Regarding LASIK for people after 40, read http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100607020901AAX6Xeb.

I am having unbelievable difficulties in getting the airport tax refunded for a few flights I did not take last year. I have gone through the tax refund process and even after several reminders and complaints, the money still was not wired to my SCB account. Every time I complain they respond that "Based from the system log, we were in the midst of processing your airport tax refund request. Kindly wait for our reply and thank you for your patience. We hope that you will grant us the opportunity to prove there are better experiences to have with us." I keep getting this response for a few months already. Anyone else having similar problems? Seems like they would like to keep those money and simply hope people will get tired and just give up.

I wear silicone-hydrogel contact lenses and the quality of life is not an issue at all, they are very comfortable, I do not even feel I have them. I will be 40 in a few years and because of the inevitable presbyopia after LASIK I decided not to undergo this treatment.

You can count on it.

I just ignore the dual priced attractions, that's the only way to teach them a lesson.

It means that if the current fares are a a bit over 300B and the total price is around 3000B, at 99B it will be still around 3000B with the taxes etc.

Yet do not expect to get it for only 99B, the taxes and fuel surcharges will make this well over 1000 baht.

at 640*480 30fps and mpeg4, you get more than an hour per GB

It is still available, just ask the various visa agents.

Exactly.

When will people finally learn...

If you want to dry only, I suppose just set to DRY and not to COOL, simple as that

"I retired from running a greeting card shop. I met a lady here. The lawyers advised me to have a BVI company because otherwise, they said, when you sell, the Thais take a lot of tax off you."

How can the BVI company sell any Thai villa if it can not own it in the first place?

I doubt anyone would bother letting cheaply a house for 3 months, especially furnished one.

just beware that Agoda charges $15 for cancelling a booking, even several months before. Better use booking.com or other sites where you can change/cancel the booking for free.

Well, I would be interested, too, so no news yet?

Indeed, pure hoax, they advertise Chiang Rai for 107 baht all in and there are none, all are over 1000 baht, and almost one year in advance, this time it is a huge fail from AA.

I do not think that water from the air is any better than water from some lake. And would you drink water that left someones/something's lungs, or that someone coughed out before including all the bacteria? I better drink the filtered municipal water, the only criteria is a new machine which can be easily seen from the outside look of it and which should guarantee that the filters/UV lamps are still working. Further boiling can not spoil anything.

...Kind of expensive at 55k thb, but gave it a try. I bought the Singaporean made one, not the Chinese ones.

...Just plug it in for electricity and makes my water costs about 1.5 thb per liter.

I suppose you forgot to factor in the price of 55k THB...

Devaluation of the Baht can help boost export in case wages rise like this. People will be able to buy more locally produced goods (or at least the same amount as before due to the inflation triggered by this wage hike) and at the same time the export price will stay the same (higher in THB, but same or even lower in USD, EUR, etc.). Simple as that.

There is a solution to this — devaluation of the baht.

OK, so enlighten me, where does the water come from in the Singha factory? From some pure hill spring perhaps? Or from the same water reservoir that is used used for the municipal water?

you can filter all the water, but you still breathe the polluted air, eat the polluted food, one must die of something in the end anyway
