    @HoudiniXLogic Nice read, 8 in 2hrs is still a good catch! I had yet to catch 8 in 2hrs with 1 rod.

    The shrimps seem to feel excitement haha, those grannies are calm so they will bite more i guess ????

     

    They bite really slow, the small ones are the hardest to catch. The big ones will begin to slowly let the bait enter their mouth, and will then agressively jerk on your rod. A barbhook is a musthave for us. But pros can get by with a regular hook.

    Pretty much. Now lots of tackle makers sell those 7-hooks. The shrimp fishing is really more of a subculture within the Thai fishing community, I’ve talked to other fishermen and most of them consider it to be quite hard (actually its because they end up being the noob at the shrimp pond while theyre usually champs at fishing parks, its not “losing face” but rather they have to start all the way from the bottom and build up their “face value” reputation all over again). 

  2. I’ve fished the Bang pakong river for them with a guide before. Its a totally different game to fishing normally. First and only time I did it I kept setting the hook and losing the prawns, but by the end of the day I had understood the gist of it enough to catch a few myself. You gotta let the prawn grab the bait and put it into their mouths. 

     

    However I spend a few evenings at the prawn pond by Ladprao-Wanghin 78. Its a nice place to drink beers and fish for prawns. Theres a group of Thai grandmas that like to go there and they seem to be masters at it. On a good day I might catch 8 in the 2hrs that I’m there, but those grandmas spend an hour there and haul up around 15 to 20.

  3. How sad. Another reminder how little these people think about concequences.

    What consequences?

    A slap on the hand and a 500 baht fine?

    A 500 baht fine for murdering 2 children? Clearly you don't have children yourself, not that that's an excuse for such an utterly vile post.

    Hang your head in shame.

    Theres a difference between a foreigner who doesnt understand Thailand and wants to learn, and a foreigner who is so selfish that they refuse to understand Thailand and refuses to learn.

    that 500 baht quote really showed you for what you are.

  4. All of them are probably partying at Demo Thong Lor or something similar. If not, then they're probably sleeping in their comforable bed waiting for a comfortable breakfast cooked by their maids.

    I use to have friends like this when I was a teenager. I dont know how they live with themselves. Seeing as the way they talk to their maids and the cooks, I would never dare have a meal at their house. I will never <deleted> with the people who handle my food, but apparently they dont understand that.

  5. Why can't the arrogant red shirt fools understand that the protests will only continue up to and after the election if they place a Shinawatra in the PM or any position?

    The Shinatwatras must leave politics for calm to return to Thailand.

    because having Yingluck resign is a huge loss of face for them. You know how much face-value is in this society. But too bad that they dont have the balls for seppuku...

  6. 7-11 is the biggest proof of the laziness and incompetance of Thai people. One time a bunch of my buddies went into 7-11 during peak hours, there were 5 counters, around 9 - 10 employees (mind you this is one of the bigger 7-11s), and only one counter open and one employee working, while the rest were pretending to do something (but in reality they were just on their phones). After I asked them (in Thai, mind you), they just gave me a disgusting look and said some shit, then the rest just went to the back room leaving the one person to do all the work, with a good 20 other customers in line.

    Needless to say, after they went to the back, we just took the beers and left. Management isnt gonna be too happy about a ton of missing beers from the stock.

    You and your mates need a bye bye stamp in your passport and a heavy (leaving fee to pay) S##t people.

    Complain to the manager about the staff--or NOT shop again would have been in order. Sounds to me like you already were tanked up to think of doing this, or an upbringing disorder.

    Wow you're cool!

    That 7-11 staff deserved it also. And it probably sucks for you to know that I'm gonna be here way longer and that I dont need a visa to stay here at all. And I'm staying here LEGALLY. figure it out, chav

  8. When will the dumbasses in charge learn that criminals need to be punished and rehabilitated, a simple slap on the wrist and a few nights in the slammer won't change a dam_n thing !!!!!! RIP to the victim of retards....

    nah the only thing their wrists need are to be removed by an axe. sometimes, that might be the only way to actually prevent them from wanting to repeat the crime. They ended the life of another human being, so I guess they dont deserve to be able to own human hands and human opposable thumbs.

  9. I've never had a problem with the motorcycle taxi's ever. I guess I'm not as anal about strangers bugging me (completely desensitized to everything now), so when the Taxi guys ask me "pai nai, pai nai?" while I'm walking past, I'll say "Pai 7, Pai mahalai (university), Gub baan, Pai hongnarm, etc" and usually its a small chuckle and they reply "Pai leiiii (go ahead)".

    Theres this one dude who's always baked, and even though theres definately a mental delay when he speaks, he's sharper than a scalpel when he's behind the wheel. If anything, the Govt needs to make a more official motorbike taxi-stand.

    And set up the random pylon in the middle of the sidewalk to make it much much harder for motorbikes to get through. Like the ones they have by CDC.

  10. Ramkamhaeng is a funny example of a bad footpath. On the side of the even-numbered sois (ramkamhaeng uni side), the footpath is pretty walkable with vendors being far between, and theres an area by Rajamangala Stadium where vendors can set up shop and not obstruct the footpath. There are spots where I can ride my skateboard for a good length without some kind of mess-up.

    On the Odd numbered soi side, however, is a completely different story. By the road are vendors lined up and taking up nearly half the footpath, and on the other side are rented shops extending their sale products into the footpath even more, and thats to the point where theres only enough room for 2 people to walk side by side. If you have a backpack on, forget it and go walk on the street.

    As annoying as they are, sometimes you just see the right thing you want to eat.

  11. Respect to that. I would've done the same thing.

    I remember walking down Sukhumvit (between soi 12 and 8) with a few friends of mine, and there was a cop check and they were checking everybody (including a couple hookers who they looked into handbags). When they checked me and my friends, thy just searched my pockets and cigarette packets. Good thing I had a couple of Thai friends with me, and even though they were searched also, they kept just spouting off random funny stuff, during the pad down the cop had his hand over my buddies crotch, and my buddy said "P' rawang na krub, deaw Phom arom keun." (P' be careful, I might get an erection). When they were done, I asked them if they wanted to search my shoes and sock, and their faces turned into disgust at the prospect of having to search the stinking and rancid shoes of 5 sweaty skateboarders. After they they just shoo'd us off.

    Try making them search your shoe, not many will risk their face value for that.
