GARLIC DILL PICKLES

Ingredients:

4 Cups Water

¼ Cup Natural Sea Salt (non-iodized)

½ Cup White Vinegar

Pack cucumbers, garlic, chilis, black peppercorns, and dill into a sterilized jar. Fill with hot brine to cover leaving enough space for ½ cup of vinegar. Add the vinegar and cap.

I would like to be able to find some staff member who can communicate in English.

How many staff are fluent in Thai in Tescos in England?

If you really try hard...and don't be a <deleted>...I think you will be able to communicate your needs to the staff.

Many Thais are "shy" and won't approach you first.

A simple question like excuse me can you help me find this... can get you going.

The Thai people have been learning English for over 50 years in their schools

.I can say this with some certainty as the wife just turned 49. (Not to say they are fluent in any way or manner, but most know some the basic words. Hello, can I help you...blah blah blah.

They know a lot more than the many expat pompous pricks will give them credit for (and most likely the reason why they dislike said expats so much).

I live in Angthong. We have lived here since 1997. My wife is Thai but studied in the USA and is fluent in English. My wife and I usually shop in Angthong, Suphanburi, and Ayutthaya.

First let me clarify something, You don't know me. I am not one of those expat pompous pricks that you are talking about. I understand that this is Thailand and the primary language is Thai. That is why I make every effort to speak slowly and use simple words.

The Thai people have been "studying" English for over 50 years. English is the International language. However, many have not "learned" English. I was a volunteer English teacher for many years and am well aware of the issues you have raised. Yes, most Thais know basic words like; Hello, Stand up please., Good morning Teacher, How are you? I am fine thank you and YOU. Please sit down, Thank you teacher.

This thread is about Big C, not Tesco. Why do you bring up Tesco in England. By the way I have a much easier time finding English speakers at Tesco and Makro.

The title is "What would u like to see from Big C?" I am not demanding English speakers.

I would like to be able to find some staff member who can communicate in English.

Deli turkey meats, Mexican foods (salsa, tortillas & tortilla chips, cheeses), Giardiniera (a Chicago food, my God I miss that). That's it off the top off my head.

They love ALL presidents.......... Benjamin Franklin, Ulysses Grant, Thomas Jefferson..........

Franklin and Grant were not presidents.

I was worked as a heavy machinery mechanic in the USA and used these brands.

It's 500 Baht at my local immigration office, no receipt. I am happy to pay for this service. It is much better than spending a day driving more than 100 KM to the US Embassy in BKK, finding parking in an office building across the street, paying US$50.00.

It is a pleasure going to the Immigration office in Ayutthaya.

I'm an American and enjoy good beef. I used to grind my own beef for burgers. I used rump and chuck with added fat to get an 85/15 ratio. I have since found the frozen ground (minced) beef at MAKRO to be as good and a lot less work.

Methavalai Sorndaeng Restaurant is a very fine Thai Restaurant.

the great leader P has chosen well. Junta by the general for the general...

The fact that people like AhJahn Somporn Thepsithar were chosen for the NLA is proof that the the intention is for the good of Thailand.

The report said the poorest NLA member is Somporn Thepsitthar. He is the oldest member and his assets are valued at only Bt160,735.46.

What are the odds that only the car he's driving Oops I mean his driver is driving of course, is worth about 50 times his total declared assets ?

AhJahn Somporn is a retired educator. I am proud to say that he is a close friend of mine. He has spent his whole life doing good things for the Thai people. I am sure that his asset declaration is true.

I have noticed that many food items that are almost exclusively used by westerners have drastically increased in price. A prime example is butter. Where most dairy products have increased 10 to 20 percent over the years, butter has gone up 300 percent. In 1998 Walls ice cream was 66 baht, it is now 75 baht. Pure butter was 31 baht it is now 90 baht. Thai people don't use much butter. Foreigners who want butter will pay the higher price.

In America children who are slow learners go to tutors. In Thailand the opposite is true.

The source of the loud booming bass is the Temple in the neighborhood.

the difference is,a hamburger is pork,and a beefburger is beef. easy to make your own,nice big burger buns at makro.

In the USA a "hamburger" is beef.

I used to buy beef at a local market and ground it at home, made patties, and froze it. About 3 years ago the price of beef went up. I can now by frozen ground beef at MAKRO for about the same price. As far as quality Thai beef is tough not good for steaks or roasts; except beef tenderloin. However, the ground beef is no different than the ground beef in USA super markets. Great for hamburgers, meat balls, chili, and meat loaf.

In Angthong we pay 9 Baht for 20 liter plastic bottles including delivery. We use it for drinking and cooking. The village water comes from a well. Sometimes the water is turbid. We use a sand filter to keep the water clear. We store the filtered water in stainless steel tanks and pump it for bath, shower, toilets and cleaning.

Buddha’s teachings give us Five Precepts, a code of conduct that we should follow to make our lives good. The Five Precepts are:

1. You should not harm any living creature by action, word or thought.

2. You should not take that that is not given.

3. You should avoid sexual misconduct.

4. You should not speak wrong words.

5. You should not consume intoxicants that will cause weakness of mind and control.

The great western religions Judaism and Christianity also have a code of conduct, The Ten Commandments. The commandments are:

1. I am the Lord thy God.

2. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

5. Honor thy father and thy mother.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

10. Thou shalt not covet.

Looking at these codes of conduct we can see that they are very similar.

The “First Precept” and the “Sixth Commandment” both are about respect for life.

The “Second Precept” and the “Eighth Commandment” are the same.

The “Third Precept” and the “Seventh Commandment” are also the same.

The “Fourth Precept” and the “Third and Ninth Commandments” are about not lying or swearing.

The “Fifth Precept” teaches us that to follow the teachings requires mindfulness and self control. Intoxicants can weaken us and lead to wrong behavior.

As for other similarities, in Buddhism we are taught to respect, to honor, and to trust “The Triple Gem”, The Buddha, Dharma, and the Disciples. The “First, Second and Fourth Commandments” teach about respect for God and tradition.

In addition, a basic teaching in Buddhist doctrine is that “Desire is the cause of despair”. To desire is to covet. This is the Tenth Commandment.

Dharma teaches us to have respect for our family, as does the “Fifth Commandment”.

It is easy to see from this that although Buddhism is an eastern religion it has many similarities to western religions.

The major difference is that Buddhism teaches us that all things come from “Nature” while in the Judeo-Christian doctrine God is the creator. Perhaps it can be said that “Nature is God and God is Nature”.
