls moment when two beer gurzoolged buffoons walk up saying 'SAWADEEEE.......KLAP' 'SABAI......DEE..... MAI.... KLAP?"
