I'm planning a visit to Webster within the next two weeks to determine whether or not I might wish to be a student there. I will be in HH from Dec 18-21 2013, and would like to speak with any students, current or past, who live off-campus. I'll buy the bevs if you're willing to talk candidly. I'll p...

Re: Brown and out? Black family in land of stares
I can imagine this churlish specimen parading down a busy sidewalk daring someone to muster the audacity to look in her general direction. A victim of her own making. Why is racism often implied when dark Thai people wish to be lighter, but never when white Europeans wish to be slightly darker? :roll:

Indeed. Why shouldn't everyone else judge this book by it's cover when she so clearly does so herself?I was ready for confrontation.

Re: FireFox Woes and Fixes
Im a miserable neo-Luddite though who thinks mobiles are for calling people up and sending SMS texts and THAT is all. All these tech-savvy new-age gadget-geeks are disheartening. SMS? Wots that?

Brain dead McIlroy uses Open as practice
If you watched him putt INTO a bunker on Friday, you'll understand why the press is eating him alive. You know times are tough for the world’s No. 2-ranked player when he uses a major to prepare for something else. But so it goes these days for a slumping Rory McIlroy, who, after opening with a 79 o...

Re: The Crisis in Thai Buddhism
it would destroy millions of peoples lives. Thais are very good at truth avoidance when necessary. Any uncomfortable aspect of life can conveniently be softened or eliminated by simply believing an alternate truth, otherwise known as a fantasy. They slip seamlessly between reality and fantasy as th...

Re: Possible Theft of Electricity Supply in Cha-Am - What to
On several occasions when I've tried to reduce our electricity consumption, the bill ends up being higher than usual. Leave lights on and use various appliances all the time, and the bill comes down. I know it doesn't really work like that, but it as sure as hell seems that way at times. I've notic...

Re: Hua Hin Harley free zone
Some are more suited to wearing girls panties, drinking a lukewarm shandy, and riding their Wave back to their gaff. They'll sneak in a little "vroom vroom" when they're sure nobody's watching.

Re: Cheap Farang finds out the hard way..pays the ultimate p
Last year on second road I was in a baht bus in Patts and a falang was holding a baht bus up for everyone else because he wanted to pay the 10 baht like his girlfriend paid and not the 20 baht falang price.
