Hello,
I didn't quite understand the status system in forum :)
tuk-tuk driver, motodop, backpaker, flashpacker etc.
Is status depend on number of messages?

Hi Vlad,

Or should I say noodle lady? ;-)

You're correct, the status titles are tied to the number of posts -- nothing more nothing less. Every now and then I change them, but at the moment they're as follows:

newbie
longtail driver
backpacker
motodop
flashpacker
noodle lady
tourist
tout
hippy
beach masseuse
traveller
tuk tuk driver
adventurer
som tam seller
tour guide
monk
under-employed
bored expat
saddhu
mahout

I could tell you how many posts each requires, but that would take all the fun out of it :-)

Hey Somtam

I feel ripped off - I segued fom newbie to backpacker to traveller and am now earning my keep as a tuk tuk driver - sucking in all that carbon-monoxide for so many posts(isn't that a downgrade!!!) - how come I missed out on the fun stuff???? (i.e. noodle lady [love cooking food], hippy [love opposing the establishment], beach masseuse {love skin contact - but no fatties please).

I think I am ready to step up to the role of (Da Da Da Dah - Da Da Da Dah!) ..."ADVENTURER"

But feel free to continue to keep me in the dark regarding number of posts required.

Marian,

Is that offer for the beach massage still good?

As for me, I'm now selling made-to-order som tam near the corner at MBK. I try to warn the tourists, but they say they want it spicy, just like the Thais.

I think you can tell from my posts on beer that I won't make a good monk. I'm looking forward to those grand levels ahead of under-employed and bored expat. Regards.

Exacto

I think to be a beach masseusse you need a beach! - no way my arms can stretch to MBK. I'm aiming for under-employed - bored expat sounds a tad colonially pompous.

ciao

Plus I can't see myself with dreads, ashes and wearing orange (wrong skin tone) - so not aiming for saddhu.

Mahout...? Have you seen 'The Protector' Thai/Aust martial art movie starring Tony Jaa? Good stuff with lots of familiar scenery for an ex-Bangkok resident!

háblele pronto
