Hi
gennisis Please before you post about Sausage King Get your facts right we do not sell mash potato or gravy at 120 Baht We sell at 70 Baht each But we do sell sausage with mash and gravy as a ready made meal at 129 baht. We sell our meals much cheaper and much better quality then the rest. Maybe somebody put you up to this post ??? if you look at our section in Rimping we have put a price list up so customers can see clear our cheap prices before they buy Not like some who sell at Rimping for nearly double our price.

DA: I hope you havent got HMS;it’s not the first time I’ve heard of the disease called hansum man syndrome (HMS) which is why I am thankful that my undeniably less than hansum appearance serves as an adequate barrier to infection. For those who may not be familiar with this debilitating disease allow me to educate you.
HMS is caused by hearing “You hansum man” so often that one begins to believe it. These poor souls find themselves unable to tell the difference between being told they are a hansum man by women hoping to separate them from their money and actually being considered a handsome man by women who have no financial incentive for making such proclamations
As the disease progresses the sufferer may develop a dangerously overinflated ego. If the ego, located between the legs...I mean temporal and frontal lobes, swells large enough it can begin to press against the frontal lobe which will impact his ability to reason. This pressure, if not relieved, may cause the afflicted to begin fancying himself a bit of a ladies man and that young, nubile, attractive women of particular races are genetically more inclined to being attracted to aging, overweight, balding men.
In severe cases the disease causes involuntary bragging about romantic conquests with the sufferer completely unaware that anyone flashing a similar amount of baht can purchase the same experience.
If left untreated the disease will progress to the point where the victim becomes so deluded that he may date and/or marry any young lady willing to satiate his ego with a constant chorus of “you hansum man.”
Interestingly, the disease brings about its own cure. As the victim’s wallet is lightened by said girlfriend or wife, pressure on the coccygeal segment of the spine is reduced which, in chain event like fashion, brings temporary relief to the pressure being applied to the frontal lobe.
Once the victim’s reasoning faculties are restored and his bank accounts drained the body is able to fill the void caused by the rapid deflation of the ego with racism, bigotry, and chauvinism.

If she is there illegally, why not ask her to pay YOU $50k.
She needs a US husband more than you need a Thai wife.

What is "unusual" about these cars is that they (and many more not in the pics) belong to a single Thai person's collection.

Sounds like you can add stomach problems to your DSP claim. How can you say they make it "dam (sic) tough" for people to get payments, when there were 35,000 new DSP recipients last year? Because I criticise an overly generous welfare system doesn't make me a right-wing redneck. I could claim that it's the left-wing bleeding heart liberals that are causing the end of civilisation as we know it.

And you base this on your vast experience in the Industrial Construction business in Thailand?   In fact most of the post here, as said by others, are racist stereotypes that shows more about the members and who they associate with than their actual knowledge of Thai construction.

A few facts, There are currently 100,000’s of skilled Thai tradesmen and Engineers working on major refineries, petro-chemical, offshore fabrication, and industrial building construction on the Eastern Seaboard. These workers over the past 30 years have built literally hundreds of world class plants, facilities, and buildings.

The reason that today, there are far more Pilipino workers overseas than Thai is not about their ability, but the fact that there has been so much work in Thailand there is little reason for skilled Thai person to work overseas.  In 1990’s you were more likely to have Thai workers on an overseas project than Pilipino, but as Thailand went through a long construction boom, their numbers dwindled considerably.

I should also note that the state of the overseas labor recruiting business in Thailand is, in the most part, disgraceful (but then it is in the Philippines as well). In the Philippines, we have setup our own recruiting business and refuse to deal with the myriad of unethical agents that flourish there. I believe that is one reason many Thais construction workers do not try to work overseas, they can work here and do not have to deal with these low life scum that are only intent on stealing from the workers they recruit.

Australia, and particularly Queensland, has huge labor shortage right now, and it is going to get worse over the next 2 years.  The Australians and even the unions (reluctantly) realize this and they continue to make it easier to import labor, both tradesmen and professionals.  

I do agree that it will be difficult to recruit 20,000 Thai workers to go Australia, but that has nothing to do with their ability or skills, it is because for a skilled Thai worker, they do not have to work overseas to make very good money.  

Our company is already setting up programs to try and recruit Thai tradesmen already working for us here in Thailand to work on our projects in Queensland.  As the craft manpower estimates for just our 8 or so Queensland and Western Australia projects is close to 100,000 and Australians cannot fill even 50% of that, we will need to import some serious numbers and Philippines cannot supply them all.  We do not deal with Bangladeshi or Pakistani labor brokers at all as it is impossible to find an ethical recruiter and they do not allow foreign companies to recruit on their own.

This thread is again, nothing more than an opportunity for the usual suspects to bash Thailand based on their experience of having a house built in Nakorn Nowhere or remodeling the bar next door to their usual hangout in lower Sukhumivt or Pattaya.

They are completely ignorant of the fact there is a hierarchy in the construction business everywhere in the world, and the workers they see are at the bottom of it. Any worker with any intelligence, initiative, and skill does not do small residential or commercial work. They move on to the big time, where a certified welder or electrician can make 30-40k THB a month and foremen and supervisors even more.

So, go ahead, have your fun, but what is said here does not in any way resemble reality.

The amount of racism and hatred on this forum is staggering. You would think think a forum about Thailand, based IN Thailand, would bring together people who either live here or appreciate what Thailand has to offer.
Instead it's a forum full of haters.
Mostly bitter, old men, I presume.

Don't be an idiot. It's not a challenge; it's an insult.

She would NEVER ask that shit from any Thai man who is or potentially could be in a position to provide what she's asked you for because 1) she'd be terrified of losing him and 2) he'd probably back-hand her. That she's been so brazen and upfront about it shows she has little or no respect for you. Who knows maybe she laid out her terms like that thinking there was no way on this green earth you'd be daft enough to accept.

Do yourself a favour and leave this one for the older, fatter, more desperate guys she's probably got on the backburner.

that might be true if the aironditioners are not running in cooling mode. if you claim they do i will answer "please don't insult our intelligence!" that's my diplomatic rebuttal.

here's what i actually think:

"i wonder whether forum rules permit postings which are meant to outright bullshit fellow TV-members who are looking for advice."

the poor mans probably in bed now suffering from an  ear/ eye infection and possibly the beginings of Weils Disease from the rat piss sewer that is the moat where most of the idiots acting like 5 year old kids are getting their water from.....they got me yesterday and i smelled a dogs arse all afternoon......if u insist in acting like a retard please fill your gun from the tap....thank you
