Thai's with masters degrees are making less than 20,000 thb per month in this field or US $600 a month
You would need to have some incredible skill they don't have here to maybe get into a positioning managing a bunch of these guys if your education and skill is high enough
Realistically the chances are very low
Years ago things were different but now high paying expat jobs are like winning the lottery
For each person you find on a full expat package thousands of others are not

There is a nice small cheap fishing shop near Dreamworld
I bought some really nice rod and reals for about 600 baht each (nice)
We have tons of fishing ponds all around Rangsit
After a local showed me how to make the (What I call the potato bomb bait) a fist size mixture of rice flour and something else that goes about a foot above the hook, and we use bread for bait
You can catch all kinds of fish everyone
PM me if you need any details

How about offering it free for those that eat the whole thing in less than one hour?
PS get rid of the greasy onions

Returning from a trip to Vientienne yesterday they are no longer offering ANY multiple entry B VISA's
The best you can hope for is a 3 month single entry
After talking to 10 expats in the visa pickup line, the story was the same for all
One expat was denied a tourist visa for the reason as having too many
Some patrons needing to apply for a tourist VISA showed up 20 minutes before noon on Friday to be told the VISA office was closed and they would have to come back Monday; even though posted hours were 12:00
Vientienne is extremely dusty and dirty from all the construction
The prices everywhere are skyrocketing out of control and every Tom, Dick and Harry is trying to swindle every baht or kip they can from you

Without huge sums of money, these police officers cannot move up through the ranks to the top positions<BR><BR>Their salaries are much to small to allow this so they look for money in other illegal activities already mentioned<BR><BR>There is no such thing as a merit system for the good honest police doing a good honest job<BR><BR>They are swept aside when the reshuffles come up for those officers with lots of money<BR><BR>Money is power in Thailand<BR><BR>Not just the police, in any field<BR><BR>Why is every single politician in Thailand a multi-millionaire?<BR><BR>Same reason<BR><BR>Without money you are nothing and have no chance at honest success.<BR><BR>To make money you have to have the power to control illegal activities which it seems is where these people get the bulk of their wealth

big golfing developments
What is your definition of big golfing developments?
Golf in Thailand is extremely well developed, hosting major mens and womens tournaments each year
A few Thai players are in the top ranks of the European PGA and play in the USA PGA
Many women stars are well
There are 1000's of golf academies, junior tournaments etc trying to replicate the next Tiger Woods whose mother was from Thailand
There are an abundance of excellent golf courses all over Thailand
I fail to see how a long distance driving tournament could bring anything to a maturely established golf industry?
Maybe as a pre-event to a professional tournament?
As a potential sponsor?
Hard to say.
You need to do your homework, I am sure all the facts you need for the Thailand Golf Industry are on the internet

Have both bosses certify a letter as to what happened and testify to the fact it was no fraudulent

Who in the world memorizes ram specs?
Go to the nearest IStore and buy it
Anything at Panthip or anywhere else is a crap shoot whether it is original or not

I suggest you steer clear of it unless you are in the demographic
If you want to write a decent review is one thing, but trying to be a movie cop and suggest what we should or should not steer clear of is out of place
We can watch what ever we want to its a free country

Why don't you donate them to a worthy cause?
This was something that was free to you
I would be embarrassed to even mention this myself

A long line in indicative of a process that does not work.<BR><BR>The process does not work because someone has not used the prior years of hosting this event to fix the same faults from the previous years<BR><BR>Just hosting an event is not being responsible to the patrons<BR><BR>They all deserve a happy and stress free day for the money they are paying

If you pay the guys sitting out front in the tent they will get your passport back to you the SAME DAY around 4:00 PM with no overnight stay
Price is what ever you can negotiate

Friend the Thailand that you are describing has long been gone
I came here in 1984
I remember a much different country
Phangan, not a week goes by you do not read about some foreigner arrested for drugs
There is trashed dumped along the roads everywhere
It is over commercialized and every single person is looking to make a buck
For a family it is not the place to go AT ALL
Try Koh Chang on the East Side of Island
You can still find what you are describing
There is no development at all on the east side of Koh Chang
Last week the beaches were empty even on the developed side

Almost hard to believe people are this gullible

There is always 1000 opinions about work permits and the law
Thai Airways regularly has engineers or specialists come from the USA and the UK to work on the aircraft at Suvarnabhumi Airport
GE, Rolls Royce, Pratt and Whitney are a few of the companies that send support here almost every single month or anytime a specialist is needed
They do not have work permits or get work permits
They get security level 6 pass at the airport which is the highest level to come and go as they need
So there must be some other cases where a WP is not required?

Rates have recently risen and I was told will rise at a rate of 5% per year for quite a few years to come
My electric bill in my home is always over 4000 baht and going up
There is an easy way to visualize what is drawing the most electric
First of all shut off your main circuit breaker box and you should not be using any electricity
Then turn on the breakers one at a time and watch which one spins the meter the most
For me Air Con # 1, clothers dryer close # 2, 50" Flat screen TV is 3, water pump 4, washer machine 5, PC with 24" flat screen 6
Something along this order when I test recently
About 3 months ago, additional charges were started to be added if you use over a certain amount per month from what was previously used for me the additional charges are adding 1200 to 1500 to the bill each month

It seems all the new people are the first ones to jump on the I am going to buy a condo here in Thailand
If you do your research you will change your mind
This subject has been beat to death over the years
However condo owners not maintaining the buildings, glutton of new condos every year and the fact that most thais do not buy used housing means you have no investment at all
The other thing worth anything here is land
You would be 100 times better off buying a house in you need a place to live with land than a condo
The condo won't help your case one bit

Customs tax is due on all vehicles regardless of where they come from.
There are some really nice jeeps in Laos for around 480,000 baht new but when you add in all the import tax they are more than twice that much to get into Thailand
So that is why there are none here

My advice is get a new lawyer
You are getting screwed for no reason

The Sofitel Hua Hin has it's own nice beach
I do not know when you plan on going but I just called for room for July 10 and most places with give 40% discount off internet rates because the hotels are all empty
You can make your own deal
The other thing is once you get to Hua Hin look around
There is such a vacancy you wont have any problems getting a room anywere
Holiday Inn Cha Am is nice as well, only about 12km from Hua Hin

Agree Wii is the one for kids. Huge availabibility of games in Thalind from 60 baht each
My son has 250+ games and the house has become afterschool neighborhood play center
Thai kids love this
Wii Sports is great
PS3 cannot get copied games for

Recording Security cameras are very cheap and effective deterent to theft
Once the employees know everything they do is being recorded, the theft will stop or have them arrested with the evidence
Sad day but you are correct theft is big problem and there needs to be a deterent.

A Condo is the worst possible investment you can make in Thailand
You are much better off to move just to the outskirts of Bangkok and buy a 3 bedroom house where you own the land.
I can be to downtown Bangkok in 30 minutes.
3 bedroom house in my Moo Ban with gated security if you want to rent are only 10,000 to 12,000 a month
This is a home with a garden yard, trees, driveway etc.
The problem with the condo is when the owners of the building decide to do a less than stellar job taking care of the building your investment becomes worthless
That and a glutton of condo's on the market and the fact that Thais rarely ever buy used housing
