Parvis....Thankyou indeed for this information.I am thinking to contact them and like you said, to take trial class. It is a good price and the info you have told does sound like this school good for someone who has already some Thai but want to get better as well as get the ED visa.

Thank you for your help. I will also message you again after i have gone and report what experiences i have

Hello All

I recently see this advert for the Thai language school SANDEE in Bangkok.

It has very professional look website and seem to be one of the less expensive school available here, with 200 lesson in one year for 18k baht.

My question is for anyone on Thaivisa...who go to or know about this school...any experience to tell of please advise if they have the good teaching method and/or if any problem.

thankyou

I agree with many poster here,also i not like to ask because have got so many wrong answer and sent in wrong direction so often, and given wrong info.

If you ask for direction and speak Thai a little you csn ask people "have you ever been to ...?

Only if they say yes do you ask for the direction

I think you wrong on the one detail,when the Thai call you farang kee nok it because bird shit is white and fall from the sky just like when you fall from plane and land in thailand

another think...I always to eat lot of cheap food on street and no person call me the kee niow name.maybe your clothes are old and make you to look poor

He did get robbed by lady thai and think his stuff safer at police station?????

Maybe godd idea and i leave laptop at policestation when stay in Thailand

I think this is a wind up, but nevertheless I will respond anyway.

A few facts that may save a guy a fortune and a lot of emotional trauma.

Cute girl sends out signals to a guy that she likes him.

After spending a passionate evening with her and a night of lovey-doveyness with and perhaps the best sex the guy has had for years, or maybe his first time, he becomes smitten and can hardly believe his luck.

He holds her hand and listens intently to her pitiful hard luck stories and then wants to be her knight in shining armour, to the rescue, at any price, dreaming that at last he has discovered a true soul mate and love of his life, believing in a dream the guy decides to invest in her for a good future.

This is how it begins and of course in most cases the result will turn out completely different to the guy's expectations.

Three major clues that will determine if the girl is not sincere and giving a guy a load of BS:

* Most of her problems can only be solved with money.

* The girl is not willing to give up any of her usual social schedules to be with the guy.

* Appears to have many relatives, friends, acquaintances or colleges that she prefers to keep to herself and separate from her so-called relationship with the guy.

It`s very simple. If a girl really likes or loves a guy, she will unconditionally follow him anywhere with no strings or provisos attached.

Her main ambition in life will become solely to be with her man without any financial stipulations and social limitations. She should in fact be proud and keen to show off her new boyfriend and let everyone know that he and she is now an item.

If this is not the case, then dream on baby, because it`s going to cost you dear and you are wasting your time.

Now, would I lie to you?

This is very kind words and and smart thinking instead of just to say OP is a silly fool.Have to agree with beatlejuice 100% BUT please do tell me if this girl does really exist? and where to find??

One thing i learn about lady like this...she not stop taking money from whoever man will be around.If you to ask this brit guy if HE does trust her then he will pobable to say same as OP..YES she good girl..wait for me only and joke about taking money off other poor sucker

Eaasy to rid. just tell her you have no money, money all gone, have to give to your mother for hospital back home, and need loan from her..can even add that you are sad and no thai woman will go with you because of no money, she should run away fast and problem solved

I do agree with OP.Any Thai with education and read english good must think we are such pathetic loosers with all arguments and flaming go on here.Especially so many know it all about Thai poitics and while farang cannot even vote.Thai people must laugh at you

I do start to read Thai lately and see many forums from Thai talking to each other.no flaming or bad word, actualty very poite and friendle in manner. To bad we do not see here

Thai person only learn English to marry and take rich farang to cleaner.

+if every Thai lady speak good english then how we know which lady is prostitute?????

There are probably many others who are like him living in Thailand.

Not doubt, for sure! I expect if Bin Laden could do his choice of hidding places over again he would have choosen Thailand.

Yes Thailand could be hub of invisible farang. Lately in Australia we have report of this Peter Falconio,a Brit who is supposed to be murdered here long time ago,say he did have one way ticket to Thailand,his GF did not know about this and some people say he is still alive, maybe he up in Isaan being buffalo doctor

Thai consulate website in Australia say this

6. A one-entry visa must be utilized within 3 months from the date of issue of the visa. A double entry visa must be utilised within 6 months from the date of issue of the visa. A multiple entry visa must be utilized within one year.

from my last visiting i did have 2 month time space to first use visa, then to get extension before expiry date and also do border run each time before exit date given. Not to hard to do

should get close to 180 days from double entry but will always loose a few day here and there with border run trips before the date.

Edit: with these words i do think you can even start second entry even if a few days before the 6 month expiry? will then get 2months+1 month extension to go onward from that date yes?

For me i will not trust the thing like this in Thailand with so much Mai pen rai thinking could be anything floating atround in the water and never to clean

If you need to have chastity belt for girfirend then you need to have new girlfriend

probably will be no good anyway you then have to go to buy chasity belt again for new girlfiend

Many time this happen but in opposing role and will be farang manout drinking every night many hours drinking with latest bargirl while thai wife stay home and keep family. Nothing new about this thing except if woman do to farang then him screaming to heli about all his trouble!!!!

