Here's a paragraph from this week's Stickman column: "For the daring, current reports have it that Soi Nana is crawling with friendly, accommodating ladies. 1,500 baht seems to be the going rate and 1,000 baht may be possible. Bargain. That’s about as cheap as you can reasonably expect prices to be...

I think Joshua is the best boxer of the bunch, however, his chin is suspect and with just a little luck one of the big punchers is going to knock him out. He is not though, as a boxer Joshua is very limited, he is stiff and his movement is poor, he doesn't always stay in the same spot but he tends ...

They underestimated Ruiz Jr, thought it would be a walk in the park KO for AJ and his adoring fan boy groupies ! What they found was a heavyweight with faster hand speed than Joshua and boxing skills to match. Ruiz Jr had an amateur record of 105 fights and only 5 defeats, trained by several top tra...

39.75 Thai Baht to the Pound. No signs of a let up in the strength of the baht ! Or the weakness of the pound.

I went out to a bar in Inverness a few weeks back and there were a whole load of youngsters celebrating a 19th birthday, quite strangely several of them were carrying cereal boxes and eating handfulls of rice crispies and frosties and another youngster was dishing out what looked like the biggest ba...

So how would you advise doing tweny five thousand pounds from UK to Thailand ? Is this a bad idea with Transferwise ? While the fee for that amount is higher than a SWIFT transfer in my experience the exchange rate for TransferWise is enough to cover the difference. I have found the absolute best r...

I understood Stickman sold the website and related intellectual property rights a couple of years ago and returned to New Zealand to live. The purchaser was paying Stickman to keep writing the Stickman Weekly. The purchaser wasn't successful and was apparently losing money. He couldn't afford to pa...

If you click on the photo, it will magnify and orient itself correctly. That small line is an outdoor sensor for a thermometer, not a phone line. I consider the simple setup safer than a double ended plug. You sound like my wife complaining about my wire jungle. Here's another photo for you to crit...

Depends on many factors.

I thought Stickman left and went home ?

so that you can run your house safely on generator power. Some of us don't want to run the entire house on generator power. The electric will be back on in a few hours. Maybe a day in the worst case. Why over-engineer a temporary and relatively (in most cases) infrequent problem? Anyone running a g...

You want the best system then get a generator set up with an automatic change over switch and use a diesel generator.

These guys will provide the full package.

Why do you think certain individuals urged self-sufficiency so often? If you have to rely on the competence and professionalism of others, you will likely be quite often disappointed here. Buy a generator and avoid the uncomfortable stretches at 40+ degrees when the pros at PEA are unravelling thei...

Your post basically portrays bigotry by grouping everyone together as ignorant and bigots because it does'nt match your own opinion.

Also labelling such a huge percentage of the electorate as Squalid shows what a knucklehead you are.

There is absolutely nothing within the system of UK Parliamentary democracy that requires Members of Parliament to vote for the UK to commit economic suicide just to pander to a squalid bunch of stunningly ignorant and economically illiterate bigots. Extract from "The role of the Member" The first ...

Thailand does get a fair bit of negative feedback these days, though i reckon a number of expats have left i dont think its been the mass exodus thats been touted around for a long time.

Laos is an awesome place go as well.

Anything you would recommend in the Issan region ?

What are the opening hours ?
