About Me
My Thai partner and I were married during Loy Khrathong this year and have been together for almost eight years. I found ThaiVisa Forum while doing internet searches for ways to learn about Thailand and Thai language and culture. We make our home in Phetchabun province, although we are actually closer to the city of Phichit than to the city of Phetchabun.
I've worked in the engineering and technology fields for many years, and currently work in the data center business. I've lived and worked in many countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and am currently working stateside.
In no particular order, I believe:
- everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.
- that left alone, the free markets will solve more problems and better serve the public at large than any government.
- that governments should be in the business of governing, not in the business of running businesses.
- government lotteries are just another way to get the poor man to pay taxes.
- people should generally be left alone to do what they want to do, so long as they don't cause any harm or imposition to me or anyone else.
- in the "Free to Choose" teachings of the late, great Nobel laureate Dr. Milton Friedman ( http://www.miltonfri...n.blogspot.com/ ).
- in the small government, libertarian views of the great economist Dr. Walter E. Williams ( http://www.gmu.edu/d.../economics/wew/ ), especially his lectures on "Economics for the Citizen" and his enlightening documentary "The State Against Blacks."
- the social, political, race and economic insights and commentaries of the great Thomas Sowell ( http://www.jewishwor...ols/sowell1.asp ).
- the concept of man-made global warming is the biggest fraud being thrust upon free societies today (and the last several years of weather trends are proving this to be correct).
- in the concept of Pascal's Wager ( http://en.wikipedia....cal's_Wager ).
- the United Nations is one of the most corrupt fraudulent organizations in the world.
- America is rapidly heading toward socialism like western Europe.
- the American constitution and its amendments (The Bill of Rights) are some of the most important documents in the history of men.
- that after almost two years of trying to destroy America from within by leftist bullying tactics, Barack Obama has just been given a political wake-up call. I'm betting that he will continue to let his hard-leftist ideology dominate over common sense the the will of the American people, and that he will be tossed out of office in a landslide defeat in two years.

One Night In Bkk, What To Do?
2012-01-01 09:55:24
Scheduled to be in Bkk for overnight visit, side trip from business in Singapore. Wifey and her daughter will come in from Ayutthaya to spend Friday Jan 13th and Saturday Jan 14th with me. Other than the usual shopping 'n stuff (yawn), can anyone recommend something unique and family-centric to do on Friday evening? Concert? Show? Thanks in advance for any suggestions & Happy New Year!
Tiger Air, Singapore To Bkk
2011-12-16 23:42:57
Hi All,
Work stateside but will be in Singapore for business in Jan and Feb, which provides an opportunity to hop over to Bkk for a couple of days to see my family. Tiger Airlines appears to be the best choice for cost and schedule, but I'm on a relatively tight and fixed schedule for when I can depart and when I need to be back to catch my return flight to the states.
Would be grateful for any feedback on reliability, on-time depart/arrive, cancellations, general customer services, etc., with Tiger. This would be my first time flying with them, and I'm trying to determine if paying more to fly Thai Airways is worth it for added chance of on-time departures and reduced chance of cancellations.
Thanks in advance for replies.
Cheers,
Spee

Western Hooch, Where To Buy In P'Lok?
2011-10-25 18:37:30
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get western alcohol brand name whiskey, vodka, gin, etc. in Phitsanulok? Same goes for mixers such as quinine/tonic water. TIA for any replies.
Taxi Service, Suk To Dm
2011-10-23 17:39:55
Does anyone have any reports on taxi service from Sukhumvit hotel areas to Don Mueang? I heard some reports about people parking their cars on the overhead tollway to avoid flooding. Are taxis running? If yes, how much delay? Arriving on the 5th and flying out of DM on the 6th. TIA for any replies.
Catering/Open Pit
2011-05-25 07:13:37
Does anyone know of any catering businesses in P-lok, Phetch-city of Phichit areas that could handle a wedding party of perhaps 60-80 people? Even better if they could also do something like a side of beef or whole hog open pit style. The location would be at my house in western Phetch province, just after the Loy Khrathong holiday later in the year.
Same goes for any suggestions for entertainment. We're thinking of some traditional Thai dancing in the late afternoon and some music in the evening (DJ/karaoke ok, but preferably a live band). Any agents or points of contact for hiring these kinds of performers?
TIA for any replies.