I think this guy is stuck in bear trap,he want to take care the kids and already invest so much money into this thing and cannot walk away. This why many thai woman want man to spend a big fortune for her,then she know she have the all the power

good message to have in the story like this...to stay single and keep the money and then no need to go stay in nut house

Many thai guy know this, can still have fun and not be married. even the thai guys run away when they make woman pregnant. Maybe best should leave the thai man and woman play silly game together and farang better to pay dam dam bargirl for short time

so many time farang only get the girl that have desperat needs and want money

Perth can no longer issue vsas

Perth no longer issue visa as it is shut down. I think most of the business to go through Perth now handled by the embassie in canberra

Funny thing how the cheap charlie as you say would jump off the building with the higher price of 20 or 30 baht but still they go to down thousands of baht on beer and give the bargirl 3000baht to spent the night

even on other thread some guy saying if he should pay double sinsot

Can this story be real?? this man already pay 250k baht for helping the busimess and then wanting again the next big prize for sinsot..wow why else would these thais call us the white buffalo

The price he already given some US$ about $8000 is good to buy second hand car in most countrys

Many poster say this girl secondhand if then she must hAVE FERRARI badge on the bonnet

I think Thaialnd have more many girl than even sexond hand car so if he buy this one he to expect many time at mechanic and paying all the high service and mantenance fee every year until he run out of money.

At least with the car you can sell again and get some money back

Lots of people forgetting that some culture are built around many lies.You cannot know the reason and many times there is none reason why these people tell such stories.Maybe some kids get into some sort of trouble and make up this fantastic story to cover over the real thing.This is done on purpoise to set everyone looking in the other way.It is a magician trick even the kiddies will use and funny to the adults on this site dont even know it going on and looking for silly ways it can come true.

Why to do it...Maybe they are in some trouble and give away the valuables to get out of trouble.Maybe drugs, blackmail, gambling debts,friends or family in trouble and need money to get them out of some situation.even they might have bribe a police officer to make some problem that they are caught goes away.who knows

this is a culutral thing and always happening many times in these small villages. The adults know what lies come yet they ignore and pretend it never happens.This set up the idea to do over and over.The most crazy they make the story the easier to shut it down quick and hide what they want

Even in this thread many pages of silly and ridiculous spy story scenario to explain how a thai woman who pawn her own jewellry

Oh, i see this is your very first time on this website and even though you have all this trouble in mind the first think to do is to become a member and post this on thaivisa

You don't have to lie, but you don't need to tell the truth either, if the farang in question asks you a direct question, just answer that you don't know.

That in itself is a lie. Get real, the guy should be told the truth. Just a question of whether the OP has got the balls ?

Do not worry, I have balls enough to tell him, but the point is whether it is worth it or not. Why make an issue that is not mine to my problem.

The rule here is never come between a girl and her business.

If you speak up,

1) he will hate you and not believe you.

2) she will hate you and quite possibly have someone burn your house down, with you in it.

This kind of thinking is right in most countries but if someone would tell you this in Thailand ony a fool would not listen or not consider this is possible.

If he would not believe you then he is the fool and rember the saying about a fool and his money, you are better to go and burn his or his Gf house first and then maybe he will go back home and save all the time and money and heartahce

In the past there have been reports of thieves targeting houses, pumping gas into the house to incapacitate the occupants and then rob the house. Talk about far-fetched.

Funnily enough exactly that occured to not one, but three (completely seperate families) houses in Kabinburi on one night two months ago.

Over 30 neighbourhood dogs were also poisoned preceding this.

Police reports were filed and the gang of robbers were later aprehended.....

So, on balance the OP may be lacking in detail, however, it is certainly possible that a robbery may have taken place.

People may have been robbed, but no one used gas on them, because gas as described in these stories doesn't exist. This is what happens in the real world when you flood a building with gas to try to knock people out. 170 people dead and hundreds severely injured

http://en.wikipedia...._hostage_crisis

And yes, if this gas have been used in the red shirt riots maybe the people then would not have lost lives.Cleary the government and army should go to ask the crooks for advice on crowd control

Those who succeed in removing all traces of humour are then considered as moderators.

how you get away with this comment i do not know BUT i think many of these posters are from the times of the 3 stooges wherre yuo can poke someone in th eeye and it is verty funny

The Op might have already open a big can of stinky whoopee-doo for many readers

Is the small village you talk about drive some 45 minutes away from Surin??

You gotta love the Thai banks credit card business...

Pay a fee to get the card.... pay an annual fee to keep the card.... pay a fee if you lose the card or have it stolen....

Pay 20% APR interest on any carried balances.... Any problem with fraudulent card activity... you pay until reporting to the bank, even if you might not be aware of any problem....

And frankly, I'm not sure how those rules apply to the skimming or copying of a card number....

If you card is physically lost or stolen, at least you're going to know that usually pretty promptly...

But if just your number is stolen (not the card itself), you might not know for who knows how long....

I didn't know all these details before checking about them today, in response to this thread...

Now that I know... I'd NEVER take out a Thai Bank credit card.. NEVER NEVER NEVER.....

I can see what you say here but we should point out there are some good Thai banking practice too. Kasikorn has some good security for internet transaction in some times the bank will send you a code by sms to your mobile phone and without this code yuo will not be able to do the transaction. I believe you can also get this to send you a text message whenever your account is being used, so you would know of any suspicious transactions.Maybe they have been make to do this because of many times a Thai girl will clean out a mans account.555

With the desperation of people these days and clever of crooks everywhere i am not suprised the banks will not pay in some case of fraud. If they did it i think many bank be bankRUPTED in no time.
