My insurance broker has just informed me of the following: Please note: All THAI Insurance companies have taken out EARTHQUAKE AND STORM DAMAGES and also FLOOD, according to their re-insurance companies. In my personal opinion this is not a very wise idea, as Earthquake covers also Tsunami damages. So what do you pay premium for, if this all is not covered? Does anybody know of a Thai...

Without ruling this out, I'd love...

You guys make me
hard. TIT & those in the know *touches side of nose with finger* use one of the many special car wash centers located around Bangkok. I'm not telling where these are cos I don't want you lot renting cars & turning up taking all the action. What you do is pay 2,500 baht & a team of girls clean & wash the car, admin sits & watches, when they are done admin gets to pick one girl for a s/t, one round session in a room round back. Fucking aces I'm tellin' you.

Location: Map
Royal City Avenue (RCA) is one of the largest entertainment areas in Bangkok, but as visitors are concerned, probably one of the least know. RCA is a long road hosting a multitude of different types of bars & clubs. It's very much a Thai scene, RCA is frequented by Bangkok’s young, mainly university students letting off steam. Lots of variety of music depending on the bar you visit. Multi-million watt sound systems blast out Thai disco, house, R and B, and ...by Published on 29-03-10 14:40
