KIWIBATCH

I teach an English language course part time in the evenings (reading/speaking) to a class of 25 to 28 year old Technical School Thai students.

I almost fell over with shock last week when their Thai teacher informed me that these same students..."attend classes at the Tech school during the day - 12x50 minute sessions per week - to learn to both speak and write Thai......."

Likewise...interested to know the equipment you used. Great video...great music...great video work by you...... please keep it coming

Thailand...the HUB of daftness

New Zealand Customs/Agriculture inspectors at NZ airports would have an absolute fit if you turned up with a 1kg bag of Thai rice...confiscated on the spot and you would probably be fined as well

Thailand ...hub of stupidity

I sympathise with the OP but I'd advise him to ignore the time-honoured TV BS approach that advocates moving out in the dead of the night with your tail between your legs, changing your phone number, abandoning your regular haunts and essentially uprooting your life.

It's a waste of time and resources unless you're gonna leave your job too because she can easily follow you home after you finish work, right?

Thai men deal with this kinda shit from an early age and their way works.

Twice I found myself in situations like this myself here and, twice the Thai approach brought the situation to a satisfactory conclusion.

Explain the Thai, men, Way !

Yes please explain the thai man "way"...I think I need it....I am in a somewhat similar situation

You have to be careful when fiddling around with the teachers at the school you teach. I ended up marrying my wife (what a coincidence) but if you just want a bit of slap and tickle your best off looking elsewhere. Your life can be made VERY difficult if you piss the wrong woman off at a place you work at

Hub of clowns, hub of clones..

LOS Land of Stupidity

....and of course...... cows never say no........never get headaches........don't play around with other woman....... don't have bad breath from drinking or smoking.....and oh my god that l...o...n...g coarse tongue......wifey's onto a winner here.....

My first Thai GF's name was Korn....my current GF's name is Kob.....(absolutely true)

......and in more news just to hand........the weathers bound to change.......

My Thai GF introduced me to dusting my armpits with powder.......I work all day in a non-aircon environment as an english teacher...so the work is not backbreaking and the sweat isn't exactly pouring off me but I am sweating nonetheless - and no sweaty odour at the end of the day.

The powder works a treat and is cheap to buy.

The roll on deo's are expensive for sure...I also found they eventually ruin the fabric of your shirts in the underarm area by leaving an unremovable yellow stain (although I see Nivea have bought out a RO Deo that claims not to do this)

Alternatively in most 711's...and all thai pharmacies/drug stores there is a small deo cost 40b-50b that will last you 6 months...the thais use it....

It's brand name is YOU and I stick....it is made of crystals...plus tumeric and carambola...it is odourless....non sticky

Here is something to help us all

Get the video posted on You Tube

specialy potatos will not do easy in thailand due to hot weather the potato does fine but he plant will burn and die

what you can do is get some old car tyres fill one up with sand plant the potato pieces as soon as they stick their head up the ground stack on the second tyre fill with sand plant ageain potatos this worked for me fine the last tyre i did not plant any potato once the plants get out of that one take the whole stack apart and plenty of potatos big and small.

Wow, that's pretty cool K. retell. I am definitely gonna' try it. Thanks.

forgot to mention i did not use seeds but sprouted potatos cut into pieces by the way

Thanks. That is what I will do. Have tried with the cut pieces before with disapointing

results, but the tires idea sounds good. Cheers for your post.

You could also use/try 200 litre drums (steel or plastic) ..cut both the bottom and the top out of the drum...paint the drum white to reflect sunlight (heat)....plant your potatoes in the bottom..as soon as they pop their heads up.....top up (cover their heads) with sand/soil.

I used this method in New Zealand when I lived there as I only had a small area in which to grow veges.

Once the plant reaches the top of the drum.....and the head dies off....it becomes easy enough to simply lift the drum clear of the "stack" and harvest the potatoes.

Just to mention that the watering of the plant in the drum needs to be done regularly and liberally as the drum method raises the temperature of the soil (and the plant stem) versus the normal method of growing potatoes.

I have not used this method in Thailand (yet) so take method this as an alternative/suggestion.

.......look...its the Battleship Thaksinalactica............

.....look....Yingluck can fly........

.....yes dear it was the flying sorcerer....also known as Thaksin.........

.....it was big and saucer shaped and moving from right to left.......

Ok we witnessed the success of theblethers .......Things you wont hear said in Thailand....... now here is another lighthearted challenge....all for a bit of fun.

So name the HUBS we hear so much about in Thailand....poetic licence allowed....

Here are some starters from me........

HUB- HUB Horrendous Unprecedented Bullshit - HUB

ASS-HUB A Silly Season - HUB

EDU-HUB Educational Dilemma Unfolding - HUB

CORE-HUB Corruption Of Residents Expected - HUB

BTSBAL-HUB BTS Balloon Attack Legit - HUB

SCAMBK-HUB Scamming Citizens At MBK -HUB

JETSKI-HUB Just Empty The Stupid Kustomers Innerpocket - HUB

BARGIRL-HUB Be A Real Guy Interested - Real Love - HUB

TAXISCAM-HUB Take An Xtra Interest Seeing Constant Adding Metercharges - HUB

ok....your turn..........

........another HUB surely.....Thailand HUB of absolute stupidity during Songkran......well some of it anyway....... but what does occur qualifies for the HUB label......

.....aaaahhh time for another HUB label...now lets see.....mmmm...... THAILAND - HUB OF HIGH IMPORT TAX ON MOTOR VEHICLES.....that will do.......

........so Sombat the Deputy Secretary wants "the students to practice their skills".....what skills?......(note to self..when I teach my students I must include a lesson on "cleaning aircon units")

A. Get bucket put in water

B. Get ladder

C Take a break and eat food, check Blackberry for new messages

C. Climb ladder

D. Clean aircon unit

E. Take a break, eat food, check Blackberry for new messages

etc etc etc

.....so the report says 150000 - 190000 Thai workers are employed in Tom Yam Kung restaurants....really ?

interesting to see the word "terrorists" being used instead of the usual mealy mouth "seperatists" reference....terrorists they are, no question about it.

oh my god ...not ANOTHER HUB.........its getting that way where are small booklet needs to printed entitled "HUBS in Thailand where to find, where to go...A guide for tourists and locals alike"

I have this syndrome...here is a picture of me at school in New Zealand
