Stop whining and start doing. In addition to demanding politicians and civil servants end their corruption, we should ourselves stop cheating by circumventing, bending or breaking the rules in everyday life. We also must build a system we can trust and create rules we can rely on. We can all change the world by first changing ourselves. Truth and trustworthiness, those are the values we should aspire to.

Sustainable ways to wipe out hunger by Hypersonic missiles are a needless complication. Don't give up. I came to Thailand eight months ago and currently reside in the city of Korat. I can honestly say that I have yet to meet a Thai woman who is honest. The sad thing is that a lot of them truly believe that I am unaware that they are lying to me.
I'm 39 years old and have had a lot of experience with Thai women. It is a fact, they do NOT love the Farang. They are looking for some lovesick white man to take care of them. And it is sad that most of them will sell their soul to find a farang.
These women lack integrity, education, ethics, etc. I am totally convinced that lying is a an accepted part of the Thai culture. They think only of their daily needs and nothing else. They are the most impatient people I have ever met. Take a look at how they drive. I'll let you know soon when that'll be, I'm in the process of booking right now. I'm dying to meet our lady SCTers in person ;- See you soon.
NW airlines is all screwed up with the strike right now. Hepcat is anxiously awaiting me to sell him some vouchers cheap, and Tom Orwitz E mailed me advising me to wait and see what happens after the strike, so I am waiting. Gypsylilly: I wish Lily knew when Lily was going for sure! I have to use my mileage and vouchers before Dec.
I breed tropical fish and currently have 4 spawns which require my fastidious attention. I cannot find a fish sitter. Let's see what happens Maybe the parents will eat their babies, maybe I will sell them all quickly, maybe I will meet a marine biologist who wants to housesit. Lily: I think I was in that place, It was amazing! It is a giant building where you shop for your own food and then give the cooks explicit directions on how to cook it.
Am I Right? The place looks like a giant theme park, and lots of Japanese eat there? Is that the place you are talking about, around Sukhumvit Soi 33? I usually can't stand it there. Lily: Well, where will you stay when you visit? I bet that Marc could pre sell every room in his hotel if he had all the female SCTers coming.
How about it, Gina, Busakorn, Leeloo and Pungaroi? I know I spelt that wrong? Who else is there? What if we have another SCT meeting, this time with more women and held in Pattaya?
Lawerence D.? Who could come? How many of the stars in the SCT constellation would come out and shine on that glorious night? Music, mystery and madness at the Welkominn!
Jurgen will be settled in by then, he could come I really would love to meet him! Boy oh boy, doesn't this just sound like a terrific party? I'll bet it would be priority seating, a line at the door, and standing room only in the bar. For my own protection, just in case Rumpel decides to show up, I would need Marc to hire an armed security team, and get a bomb sniffing dog ; - Now come one everyone, you must admit, this is an intriguing idea Get out your fancy party clothes!
How about entertainment? We could have Imba do a talk and a slide show presentation on life in the Thai underworld red light districts Hey, this could be so much fun You still could be, but this meeting idea sounds like way too much fun Marc, is this possible?
How many would show up? Lots I bet. Come on boys and girls, should we do it? Could we do it? Do you want to do it? OH, Lets do it!! Nujaree: Will post again. Lily: Me too. Ideas, Suggestions, availability dates We could have a fabulous time! Don't you think? Sober me up if this is all too crazy! Sounds like great fun indeed. I'm not much of an entertainer myself, I'm afraid, but I'm looking forward to whatever gigs you guys and gals can come up with.
I promise to be an attentive audience. Let's keep in touch. What I normally do, is stay a few days in BKK and then go taang jangwad, travelling around most of the time. I then do a last week or so in Pattaya to get some tan. For this year, however, I want a very quiet and simple set-up, because I really need a good long rest.
But I certainly do plan some little trips away from Pattaya, after I have "come down" properly. For example, there are a few friends in BKK that I must go see. They would not forgive me if I don't spend at least some days there. But I have not made any fixed arrangements yet. So I will be using Pattaya as "base camp" for the whole 4 weeks.
Just let me know who organises what and where I can reach you. Kind regards to all,. Hey, what is this? An invitation for only these seven people mentioned by name? Lob Bird. I'll be in Bangkok from beginning October until end of April - apart from a few breaks I'll take : the slideshow will be replaced by live performances still have to find a good performance partner doing my thing on stage, Lilly.
Might see you over there Kind regards, Imba, s k y n e t dot b e. Why not you my dear Wasant? If I well remember you did organized the 4th July meeting in Bangkok and it was a success. For this I can give you an hand Look forward to seeing you both in action. Put me down for a front row seat. Should learn a few things anyway, if I can remember them in the morning.
Count me in. I would rather not as I am in a difficult project right now until the april next year. But I can participate during the week-end. Regards wasant May you. My, my my! You people from Belgium are a wild lot aren't you? I have little doubt that you doing your thing on stage would be the most amazing sight most of us excluding you have ever seen on a stage anywhere.
Should learn a few things. If you want me on stage, I could do a dance number, a seminar on sexual dynamics, or appear in a whats my screenname segment After the tallys are taken, the "real" GypsyLilly would stand. Imba has promised to exhibit the talents which have made him so popular among the red light districts. He simply said he was going to have to find a good performance partner, Lily He has already stated in a previous post that I am not his physical type.
