Leaving aside the whole issue of what's a person with a million baht in net-worth doing living in Thailand (or any foreign country) to begin with, I'm sure there are many in similar situations. We see it in Pattaya as well. However, they are certainly not going to have much of a warm welcome back in Blighty if they plan to return there. The economy pretty much sucks in most of Europe (ex-Germany and the Scandinavian countries), with 25-40 percent cuts in public sector employment rolls and reductions in "benefits" to boot.

Sounds like to me that many folks didn't do their planning too well or partied too hardy during their abbreviated stays in the LOS. Maybe best to head on over to Rooland as I read that blokes fresh out of high-school can make AU$ 100k per year working in the mining industry. [Tip to get there: Go to Philippines for 6 mos. and find a Filipina nursing graduate to marry and then apply for skilled migration visa to Aus. and piggy-back in as her husband.]

Your little quip about someone with 1,000,000 baht net worth is doing or living in Thailand is not well -taken. People can do whatever they please and can enjoy life with a sense of adventure. You do not have to be a wealthy idiot to have fun in this world. Someday your luck may run out, no matter what your plans where. I do agree life is full of consequences, but life is also full adventure and taking the chance. You sound like a person who would only make a bet in card game if he had 4 aces.


#3924609 500 Baht For An Electric Plug Said The Drunken Bib

First of all, scenery of this major accident:   <_<  ........

Posted Image

Yesterday somewhere in Thailand.

I was leaving the scenario of the Beer Bar heading straight to the parking lot. (No! i wasn't drunk)
How could i? Today is a working day for me so i went off early last night.

Anyhow..

I drove my car out of the parking area knowing there are some noodle shops, Restaurants etc. around me so "Cha Chaaa"
Suddenly i hear a loud noise and in the first place i didn't know what it was and i was a bit startled don't knowing what it was.
Than i guy came out of the restaurant on the left together with a bunch of people (all Thai) stopping my car and saying "I am Police! You not go!" So far so understandable for me. He was in civil but wearing an portable radio equipment and showed me his Police Pass (<--is that how you call it???)

Than he checked all around my car the accident scene. Showing me the broken electric plug i had run over with my car.
Than he explained me (but not in a nice way) that now the noodle shop do not have electric power and the lady could not sell her noodle. I say to my self "this crappy noodle nobody wants to eat anyway"
He added i must replace the electric plug on my costs but because of at this time (11pm) there are no options to get one.
He said in Thai to some of the other "drunk heads" How much you want? He looking at me (yes i am a Farang so pleeeeeeas do OVER charge me for the money" and said 500 Baht i should give him.

I say 500 Baht for this part? This is not fair. This cost not even half at 7/11.
...and of course the drunken BIB said "You go than to 7/11 and buy new one.
I went of to do so but this 7/11 did not sell them.

I came back to the accident scene and all this Thai surrounding me drunk and angry and keep on telling i have to pay 500 Baht.
The lady who owns the Noodle Hovel was screaming at me "I can't sell my noodle because i have no light"
At this time i said to her and to all other present people to come down, there is no need to scream at me and be angry but i notice most of them where drunk incl. the Police Officer.

I gave the over to the Officer to drive with me to the next 7/11 and i buy him a new plug but he refused and said that he would not go with me because of "We have party here, i will not go with you"
I think to my self. "This guy is obviously still in his job. How can he drink alcohol in his his working time??"
A POLICE OFFICER! Saturday night! 11pm! Drunk wile doing his job, kind of!  WTF!  :o

This is not right, not even for Thailand.

So i gave those suckers the 500 Baht not expecting an invoice or what ever and to tired to argue any more and also filed a bit frightened by all this people.

Amazing Thailand
Kap Khun Kap
:jap:

Well I must not be in the "right sense" of mind, whatever that may be, as I've eaten it many times over the past fifteen years and am still alive and kicking.

If you are worried about what an animal eats affecting you via the meat I'd suggest you go vegetarian, but beware the ascaris. :ph34r:  :ermm:

How about the living prawn salad? Now there's something to get your bowels loosened up.

Yes, I ate that as well. Only once though.

Whats The Strangest Thing You've Ever Seen Here? It must be the army killing Red-shirts; because it is NOT possible at all, as the army are instructed NOT to shoot using REAL bullets.
