PlanetX

It would be interesting to compare the overall negative impact missionaries and NGOs have had on native/ local populations to see if it outweighs the positive

I really like Salsa Kitchen as well.

I also like the green chile burritoes at Diablos

planetx.

re ... There are many pet stores in town. There is one off of Chang clan that serves as both a vet and pet supplies

no offence but there are three vets just off of chiang clan road .... and one on it almost opposite the shangrila !

which one did you find ?

just interested ... dave2

Sorry about the vague post -- I am really hung over

The blue one

PS : Planet X ? .... the 12th planet ? ... and the book series by Mr. Zecharia Sitchin ? I am a big fan !

PlanetX was an old, rundown bar I used to go to

Awesome deal. Thanks

I brought a cat here and rent a house. Immigration was very simple but I did extensive research and had all of the paperwork and shot records. I do not let her outside. Thailand is a very different from back home. There are many soi dogs, diseases, traffic, etc so if you do let her out dont expect much.

The Flora House just opened up a brand new building and they allow a cat. It is 9,000 baht and includes a living room/kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and balcony. It is a good place to start while you look for more long term accomodations.

There are many pet stores in town. There is one off of ChangKhlan that serves as both a vet and pet supplies. You can also easily get the Royal Canin or Science Diet brand pet food (the higher quality cat food).

Cat litter is available at all major supermarkets. I bought a big plastic tub and used that as a cat box. I also bought a water station that continually moves the water around to encourage the cat to drink. It is important that they drink alot of water to get used to the new climate.

I never stayed in a condo or apartment but I know of others that have. All of the serviced apartments will not allow pets but I am sure there are plenty of owners renting out condos that would allow a pet.

House hunting can be done a variety of ways - if you go through an agent just tell them you have a cat and they will find places for you. If you look on your own have a Thai friend call the owners and ask if a cat is ok.

too bad humans arent smart enough to realize the same thing - liberal/conservative red/yellow --- etc, etc, etc

your a douche jackers

If you cant get a Falang girl back home then odds arent much better here

I used to go to the Grandview everyday for lunch and the food was very good but the service was fantastic.

Hot Shots from 11pm - 1am is good in Pornping Hotel

Live music + dancing Falang guy/ Thai girl mix

Monkey CLub - Trendy Thai some Falang - Nimminheimin Road Soi 9

That would be interesting - especially if there was room for discussion about areas that the series does not cover

Anything relatively mainstream like Zeitgeist in the "truth movement" will be corrupted to some degree

Back to the 7-11

Looks like the girl on the right is picking her nose.

... and eating it

Some habits die hard

So you are 100% legal but encourage others not to be because a shady TEFL company takes out a full page ad?

So now www.islandtefl.com is a "shady" company,because they took out an ad,plus several pages of participants experiences, in teaching, in a magazine which appeals to young people wishing to travel and earn some money. Well must be loads of "shady" companies out there, even in CM.

You are very big on accusations Planet X. For the umpteenth time I am not encouraging anyone to do anything illegal I am just trying to point out to you that SOME people, can and do, work in the education system in Thailand and other Asian countries without a degree That is the reality of the situation.How many times do you have to be told by myself and other posters? If you can't accept it you really have a problem.

This thread has over 1200+ views so if you dont think people are reading your comments and feeling encouraged you have a problem

Young people that want to travel and take advantage of the poor Thai educational system at the expense of young Thai children -- thats great

your a clown

Very good observation WK

RIP

Very sad story but you are taking some risk climbing on the back of an elephant

Oops - I really didnt phrase that well

anyone know of any place to get a golf club repaired in CM?

So you are 100% legal but encourage others not to be because a shady TEFL company takes out a full page ad?

My house if the GF doesnt rip one and clear the mooban again

My TGF ripped one after the Dukes that almost killed me

The UN is a gang of organized criminals

hahahaha - thanks for removing all logic from this discussion

The logic is simple really. Farangs that can't integrate and drive per the established standards, tend to drive in a chaotic and spastic fashion. As this is contrary from the norm and highly unexpected, it tends to catch others off guard and cause accidents. If they would just relax a bit and go with the flow, they would be much better off.

I'm not saying let down your guard completely or stop driving defensively. I'm saying that every time the car in front of you taps his breaks, you don't need to either slam on your breaks and/or swerve across multiple lanes. Learn to anticipate this, stop following so dam_n close, and relax/ stop spazzing out. Its exactly this over-reactive, spastic behavior of other farangs that have led to ALL of my near misses.

And yes, I have taken my own advise and learned to anticipate other farangs driving like retarded crack babies. I tend to give them a wide berth now, when I see them on the road.

-Mestizo

So its the farangs that make driving in Thailand dangerous

Ok

I would assume it has more to do with the lack of driver training, rule enforcement, driver courtesy and value of life

Its not my personal standards - its the standards of being a qualified teacher

If someone is naturally a gifted teacher, maybe they should consider investing into the profession and making a career out of it