Besides, I prefer lovers not studs. I'd love to see you John, and your wife. I am not promising any on stage live nude action. Marc, What are the obvious reasons? At least some part of the SCT extravaganza must be held at your place! What about the dancing or the stage shows? Plus, rememeber, I am bringing my suitcases loaded up with lingerie which you are going to find me bodies for, we have to incorporate this somehow into the mix. My main concerns about the party are identifying fueding factions and channeling the agressive flame war energies into entertaining and exciting fun Please explain why the Welkom is to be exluded.
I can hardly wait to meet you and yours so I can give you a big kiss and your boys a big hug! Well, Wasant, it would be wonderful if you would, it looks like the time is starting to take shape now to around the winter solstice What if we tryed to get a group discount rate in a nice hotel somewhere near Pattaya so we could visit Marcs at some time during the weekend.
I personally think it would be fun to make it a weekend and to be able to rest, bathe,and clothing changes like on a cruise ship between the different events like games, dinner, dancing etc. What do you think? Am I too Grandiose? Or do you think that sounds like an absolute blast? Maybe Mr. Planet Holiday can help with some deep rate cuts at a very nice hotel.
There are substanstantiall discounts for groups correct? Thailand is still in recession Just some ideas Hi Lily, You make it difficult for Marc to speak for himself, so I will try for him if I am misinterpreting Marc, he will certainly let it be known in some way My guess is that: 1.
Marc in his modesty is afraid to make too liberal use of this newsgroup to advertise for his hotel. It is true that we all have problems with commercial content in this ng, so we should applaud Marc for restraining himself so much in this respect. BTW, the Secret Squirrel already did a good enough job for him ;- 2. Marc is afraid that the feuds that have developed in the ng would come to an open confrontation on his premises. I can understand why he would not like to have any big SCT happening, after what we have seen in the past months.
Sad but true. So I suggest that the SCTers wishing to be part of the great come-together in December if it is going to happen at all organise themselves in some kind of mailing list, and at least take some of their discussions there. I am thinking about discussions concerning where exactly to stay and where to organise any common activities.
Is anybody willing to centralise all information? I will be there as well in Dec, but after my badly rewarded efforts of last year, I don't feel like playing a central role now. Anyone wishing to see me, feel free to e-mail me, but if some real big happening is to be organised, let some volunteer please step forward now Just my 2 satangs, Joris. Let's start it again. We want a nice and simple get together, no hassle, no debating, no seduction as most of us are married and love our family to death ,no name calling.
Just a simple meeting. We may or may not go out to drink and dance together later on. If we like the group enough, we can continue our friendship by having lunch or having a seafood cook out together.
These plans can be changed, as the time comes. If Marc is uncomfortable to host his event at his resort, we can get together somewhere else. Of course, every one is still invited. Anybody has any place in mind? I know someone who works at Novotel in Rayong who may get the room for us with some discount. What do you think about that? Let me know if you would like to give it a try.
Also we don't have to stay at that particular hotel, but the discussion or the union may take place over lunch or something. Opinion, please. Then we will forget about every thing. If it is an informale meeting, I have nothing against hosting it I would even be very pleased to meet more than a few of you.
Meanwhile if it should become a large meeting, I think it would be better not to have me hosting it. Moreover some of these people are people I respect very much and who I would like to meet. The problem with Rayong is that it s far from Pattaya and some will not be able to find the resort or think to expensive to rent a taxi to get there. I beleive that the best is to find a place in Pattaya But first we should know how we want to meet I have one suggestion: As there are already around 10 to 15 people who would like to have a meeting between October and January BUT no one except the ones who live in Thailand and Imba?
Marc Welkom Inn The smallest resort in Pattaya wel If we decide that we could. You are right Nujaree, I am sorry. Too excitable a personality. My old instincts for publicity, event ideas, themes and organization just kicked in Would you make up your mind? But now i feel thankful for this slang , if it can wake every Thais up and fix those problem.
Also tell the thai politician that every in the world knows what u guys been doing. Thai people, rightly or wrongly, have something of a reputation outside Thailand for lying in everyday life — think in relationships, for example. Thai is represents Thai people. Sorry to say that. If would get one Baht for all the times, these people lie to me, I would have at least a million.
They always will tell you another price than a Thai person. They do not treat foreigner as equal person, they call us Farang. Which is an inpolite discrimination.
In their heart they very fascist, I have prove and evidence for it. It is not an impolite term, but a nick name to differentiate White man with other race such as Indian or Chinese Thai defines a unique terms to call them too. Stopping corruption in Thailand, i think, will also need to increase the salary of the poorly paid cibvil servants. Thai civil servatns are poorly paid!!
U can req some thai ppl help u who pass there So some thai ppl kind n want help I m the one person who always help foreigners I wanna say ur welcome But when u req some thai ppl , i know the less of thai ppl can speak english , try to see who wear good dress like worker at company or office They will look clean , cleaver We also sad about this big corruption But not all of thai ppl will lie. I completely agree. Only a small minority of expats are anti-Thai, Ploypilin.
Unfortunately they get a wide coverage on many of the forums. I was told to baht for spare parts. They insisted it would be cheaper to buy a new phone.
I spent several minutes trying to convince them to have a look and see what they could do. A guy in the back room said something so the counter staff took my phone to him.
No charge. Now I know this is an overly broad statement, but even my previous boss took it as normal to double to quadruple the price for a foreigner. There ARE honest Thais. I have regular dealing with ONE of them. Skip to content Daily Life.
