thanks doc my thoughts exactly. also, unlike some people, i am not quick to judge. how anyone could assume they could read my mind from the OP is beyond me. read stickman this week and a reference was made stating that african's were being pushed out of bkk soi 2-4 by police and were swarming into ...

slight addendum to my last post. I thought that after making a statement that most of the posters on this topic appear to be racist, that I should actually read the thread in full. Thankfully most of you have reacted to some of the stereotypical racist sentiments expressed. Good for you. Happy to li...

This is one of the most racist threads I have read in a long time. (Well to be honest, I half-read them, and when I think I can sense the sentiment of the poster and it is racist, I move to the next one. We all know people from different countries and continents as teachers, sportsmen and sportswome...

sorry I meant LOL is now overused. I didnt mean not.

If you suggest to the police that they better send a 20 year old girl next time, you might easily be misunderstood its not often I laugh at a computer screen, but cheers Roel, that made me laugh out loud. I think LOL is not overused. I actually laughed out loud, not just LOL'd. Cheers GLC, Im not m...

True, but a 40 year old farrang man would probably find it more difficult to say no to the 20 year old Thai girl Pleng, I agree. If they had two types of collectors they might do a bit better. A sweet 20 year girl collecting from the Farang Community with the neccessary proof of collection etc and ...

Ive just been to the bank. I called to the bank where the account came from. It was the light blue bank. Krung Thai. The account number matches an account for the 'Soldier Police and Civil Association in Bangkok'. The bank said the account is geniune and an individual would not be able to setup an a...

It should be simple to check this out. If the charity is geniune then they will have office in Bankgok. By keying into Google the name of the charity on the top of my receipt, I found the following link (but Im not allowed post the link). Just google 'Solider Police and Civil Assiciation in Bangkok'...

Thanks Buksida for your link. Yes it is exactly the same charity. I can see from the posts in that topic that some of you considered it a scam. The only difference now is that they seem to be happy to give you their bank details. I will go to the bank now and check what details on the account before...

Hi I have just had a visit from two police. White t police t-shirts, ID cards, Brown trousers, Unmarked grey car. I live very near Soi 114 at the south end of town. They are collecting from local houses for the Solider Police and Civil Association in Bangkok. They were not slow in walking into my ho...

and sorry, when I say investment, I really mean just giving money to my wifes family. Im not trying to make money here. My use of the word Investment sounds a bit crude in this context. But it would be nice if they thought a little outside of the box to everyone else in their neighbourhood and could...

Thanks again SteveG. At 14 baht per kilo, if they reach their target of 33 x 80kg bags, give 6 for the rent of the land and sell all at an average of 14 baht per kilo, then they would realise 30,000 baht for the single harvest. Ive reduced the cost of sale figure a bit since my original post, so thi...

Bingo Bongo, SteveG, H20Dunc, Kendo thank you for your quick replies. They are a good help to understanding the situation. Anyone else, even if your experience is the same as theirs or different, or you have any hard info on price per kilo from last year etc, then please add to this topic. I like th...

Hi. Im looking for help from expats married or supportive of thai wife who come from Issan and whose parents own or rent farm for rice, or you yourself own one. You may have helped financially in the past or now have experience of helping to run the farm. Please don’t answer if you don’t have experi...
