BANGKOK, Oct 11 (TNA) The water level in Thailand's Chao Phraya River as it is flowing through the upper central province of Nakhon Sawan has hit its highest level in the 60 years such data has been recorded, posing a flood threat to the kingdom's lower provinces, including Bangkok, the capital.

(From New York Times, Oct. 8, 2006) IT was another Tuesday night at the Londoner, a popular Bangkok pub where expatriates, tourists and Thai regulars were, as usual, bellying up to the bar, downing pints and chatting amid a dense haze of smoke. Outside, the rain was falling; inside the topic of conversation was the military coup that had overthrown Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra the week before.

I recently flew both coach and business class on NWA Airbus 330 equipment. The seats are comfortable and entertainment systems excellent. The food? I've had worse but it's nothing to write home about. The good news: More 330's are on order as are 18 Boeing 787's. The 330's are used on routes between West Coast cities and Narita, and also on the Narita-BKK route. 330's are also used on some flights to Europe. The first 787's are expected to operate on the Detroit-Narita and Minneapolis-Narita route.

The jet eventually reached its destination safely after a five-hour delay at Suvarnabhumi and lengthy arguments between passengers and airline representatives. One of the 94 passengers, Anothai Polsuwan, 40, a lecturer at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, said they boarded at 9.35am and after half an hour into …

Buddha's Lost Children Buddhas Lost Children (2006) Directed by Mark Verkerk Buddhas Lost Children is a documentary but it watches like a movie. It tells the story of a Thai-boxer becoming a monk called Phra Khru Bah and taking care of orphans in a very poor region in the north of Thailand. Although the story is not always logical to follow because there are jumps in time and space the real story being told here is that of love, dedication and sharing. It may sound soft but when you take the time to watch this documentary you'll find out that life over there is very tough and it takes a lot of creativity and flexibility to take care of the many children Phr…

Very busy lately in Pattaya's Sunee Plaza and lots of farangs in town.. Last couple of times at Or Ah Han Thai restaurant, the place was full.. This popular Thai restaurant is full of gay farangs and their boys and has excellent Thai food at very reasonable prices.. This is another sign of end of low low season.. Party atmosphere is Sunee is catching on and it is party time in Pattaya.. Fortunately, discretion has taken over on the forums and everyone can have a great time without the screaming, the scheming and public announcements of cheeky going ons.. Sunee fun again..

That's very interesting. As you may recall, a Thai immigration official had said that if Karr is not convicted of anything, then he would be welcome to return to Thailand. Here's the story: _____ SANTA ROSA, California (AP) A judge dismissed child pornography charges Thursday against former JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr after prosecutors said they didn't have enough evidence to take the case to trial. Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Rene Chouteau ordered Karr released immediately. So ended Karr's strange, bringing two-month odyssey through the U.S. criminal justice system. It began when he was extradited from Thailand on s…

Tonight I had a strange experience. I had a Thai guy in my home and he did not shut the door. He was taking a leak in the toilet except he was not standing up. He was sitting down. That in itself is not odd. However, he was sitting facing the back of the toilet and on the edge of the seat. He was peeing the same as one stands up except he was sitting down. He then used the water douch to clean his cock. I thought that was pretty cool. I guess I would try the same thing except I can't fit on the toilet that way. I tried but feel down backwards. Not a pretty sight.

A fellow farang was concerned during a recent visa run, since he was one day overstay.. I thought it was no problem as when I overstayed one day before, flying out of the country and there was no charge.. But, I learned that if it is a land crossing, you must pay 500B. even for the first day..Message is don't overstay even one day unless you don't mind paying ...
