Filtered water tanks by Jer425
Hey Everyone, Just curious to know what everyone drinks for filtered water...we're currently drinking Sapuwa, but heard from a friend that he has gotten stomach issues from drinking it. So far we haven't had any problems, but are just wondering if ...
I just came back from doing a trip on the back roads of the Cuu Long, amazed at how many toilets are still situated over ponds.Good to feed the pangasius :). Can't get more organic and ecological food than this! Read More

I presume home is in Viet Nam. If the bidet is for urinatining,then it should be a blackwater hookup,but hey here in Viet nam they have stormwater and sewage sharing the same system.No, it is back in the old country. The house has an separate ... Read More

how many people actually have a bidet.Yours truly does :) , and it is connected to a greywater pipe. It has to do with some particular contraints in home piping system. :cool: (blackwater pipe must have bigger dimension as you know, while greywater ... Read More

You talking about grey water or black water. Grey water is from sinks,showers and floorwastes.Blackwater is water from the toilet. Greywater is no so bad as it doesnt contain urine or fecal matter.Technically, you can have urine in greywater since a ... Read More

PLEASE note the words: VietNam, water than what comes out of the pipes, SaiGon. I limited my reference to SaiGon and VietNam AND 'what comes out of the pipes'. I choose my words carefully. Much of pollution of processed water occurs as ... Read More

Of all VietNam there is no finer processed water than what comes out of the pipes right here in SaiGon.The tap water in HCMC, even though better than Hanoi, is alarmingly unhealthy affecting millions of city dwellers, according to city officials. It ... Read More
Moving To Saigon & Have A Few Questions by Scotsman84
So I'm seriously considering a move to Saigon. Have been living in Bangkok for the past year but they've tightened up the visa situation so it's time to move on. I'm a UK citizen, under 30, and have funds from abroad if it matters ...
If you do find them, I'd like to know as well. On the other hand, if you are willing to expand your criteria to under 40-50 years old instead of 30, then you may have a fighting chance :D. Read More

When people say gik in Thailand they just mean a regular f*ck buddy. Nothing serious. Casual sex when it suits each other with no commitments. Many Thai girls aged 21-35 are open to it in my experience. I guess some may be hoping it leads to ... Read More

DanSF Your question is so ambigious so it is hard for me to give a definite answer. Again gik is a new term, just like the term "hook-up", so it may mean different things to different people. In different forums, people widely disagree ... Read More

But, I don't think the concepts are as accepted as they are in Thai culture. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.From what I have seen, they are as widely practiced in Vietnam as in Thailand. In both countries, they are not practiced among ... Read More

No problem. Ask any Vietnamese (men especially) and they will tell you right away what they mean :-), as those are commonly used slangs, just like their corresponding Thai terms. Read More

Thanks, I know what a gik is. The fact that Thais have such a term (or mia noi), but the Vietnamese do not (as far as I know) should tell you something.喔佮复喙娻竵 [gik]= b峄� nh铆, ch芒n d脿i 膽岷 gia, ... Read More
