I'm in Laos but make a monthly visa run to Thailand. The countries are very similar but I find Laos better in almost all respects. I would suggest spending at least a couple days in the country. If you have any questions you can PM me or even better, bump my Laos thread.

Me, noidea and Roger Mainfield are on Phuket grinding it out at our SSNL mansion

ZTS5 posts! Woot!

Beware the insane Mericans in Phuket!

I see security breaches...

Where's the M60 pit yo? Imma comin with my scooter assasin squad!

What is the 2p2 name of the French dood who came down earlier this week?

Dood beat me in a 3AM guess that girls age prop bet by 2mos

Also left a rather dislpleased lady at Safari.

Obviously send assault squad in through lower balcony door--you're protected against fire from all upper windows and upper balcony. Sniper team can neutralize exposed targets on upper level.

Hmmm. Good analysis.
Hitch a ride back down here and we'll take em down!
There rich I tell ya! There rich!






OK maybe thr not rich, but thr cool.

I'm cracking up thinking about what would happen if we actually showed up in the middle of the night with balaclavas and airsoft MP5s.

Serious question. What made you decide to live in Laos rather than a developed country?

I moved back to San Francisco about a year ago. I think Degen is back in California too. The good news is, they have hot Thai girls here too

Bring some food (preferably chicken) and I probably wont even notice the guns.
Seriously we're sitting ducks here. Roger couldn't even bring home 4 pizzas without losing 2 of them in a brawl against the pack of mad dogs patrolling the muddy road outside our house!

FBP is his 2p2 nick.
I txted him about what happened at Safari. Apparently he has no recollection of the whole incident. He was kinda (very) drunk too...

ask me anything about living in Laos
Vientiane at least is as developed as most of Thailand. There's every kind of ethnic restaurant, I can order groceries from the internet and have them delivered to my door, there's a modern shopping mall, etc.

so can anyone point me to used motorcycles or new ones in bangkok..
i really want one. asap.

Bangkok is probably not the best place to learn to ride a motorbike. Make sure you get an automatic; you'll have enough to worry about while driving without having to pay attention to switching gears.

My friend has a proper motorcycle but it's not very useful in the city and he's trying to sell it. It's not nearly as maneuverable as a motorbike and is generally a pain if you aren't traveling long distances on highways.

i meant a small 125cc bike/scooters

Should I buy an English/Thai dictionary before I come?

Am I the only one on Khao san rd. in a sub 1K b room?

Paul B. iam currentlz in Thail;and too and stay for a long Time.

If anyone is interested flying to the APPT 2,5k event in macau from BKK mail me.

Iam now in nanatai Mansion cause I cant money, I have a 6 figuere online and almost 10k on my Giro but onlz have 5K Baht here in cash. )-:

cu later guys

alright expats help me out please.

trying to decide on a take the gf away type vacation. preferable somewhere chilled and nice beach in the day then nightlife on the night. for example Ko Samui staying on the chilled side then going to Chaweng on the night would be ideal but i don't want to do Samui again.

so options i have come up with so far are either Ko Chang or Krabi then phi phi. Chang seems to be winning out of those as from travelfish it seems krabi has no nightlife and phi phi is going to suck with the amount of tourists around christmas time.

so, which do you guys think is better and any improvements on this? also visited and don't want to revisit ko tao, ko pang yang, pattaya, phuket.

thank you.

Check out my Bangkok bike. VFR 750 with MotoGP body kit. I had it for a couple months then sold it. It was fun but pretty quickly it wore off and it was just impractical for the city. Sounded killer though.

beats where can i find one of those
craigslist is empty.
