First stepped my feet onto Asia, 1 March 2003, with friends. Knew I had to visit Chiang Mai, alone. Spent about 9 days here, and ran home to sell the car and bike. Arrived CMai e31May.

There's an older fisherman from BC who wears a fig leaf...not from the cartoon strip B.C.

As Springsteen said, Dylan changed the world. The Grateful Dead didn't change their underwear.

Last night I downloaded "Almost Cut My Hair," by CSN&Y. Already had "Four Dead in Ohio," "White Rabbit," etc. I joined the anti-war movement as Reagan ran for re-election.

I thought there was one on Chotana going north past rajabat, west/left side

I would have to get my Thai TEFL cert/diploma certified in BKK to teach EFL in Mexico.. 3-step process. MOE, MFA, Mex embassy.

Can you imagine the import tax for Thailand?

Prices

Maybach automobiles are priced to directly compete with Rolls-Royce. As of early 2008, European and United States prices were as follows:

* Maybach 57 - € 366,934[5] / $ 341,750[6]

I am told that many Thai schools hire foreigners to teach, however do not - I repeat do not - grant a work permit to these individuals. Very little amazes me in Amazing Thailand.

Maybe that's off topic, but let's discuss. Who knows the numbers? When polled in the last couple of years, most farang teachers in Thai schools give WP's. Many language centers can't give WP's..

Hmmm...retired ex-schoolteacher... (but ex-IRS!). Gay (with 6 kids!). Anti-Taxsin (but I live in Chinese-Thai village in Amphur San Kamphaeng)...oh well.

I could ask another mod to close this slug fest carefully begun as an OP by a banned ex-member. No need to keep this open.

21OO baht = chain and sprocket(s) - Honda parts and service, every 20K km - not bad. First 1000-km service on a simple 4-valve Suzuki GS500 in the US = $65. 8 years ago.

Hmmm...A US$3 teensy A-frame bungalow at Mexico-Guat border, no plumbing, one 60-watt bulb, pallet on floor.

On the Mexican or Guatemalan side?  My worst ever was a tiny bungalow on the Guatemalan side of the border.

About 10 to 30 meters on the Mexican side.We swam to Guat in our undies and walked back.

I just checked websites of Lanna IST, Grace, CMIS, NIS and APIS. No info on faculty education at first glance.

My mechanic 32 meters into the village is good but Honda dealers (big service staff) are better.

1 to comment how to screw (lightbulbs) in Pattaya

3 to comment that Chiang Mai (lightbulbs) screw better

2 to comment about pretty pretty (lightbulbs) that screw in the courtyard

TOT good for Yahoo email and finance. Facebook also.

I checked my daughter's webpage at the gifted-talented school where she teaches high school chemistry. As her proud Papa, I asked why she didn't list her ultra-expensive degrees from one of Texas' best schools. "Oh Daddy, half the faculty went there!"

I don't know exactly, but I think Prem-Lanna-APIS-NIS-CMIS have real Western certified teachers. Even the Spanish profesora at CMIS.

Hmmm...A US$3 teensy A-frame bungalow at Mexico-Guat border, no plumbing, one 60-watt bulb, pallet on floor. A free night in a Mayan storeroom filled with bedbugs and porcelain commodes.

The term Nigger is offensive to blacks when hurled as an epithet, even as a French espirit. Likewise, I consider it an insult when it's hurled by the Shitish.

Shall we return to the topic, which may have been a troll to get us insulting each other?

I hate to sound negative. But this is a PR statement from the central government.

No. Been there, done it, and bought a t-shirt that said mai kojai. The central administration at MOE has the attention span of a 3-year-old. Local schools have too many students per classroom, poorly trained Thai and farang teachers. I taught Maths in Matayom 1. Singapore textbook, no coordination with Thai textbook. ...If Abdullah and Xinxhi pay 3 Singaporean dollars to buy an abacus, will the high tide be at 3 extredasabsclisch?

Austin might

I said in Texas.

Oh, I see. Austin, the capital of Minnesota, as opposed to the capital of California being Toledo. Sure.

Actually, Houston is fairly progressive for Texas. Esp, the Montrose. But it isn't San Fran.

Austin might

Ah yes, before Rama IX park, near but opposite Sasha Panich, after Rajabat Univ...right before the place where the blue truck hit the white dog.
