I'm now happily ensconced in a new apartment, and hoping to bother the landlord in the same way. 😛

I have to agree with Chris though, what your friend did was certainly uncalled for. Then again, what your friends do is out of your hands so it's not like it was your fault. Oh well, people make mistakes. Love the photos and the guys message to you.

That would be just about the most apt Thai movie ever.

You've gotta love Thais though. With some of the things they say in English they have no idea how funny they are.

"I am Wattana". Now I'm going to have visions of a little Muay Thai fighter running around Bangkok with his boxing glove in one hand and pen and paper in the other.

Absolutely classic. Thanks for the laugh 🙂

He swears he didn't break it, and when you consider the advanced state of dishevelment my building is in, it very well could have broken on its own, as most things there are wont to do. Although I guess that when one of the elevators finally crashes to the ground due to neglect, a camera inside would come in a bit handy… 😀

But in all fairness, what your friend did was kind of douchey, don't you think? Besides, eventually it's the other residents that will have to cover the expense of replacing the camera. If I were in charge of the building, I'd be pissed too.

Everyone knows F.U. is not exactly the most polite English expression, despite their endearing usage including the first-person-pronoun. Too bad Watana was not a girl, you could have taken her up on the offer.
